Talk:Gamera vs. Viras/@comment-24277243-20160526012558

There's a very noticeable flub in this movie's English dub (ha ha, rhymes).

During the Japanese version of the opening scene where Gamera destroys the giant-bumblebee-butt spaceship, the yellow atom-thing says "There is a monster protecting the earth!  Its name is-", and is cut off before the spaceship explodes (in space, where oxygen doesn't exist so neither can fire), segwaying into the title sequence, showing Gamera's name before zooming out to reveal that it's apart of ''Gamera vs. Space Monster Viras''. It's an awesome way to start the movie, even if a giant plothole is created by having the aliens already know Gamera's name despite having never heard of him before.

The line is kept intact in the English dub, but the effect is ruined by the fact that the movie's title is different. Gamera's name is replaced with Destroy All Planets, the name of the movie's american release, which unintentionally implies that Gamera's name is "Destroy All Planets". What an incompetent choice on the localizer's part.
