Appreciate the share Admin 🙂
FYI, this is J. Peter Robinson’s score for the American release of Godzilla 2000. For some unfathomable reason, the US distributors chose to replace Takayuki Hattori’s score to the film. Hattori’s score is available here both in it’s own GNP Crescendo release and as part of the Godzilla 50th Anniversay Collection Box 5.
Well, in fact it actually contains the original cues from Takayuki Hattori’s original score, only a few cues of this one are actually from J. P. R. – guess the admins should correct that bit of information then (the score here is by BOTH, J. P. R. AND Takayuki Hattori) … Btw, it’s not that unusual for US distributors to butcher and destroy foreign films to make them more “suitable” for american audiences … Happened before with many of the classic Godzilla films, and some of those even got their (often way better) scores replaced by (often inferior) stock music cues – This happened to Godzilla Raids Again; King Kong vs Godzilla; Ghidorah, the Three-Headed Monster and Godzilla 1985 (yet the latter one had actually good cues by Christopher Young to offer at least) …
Leitbild is correct. I should have mentioned that the US score is a mix of Hattori and Robinson. It would have been nice if they had mentioned that on the album cover as well. Re: Ghidorah the Three-Headed Monster – are you certain that score was butchered? I haven’t watched the US version in decades, but I don’t remember the score being replaced in that one.
For both of your informations, the american edit of Godzilla 2000 was actually received better than the original cut to the point even the filmmakers (or at the very least Toho) admitted it was the better version. So much for your “destroy” foreign films.
I mean that’s not the case for every film. Like it goes beyond Godzilla. With Pokémon for example Warner Bros. and 4Kids’ dubs of the first three movies nixed the orchestral Japanese soundtracks as they couldn’t make money off of selling it in America, so replaced them with mediocre scores (except for Tears of Life and The Guardian’s Song, outside that though they’re pretty forgettable) and some of the most ill-fitting vocal songs for the first film, it’s truly bizarre. Does make me wonder if Godzilla 2000’s soundtrack was changed in the TriStar release for similar reasons, though as mentioned it still contains Hattori’s compositions so that wouldn’t track.
