Just got through watching this nutty 60's international film starring Sonny Chiba as a news reporter who has to stop a Dr. Evil type from turning humanity into fishmen cyborgs! The fish-men really...

Re: Terror Beneath the Sea (1966)

This is one film that I not only haven't seen in a long time, but haven't bothered to catch the Japanese version. The film is chock-full of gaijin actors from the US, Turkey, Germany, etc. Many of...

Just watched this, and I won't be able to get the music out of my head for the rest of my life because the same few cues are repeated endlessly throughout most of the picture. It is as goofy as any...

Re: Terror Beneath the Sea (1966)

Just an FYI, but there are a number of films, such as TERROR BENEATH THE SEA and THE X FROM OUTER SPACE, which were made ostensibly for children and not intended as adults fare. It's the number of...

A pity that the DVD of this has the top and bottom of the screen chopped off. I'm holding on to my ancient VHS because of that aspect ratio eff-up.

For years, the only Peggy Neal film I'd ever seen was THE X FROM OUTER SPACE (which turned up one afternoon on a local Shock Theater broadcast in the Seventies)...wish that would get a DVD release....

Re: Terror Beneath the Sea (1966)

I think the biggest problem with the film (besides the awful creature make-up) is that so little happens during the film. You could probably write a treatment describing the plot in about two...

Funny you mention VOYAGE, David, as I kept thinking of that show frequently while watching TERROR BENEATH THE SEA.

Some sources indicate a running time of 85/87 minutes for the Japanese version; the U.S. version runs 79 minutes. A Japanese newspaper article about the making of the film (originally dated June 2,...

That was a priceless article that Greg reprinted in JFFJ, indeed. (BTW, Sophia University is a Jesuit school in Tokyo.)

Pure mindless fun with a hottie in the picture. What else could a boy want?

Having just rewatched this, I think the most likely areas where the two version differ is with the submarine captain scenes. For the most part, you could replace the scenes of the American military...

Re: Terror Beneath the Sea (1966)

I watched it recently for the first time and I had to wonder if sequences happened out of order in the film for example - when they go to search for our two leads in the sub, they end up at the...

We just watched this for our Turkey Tuesday chat. It was hysterical!

This movie has maybe THE FUNNIEST dubbing I have ever heard. The general character who screams all of his lines is the best. The only movies with dubbing comparably hilarious are Gappa, Samson VS. the...
