A recent showing of Gamera 2: Attack of the Legion (1996) at G-FEST 2014 in Rosemont, IL proved that while Americanized dubbing may occasionally miss the mark, it can often produce truly hilarious results. (Especially, if like me, your sense of humor hasn’t regressed much beyond the 5th grade!)
This tale of everyone’s favorite avenging turtle facing down sprawling tentacle creatures, that just happen to be waging mass destruction for a huge alien invader, featured such comical readings as:
“The second it flowered, we were completely helpless!”
“We cannot afford another Sendai!”
“He’s going straight for the Big One!”
“Gamera is alive. He will come back for us. Gamera will not let the Legion win!”
“I don’t have time to argue with you! Give me every ounce of your power!”
“The Big One is right on top of us”
“The Big One has something new up its sleeve!”
“It’s the Big One! He made it past the last barricade!”
Still hurting from that last one… and with hopes that you brought your own double entendres (because mine are all used up), Big Gay Horror Fan!

Damn it. Now I’m downright jealous. The last kaiju con around here was in the early 90s.
