I had to rewind the portion where you go get the vampire cape 3 times to make sure that the musical interlude was in fact "Duck Tales" and my ears weren't deceiving me, and I properly laughed out loud.😂 This is what makes you one in a million on RUclips. Please never change. Never, ever change. 😂
I first saw the Mysterians when I was -- what? ten years old at the local Matinee -- which would now be around 57 years ago -- in all of its wide-screen 35mm glory and it was fantastic -- the village collapsing into the earth, Mogera crashing through the hillside -- "Everyone cross the bridge, this is our line of defense!" It's all permanently impressed on my brain from that time -- it really is the stuff that movies were made for.
It's one of those movies that you should, A) Watch on a big screen and B) Watch when you're ten years old.
You got it right. The Mysterians was my very scifi-move. As I was just 7, my dad took myself and a friend to the show. The two boys were astounded by everything on the big screen. It stuck with me right up to my current age of 74. I have both DVDs and watch them at least once a year. Best of luck to you.
I also saw it when it first came out. Both great little films. Part of my Kaiju collection. Just watched them a few weeks ago. I also have the soundtracks of the films on CD.
I really appreciated your effort to review "The Mysterians" given the quality of the videos you were using. I had the opportunity see The Mysterians as a ten-year old with my next door neighbor who was 12, at a local theater where my Mom left us to our own devices. First theater experience on my own -- what a life changing event! Movie was clear, effects were superb, and it really left a profound impact on me. Wish someone would restore it and distribute it in similar fashion as "Battle in Outer Space". Thanks again for tracking down whatever print you finally used and providing an excellent review under very adverse conditions. My belief is that "The Mysterians" would be considered a much better film if it were restored to its "as-was" condition. Good job!!
Very refreshing, than you!! 📽 🎞
I really enjoyed hearing the background story behind your viewing experience. And it was very relevant in context.
Ps. Love the cape!
The problem with Strontium-90 is that in humans the body mistakes it for calcium and incorporates the radioactive material into your bones. There it sits for years releasing radioactive decay (Bata particles which are easily stopped outside the body) directly into your body causing cancer.
Haha...such an entertaining review episode---I love it. You're a giggle & a half. 😀
That's a very catchy theme song
Love the singing.
That was a fun video!
It's interesting to see Battle In Outer Space in the context of being a lifelong devotee of Gerry Anderson. I've watched Fireball XL5, Supercar, Stingray, Thunderbirds, Captain Scarlet And The Mysterons, Joe 90, UFO, Space: 1999 etc. I love them all. I never knew these early Japanese films existed until recently. I always assumed he was the ground breaker in this type of model work but it seems these films pre-date Gerry Anderson by years. I still love his stuff but now I suspect these films may have given him some ideas...
Tenacity 😊! I like that 👌
Great job, Rome, thanks for sharing all the details. Nice cape. Consider wearing it again in late October, and owl be seeing you.
I think it was wise to start off the video explaining the difficulties you’ve experienced finding a movie and not trusting the internet after they “gotcha” with the Mysterians. Ouch. It shouldn’t be this difficult to find some of Toho’s films in good quality, heck any film with a small following for that matter. I agree, presentation can make or break a film, an example I have is 1986 The Wraith. When The Wraith released in theaters the audio was not synced up properly and got poor reviews and was eventually forgotten… recently it got a blu ray release and now it has a cult following.
Your time dedicated to making this review is appreciated and I think it made for a better video in the end. Here’s hoping we get a Toho classics collection with ALL of their films. I haven’t seen either film so have access to the them would be nice.
Also, cape Weislberry looks sinister…
Can't go wrong with the cape! Thanks👍!
Jerome is the first movie reviewer I've ever seen to use the phrase "diddly squat". Current status: addicted
Sometimes I have no real interest in the films and books you review. But your presentation is always delightful. Don't regret that window-cleaning sound; it made my day. And now I also know the ducktales theme song.
She's just so doggone cute! Lovable in every way.
I saw The Mysterians on screen when it premiered. It was loud and the colors exploded off the screen. I made my 9 year old head ache. I loved Battle in Outer Space also. It was a precursor of Star Wars. My favorite scene was a movie theater showing CINERAMA being whisked into the air. Bravo Tsurubaya.
