"I think you misunderstood what I was saying. I wasn't questioning the fact that Toho's original international title card read "Godzilla vs. MechaGodzilla.""

My mistake then, sorry!

"I was talking about how, kind of like in the case of Son of Godzilla, the title card is a replica of the original international title, only with the ® symbols added."

I understand what you're saying here, but you're wrong. It's not a recreation of the title. A better example than Son of Godzilla would be Godzilla vs. Hedorah: that TriStar DVD uses the original international title (not a replica) but adds the obnoxious trademark symbols. The same is true for Mechagodzilla. In motion it's clear that the title card moves slightly through gate weave (as any piece of film would), while the trademark symbols remain stationary, as they were digitally added to the original filmic sequence. (In the case of Son of Godzilla, I think someone at Sony took the original international logo and recomposited the elements: the textless footage of Godzilla and the title text. I don't believe that's the case with Mechagodzilla.)

If you want to use a screenshot sans trademark symbols for the gallery, I recommend the one from the Power Multimedia disc.
