Here’s to hoping that it won’t bomb like fellow Tatsunoko property “Speed Racer”.
This movie would’ve been a hit during the early-mid '90’s “Power Rangers” mania, and when “G-Force” was last airing in the U.S on Cartoon Network. But I don’t know how kids would react to this today…I mean, they’re still obviously making yearly PR installments, but have any of them been even as half as profitable and successful as the original MMPR???
If you guys want to catch up on the OG Gatchaman, then definitely hit up ADV’s box-set releases of the whole series that they released a couple of years ago…they’ve effectively supplanted the old English “Battle of the Planets” and “G-Force: Guardians of Space” dubs as THE definitive English version, but I still prefer “G-Force” even with its flaws and its lack of an ending (neither BotP & G-Force translated the last Gatchaman episodes). Those ADV sets are gonna become scarce soon I predict, with “Tatsunoko Vs. Capcom” getting people to look up Tatsunoko’s work and now this movie. They’ve been out of print for years now, and the “Gatchaman” franchise is currently unlicensed in the U.S due to the long-time owner of its rights (Sandy Frank Entertainment) having lost them last year.
