Anyone else watching it on USA right now?

It's weird. According to Wikipedia NBC owns the exclusive broadcast rights, but here it is playing on USA.

Anyone else watching it?

NBCUniversal Cable Entertainment Group which owns NBC network also owns USA Network.

Ah, that makes sense. Thanks for the info.

I'm a little surprised they didn't keep the film as an exclusive for NBC itself. There's a sort of prestige in saying, "You'll find it here and nowhere else!"

I'd love to be watching it right now, but it's not now. Met some young ladies this summer who haven't seen it at all, and I urged them to check it out. Wonderful stuff.

What do you mean, "ON USA"? Don't you mean "IN USA"?

[–] PrimeMinisterX (8859) 6 years ago

On USA.

Ah.

Never heard of that before.

You must be outside the United States. USA is a pretty well-known network here and it's been around a long time.

I still have fond memories of watching ninja movies on USA back in the 80s and early 90s.
