I'm in the middle of the Japanese version of "H-Man" right now and I've got to say the video presentation is honestly rather underwhelming. There's a distracting flicker in darker parts of the picture, most prominently the suits worn by the detectives, and darker scenes are dominated by it. Maybe it's just my TV or something, but the screencaps in the Sci-Fi Japan article look a lot better than the movie itself when playing. Still, it's nice to have an official release of fairly decent quality here in the States, especially when both versions are offered.
And I might as well give my two cents on Steve and Ed's dropping the ball on the "Mothra" commentary. While I very much respect both of them and generally enjoy the information they provide, sometimes they honestly reach far beyond what's actually presented (and in this case in the opposite direction) to find some sort of social implication or metaphor that simply is not there. :-\ I do find both commentaries to be generally informative and enjoyable, but that was a bit disappointing.

Sony sent me a handful of video clips from THE H-MAN, BATTLE IN OUTER SPACE, and MOTHRA. The videos are now on SciFi Japan:

So Keith, could you tell us what you know about Toho's interest in:
- Godzilla Vs Megalon (R1)
- Godzilla 1985
- Godzilla Vs Biollante
And Sony/Classic Media's interest in:
- Godzilla Vs King Ghidorah
- Godzilla Vs Mothra
- Godzilla Vs MechaGodzilla II
- Godzilla Vs SpaceGodzilla
- Godzilla Vs Destroyah
In remastered, widescreen, anamorphic versions? Add the Japanese versions with Subtitles, and you have a perfect 5-Pack.

ryuuseipro, you are correct. I've seen it in print a couple of times as Farps and it sticks in my head that way for some reason. Thanks for the correction! But what's a Markalite?
