I bought a copy of the 2 disc edition of Gojira awhile back. It contains the original Japanese version (titled Gojira) and the very edited US version, Godzilla featuring Raymond Burr in footage that was filmed in the US and re-edited with footage from the original movie.

For anyone who ever watched the US version of Godzilla as a kid, the original Japanese movie is a must see! It is much more than a monster movie and serves as an allegory for the fear left in the hearts of the Japanese following Hiroshima and Nagasaki. It is a very well made film with some truly emotinal moments. And there is a more footage of Godzilla trampling Tokyo than in the US version!