Nice review of both films. Saw both in the theatre when they came out. Recently secured a dvd (Tokyo Shock) of The Mysterians (Japanese and English versions). Both are fun films. The Mysterians deserves to be remade by Toho. in 1977 The War In Space was released and it was touted to be the third part of the trilogy. Many of these films had 2 English dubs. One by the American distributor and a different one done in (I believe) Hong Kong for the International English release.
Both are pure escapism. Best watched on DVD or Blu-ray with Japanese language and English subtitles.
Big thumbs up for you and keep having fun with the reviews 👍🌞👍
Thank you Miss “W”. I echo that I too enjoyed your presentation (of two films that I do not intend to see). Also, your musical interlude while retrieving the cape was especially cute.
Thank you so much- this review is super cool, love the musical interlude! 🙆♀️
Ha ha ha I had to laugh because when I was VERY young I saw these two movies together as a double feature. I might have seen it with my brother because I certainly was too young to go to the movies alone. For many, many years I thought the two movies were one movie and only learned recently they were two movies. And they certainly aren't related except perhaps they used some of the same sets. Thank you.
And comparing the original with the American version, you are right. At a very young age I saw Godzilla with Raymond Burr, when I learned about the Japanese original I managed to see it in Japanese with English subs. Since then I've watched the original with subs whenever possible .
Great cape. They will be back in vogue one day. Also, the Ducktales theme song has to be in the top 5 best cartoon theme songs of all times. Thundercats also.
Just for the singing alone, I'm subscribing
I want to check these out one day
A few same-named characters, which were originally to be the same characters, and BOOM! It's a "loose sequel"!
TOHO's gifts for Saturday matinee glory.
I love the duck tales in the background,what a legend😂
Clicked for the classic Japanese sci-fi review, stayed for the Duck Tales theme song cover! All in all 100% satisfied. Also I completely agree. The presentation or print quality and edit of a film fundamentally affects one's perception of it's artistic value, regardless of it's inherent qualities.
The cape did me in.
Hi - i like the little Gizzmos behind you on the shelves...😁
Impressive review, very detailed, thoughtful and entertaining. Saw the Mysterians as a child and loved it then but didn't like nearly as much as an adult, special effects much better now.
Sweet a ToHo double feature that's awesome.
Hi , Jerome! It's 0402 here in Whitney, Texas, and I 'm enjoying your review. Your voice is pleasant, your commentary folksy and informative, and the sthick with the cape is priceless. As I've said before, even though I enjoy the cynical, snarky type of review, you provide a welcome change.
I saw THE MYSTERIANS a number of times as a child, as it showed up on local tv; I haven't seen it in years, and I 'm not prepared to pay what Amazon wants for it. I have BATTLE IN OUTER SPACE ( in a MillCreek set), and I also saw that on local tv in the Sixties; you'd think that COMET or somebody would show these films.
An'hoo, I love what you're doing; God bless!
Thank you for sharing! No comment on The Mysterians, never seen it. Battle In Outer Space is one of those movies I always forget that I watch. Or should I say the title is so generic sounding I confuse it with other scifi titles. But when I start watching it I always enjoy it. I don't know much about either movie to confirm if they are related to each other.
Extra thanks for the musical interlude and your imitation of the aliens from Battle Of Outer Space! It's those tidbits of personality that makes your channel one of my favorites!
As always an awesome review.
Battle in Other Space sounds cool. Definitely will watch it
I I have seen both of these films and I thought toho might have demanded some editing choices to the American distributor or they ignore the editing suggestions from the studio (Toho) that made it. I enjoyed your singing of the duck tales theme brought back memories of I used to watch that cartoon when I was a kid
I enjoyed this video. I believe I've missed these movies. I hope to see them someday.
May we please have more musical interludes please. It was delightful and you have a nice singing voice. Now I can’t stop singing the duck tails and dark wing duck themes.
"Jerome"--
I recently discovered your channel, and I've been enjoying your videos very much.
You get a lot of compliments, but here's a couple more. You are a charming, likeable, intelligent and interesting "commenter", and your videos are fun, entertaining and enlightening!
Thanks, and keep up the good work!
Thank you, and welcome to the channel! I'm glad you're enjoying the videos. :)
(Please ignore the other person who replied to your comment. I don't know what THAT was all about.)
