Ah yes, I thought some of that footage looked familiar. Funny how these things get around.

Nice to have a positive spin on some of the obvious knockoffs. While the originals are arguably superior in most cases, it doesn't mean the knockoffs aren't good - when done well.

12.18.2010 - 01:41 | Matthew GAAAAAH IT'S THE SPACE THUNDER KIDS!

That movie cracks me up.

12.18.2010 - 01:55 | Bushido_von
so thats where they got most of the stock footage from hmm

Oh snap! I was sitting there thinking the whole time "Huh? Didn't Maruz Girl review it? Were are the gundom and macros rip offs? Why dose this plot sound like it accualy makes sense?"

I thought I reckognized the clips they used in Space Thunder Kids XD
Awesome video man.
-
12.18.2010 - 02:35 | TrencherThis does not look too bad Dr. Butler looks like a cool villian. Great video.

I also noticed that these were the clips in Space Thunder Kids. Never would have guessed that you'd happen to talk about one of the movies that clips were taken from.
Another good episode Ed. I always find it interesting how other cultures spin American movies to make it work for their respective culture.
-
12.18.2010 - 02:54 | ShmooglavoueNow we know why Space Thunder Kids made no sense. Some idiot decided to splice a bunch of different animated movies together. Much has been revealed.
With that said, I wonder what the original source of the epic "robot punching a dude through a spaceship" scene was.
-
12.18.2010 - 11:19 | Ed GlaserI'm not positive, but that one might be "Protectors of Universe".

I always enjoy your work Ed. This episode in particular for showing me a piece of my own culture I didn't know about.
-
12.18.2010 - 11:20 | Ed GlaserThanks!

I have to say Dark Maze makes some of the highest production quality videos for the site. Even if the video is a topic I'm not super interested in I always find myself watching.
-
12.18.2010 - 11:20 | Ed GlaserThanks very much!

This animation company will not stop following this website around.

Another Quality Product from Dark Maze Studios.
And it's a pity that they took this Tron-inspired movie and stitched it together with some giant robot and Space movies to make a plotless mess called Space Thunder kids.
Although that toilet attendant did look kinda familiar...
Great stuff, "Lars". End of Line.

12.18.2010 - 11:21 | Ed Glaser:-D

Ed looks so happy in these! :D

12.18.2010 - 06:54 | Poisonpen
Another movie going to show it is ALWAYS the Butler that did it.
-
12.18.2010 - 07:15 | 10.0.0.1very nice review, I actually want to see this one now.
-
12.18.2010 - 07:24 | Salen
Holy crap! It's using animation STRAIGHT from Space Thunder Kids! Wow, Korea rips off not only Tron, but their own animation! Now that's lazy.
-
12.18.2010 - 11:23 | Ed GlaserActually it's the other way around. "Space Thunder Kids" uses clips from this movie -- and it was a Hong Kong producer who put STK together.

I've never been a big fan of Tron but I found this review very interesting.
Also it's interesting why the korean 'rip offs' have been made (I knew of the Japanese occupying Korea).
On the other hand, since there are more than one reviewers on TGWTG ripping the animated movies apart, it's easy to notice how bad they are made and how often they reuse characters and animation.
This is as lazy as sad.
However, thanks for the nice video. Very interesting as entertaining.
-
12.18.2010 - 08:38 | DeltoraShort, to-the-point, yet still fun and educational.
I always love your videos Ed, you make a good reviewer/host.
-
12.18.2010 - 11:23 | Ed GlaserThanks Deltora!

Where's the Autobots!

12.18.2010 - 09:29 | STICKMAN71
Oh my god. In space thunder kids(a review by spoony and sage) They stole footage from this and presumably other korean knockoffs!
-
12.18.2010 - 09:53 | ezfreemann
hey man, i really like your vids, and your on-camera presence is totally professional, enjoyable, and like-able. keep up the good work. ive watched all your vids and you are totally entertaining and fun to watch! good luck, cuz u deserve to be exposed to even wider audiences.
-
12.18.2010 - 11:23 | Ed GlaserAw, thanks very much!

As soon as that weird doll and the pirate lady appear I say to myself...isn´t that from Space Thunder Kids?
-
12.18.2010 - 11:39 | WiiStation360
I thought some of those scenes looked familiar. That explains the inconsistent animation in Space Thunder Kids.
-
12.18.2010 - 12:20 | Nephilim
Wow... Never knew this existed...
As always very informative Ed :)
I've been wondering btw, do you have any releases planned in the same vein as Turkish Rambo?
-
12.18.2010 - 14:54 | GamermageParts of Korean Tron was used to make Space Thunder kids? I thought that footage looked familar....
-
12.18.2010 - 15:36 | ElementalHero
Say Ed, speaking of animated Korean films that took elements from Japanese cartoons, did you by any chance see that one that started it all Taekwon V?
-
12.18.2010 - 16:10 | Ed GlaserI haven't! Although I did some research on it for this episode.
I definitely need to see it; I know it got a restoration a few years back.
-
12.18.2010 - 16:54 | Fluffyman
I'm certain the main guy still makes that strange face after being told "Let's see how good you really are."
-
12.18.2010 - 17:43 | Doresh
I knew that the Mazinger ripoff footage from Space Thunder Kids is from an entirely different movie (thanks to MasakoX ), but the TRON ripoff AND the Captain Harlock ripoff come from the same movie Oo ?
Speaking of: Every friggin scene from Space Thunder Kids has its own shitty movie?! OH GOD!
