There actually is a reason why Godzilla vs Megalon was so common. It was wrongly believed to be in the public domain for a long time. Which led to all sorts of shit like this. In fact, back when Rhino had the rights to distribute Mystery Science Theater 3000. They got in hot water with Toho for releasing the Godzilla vs Megalon episode.

The U.S. versions of "Godzilla on Monster Island", "Godzilla vs. Megalon", and "Godzilla vs. the Cosmic Monster" are in public domain. However, Godzilla and Megalon, registered trademarks of Toho, are, of course, not. Toho owns the rights to the Japanese and international versions, but not the U.S. versions. If you had an original U.S. version print of these three movies, you could show it, but you could not use Toho's trademarked characters in the advertising. Toho might try to come after you, but you'd beat them in a court of law. Using the name of Toho characters is what got Rhino in trouble. If they had called it by some other title, Toho couldn't have legally done anything to them.

But what the store did with some of the videos is cut the front, back, and one side of the VHS covers so they could be put in thick plastic covers (kind of like what Blockbuster did with their movies).

Actually love this idea! The art of movie and book covers have been lost in the ruins of the 1980s due to the dark terror of reaganomics. All book covers are now simply black squiggly lines over a soothing color and movie posters and covers are simply the cast looking either at the camera or off in the distance. Next one should be Godzilla vs Gigan.

I have the Front Row Entertainment cover, which squeezes tinier versions of all three other monsters around an extra giant Godzilla in the same shot. You can justify it for flying Jet Jaguar, Megalon and Gigan not so much, let alone the scale of the buildings which actually implies Godzilla is the odd one out. Otherwise the screenshot blending is fairly creative and depicts the monsters accurately, save for some green colorization added to Godzilla. Maybe a solid B or B+ Also, thank you, because of this video I realized I have the StarMaker covers for both GTTHM and vs. Mechagodzilla, and I just lined the sides up next to each other for the first time in the ~20 years I've had them without ever knowing they could do that.

"Godzilla vs. Megalon" does feature Godzilla unknowingly fighting for the continued proliferation of atomic testing. Fukuda did write a line in the script (which made it into the manga adaptation) where Goro mentioned that it was ironic that Godzilla was born from atomic tests and fought off a threat that wanted them to stop. Another scripted but unused scene had Emperor Antonio stop and ponder if he was no better than those that had destroyed his country with atomic tests by sending Megalon to the surface.