I love movies from this period. Great video Jerome, and nice cape :D
You're adorable, Jarome. Hope that doesn't sound too weird, I enjoy the commentary as well
This has been one of my favorite reviews of yours. Sometimes the Japanese imports of Si-Fi films, you never know what you are going to get. Great Review, Keep them coming. Also never change your style, it is always informative and and amusing at the same time. I love them.
Thank you!
Well, seeing the clips and frames from THE MYSTERIANS you showed certainly proves it was a film-watching challenge of the first order---and, just as certainly, a challenge you well-met! I'm not sure i would've had the dedication to stick through it that you did, knowing---having seen this film on its original super-colorful MGM release---how far removed the dvd you had was from what came out of Toho Studios back in the day! I really enjoyed all the clarity you gave to this blurred material, as well as the "live-performance" (?--not sure what you'd call it, but it was quite amusing) you provided---your off screen musical-simulations while cape-hunting---and just the good old-fashioned "get it done" in spite of the eyeball and edit challenges you faced! Both THE MYSTERIANS and BATTLE IN OUTER SPACE feature some of the all-time best in visual and special effects spectacle to come from Toho, none of which came easy for their crews. Toho had just wanted to make BATTLE as another film in the same vein as THE MYSTERIANS as a follow up to the boxoffice success of the latter, a fact which became thought of as a "sequel", which, clearly, it wasn't/isn't.
Thanks for covering these very colorful SF-fantasy Japanese epics! Maybe you'll get a chance to see THE MYSTERIANS in its full glory at some point, and any other, newer thoughts would be great to hear....But maybe, after this assault on the optic nerves, you may not be wanting to see or even think about those Mysterian chaps for a while?
Great Video,great review.
Thanks!
Hello Jerome ! I hope you had a wonderful weekend! Your content is awesome 💛
Well, I spent most of it working on this video, but it was a labor of love. :) Thanks!
@@JeromeWeiselberry yes ma’am! Of course
If you still want to find a decent print, the Japanese version of The Mysterians is now available on The Criterion Channel if you are subscribed to that.
I find not only your reviews, but all the context you provide, from your meticulous, sometimes convoluted, frustrating search for the best version of a film, to observations made by family members you watched with, equally fascinating and informative. It’s all good, Jerome; not just good, but utterly delightful. It’s what makes your reviews feel so uniquely personal and fun. I’m only sorry you weren’t around in 1957 to see “The Mysterians” in its original glory, as I did at age 10. But that would’ve meant sacrificing your present youth only to learn that, in the end, you probably would still have chosen the more grandiose and epic, “Battle in Outer Space”, as the better film. I wouldn’t be surprised if a young George Lucas was inspired watching the thrilling space battle scenes of that movie. As to the Mysterians coming to Earth to interbreed with our women, a recurring theme in this genre, I always chuckle at what Carl Sagan pointed out about how differently evolved from us beings from another planet would be: “We could sooner mate with a petunia than with an extraterrestrial”.
Such a shame you saw a bad transfer. Thankfully I own a DVD copy of The Mysterians. The Technicolor is eye candy and amazing to look at.
I just got Battle in Outer Space as part of a multi-pack from Dollar Tree. I’m sure the quality will be top -notch! 😉
Yep 48p (a tad below 480p).
Actually, most of us are genre fans who've already seen much of what you review and have already formed our own opinions. The way you review them and the story behind your reviews are the real meat of your videos.
Great, now I'm gonna have the Ducktales theme stuck in my head for another 30 years. Thanks.
You're welcome. :D
@JeromeWeiselberry >>> This double-review is FINE...👍
I enjoy old movies and enjoy your reviews. You've helped me find movies I didn't even know existed! So, your efforts are greatly appreciated! The costume change was fun. I was like, "OMG! Is she really singing Duck Tales? LOL! That's so awesome!" Anyway, I enjoy your reviews. Keep up the good work.
Bravo, J. I think most of know the feeling when the product doesn't live up to the advertising. (Case in point, 9 year old me and that crummy, mail order telescope.) But you made lemonade out of a lemon, and did something great. I would now watch either of these with pleasure. Bring on the Count Chocula capes, the weird robot arms, the beaked helmets. It's all good. Thanks for this fun outing, a perfect end to my weekend.
