Monsterdon had a milkshake duck experience with director Luigi Cozzi last night.
Beloved director of Hercules and Starcrash also made an edited version of Godzilla 1954 in which he inserted footage of *actual* dead bodies. WTF!
Reposting for anyone who missed it.

From https://rivetsontheposter.wordpress.com/2020/12/01/cozzilla-1977/
“What is truly disturbing about all this is that we see footage of a very real man burned to death by a flamethrower, of lots of badly burned bodies, and others which have their bones showing.”
From wikipedia.org/wiki/Godzilla,_King_of_the_Monsters!
The decision by Cozzi to specifically add real footage of death and destruction from war-time film reels was intentional. He wanted to give such an old feature an "up-to-date and more violent look".
