Don't you want the titles for the entire story line so you can put them in later? And what's wrong with "awakened"?

The King of the Monsters (talkcontribs)

Will you please stop confronting me over every single time I revert your edits? It is exhausting enough having to comb through every single edit you make, only to have to deal with you angrily posting on my wall afterward. If you must do so it is easier to just keep it contained to one thread than to make several consecutive individual ones. Your edits often consist of arbitrary or unverified changes that you apply to dozens of pages at once, and it is often easier to revert them entirely than to systematically go through and adjust everything. Editing my and other users' sandboxes is also not very helpful, as they are under construction and the final format of the page is not yet determined.

I have continued to ask you to take these factors into consideration, and you continue to behave the same way. Please, I am asking you to just slow down the edits and ease up on the attitude. This is getting very old and exhausting.

No, no, no, you've got it all wrong; I'm trying to help me on your sandbox. You let me put on Konga's DVDs, so how is this any different from that?

And everyone knows that Gappa was released in UK theaters as Gappa, the Triphibian Monster. Why remove that one? Even Donald F. Glut mentions this fact in his book The Dinosaur scrapbook (I don't remember which page it was mentioned on. though).

We need a citation for Gappa being released in the UK, as I cannot find any mention of it or even a poster.

Some edits to sandboxes are fine, but ones that don't really add information and just alter the formatting when it isn't even fully decided are not very helpful and I remove them until later.

Well, I got it off of IMDb, and I don't think they'd make a mistake on that one. Let me see if I can find a poster for that one, though. I actually remember seeing it in black and white in a paperback monster movie book (I'd know it if I saw it, but I can't remember the title of it off the top of my head) and I know the tagline on the top of it said "Even Mightier than "KING KONG"!" Does anyone out there know the book I'm talking about here? That would sure help.

The BBFC record uses only "Gappa" as its title.

IIRC, "Gappa" is also the on-screen title of at least one UK pre-cert tape. (It's just the title from Nikkatsu's export version.) But I can't guarantee my memory of that is correct, and that doesn't necessarily mean the VHS was derived from the UK cinema release.

My recommendation is to use "Gappa" as the UK title here. "The Triphibian Monster" is little more than an additional subtitle in the advertisements for the export version, and I wouldn't be surprised if it was the same in this instance.

I just found the poster I mentioned on IMDb first time out! It's the last photo in the Photos section of their article on the film. I'd know it anywhere! In fact, ABB, the same poster is in the article you linked me to. btw, could you please link me up to Parts 1 and 2 of that article, if you don't mind? Maybe also switch all four parts to my talk page? I wouldn't want to impose on this one.

Astounding Beyond Belief (talkcontribs)

It's actually a five-part series, all on the same site; just click the Home button and scroll down.

Okay, H-Man, I've put in Gappa as the UK title in the article "Gappa (film)". Hope this helps.
