Still, I shouldn't be surprised by any of this considering a movie renamed I BOMBED PEARL HARBOR got a theatrical release in the United States.<br /><br />I had never heard of "Commonwealth United Television" prior to this, but it appears to be associated with NTA. Fascinating stuff!C.

I started wondering if more non-kaiju films were dubbed by Toho and came up with a few more examples, including a trailer for WEED OF CRIME (D. Jun Fukuda, 1961. It seems to be part of Toho's "underworld series").<br /><br />http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VrtWDhC3wTo<br /><br />And according to IMDb, a trailer for the Toshiro Mifune vehicle THE LAST GUNFIGHT (1960; another underworld movie) showed up on another Something Weird compilation, though I haven't been as successful in tracking that one down.<br /><br />IMDb *also* claims that WEED OF CRIME was shown on US TV by "Commonwealth United Television", along with Fukuda's THE MERCILESS TRAP (which was recently re-discovered by Sinister Cinema). Whether LAST GUNFIGHT and BOOTED BABE were shown here or not, I don't know.<br /><br />CodyAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2323292824654753446.post-67396257806680379852011-12-09T02:01:07.003-06:002011-12-09T02:01:07.003-06:00Wow, thank you for that!
