It's been documented in another thread that in all likelyhood the destruction scenes from Invasion of the Neptune Men were lifted from Final War. I think someone (maybe August) fished up a few rare stills from that latter movie that prove it. And there were two Japanese Invisible Man films made. The 1949 one is more obscure. The 1954 one came out around the same time as Godzilla and was directed by Motoyoshi Oda (Godzilla Raids Again).

And Stuart, in the words of the Japanese, gambare! I hope you write another nice meaty book on these films. I loved your writing as a kid and always thought your views were very informed and sincere. I still have a dog-eared copy of Monsters that I read every so often.
