Space Amoeba aka Yog: Monster from Space (1970) - Japanese with Subs English Dub - (2006 Tokyo Shock DVD) in Very Fine condition. This out of print DVD is from my personal collection from a smoke free environment. Space Amoeba is the last non-Godzilla film to be directed by Yoshiro Honda and scored by Akira Ifukube. Shot on location in Guam, the film uses many of the actors featured in Destroy All Monsters. Covering a multitude of token roles are Akira Kubo, Atsuko Takahashi, Yukiko Kobayashi, Kenji Sahara, and Yoshio Tsuchiya. Alien space creatures hitch a ride on an unmanned space probe and head for Earth. Crash landing on an inhabited island, the parasitic forms take over and enlarge three local creatures, a squid (Gezora), a crab (Ganimes) and a snapping turtle (Kamoebas, who made a brief appearance in Godzilla": Tokyo SOS). The parasitic chain-reaction has been set in motion...beware. Photographer Taro Kudo (Akira Kubo) quits his job to search for a Jupiter probe he saw descending over the South Pacific, and is hired by some developers researching a hidden island for a new resort - which happens to be near where the satellite came down. Coming along are Ayako (Atsuko Takahashi) from the developer's office, Dr. Kyoichi Mida (Yoshio Tsuchiya), a biologist, and Makoto Obata (Kenji Sahara), an anthropologist who is really a competing developer in disguise. The island is in chaos after an attack by a giant cuttlefish that the natives call Gezora. It slowly surfaces that an outerspace lifeform brought back by the Jupiter probe has possessed the cuttlefish and made it grow to giant proportions, a process it repeats with a crab and a turtle. But creatures possessed by the space amoeba cannot stand hypersonic sounds emitted by porpoises and bats, which gives the humans an edge -- even though the creature takes over Makoto Obata's body as well! Media Blasters' Tokyo Shock DVD of Space Amoeba is a nigh-perfect enhanced widescreen presentation of this colorful kiddie monster rally. The picture is sharp and clean and the audio track is a showcase for Ifukube's brassy, percussive score. As with all Media Blasters discs, go to Setup first because switching audio and subtitle tracks on the fly can be difficult on some players. Besides removable English subs, the disc offers a choice between mono and 5.1 in both English and Japanese. The English audio version is new, and not the old A.I.P. - Titra dub track. - DVD Savant Allow 3-5 days for shipping Thanks.
