The X from Outer Space (宇宙大怪獣ギララ Uchū Daikaijū Girara, lit. Giant Space Monster Guilala) is a 1967 Japanese science fiction kaiju film. The film was directed by Kazui Nihonmatsu and starred Eiji Okada and Toshiya Wazaki.
Dubbing History[]
The X from Outer Space received two different dubs. The first dub was produced on commission from Shochiku, postulated to be dubbed by Pedro Production Ltd. The film features similar voice acting to the companies other known dubbing ventures; with actor Mike Daneen seemingly dubbing over himself.[1]
American International Pictures, either finding the International Dub of poor quality or not being supplied with a dub, produced its own dub which was dubbed in Italy. The film was never released theatrically in the United States, and was released directly to television. This dub has only been released on VHS in 1989 by Orion Pictures.
