I was browsing around some anime DVD sites and I found a DVD called Time Bokan with Gatchaman in it!? Here's the url: http://store.animearigato.com/usmd2458.html You can see Ken (or Mark if you prefer) on the cover. I had never heard of this movie before.

Thanks for the link Condorfan, I haven't viewed the video but I am more then interested in purchasing it.

Wierd.

I have the movie. it's quite funny. I hope you all do get it and watch it. You will enjoy it.

Does it use old Gatchaman footage or did they animate some new footage?

I haven't seen it but if it's like the other Tatsunoko special, it'll be all new footage. For images of the Gatch segments from the other one (Time Bokan Royal Revival - I'd forgotten the name), look on http://www2.angulang.org.uk in the galllery section.

Thanks for that Meridian...I thought about buying this...it looks truly silly. Looks like they took their opportunity to try to undress the Swan any way they could...

It uses new footage just made for this movie. They don't look their normal way.In the part where there's fighting but in the beginning they look like the classic version but in the fighting they sort of look different. Check Ang's site for the pictures there to see for yourself.Its worth the look.

Thanks for the link meridianday! I think I just might get it--it's worth just for Jun beating up Ken (the clueless dope!--How can he not see that Jun is in love with him everyone else does!)

From looking at the DVD cover, I can't tell if it's the same thing as in the gallery images or a different one. I know Tatsunoko made 2 of these and both had Gatchaman in them. I've seen the "Royal Revival" one. It has the other heroes (Hurricane Polimer, Tekkaman, Casshan) in it as well, as inclued on the image for this DVD. So it might be the same thing. I don't know whether the other heroes appear in the other one.

OK, I just did some searching around and it is the same as Royal Revival. Except with subtitles - which would make it a lot easier to watch The other is called something like "Wonderful Tatsunokoland", or something with Tatsunokoland in it anyway.
