 Not released in the USA until 1985, to home video and television, by  Sandy Frank (I) (qv) under the title GAMERA. To that day, the only way to  (partially) see it was the movie _Gammera the Invincible (1966)_ (qv), which  used the special effects footage from the original Japanese film but most  scenes involving human actors were replaced by new ones featuring an American  cast. The Frank version, one of his usual dubbing jobs, was the whole  original Japanese footage except for the opening credits sequence, replaced  by English translated credits superimposed over an image of moving  oceanwater. Another difference is that in the Frank dub the names of some  characters are Americanized (i.e. Toschio is renamed Kenny).
