Wissenswertes
The original version ran 143 minutes and was regarded as a "disaster film with brains," generally credited to the work of the two noted writers, Sakyo Komatsu and Shinobu Hashimoto. In the United States, Roger Corman's New World Pictures added insert shots featuring Lorne Greene and Rhonda Hopkins. Even with the added insert shots, this English dubbed version was cut down to only 82 minutes. This U.S. version concentrated on the action and special effects and removed those plot elements that were regarded as making the original version superior to many of the films in the then popular disaster genre. This U.S. version, re-titled "Tidal Wave" (1975), had a very poor reception in the United States.

Alternative Versionen
Released in 2 versions simultaneously in 1975 in US, 1 cut and dubbed, the other uncut and subtitled.

35 years later this film make his point.

Back in 1973, I have the opportunity to see this film in a lush big screen and back them that was an impressive show. Of course, anyone that has grown up in today's computer animated hyper realistic effects will dissect the movie mercilessly. In the other hand, we have here a film that depicts an event that 35 years later will make a good docudrama in the Discovery Channel. This drama described with precision a nation loosing his homeland to a great cataclysm that literally erase Japan out of the map, dispersing the surviving population around the globe separating families and friends to eventually live at the mercy of surrogate countries. I will love to see this film made again with today's f/x technology. Japanese filmmakers have matured well enough to create one the most shocking films ever.
