"G-Force: Guardians of Space" (1986) - Ep.6 (Part 1 of 3)

[Orbot]

I believe this is being made into a cg film! Anyway, one of the BEST from the 80's! Man, I loved being an 80's kid, we had the BEST cartoons and toys!

[killersushi99]

PeeWee?? WTF! Thats Keyop fool! What is this crap? Some kind of remastered video?

[landoblu]

I also think it is HIGHLY unfair that Durke has to get to the piloting area manually by pulling himself along those rails...

[landoblu]

Is it Ace alone who always says "G-Force transform"? does Durke or any other of the other 3 get featured saying the phrase? And I maybe I am abt to be technical but I realize the when G1 said the phrase his plane transformed too. Is there any site I can go to read about G-Force, their abilities and what knot?

[landoblu]

From what I have seen I prefer G-Force to the others. The intro(music) is not crappy as others think (well they are entitled to their opinions). The upbeat tempo is very nice- for the lack of a better word.

[cerritoboy]

G-Force is protecting the banksters and the interests of the rich and powerful. Fuck that!

[HumanDaikon]

They cut my favorite part of this episode from the original out of this version. NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

[bold4536]

i love watching this since i was 10 years old have not watched this in a long time, thanks for putting this up and bringing back old memories.

[tru2daflu]

i heard of a gatchaman movie coming out. but it is computer animated i think not live action.

[Orbot]

@tru2daflu I believe that's true! I saw a trailer for it here on youtube, and yes, it was in cg (which I think is a good idea)!

[Orbot]

@tru2daflu Oh yeah, and too bad they can't actually call the movie "G-Force!" Unfortunately, Disney saw fit to take the name, and attach it to a movie with s"pecially trained" gerbils......such foolishness, lol!

[nahablack]

im so happy to have found these on youtube! i just gave it a try and here they are...thanks super adventure for posting this for the true fans!! i hate that this is being made into a live action film...is it going to be american or japanese...if its american then i dont want to see it; were just going to mess it up...if anyone is going to make it, let the japanese do it...i wouldnt want the japanese making a superman movie!!! i love speed racer and saw what we did to that story.

[nevadawolf619]

@nahablack

Really!? When did you hear them making this into a live action film? I would love to see that. I use to watch these shows way back in the early 80's every morining before I went to school. I loved these shows. I think the U.S would do great job making this into a film. The Japanese just don't have the reputation for making great films. Just my opinion....

[nahablack]

i work at disney in animation and i was tellng my friends about how i was surfing on youtube and found the old episodes of "g-force". i didnt know that it was called "battle of the planets" and originally "gatchaman" in japan. japans is more serious than the american version i was telling them; death, cussing, jun is getting "b-slapped" by ken or joe! thats when they told me that there was going to be a live action film coming out! we all started complaining about how it will turn out...

[nevadawolf619]

Yeah, I see what you mean. I've never seen the japaniese version. When they make this, I would like the live action film on to be more adult oriented. It would suck if they bubblegum it to PG rating status.

[Sweetmervs]

@nevadawolf619 But remember they made a movie out of Cowboy Bebop? Where in American can you see a cartoons made for adults?

[redsomister]

who is your favorite character? mine was Ace and still is

[fyahfusion]

but if the plan is to destroy all of earth, wtf does galactor want with gold

[o0splitpaw0o]

started the 2008 recession

[petew11]

LOL i agree

[aegisgfx]

hey I have an idea, let force a re-inflation of that bubble by borrowing money from future generations, locking them into a cycle of debt slavery long before they are even born!!

[amon2365]

which is the episode where agatha june gets caught in that garden where there is that flower thingy while there is a fire going on? i remember that was the last episode i saw 14 years ago and never saw what happened after that. i would like to see what happened to her......

[SuperAdventures]

That was a two-parter: Episode 39 ("The Monster Plants") and Episode 40 ("Those Fatal Flowers"). Try searching for Gatchaman Episodes 39 & 40 here on YouTube, they should be available either in sub or English (a different version from this G-Force version that is). The plot between "Gatchaman" and "G-Force" is more or less identical save for different names and voices.

[Hellcure]

I remember when i was younger i wanted to be just like em this is a nice classic and in english too!

[ShadeDracos]

Nice! Brings back memories.

