The print that I saw -- four times -- the first time in 1976, and then again in 1979, had the Japanese title card, but the subtitles said "Catastrophe: 1999"... I saw the film at the now-defunct Kokusai Theater in San Francisco's Japantown. I also saw the uncut Japanese version of SUBMERSION OF JAPAN there in 1975/76, as well as other odds and ends like WATARI: THE NINJA BOY, LAKE OF DRACULA and EVIL OF DRACULA.

UPA's version, THE LAST DAYS OF PLANET EARTH, was never shown in theaters, since their version was mastered on video tape, not on film.

I would agree but isn't the International Print extremely hard to track down. I thought it was only released to video in Greece (?) and is OOP. I would love to see it for the fact that in your g-fan article you mention how you like the narrartor that is in the international dub. I also figure that its a lot better for providing an outline of the story.[/quote]


Actually, the English-language International version of PROPHECIES OF NOSTRADAMUS was issued on video in Denmark on the Palladium video label. The copies that have been floating around the collectors circuit have Danish subtitles, which look a heck of a lot different than Greek.
