This is also one of the wildest Godzilla films, as it pits the King of the Monsters against a weird and deadly titan in the form of Biollante, a giant mutant plant genetically engineered from the cells of a rose, a renegade scientist’s dead daughter, and Godzilla itself. On top of that massive clash, there’s also a storyline revolving around spies, biotechnology, and psychic children. Godzilla vs. Biollante also saw a massive improvement in the special effects department, complementing the traditional practical effects of the stuntmen inside of the monster costumes.
In addition to the film, you’ll also get the following bonus materials:
- 4K digital restoration with 5.0 surround DTS-HD Master Audio soundtrack
- New audio commentary featuring film historian Samm Deighan
- Making-of program from 1993 featuring director Kazuki Omori and special effects director Koichi Kawakita
- Short 1993 documentary about the Biollante and Super X2 vehicle concepts
