Battle of the Planets, Vol. 2 - The Space Mummy / The Space Serpent [DVD]

This gives you a look at how this show has been edited to make it suitable for younger audiences. The music from battle of the planets makes it more dramatic and enjoyable. The music is missing from the G Force edit. The original cartoon is too violent for younger kids hence Battle of the planets.

Item was as described. Good Quality. Fast Shipment.

To bad they won't release the Sandy Frank dubs of this cartoon on Blu-Ray. They released Gatchaman, but they aren't no Sandy Frank dubs.

the edition of this dvd is really disappointing, beside the content of the dvd's is very poor and non-attractive.... a pitty that they didn't make a better edition for such a good tv animation serie. Let's hope they make it better next time.

Awesome. Can't wait to watch it.

EXCELLENT

This DVD contains two original broadcasted episodes of Battle of the Planets, the original Japanese version of two episodes as Science Ninja Team Gatchaman and one episode of G-Force in three languages. My review will go threw each feature.Battle of the Planets: Episode 3Content: B+Animation: BMusic: BEnglish Script: BAction Scenes: B+When 7-Zark-7 discovers a new planet, he discovers a numerous amount of plane crashes on his new planet, Zarcadia. He sends out G-Force to find out the problem. After Mark meets up with Dr. Sweet and his nephew Buddy, Mark discovers a giant mummy is causing all the plane crashes. Later, Dr. Sweet's brother returns disguised as Zoltar, head of Spectra. Zoltar wants Dr. Sweets anti-pluton, but Mark wont let him have it. And the mummy attacking the plane station is a perfect chance to try out the anti-pluton.Edits: Sweet's brother's plane crash scene, gun pointed at Buddy's head, scenes of mummy crushes planes edited down.Battle of the Planets: Episode 4Content: A-Animation: B+Music: BEnglish Script: C+Action Sequences: B+When Dr. Harlem is killed by a giant centipede made by Zoltar, his daughter, Debbie, wants to seek revenge. So Mark brings Debbie along on the mission to destroy the centipede.Edits: Debbie put in bed scene edited out, Debbie does NOT press the button in the end.Gatchaman: Episode 3Content: A-Music: BJapanese Script: B+Action Sequences: B+Same plot as episode three with a few name changes. The Japanese version has more zing to it and the screaming from all the people at the airport when the mummy attacks is almost dead on.Gatchaman: Episode 4Content: A-Music: BJapanese Script: A-Action Sequences: B+The voices really sound great in this episode. And give a few hints that Ken might have a girlfriend.G-Force: Episode 102Content: A-Animation: A-Music: B+English Script: B+Spanish Script: BPortugese Script: B+Action Sequences: A-After the G-Force gets out of another daring escape, they come head to head with one of Galactor's henchmen. And uncover a secret at the bottom of the ocean.Overall, a good disc that is just as great as the last. Highly recommended.

Lots of other reviews here do an excellent job covering the content of this DVD. I just wanted to mention that there is a slight technical problem with this DVD (and the rest of vols. 1-4). The English language track on the G-Force episode is virtually inaudible, which is a real disappointment and knocked the DVD down a star. I tried on two different players (Pioneer DV-626D and Playstation 2), and they both have the same trouble. I even wrote in to Rhino's technical support and they kindly exchanged the discs for me, but sadly, the replacement discs are the same way. I just wanted to put out the warning here. The rest of the disc is fine and has great content - it's just that one problematic audio track.
