Always loved this film, even if the original dub did leave me slightly brain addled. And just a minor correction of the Dog That Is Q, Streamline Pictures was a competing distro of Manga’s in the late 80s, early 90s, so I don’t think it was a trailer they used. Saddens me each time I remember that Orion, who’d bought Streamline, was dipping their toe into the anime genre right before they’d went bankrupt. Wonder what sci-fi titles they’d have brought over had they continued . . .
