Ok I apologiize if this has been posted before...but I stumbled onto something that really puzzled me...a true Gatchaman "rip-off"- literally!!! Gatch RIP OFF

Is it too funny! However, it does give us some idea of what a live-action Gatchaman movie might look like (although I'd hope for a higher budget for stunts, costumes and effects!)

I love the way they fly!!

I'm not sure what thread it is, but we found something like that (not nearly as extensive) a little while ago. James explained that it was a company that made weird B-movies so Asian men could look at girls in skimpy costumes. It *does* bear an amazing resemblance to Gatch, though.

How 'bout that arm?? Amazing, huh?

Here's the other thread... http://www.gatchamania.net/thread.php?threadid=1877&sid=

Well figures this might be the time to show something I just found on Nico Video. A strange ANIMATED ripoff that aired in Korea in 1979. That theme song is GRATING or maybe it's just the horrible quality of the video, I dunno. http://d.hatena.ne.jp/video/niconico/sm2010060

Thanks TJ! I thought I had seen it before...I just saw the other one before...not the one I posted...there is so much crazy stuff out there!

That one is really bizarre, Cain! I'm surprised they didn't rip off the rest of the team, too!

I hadn't seen that one! Thanks for posting, Cain! I love the shot of him in front of the planet that is a TOTAL ripoff!!! For a moment I thought you meant this one: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UGXQcHOBYIE But this one has a much cooler Nambu clone.

you three find the most bizarre things .... thank you, I think.

Yeah, that had me thinking "is she a cyborg?" -there appear to be dangley wires, and no blood- but it's probably just a low-budget issue!

Hee, that's a pretty blatant "Ken" ripoff there -I wonder if Tatsunoko ever tried to do anything about that.

I came across this video awhile ago and was like wtf?

Interesting... it does look like gatchaman... but not as good as Ken

I have watched it before, all I could say when I first saw it was "Wow, they got the panty shots spot on."

Now I definitely have never watched this before. Thanks for posting it, Cain.

I just find it strange that this robot that the Korean animators "allegedly" designed was strangely similar to the robot from the Japanese robot anime "Mazinger Z"
