Columbia has done it, trust me, but I don't think it's on all of them. They may have done it and then taken it off. I know I own a bootleg of Battle in Outer Space that did everything in its power to make this taped off TV movie look like a Columbia release (which it was back in 1961), including staling Columbia's FBI warnings. I know I've seen it on other Columbia tapes, though, that just happens to be the one I own that has it, and being an Ishiro Honda fan I had to have it (not to mention it features Yoshio Tsuchiya's first "mad" role).
