Peter Cullen!!! this show is on Par with other 80s cartoons and with most of the shows taken from Japan and Americanized Instead of saying people died they say Robots were destroyed or something to that effect. on the TOKU channel it is currently airing on. Well it is listed at TV-14. The Violence is no worse then Voltron, GI joe, The Transformers. Not sure what Discovery Family Channel has Gi Joe Listed as but I think it is Y-7. Has some of the same concepts as Volton Transforming Robots, The enemy has some kind of giant Mechanized warriors. The thing I don't get okay a Horse is Cybernetic how can it get a Bruise!!!!!!!. I think it was produced by the same people that did Volton also. I thought this show wnen I saw the Title was the other one Bravestarr. It is currently airing 2 or 3 times a day. sometimes more on TOKU. Which its logo looks more like TO sideways V and the U.

This Movie Showed up awhile ago on IFC. I just was able to find it to watch it Online again. Stars James Remar better known as being in the Cult Classic film the Warriors, and playing Dexters Step Dad in the Showtime Series Dexter. He Plays a NYC Detective. Who gets a call from his Ex and flys out West to get to the Bottom of some Trouble she feels a member of her family is in. You have a pretty decent Cast. Adam Coleman Howard who does not have a lot of acting credits but what is there is pretty cool and he has a Rather interesting Bio Page. Nick Cassavetes, Jared Martin, Chris Mulkey, Fran Ryan and Joey Sagal the Brother of Katie. These people have been in various TV shows and movies. It has a lot of action and many interesting scenes. In some instances it reminds me of Walking Tall. Its cool to look up the Credits of these actors and actresses and see where you might have noticed them before.

The toy line from this film was great as well. The Special effects were great. also Roddy McDowell as the voice of Vincent for some reason some of the toys were only available in Canada or Italy Such as S.T.A.R. and the Crew of the Ship. The film also had some Religious aspects to it. The Idea of Heaven and Hell. I remember seeing this Film when I was a kid at the Drive in. I watched it time and time again when it would be on TV. It has a Cult following, and a Very Strong Cast. Anthony Perkins, Robert Forester, Maximillian Schell, The relationship between Dr. Reinhardt and the Robot Maximillian is a very interesting one. People always call for Remakes of Movies I see no reason to remake this film. It stands the test of Time. I am one who is tired of all the Remakes. I don't mind that George Lucas went back and added a few things in the original Star Wars films and Remastered them. You don't remake classic films. Some can be better then the original in some ways. But to me most of the remakes are busts. Some Movies have been remade 2 or 3 times over, even more in some cases. Death Wish is being remade, the Beguiled, when the originals were so good to begin with starring Charles Bronson and Clint Eastwood Respectively. This movie is highly under rated, if anything it deserves a Sequel. But its too late for that as key actors from the original have passed away. It was ahead of its time like so many other Sci Fi films from around that era before and after Star Wars a New Hope came out.

I liked Ray Stevenson as Firefly though in the Cartoon and the Comics you never saw him without his Mask. Between the Two films they should have just taken the Scripts literally from the Comics especially the Snake Eyes and Storm Shadow Narrative. Is Scarlett Dead, in the Comics she was basically Snake Eyes woman, as Flint and Lady Jay were together. The Bad thing about the Cartoon is Duke was the Leader of the Joes when it was really Hawk, they both could have co-existed in the Cartoon earlier. Also in the Comic Duke was introduced with Road Block, so that part of the Film Made Sense, Though Channing Tatum in the Sequel looked Small and less Tough then in the Original. Retaliation was better as it explained that basically the Reason Storm Shadow joined Cobra was because he was after Zartan. But it would have made more sense for Snake Eyes to not speak because he was injured in a Helicopter accident trying to save Scarlett, and that Snake Eyes and Storm Shadow were War Buddies. It would have been nice to see Roadblock Cook a meal or something. There are so many tough Joes that could have been in the film it was pretty Cool with Bruce Willis as the Original Gi Joe, just like the Original appeared in one of the issues of the Comic. If they do make another film Serpentor needs to somehow surface or how about Kwinn the Eskimo and Dr. Venom. It also would have been interesting say Snake Eyes face was disfigured to see him infiltrate the Prison and be unmasked and everyone faint Every issue of the Marvel Comics are good Reads and have you on your toes as to what will happen.

The Ending begs for the question will there be a sequel. Will the series be reborn with the Fight against the Shadow Some things were definitely changed slightly from the New Generation final episode since the movies beginning intersects that ending. I finished watching the Macross saga before watching it. The two best Robotech Series were Macross and New Generation they were neck and neck the Robotech Masters lagged a bit behind the other two and I did not see the New Generation for an eternity it seems before it came out on DVD because for some strange reason Cartoon Network would never show it they would only show Macross and Robotech Masters. Never could figure that one out. Robotech along with StarBlazers and Battle of the Planets are probably the three greatest sci fi/ fantasy series to come from Japan.

It would have been nice though to see Rook, Rand, Lunk, Annie and the rest of the band of Freedom Fighters who helped Scott Bernard so much in New Generation.

and what happened to Lisa Hayes???? and Lynn Minmei??

the original series never really mentioned either of them after the Macross saga and I never have had the chance to see the Sentinels parts.

This was the Best Episode of the Show It featured Super Dave Osborne as a character named Al who ran a Sports Collectibles Shop and Norm Pimping Out his Weiner Dog Instead of a Man Whore, Weiner Dog Was a Male Dog Whore Because it was ABC you Probably couldn't use the Phrase I think Weiner Dogs Cock is broken But you could use I think Weiner Dogs Rooster is broken Hoping the Norm Show will be released on DVD soon The Show should never have been canceled Either should have Norm's other show A minute with Stan Hooper which had 13 Episodes most of which were never aired on FOX Apparently only 6 episodes ever aired Whats up with that I have seen it a lot in my 31 years shows being canceled before their time like The Mike O'Malley Show which NBC aired like 2 episodes Other shows that were ended before their time The Pretender The Highwayman both shows were on NBC Vengeance Unlimited which was axed by ABC Vengeance unlimited had its Comedic moments The shows that ended up on the Fox Network and were short lived most have been Put out on DVD Kindred the Embraced Profit and Harsh Realm all finding a home on DVD along with Action and soon to be joined by Roar Well if you like Norm MacDonald you definitely need to see the Norm Show People said that Deuce Bigalow European Gigalow was a bad movie but I liked it, and Norm MacDonald was hilarious as a Scottish Man Whore. It was as if Quint from Jaws had become a Man Whore. Also a Great Movie is Dirty work where Norm is Reunited with his Norm Show Costar Artie Lang
