I’m sorry, I do not mean to bother the Wikizilla staff, but I have one question: where did this widescreen Godzilla vs. Megalon US title come from? I’ve checked everywhere, but can’t find a widescreen copy of the US version!

Well, first of all, I'm not staff.

Almost none of the video transfers of the U.S. Godzilla vs. Megalon unsqueeze the opening titles -- the one exception that I know of is the Alpha Video transfer, released on VHS and DVD. https://www.tohokingdom.com/dvd/images/gmegalon_alpha/gm_a2.htm

So, this is a screenshot from the 1997 Anchor Bay VHS, then stretched back to its original dimensions in Photoshop, using the unsqueezed Alpha Video transfer as a guide.

Well, I don’t mean to bother anyone on WIlizilla, staff or not. So it’s a reconstruction?

Not a reconstruction, i.e. nothing's been recreated. It's a frame from the film restored as closely to its original dimensions as possible.

huh.

Sorry if my last message was a little too sarcastic, I’m still a bit bitter about the Widescreen Monster Island Title being removed.
