Japan Synopsis
ギララの逆襲 洞爺湖サミット危機一発
When heads of state gather at the G8 summit in Japan, Guilala — the intergalactic monster that had been banished from the earth in The X from Outer Space — returns to ravage the Japanese countryside and threaten the world leaders. Military strikes prove futile against the beast, but a reporter learns that one rural community possesses a strange ritual that might influence the creature. Minoru Kawasaki directs this campy satire.
