There's also audio commentaries from 2011 on "Godzilla" and "Godzilla, King of the Monsters" featuring film historian David Kalat, international English-language dub tracks for six of the films, a Directors Guild of Japan interview with director Ishiro Honda from 1990, a new interview with filmmaker, an interview with critic Tadao Sato from 2011, plenty of new and archival interviews with cast and crew members, new English subtitle translations, a 2011 illustrated audio essay and more.
