Editing Godzilla vs. Megalon (section)

===Home media===
The film was released numerous times in the [[VHS]] format, mostly as videos from bargain basement studios that featured the edited TV version (which was wrongly assumed to be in the [[public domain]] for many years), while PolyGram and 4 Front released the unedited version of the film in 1992 and 1998, respectively. Some rumors have circulated that the film's original VHS releases in the States were uncut, but there is no evidence confirming or denying this. &nbsp;

[[Media Blasters]] acquired the [[DVD]] rights to both ''Godzilla vs. Megalon'' and ''[[Destroy All Monsters]]''. Both films were released under one of the company's divisions, [[Tokyo Shock]]. Media Blasters originally planned to release ''Godzilla vs. Megalon'' on DVD and [[Blu-ray]] on December 20, 2011; however, because of technical difficulties with the dubbing and Toho having yet to give its approval for the release, the DVD/Blu-ray release was delayed.<ref>{{Cite web |url=http://famousmonstersoffilmland.com/2012/01/19/godzilla-vs-megalon-bludvd-release-delayed/ |title=Famous Monsters of Filmland: ""GODZILLA VS MEGALON" Blu/DVD Release Delayed", January 19, 2012. |access-date=January 20, 2012 |archive-date=January 23, 2012 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120123063222/http://famousmonstersoffilmland.com/2012/01/19/godzilla-vs-megalon-bludvd-release-delayed/ |url-status=dead }}</ref> Media Blasters finally released the film on August 14, 2012, but only on a bare-bones DVD and Blu-ray.
