Hey,
I was trying to add a video link to the three Godzilla films that Cinema Shares re-released as a triple feature I tried posting this video from Space Hunter M's YouTube Channel, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zVBZTF4EJtc
When I tried adding to Gigan and was going to repost it again to Megalon and then another time to Mechagodzilla, but when I got to the first of three it showed up as just a URL link and I couldn't find a way to fix it.
Any help appreciated.
The TV spot doesn't mention the year, so it would be better to find another source. I'll put the video on the page though.
I used know of some site I found a long time ago, that had a black and white lobby card with a still shot of Godzilla to the left side and next to it said on the right side something like.
"Come see Godzilla Triple Feature at your local drive in
Godzilla on Monster Island
and
Godzilla vs. Megalon
also
Godzilla vs. the Cosmic Monster"
And I think it probably listed Cinema Shares and Toho on it. It seems like the year was close to either 1977 or 1978. Another Youtuber, uploaded a textless version of the tv spot and said it was 1978.

So, I thought that was probably the best bet since Godzilla vs. Megalon was shown in US theatres throughout 1976, and in 1977 they showed Godzilla vs. the Cosmic Monster and then Godzilla on Monster Island in the theatres later that year. That was I think about the only other time the films were shown out of order the first being Monster Zero after Sea Monster, Son and DAM.
Sadly I can't find that site or anything close it, I tried looking, but the closest I could find was this thread on Blu-Ray.org, where a user, "Wolfschimt" mentioned seeing it. https://forum.blu-ray.com/showthread.php?p=17053991
Also, I'm pretty sure that the lobby card list showing them in the Japanese release order, though the TV Spot has Megalon and Cosmic Monster swapped.
Newspaper archives would be the way to go for this, then. You can find a list of free ones here, or do a Newspapers.com free trial.
