In 1985, the iconic Japanese monster Godzilla returned to the big screen in an American version titled "Godzilla 1985" which was a re-edited version of the 1984 Japanese film "The Return of Godzilla."

But the production of Godzilla 1985 was plagued with problems, that also led to a bizarre marketing campaign involving Dr. Pepper soda.

In this video, we explore the strange history of "Godzilla 1985", from its troubled production to its almost-lost status in the years following its release.

We'll also take a closer look at the odd partnership between the New World and Dr. Pepper, which included a unique promotion that saw the soda company release a limited edition can featuring Godzilla himself and an amazing music video. Join us as we delve into the bizarre failure of "Godzilla 1985" and discover the strange story behind this cult classic.
