yes...as far as I remember,when the movie was first being brought to the US,
it was thought that there had better be a big American "name" (Raymond 
Burr??  :-) ) in the movie so that we Americans would otherwise go see this
'meaningless' monster movie....

so they taped a buncha scenes with just him in it, and then edited the scenes
into the movie.... 

I think that they might have done the same thing with the new movie
