The best translation error... err, "oversight" is literally translating the Japanese titles instead of offering the official English titles. I loved being reminded that The Mysterians is actually "Earth Defense Force" !

^ There are two instances in Kameba's 2003 entry on page 161 in which they should have used direct translations of the Japanese movie titles, because the ones they used instead messed up the context of the translated sentences!

"Kamoebas appears in “Godzilla: Tokyo S.O.S.” (2003) as the fourth monster without a name in the title."

"“Yog, The Monster From Space” (1970), as the title suggests, features Gezora and Ganimes in addition to Kamoebas."
