I'll be watching the last hour of it. Will post results afterwards.

The WWE Diva Search isn't over yet, but one of the contestants is already in trouble with the law (report from TOPWRESTLING.com):

If it doesn't have Queen music, it ain't Highlander.

Lupin III. Almost every toy company (i.e. Bandai, Takara, Medicom Toy) has made toys for the series.

Tonight on SmackDown!: - Theodore Long announces that JBL must defend the WWE title against the Undertaker in a Last Ride match at No Mercy next month. It's similar to last year's Kane vs. Shane McMahon ambulance match; only that a hearse will be used instead of an ambulance. - Billy Kidman and Paul London lose the Tag titles to Kenzo Suzuki and Rene Dupree after Kidman once again walked out of the match. Kidman is currently being punished by WWE for injuring Chavo Guerrero two weeks ago. - Who the hell is Carlito Caribbean Cool?! - What's with Heidenrich's fetish with announcers? - Big Slow made his return by kicking everyone out of the ring before chokeslamming Eddie Guerrero and Kurt Angle in the lumberjack match. Yawn.

Even though his company co-produced it, Stan Lee is not a "true believer" of the Japanese Spider-Man TV series. Besides, I'd imagine that Marvel would put the series with Nicholas Hammond on DVD first. Speaking of DVD, has anyone here picked up the 1967 Collection DVD? Regardless of how old it is, it's still the best animated adaptation of Spidey.

Not worth it, as it looks like the Scopedog doesn't have much poseability.

Many of us know about the Spider-Man manga by Ryoichi Ikegami (Crying Freeman, Sanctuary), but manga versions of Hulk and Moon Knight? That's news to me. BTW, has anyone here read the X-Men manga?

Ted Turner must've paid them to colorize it.

Man, what a bad time for me to have no $$$ in the bank.

The guy who played Jason in Jason X is named Kane, but he's a different person.

Looks like another WWE Superstar is headed for Hollywood (Article from TOPWRESTLING.com):

The show is actually perfect for those who hate Power Rangers. Just download it and see it for yourself.

While we're on the subject of Mr. T, check out Mr. T, The Toughest Man in Anime. This was originally mentioned here months ago, but the thread was deleted for no reason.

Like what gerwalk25 said, Mighty Orbots was a joint U.S./Japanese production. If it ripped off anything, it was probably God Mars. But then again, they were both produced by TMS.

Spider-Man ( スパイダーマン ) Marvel Comics/TV Tokyo/Toei Co. Ltd., 1978-1979 Watch the series now at Marvel.com Not Rated (Suggested TV-PG). Contains martial arts violence. Cast Shinji Todo as Takuya Yamashiro/Spider-Man Mitsuo Ando as Professor Monster Izumi Oyama as Niiko Yamashiro Rika Miura as Hitomi Sakuma Yukie Kagawa as Amazoness Synopsis A giant spacecraft known as "Marveler" has crashed somewhere in Japan. At the same time, biker Takuya Yamashiro receives telepathic messages of his destiny, which leads him to a forest. He sees that his father has been killed by minions of the evil "Iron Cross Army", but as he escapes from the army's assault, he is severely wounded. Falling into a pit, Takuya meets Garia, a soldier from the planet Spider. Before losing his human form and changing into a spider, Garia gives Takuya a special device called a "Spider Bracelet" that not only heals his wounds, but injects a fluid that gives him superhuman strength and agility, the ability to climb walls, and a sixth sense that warns him of danger. Reborn as "Spider-Man", Takuya uses his newly-acquired abilities and the giant robot Leopardon to wage a one-man war to protect Earth from the Iron Cross Army. Lowdown The 1970s was a crazy era for Marvel Comics. Sales of their titles skyrocketed, especially with the revitalization of The Uncanny X-Men in 1975. In 1977, the first live-action adaptation of Spider-Man premiered on CBS. At around the same time, Marvel invaded Japan and collaborated with film giant Toei to produce a Spider-Man series geared for the Japanese audience. The result: a Spider-Man show with the distinguishing features of tokusatsu (Japanese for "special effects") shows - laughable acting, cheap props and lots of pyrotechnics. Unlike Kamen Rider, Spider-Man doesn't do a henshin pose when he changes outfits; instead, the costume pops out of his Spider Bracelet and he zips it up. On the bright side, the Japanese Spidey costume looks much better than the one Nicholas Hammond paraded around in the U.S. series. The bracelet is also the source of Spidey's "webbing" (more like ropes than webs, though). And much like Kamen Rider's weapons, the bracelet is voice-activated (either that or Spidey just wants to tell the bad guys that he's trapping them with a Spider Net). But wait! The cheesiness doesn't stop there. When the Iron Cross Army super-sizes its monster of the week, Spidey calls out Marveler, which launches his Spider Machine GP-7 car to drive (and fly) him to the ship. Marveler then transforms into the giant robot Leopardon. Yes - you read that right. Spider-Man has a giant robot. And we actually have this show to thank for the giant robots that have appeared on all other Super Sentai and tokusatsu shows produced since then. Spider-Man is obviously not for everyone. You will either love it or hate it, whether you're a fan of the comics or Japanese sci-fi. Check out the first episode to judge for yourself. It's nowhere close to the current movie series, but it's perfect for cheap thrills. Rating: B References The Internet Movie Database

Another stale episode of RAW: - Since Edge has a groin injury, Bischoff had to strip him of the Intercontinental belt. This Sunday, Y2J and Christian go at it in a ladder match for the title. - How sad...Benoit was World Champion. Now he's doing mid-card tag matches. - HHH vs. Eugene - the single worst steel cage match in history. - What kind of World Champion fumbles his lines and laughs about it in the middle of the promo? - Orton defeated Kane in a non-title steel cage match. Yup, he's dropping the strap to HHH this Sunday.

Speaking of which...

More Adult Swim news from the Anime News Network:

Stay away from it. Unlike the HK bootleg, the Kiseki version is poorly edited, not to mention that the video quality is crap.

Unfortunately, I never get a chance to watch UFC, Pride FC or K-1. All this crap happening in the WWE makes me wish I didn't sell my FMW DVDs.
