First

Hello from Italy! The funny thing about the pseudonym “Vincent Dawn” is its origin. Bruno Mattei liked Vincent Price and the 1978 “Dawn of the Dead” so much that he united those two things into one name. (Sorry for the mistakes, I usually never comment on KZbin 😅).

[@Rusty126]

Neat!

2 days ago, are you a time traveler 0.o

3:34 Oh, it gets better. Or worse. The title translates to "Godzilla - The Dragon from the Jungle". This is one of many titles "Gamera vs. Barugon" has had over the years in Germany. In the dub, Barugon is renamed Godzilla, just to cash in on the name recognition. And what about Gamera, you ask? Well....Gamera was renamed, too. To Barugon. I am NOT making this up. XD

[@agentepolaris4914]

I cant understand why the european distributors didnt simply used their real names LOL

[@Nergalsama01]

@@agentepolaris4914 Using Godzilla's name probably was a name recognition thing, trying to cash in on it, even though it's a total lie. It's a common theme for genre movies back in the day. Back in the 70s, nobody here knew about Gamera, after all.

[@Fluffy_the_Destroyer]

​@@Nergalsama01 That being the case, why not just rename Gamera? Or keep his name the same? Why swap it around like you're localizing Street Fighter 2?

3:33 thats a classic example of the title confusion that was and sometimes still is going on here (Germany). Title Translates to: Godzilla the Dragon from the Jungle. Its Daikaijû kettô: Gamera tai Barugon (Gamera vs. Barugon). But it gets even better with the other alternate Titles it had here: Dragonwars - Krieg der Monster (Dragonwars - War of the Monsters) Panik! Dinosaurier bedrohen die Welt - (Panic! Dinosaurs threaten the World) Godzilla, Monster des Grauens (Godzilla, Monster of Dread) Gamera gegen Godzilla (Gamera vs Godzilla) Gamera gegen Barugon - Frankensteins Drache aus dem Dschungel (Gamera vs. Barugon - Frankensteins Dragon from the Jungle)

Really surprised that Video was one of the last two survivors. Taurus got it the worst though with all the rats bursting out of his chest. Also, the humanoid rats were the ones who planted all that food, booze, and "sugar" in that one location. Along with the comfy beds, in order to lure in any human survivors. An outside standing structure like that one is bound to be seen by any survivors looking for a safe shelter. Great place for a trap. Have your food come to you. You then have to clear out all the smaller rats. But small price to pay for a hearty, living, meal.

[@j.h-j5j]

So in this movie, humans are an endangered species. So these rat humanoids planted these "baits" in order to capture them. So they could study and experiment on.