Your singing is quite nice! I don't even sing in church because I am afraid everyone would stare at me like they did Barney Fife.
The Internet Archive should have a widescreen copy of the Japanese version of THE MYSTERIANS. I first saw it on TV back in 1980 on TBS and for many years, that version was the only one I was familiar with. I taped it in the late 80s and it looked better than the dark copy you saw (sorry you experienced that). As for being a sequel, both THE MYSTERIANS and BATTLE have a characters named "Dr. Adachi" and "Etsuko Shiraishi". Also, the name "Joji Atsumi" is sort of incorporated into the name of Ryo Ikebe's character, "Ichiro Katsumiya". One thing about the Japanese version of MYSTERIANS is that you can hear two voices coming from Yoshio Tsuchiya. One is the Japanese voice and the other is a buzzing sound, supposedly the alien's actual voice.
Oh, you should sing anyway! It doesn't matter what other people might think.
I checked on Internet Archive several times, and for some reason (user error?), all I could find was the poor American version and a couple Japanese trailers. Could be I overlooked it... Thanks for the extra info on the names the two films have in common!
@@JeromeWeiselberry They might have taken the Japanese version down. I'm sorry. Why a better looking print wasn't used for the vhs release many moons ago is a mystery. Almost forgot--Harold S. Conway played "Dr. Immerman" in both films, although his character was renamed for the dubbed version of THE MYSTERIANS.
I would love to hear your top 10 Hitchcock movies. Have a nice weekend
Excuse ME while I get my cape.
No. You watched the Japanese version. There is no 2nd scene featuring the aliens in the Japanese version. And I have the Japanese DVD. So you don't need to worry about that. The biggest difference between the US and Japanese versions is the music. The US Cut removed most of Ifukube's relentless military marches during the battle sequences. Great reviews. It's great listening to someone experiencing these for the first time.
I do HIGHLY recommend rewatching the Mysterians in its original scope. It's a beautiful movie full of eastmancolor glory.
Don't regret that window-cleaning sound, it shall become a great mime.
I got good quality DVDs of both of these movies from Netflix back when Netflix sent out DVDs.
I've seen both of these - and I like them... They are different from your standard Japanese monster movie - being a bit different makes them interesting. Loved this episode - I think you are on to something with the comparison videos. The humor was also fun - more musical interludes ;-)
Big Jerome Weiselberry fan btw
The mysterians is a big favorite of mine a fun, entertaining, but also creative movie.
I found a DVD years ago that has the original version in a decent transfer, letterboxed. I have a feeling it's one of those crazy-priced discs you saw as I've never seen that DVD for sale anywhere since. Both films are wacko but fun.
Hi JW, you may know that The Mysterians is available on criterion channel with a high quality version in Japanese with English subtitles. If you didn’t know, now you do. I watched it several months ago with my dad. It’s much better than the VHS tape he had made off air that I had seen as a kid from TBS (which I suspect is the original American dub you saw).
Monster Zero could have been a sequel to the Mysterians. It wasn't but the aliens have similar plans. I just watched Battle in Outer Space recently and enjoyed it. That cape may be better served for a Jane Austen review but I did enjoy the musical interlude and I very much enjoyed the reviews.
Having seen the Mysterians at the drive in as a young baby boomer ( our parents took us) I can say that the Mysterian leader did indeed sound like F.D.R. Of course when the giant robot first appears…it is really cool! But the Daly motion version is terrible…
Nice cape.
Having come of age during the peak of AOL and my only resource to obtain Anime was 3rd gen duped vhs tapes... I can relate to the disappointment. On the plus side, you had an adventure in film and we got to hear about it!
Hi Jerome! I haven't seen either of these movies, although I own "Battle in Outer Space" on blu ray so I should watch that soon. I hear you about poor audiovisual quality having a negative impact on one's ability to properly evaluate a movie sometimes. I agree with you 100% about "Jamaica Inn", too! It may not be one of Hitchcock's best films, but I actually like it a lot! I have a feeling "Under Capricorn" has been much maligned for similar reasons for many years. That's not one of Hitchcock's best either, but it's nowhere near as poor a film as some people have made it out to be. I remember enjoying that one as well.
Used to love Duck Tails back in the day 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Nah, review was fine. Good double feature. "Battle" was a fun memory of my youth, and I really appreciated the unique aliens.
