Icons Of Sci-Fi: ToHo Collection: The H-Man / Battle In Outer Space / Mothra (Widescreen)

Last Minute Sales & Specials

Toho, the most famous of all Japanese movie studios, first made its name in the West for the extraordinary masterworks of Akira Kurosawa. But they really struck box office gold with the wildly colorful kaiju eiga (monster movies) that began in 1954 with the original "Godzilla" (Gojira), the creation of director Ishiro Honda and special effects wizard Eiji Tsuburaya. Now for the first time on DVD - and in their original Tohoscope aspect ratios - Sony Pictures presents three Honda classics that display the enormous breadth of the Toho magic during its glory years. "The H-Man", "Battle in Outer Space" and "Mothra" are presented in both their Japanese and U.S. versions. So travel back to the days before CGI, when special effects were real and the results were spectacular.
