U.S. Release

American International Pictures acquired the rights to Great Monster Yongary in 1969, retitled it Yongary, Monster from the Deep, and released it directly to television.[2] The film's English dub was overseen by post-production supervisor Salvatore Billitteri and recorded by Titra Sound Corp., which provided dubbing for many Japanese monster movies at the time. Since then, the rights to the film have changed repeatedly, with Filmways purchasing AIP in 1979, the Orion Picture Corporation merging with Filmways in 1982, and MGM purchasing Orion in 1997.