Very tangentially, your experience reminded me of my attempt to watch the Czech film UCHO (1970) (a great movie BTW). There exists on YT a good transfer in a poorly synched German dub, and a muddy low rez edition with the original Czech soundtrack, neither of which has English subtitles. I had to play the German version on mute, have the Czech version playing a separate window and a fan translation of the script scrolling on Notepad. It was a struggle to keep everything even slightly synced. What we do for art....
If you're looking for good transfers of 3 Toho classics on DVD I recommend ICONS OF SCI FI: TOHO COLLECTION. It's released by Columbia Pictures and has THE H-MAN , BATTLE IN OUTER SPACE ,and MOTHRA on three discs. Each movie is in the original widescreen aspect ratio. All the movies are presented in either the Japanese version or the edited dubbed english version.
The things that you will go through to get your story.I hope that your editor appreciates what a dedicated reporter you are.
I got access to Battle in Outer Space on tubi.The dubbed version.In this case I think that the ominous alien voice that warns
and controls did not sound ominous enough.The Japanese was probably more intimidating.I enjoyed the film although it
never soared like an eagle.I kept wanting to know what was going to happen next but I don't know if the story has enough
unique elements to stick in my long term memory.Not like the moment when you left the room to don a cape.That Godzilla
plushy was grinning from ear to ear.I thought he was going to jump up and start puttin' on the ritz.Your cape.Just yesterday,
I was watching a goofball movie called Rockula 1990.Toni Basil played a vampire mother.Singing and dancing like a youngster.
Took me back to that moment.The window wiper aliens.Thats what the new Star Wars movies needed.What is it with that
astronaut that keeps losing gravity?Nobody else has this problem.I thought that zero gravity did not discriminate.
Your trials and tribulations have resulted in a very entertaining review.Jamaica Inn was successful at the box-office.
You wouldn't think that based on its reputation.I would like to see The Mysterians.But only if it looks pristine.Like a
newly wiped window.I find that thought scary now.Thank you.
IS THIS THE POWER RANGERS MOVIE PART 2
BUT WITH 🦇 CAPES .......WOW 😲😲😲😲😳
Finally got around to watching this video, what made you decide to sing the Duck Tales Theme Song while getting your vampire cape? That was a delightful interlude. Have you seen the old version or new version of Duck Tales. I used to watch the new version of Duck Tales with my youngest sister when it first came out.
Ha, nothing in particular. It had just been stuck in my head all day, which happens sometimes. :) I don't think I was even aware there was a new version of Duck Tales until a few months ago, so I'm definitely only familiar with the old one.
Jerome, I recommend the Daimajin trilogy.
Got it on the list!
Do persist in finding a good copy of Mysterians - it really feels like everything good about it was lost in the ‘Americo-potatofication’ of the copy you saw!
You doing awesome job even though the movie was horrible it was still entertaining the way you explained it. I seen other people that review movies and they are boring you really get into the details which I find fascinating.
Now you need to find a copy of "Matango" aka "Attack of the Mushroom People", also directed by Ishirō Honda.
Another excellent review . I will definitely have to take a look at these two films .
Many thanks for these recommendations.
By the way , when is your album of musical interludes coming out ?
Awesome review of two of my favorite toho movies 😊 thanks. Can you please review Latitude Zero next ?
@JeromeWeiselberry >>> *_"The girthy pyromaniac robot chicken..."_*
I was not expecting to hear THOSE WORDS in this video review...😉
I’d never heard of the Mysterians before your review and it seems like a worthy watch, Battle in Outer Space is a little more appealing to me though, great reviews, really interesting to hear the story of how your review came to be. I want a vampire cape :( lol, if Aliens landed and said come on board I’d say not a chance! No way! Aliens: we want you to wear a vampire cape, Me : why didn’t you lead with that? I’m in! Lol, if I had a vampire cape I’d wear it randomly around the house, answer the door dramatically with Good Evening! Bela Lugosi accent. walk dramatically holding the cape just under my eyes, open the fridge with a hiss, the light! Lol
~ Thank you Ms Weiselberry ~
I apologise if a comment I attempted to add shows up more than once, it wouldn’t post, I discovered a site that may have the original version and mentioned it, perhaps it’s why my comment failed. ~ Thank you again ~
Hm, I don't see any such comment. RUclips would hold it back for review if it includes a link, but I don't see it there. Maybe it will show up later?
