The version was dubbed, and pan-and-scanned, but I was pleasantly shocked to see a Toho film on prime-time, no less, being introduced by Robert Osbourne. His comments were neither pro or con. He wasn't condescending, yet he only offered a couple tid-bits about the history of the movie. Which, in my opinion, is all one can ask for if someone just isn't interested in the film they're watching. I've always taken Osbourne for a very classy gent, so if he's not a fan, I can live with that.
Anyway, did anyone catch it? Oh, and by the way, after seeing The H-Man for the first time in years, I have to say that this is one of Honda's best movies. Very moody and unnerving. The scenes in the nightclub were expertly photographed. However, that had to be one of the slowest car chases I had ever seen!
