Help Wanted: GODZILLA 1985 - US Theatrical Version Preservation (* unfinished project *)

I’m in the process of obtaining materials to use for my G85 US theatrical preservation.

For the subtitles missing from the Monsters HD broadcast, I’m utilizing a Roadshow Home Video Aussie rental tape. I will match the font, timing, position, size, etc. of the subtitles and add a slight shake and softness to them so they will be exactly like the theatrical subs. This should be coming in the mail soon.

For the better part of the theatrical audio, I will use the US LD. I’m still looking for this.

The New World logo will have the Godzilla roar over it, as heard in theaters. I saved a YouTube video of this on my hard drive. I might try finding the equivalent roar on a Toho sound effects compilation, as the YouTube video’s quality isn’t perfect

The only other thing I need is a full HD capture of the Monsters HD broadcast. I have both of the widely spread standard definition captures of the broadcast that can be found on the internet, and neither are particularly good. A 720p cap would be sufficient, but 1080i would be perfect.

If you think you can help me in absolutely any way, please, PLEASE PM me.

Forgive my ignorance, but is this tape from the Carlton distribution print?  If so, it's the International English cut, not the U.S. version, so the Russian subtitles will be very different during the "warhead launch" scenes.

I'm using the Roadshow Home Video VHS, not the Carlton. Also, the international version is completely dubbed, with no subtitled Russians anywhere.

I am very interested in seeing this happen.  Any luck on the completion end yet?

Today I will be picking up Godzilla 1985 on VHS from a local store.  It looks to be in awesome shape.

I just got done transferring Godzilla Vs. Megalon (Diamond Entertainment 1990 VHS) and Terror of Mechagodzilla (Simitar 1988 VHS) to DVD and I will do the same once I pick up the 1985 VHS.

Audio dubbing is not my forte so when I get it I'll update this post with which VHS version it is.

Cheers!!!!

JEDIT:

Lost out on the 1985 VHS .... the guy actually came last minute and picked it up.  It had been sitting for almost 2 weeks.  Anyways .... on the search for another one.
