There are two "invisible" period films: THE INVISIBLE SWORDSMAN (Tomei Kenshi) and THE INVISIBLE TENGU (Tomei Tengu), I believe -- I'm away from home right now and cannot look up the exact titles. Honda's origina and uncut version of THE HUMAN VAPOR is quite superior to the re-edited American version -- Honda's is told in a linear narrative, not in flashback, and the film unfolds like a crime story, rather than a love story. Although, I do have to give props for some of the well-written monolouges written for voice dubber James Hong. Also, the US version removes much of the original and powerful score by Kunio Miyauchi, and replaces it with soggy and tired library cues. I would love to see a Media Blaster's release of this film materialize for US fans.