[TiteNYC]

aww man, this brings back good memories

[cornerstone111]

This was one of my favourite cartoons as a kid.

[aegisgfx]

Me too. And now their gonna make it into a really crappy movie, just fantastic.

[jtrouveroy]

geez... that background music is driving me mad! is that always the same tune over and over?

[SuperAdventures]

Unfortunately, with the exception of episodes 18 ("The Whale Submarine") and 87 ("Galactor's Deadly Trap") which are "pilot" episodes with more of a variation in music, yes this synthesized backbeat plays in the background of all 85 episodes of "G-Force".

It's purpose was to fill in silent, music-less gaps from the original Japanese version's (Gatchaman) soundtrack. The producers intended to include more music for this purpose, but (believe it or not) could only afford this ONE TUNE.

[SuperAdventures]

This is without a shadow of the doubt people's biggest gripe about "G-Force" (repetitive synth music), and is one of the main reasons why people either prefer "Battle of the Planets" over it or just straight-up hate it. Even myself, a big "G-Force: Guardians of Space" fan, can see why.

[jtrouveroy]

it does NOT amaze me one bit...

[SuperAdventures]

In case you didn't notice, the synth backbeat is basically the instrumental version to the "G-Force" Opening/Ending theme song..........looped over and over and over until the original, orchestrated Gatchaman music starts playing. And then it starts playing again JUST as that finishes! XD

[Gatchman109]

watch Battle of the planets it doesnt have background music and if it does have in some epsiodes which it does its really low and not to noticable

[Gatchman109]

It actualy is noticable but not as anoying as this ones background music because Battle of the planets changes it depending on the situation

[Sweetmervs]

@jtrouveroy The reason it does not amaze you one bit is/was because you never saw this anime/cartoons? What a shame.

[esgeddes]

I remember watching this in the late 70s or early 80s? When did this first come out? Definitely not 1986. My friends and I loved this cartoon. This and StarBlazers were our favorites!!!! I had almost forgotten about these. Thanks for posting!

[danmick73]

I'm glad to hear I'm not going crazy... Jason Mark and Princess were the only ones I remembered, but I was pretty sure those were their names.

[skirlin07]

Yeah, this is the one. I was also looking for the Mark character names. I did not know about this version?

[darskinner]

Does anyone remember the version where their names are Mark, Jason, Keyop Princess and Tiny? Or am I thinking of different cartoon.

[RodonC]

Yea ur right. I was thrown off by the names on this one. Wonder when and y they did that.

[darskinner]

I checked wikipedia and discovered that there are a lot of different versions and names for these characters. Wow what doesn't wiki know lol!

[faustia44]

I remember...and they said "Transmute" not transform....and didn't Keyop stammer also?

[darskinner]

Yeah Transmute was used in the one I watched, and Keyop did stammer usually saying gup gup gup and a weird purring sound and then talk.

[faustia44]

And Galactor??? "Spectra" Right?

[darskinner]

yeah wow the memories! lol

[PakistanF16]

Battle Of The Planets

[starpointe]

the name you are looking is "Battle of the Planets"

[pob1gina]

i tells ya, me and my big brother where just watching a film called "interstellar 5555" and just thought how cool that animation was and would it ever compare to g-force for pure stylish cheeseyness and yes it does, used to love this as kid and still do.

[jp86mc]

know it sounds cheesy but this used to be the coolest cartoon ever to me i wish theyd remake it

[DahnHaes]

wow i remembered this when i was a kid. now watchin it agin after 10 years seeing cheesy dialogue and stiff animation what i thought was then cool. yet i still like it. really old school stuff

[fhergul]

Anyone know where I can get all these on DVD or VHS?

[Civicarlos]

for 47 bucks plus shipping you can have the complete serie plus the ovas relesead in 1994 do a youtube search for this video for more info

"Fuerza G (Gatchman) Serie Completa + Ovas - Opening Latino"

[trideegurl2]

unfotunalty the whole series of "g-force" doesnt seem to be available. I went on Amazon and I'm going to order the entire "Gathcaman" series (its the same thing) but you can buy the dvd "The best of G-Force" which has a few G-Force episodes

[a12aneo]

has CN philippines are going to air this anime in the near future along w/ gatchaman?
