I rarely like remakes, but this movie deserves an updated version.
Similar story and actors to Vapor Man
why do the dubbers always sound like Peter Lorre?
ウルトラキャスト多数出演！
万城目さん、ハヤタ隊員、岩本博士…懐かしい！
Creature similar to: The Blob! Did, ' Rocky and Bullwinkle ' , evolve somehow from this movie?😮
Bañare si tienes calor calor
Thanks for the upload!
Back in the day I learned to speak Japanese by repeatedly watching this movie!
Turns out it's not Japanese…
刑事さんの中に電送人間とガス人間がいる
平田明彦さんは、その後のバラエティでは「ぴったしカンカン」のレギュラーでしたね。東大出身を思わせない、頭いいフリしないところが好感でした。
An excellent use of slime effects.
"Couldn't it be called… H-Man?" and then next day it's in the headline of the newspaper. That's clout. He made an instant meme. He should be so chuffed that it caught on.
相変わらず海外ではINОSHIRОよみなんですね。
Saw this in a theater when I was 12. Genuinely creepy. They handed out souvenir "H-Men." Sponges in human form. When placed in water they swelled up. Wish I still had mine.
Parece um episódio da série Ultra Q, só que com maior duração…❤❤❤
QUE BOSTA DE DUBLAGEM.
ミスターKやないかいっ🎉🎉🎉
と思ったら美女と液体人間🎉🎉🎉
Japan The Globe?😁
原作を映画館で観た
ダンサーが溶かされた後、床にパンツだけが残ったシーンで観客から失笑が湧いたのを鮮明に覚えてる
filmezinho com uma proposta ate OK, mas sinceramente nao é tão cativante e os personagens nao sao interessantes
Loooooooove the nightclub music!
The Japanese actors sounded so fluent in English, and their lip movements looked perfectly natural, but the movie must have been dubbed, I think.
01:13:00 This dubbed version has her saying, "Help me! Somebody help me! Please!" But in the original Japanese version, she is repeatedly calling out "Sensei!"—referring to Dr. Masada, whom she deeply respects and adores.
This line really conveys her love and trust for Dr. Masada, so I wish they had translated the original Japanese nuance more accurately here.
I truly love this movie.
東宝特撮変身人間シリーズの美女と液体人間の海外版ですね〜😮😊
“ The H-Man” (1958) is my favorite Japanese sci-fiction movie in The Big Show as TV movie in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania when I still was at WPSD(Western Pennsylvanian School for the Deaf) in my old school days as I saw it before the dinner time started as I remembered it so well. In middle of the movie, “ The H-Man”, the nuclear scientist did the frog experiments on trail being tested to be proven in the proof of true evidence to find out about why the people disappeared without traces inside Tokyo mysteriously. Finally the experiment turned in explanation to be the “ H- Man” monster — blobs turned to the glowing green ghost like radioactive men as known as H- Men.
H man を表現する、アイヌ民族的テーマ音楽（作曲：佐藤 勝）は、シュール。
Obrigado pela postagem. Há muitos anos queria reassistir esse filme. Quando criança assisti na TV umas duas vezes, lá pelo final dos anos 60 e início dos anos 70. Excelente filme japonês feito para o público ocidental.
Good film
Very nice
😊❤
Props to the effects techs.
Can't believe that I've seen this before 👀 what is going on?
