English-language text from Toho International's "Zero Pilot" (1976). The Toho logo through the main title comes from the 1983 NTSC Combat Video VHS (my copy is in awful shape, as you can see). Combat's telecine center-crops most of the end credits, so I instead used the PAL Standard Video (Dutch) VHS for those in this video.
Unlike the Standard VHS, however, the Combat tape ends with the spliced-in Japanese 終 and a printed-in subtitle. I'm not sure why that's the case, but I included it here all the same.
"Zero Pilot" is the rare export version of a Toho flick with alternate footage. I've uploaded both Japanese and export sets of the footage in this video: youtu.be/7ECwIg-3kpc
Meanwhile, here's the English export trailer: youtu.be/GuqB8_lDAbE
And the Japanese trailer, for good measure: youtu.be/1nk564qtzL0
