Toho Unused Special Effects Complete Collection
|
Toho Unused Special Effects Complete Collection is a 1986 documentary directed by Koichi Kawakita and released to VHS by Toho. It features deleted scenes and bloopers from the company's science fiction and war films, primarily those whose special effects were directed by Eiji Tsuburaya, as well as interviews with key staff members. Apart from clips posted to YouTube, it remained largely unknown to the English-speaking kaiju fandom until 2019, when it was included as a bonus feature on The Criterion Collection's Godzilla: The Showa-Era Films, 1954–1975 Blu-ray box set.
