Frankenstein CTW Question

[Tom R VanSlambrouck]

Did Frankenstein have an International dubb track? The reason I ask is because assuming we get a dual language DVD out sometime I was wondering if they'd be able to use the AIP dub like on the print shown on AMC last night or if we'd get a Int. Dubb.

If so how is the International dubb compared to the one I mentioned above?

As far as I know, it doesn't have an international dub.

Since Henry Saperstein was involved while the movie was in preproduction, there was no need for Toho to make their own dub. Like GODZILLA VS. THE THING, and GHIDRAH THE THREE HEADED MONSTER.

WAR OF THE GARGANTUAS has an international dub though.

Whoever releases FCTW on DVD will have to either include both versions of it, or edit the English dub so it will fit to the Japanese cut. I'm not sure what the exact differences are in the two versions (haven't gotten around to comparing them yet).

The UPA video transfer that dates back to the 80's (which is what AMC shows) is actually further altered from the original US version... any scenes with text that didn't fit into the pan and scan format were simply cut out!


Off the top of my head...


-The US version removes the sequence of Bowen & Togami visiting the graves of the one of their patient's family.

-There's more footage of the boy throwing around cars in the US version

-you can hear strains of the KKvsG octopus music (used in the unused "devil fish" fight) in the finale of the US version under the normal music.

Hey! Frankenstein CTW was on AMC in the middle of the night last night.

I have to say, this is the best Monsterfest in ages, 5 kaiju movies and some real monsters classics (some I haven't seen!). Problem is all the good stuff is either when you're asleep or when you're at work/classes/school, with their usual AMC horror-crap on all the good times!!!

Well, we all know how to program our VCRs.

I suppose their isn't a chance that CM gave AMC nice, widescreen versions of Godzilla's Revenge and Terror of Mechagodzilla eh?

AMC still sucks, the line up is certainly an improvement over the last few years... but they'll never be as good as they used to be.

There are a few titles I'll be watching/recording though, I want to see 'Island of the Burning Doomed', 'Frankenstein Meets the Wolfman', and 'House of Frankenstein'.
