ROBOTECH: The Movie - 1/9

Part 1 of 9

The Harmony Gold dub of the original MEGAZONE 23 was adapted and cut together with footage from SUPER DIMENSION CAVALRY SOUTHERN CROSS, to make ROBOTECH: THE MOVIE. A new ending was produced by the studio who animated MEGAZONE 23 and thus resulted in the first batch of animation created for a ROBOTECH project.

ROBOTECH: THE MOVIE was set for a wide release, but was pulled after a test screening in Texas. The movie saw release in several other countries before Harmony Gold's license to MEGAZONE 23 ran out and decided not to renew it. ROBOTECH: THE MOVIE thus has been neglected to secondary continuity within the ROBOTECH universe.

Due to the highely unlikely possibility of this film ever being released again in the future, I've decided to upload it here for those who haven't seen it. However, please support the MEGAZONE franchise by buying the original chapter and see what was edited out and changed to make ROBOTECH: THE MOVIE and help support the anime industry. Please support the anime industry by purchasing anime rather then just downloading them.

What's with the Star Wars style credits, the UK version of the 1987 Transformers Movie did the exact same thing. WTF! Wouldn't George Lucas had sued them by now?

[MegazoneTwoThree]

George Lucas can sue them for "stealing" something that he himself also stole. The scrolling credits/story telling gimmick was done years before Star Wars in serials that Lucas himself watched as a child. In fact, Star Wars itself is more or less made up of things that influenced Lucas.

Was the tune from 3:25 released on a soundtrack, and if so, what's its title?

[MegazoneTwoThree]

That track hasn't been released on any soundtrack as it is believed the original master to it has been destroyed.

[Jacarter99]

wow a movie worse than shadow chronicles

[demoskunk]

wow, this is embarrassing...

what a hack-job!

[giubi1632]

what?



[MegazoneTwoThree]

I'd rather he didn't, he has already proven three times (soon to be four times) with the Transformers franchise that he is more interested in everything else but the source material.

[Crimson Cloud]

The movie is not bad, but since it's hacking the superb Megazone 23 I just can't acknowledge this work...

[Dredge Pony]

Well.... that escalated quikly

[ASLANRUA]

Finally i found that robotech music. Robotech is a real legend

[danefjord]

I really do hope they will find/release the tune from 3:25 or if someone talented musician can replicate it. It's just plain awsome and a childhood memory.

[maleiva]

The best of movie is the music.
