ULTRA-THREAD

[DaiKamonohashi]

The fight between the Ultra brothers and the monster army was cut from the final film. Parts of it can be seen in the latest episode of Ultraman Retsuden and hopefully it'll be included on the inevitable Blu Ray release.

Awwwww..........


EDIT: Okay, I need some help here. I just watched episode 37 of Ultraman Tiga - 'Flowers' - and my head was left in a spin. Am I missing some Japanese mythology or something like that, or is it just a weird episode?

[Destroyer]

Well I just ran into Gomora. Finally, someone who actually defeated Ultraman, great monster. Antlar is still the best though.

Can't wait for Zetton! His design is pretty awesome-looking.

It's just a weird episode. You can expect that from Akio Jissoji.

[Destroyer]

Is there anywhere where I could see the fight between Antlar and Gomora? Not on YouTube sadly.

[Rody]

It used to be up on Dailymotion; you could always check there again.

EDIT: I just checked myself; it's not there. Sorry.

Wait... that's the part they decided to cut??? So all of those kaiju that are in the shots above don't actually appear? That's just skreeonk stupid. Talk about a letdown...

[DaiKamonohashi]

Some of the scene was shown in the latest episode of Ultraman Retsuden, seen here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_rJHCGFBnqc

Hopefully we'll get a director's cut.

Thanks for that. Man, that Black King suit is a nice update. This movie seems to be getting negative reviews. That's unfortunate as the previews, monster designs/suits, and sets looked great.

[Rody]

Those were pretty cool scenes; but those kaiju were defeated way too easily.

^Pretty much what I have to say. Black King, Antlar and Tyrant have been overly pussified. Can't say I'm surprised with the bad reviews though.

[HikizuruBeat]

I saw the preview a week ago and I really liked it a lot.
I hope subs come out for it soon.

This movie [Ultraman Saga] seems to be getting negative reviews. That's unfortunate as the previews, monster designs/suits, and sets looked great.

Really? Any source(s)...? I really hope that's not true for I urgently need ULTRA-ACT figures of Ultraman Saga, Hyper Zetton and Tyrant and there's a good chance that BANDAI will never consider (or cancel) them - just like they did with all the Godzilla Final Wars Kaiju vinyls, which were announced back the day, but then never saw the light of day due to the movie receiving bad reviews! It'd be a real shame if this happens again to the Ultraman Saga movie...

[Legion1979]

If we were getting more movie-related stuff for Saga wouldn't we know by now?

[RedZillaKing]

Not necessarily. Bandai may be waiting to see if the film does well. Remember how long it took for the Zero Force to be announced...

Pete, my sole source was a blurb from JEFusion. Something about opening at 4th amidst negative feedback.

Here's one, he makes it sound like an overly kiddish take on Ultraman with quite a bit of stupid humor.

That is just James's opinion, and it seems to be in the minority.

Dont take his word as gospel or anything like that. I say wait until you see the movie yourself before anything else.

[RedZillaKing]

I really hope so. Must. Have. HYPER ZETTON ULTRA ACT!!!

Considering Bandai's Ultraman Saga and Hyper Zetton action figures sold like crazy, I would be very surprised if HZ or Saga don't get Ultra Act figures. So far Ultraman Saga has been doing fairly well box office wise, it made 340 million yen in the first 9 days. I think its already made the same amount of money Revenge of Belial did or at least its around there. Then there's also foreign countries like China that play these films as well, so it might make as much money as UGL did or maybe even Super Ultra 8 Bros.

We don't know if that's the entire scene though. Those bits were taken from the first and last parts of the Retsuden episode - there could easily be more to the battle that wasn't shown.