@@JeromeWeiselberry Weirdly I didn’t add a link just mentioned the name of the site, perhaps RUclips are just tired of my comments, wisely I’m sure lol. I was curious to know if the film was available on a major service in Europe, I googled (The M+++++++s Japanese version streaming), odd way to word it. I’ve attempted to add this reply multiple times so I’ll chance not adding the films name lol. I happened upon a site with a decent version, Japanese titles with English subs. I’m unsure how legitimate the site is but it worked fine for me although I only checked the beginning to see if it worked.
~ Thank you again Ms Weiselberry ~
Ha! This reply posted, I’ll try to add the name again, BitChute
@@bartolomeuomacduibheamhnad6855 Welp, I don't know what to say; it never showed up on my end. Hmph! I've never heard of that site, but then again, I'm not too adventurous when it comes to videos and links on websites I'm not familiar with. I don't want any trouble. :)
I can tell you that I have the Japanese cut of this film, I found it by luck at a best buy store about eight years ago good color and very clear picture I'm very happy with it on dvd took me a long time to locate a copy but it was worth it l happen to love Japanese science fiction movies and I have a nice coalition I'm hoping some day you will review the GREEN SLIME 1968 if you have seen it I think it's a fun movie cool monsters and a great theme song as well keep up the good job your great. 📽📽📽😀😀😀🌹🌹🌹🌹
I own both of these movies and have watched them a couple of years ago. I liked both of them with the edge going to Battle in Outer Space, if memory serves me correctly. I have the Tokyo Shock/Media Blasters DVD of the Mysterians which has the 88-minute original Japanese version. It's good quality. It's available for purchase, but you're going to have to fork over some dough to get it. I have Battle in Outer Space on Blu-ray; however it came as a double feature with the H-Man (as a separate disc). Maybe your library has this too since it has the other. This is also directed by Honda and is another movie with radiation gone wrong. I like this one too, and hopefully you'll check it out. There are still a couple other Honda sci-fi movies you haven't seen yet. Some others you will not be able to see - probably - because you are going to have to pay money for. The Human Vapor and Gorath are both good ones to see - along with the H-Man.
I tried and I can’t make that window sound 😩
Cool review. 50's Japanese sci-fi is quite fun. I enjoyed the visual style of The Mysterians. I'd love to hear your thoughts on Planet of The Vampires (1965) by Mario Bava. If you've done a review of this film, sorry I missed it. :-)
I have. :) Here's a link: ruclips.net/video/eFPrzPWNCDc/видео.html
@@JeromeWeiselberry Cool. Thanks!
I have the official wide screen subbed version on dvd. It’s worth tracking down.
Did you check internet archive?
I believe the Internet Archive does have the widescreen Japanese version! Excellent suggestion!
Yes, I did check there, but all I found was the American version and the Japanese trailers.
@@JeromeWeiselberry Toho probably flagged them for it, lol. Brandon Tenold just loves (buzz sound), 🚫 Flagged By Toho. Oops. See what I mean.
I’m a huge fan of Toho’s Mutango. I’m still not sure any other movie captured quite this same weird vibe. I’d love to hear your thoughts!
I did a review of Matango (along with three other Toho films, including the Japanese version of The Mysterians) in this video: ruclips.net/video/s0B-MrfBJPg/видео.html
@@JeromeWeiselberry excellent. I shall check it… them out!
I think you probably know about this one, but if not, check out Daiei Film's Daimajin (and the two sequels if you like it).
Not really a kaiju film per se, more of a samurai film with supernatural elements, but it does have a giant monster.
Not to mention another great theme from Ifukube.
Yup, I've had that trilogy on the review list for a few years.
How can you watch Blu-rays? Do you have a Blu-ray player?
My Blu-ray player is a PS3 I bought used in 2019, and I used to get DVDs before I got my PS3.
Yes, we finally got a Blu-ray player a few months ago.
don't forget to reveiw the Attack of the Mushroom people
Is anyone going to mention "? and the Mysterians," the 1960s rock band that took its name from the movie? The late Alex Trebek would add, "and the Mysterians" if someone just put a "question mark" as a Final Jeopardy response.
