Godzilla Raids Again (1955)

 Company: Video Treasures, Inc. (1989)
 Country: United States
 Category: Slip Cover

The front features an unusual artist's conception of one of the most famous publicity stills from this film., The description on the back is a nice short summary of the film, although the ongoing confusion of what each species is actually called continues as Anguirus (here called "Angilas") is referred to as an "Angilosaulus". This print is rare as it actually features the "Gigantis" title card.

Godzilla Raids Again (1955)

 Company: Westcoast Motion Pictures (Year Unlisted)
 Country: Chile
 Category: Clam Shell

Westcoast's cover for Godzilla Raids Again (1955) features artwork that was used in some US releases of the film; with a drawing of Heisei Godzilla's head (Trendmasters-style) added in the corners. For some reason, the synopsis contains spoilers (such as Anguirus' death) and states that Anguirus had attacked Japan before. There is also a poster for Godzilla (1954) being used as a kind of extra (quite inappropriately too). The running time listed is 82 minutes, yet the featured film happens to be the US version of film, which runs under 78 minutes. A US trailer for King Kong vs. Godzilla (1962) (also released by Westcoast) is shown before the film begins; a nice gesture from the company (and possibly the only redeeming factor of this release, which even has spelling mistakes in the subtitles).
