Star Godzilla is an unproduced and unlicensed 1980 Godzilla film.
History
Star Godzilla was to be a "Star Godzilla production" released by Hong Kong's First Distributors (H.K.) Ltd. It was announced with a poster ad in the May 7, 1980 issue of Variety, citing Futien Hsu as director, Joy Hsu as producer, Chris Lee as screenwriter, and a cast consisting of Joey Fang, Chang Ching, and Charles Woo.[1] Although nothing is known about the proposed plot, the ad art depicts Godzilla, King Kong, and Anguirus amidst a burning city, surrounded by UFOs and various military vehicles. It is believed that threat of legal action from Toho put an end to the project.[2]
Trivia
- King Kong appears in the ad courtesy of art lifted from the advertising campaign for Dino De Laurentiis' King Kong.
- Star Godzilla was "reviewed" by Stomp Tokyo Video Reviews' Scott Hamilton and Chris Holland on April 1, 1998 as an April Fool's Day prank.[3] Screenshots from One Crazy Summer and a doctored screenshot from Infra-Man were used to represent the film.
