TCM's Night Dedicated to Ishiro Honda

[Superrex]

Japanese cut of Rodan...didn't see that coming.

[Blackout286]

The original Japanese Rodan?! O.o Does anyone think they will do the same for Mothra?

[The Dark Uniter]

I think I went to kaiju heaven, I'm still in awe that they're showing Rodan in Japanese, last time, it was in English! Not only this marks the first time they've Godzilla in Japanese on TV but now Rodan!

[Blackout286]

I think most will be satisfied that it isn't the "Ghastly yellow" version, although I think that only relates to the American version.

[Manda2012]

Oh my god, they're showing Rodan in Japanese!!!

Yeah, it's better that way.

Whoever is writing Osbourne's dialogues for these movies should be fired! He said the killer bugs from the mine TURN INTO the Rodans!!!

What's that? What is this "ghastly yellow version" of Rodan that your talking about? Does it look that bad compared to the one shown currently right now?

The U.S. print looks really bad, really bad discoloring throughout, the Japanese print that's playing now is so far the best looking version of Rodan.

[DagarahX]

I did not know that, well, since its my first time seeing this then I'm glad that TCM managed to grab a much better presentable version. And since its the Japanese version, then surely it'll be able to run as smoothly as Gojira with no edits or cuts.

That's cuz' this is the re-mastered Classic Media print from the Toho vaults.

I love the fact I am able to hear this on TV: http://youtu.be/yJghA5ixzpM

Yeah, watching these movies in their Original Japanese versions for the first time on TV remindes me of why I hate the American versions for screwing with the music/footage/Sound Effects.

[JAGzilla]

Japanese Rodan, huh? Cool. Kinda wish I'd watched that, now. I have the US version on DVD, but haven't seen the Japanese one yet. Oh, well. Hopefully they'll give Mothra the same treatment, though I'll be happy either way. Haven't seen the movie at all since '05-ish, and only payed attention to the monster scenes back then. Only eight minutes to go...

Yes! I know that feel.

Also, this will be my first time watching Mothra, The H-Man, and Hausu. I love TCM!

[Superrex]

So Mothra's in Japanese too. Not the biggest surprise, but still cool nonetheless.

[The Dark Uniter]

Mothra's in Japanese! So awesome!

[DagarahX]

Good lord....These business men are bigger dicks than the ones in Mothra vs. Godzilla.

[The Dark Uniter]

Maybe it's me but the subs for Mothra look like a mix between dubtitles and the translations on the Sony set, for example, they call Zen a bulldog in the airing whereas the ones for the DVD call him a snapping turtle.

[Shazam14]

The music in Mothra is beautiful...

[DagarahX]

I think bulldog is more fitting for Zen than a snapping turtle lol. Thus far I am really enjoying the film, the human characters are surprisingly captivating. Well, most of them.

[Manda2012]

Is Rosilicia supposed to be a ficticious version of the US? I wouldn't think so, except for the whole 'New Kirk City' thing.
