I got to hand it to the producers of BoP. Despite going scissor happy on the original source material, after watching on Youtube "Attack of the Terrapin" (gawd where did they dredge the name lol!), a lot of effort was made to make the story as seamless as possible. As we all grew up with the series, back then it really struck a cord within our kid fantasy psyche. Even today, no series (American produced) could ever come close (well back in the mid and late 80s it was different).
I'm really surprised as how large the difference is between the Gatchaman version was and BoP. Same can be said with G-Force. A bit of tweaking on the dialogue and the story is given a 360 degree turn around. I remember in the cross country race between Joe and the Galactor defector. In Gatchaman, Katse was hot to press her destruct button while in G-Force, "Galactor" had second thoughts. And the sight of blood. Most of the time, especially in the last episodes, blood splatters were nearly everywhere.....that's good lol! But there was a scene in early episodes where a Galacter soldier falls on a torture rack meant for Ken. The rack had some spikes on it but when the soldier got impaled, he had green blood(why?).
On some technical issues of the SFW version.
SFW too had some technical goofs in the dialogue where the Turtleking commander shouts "Now!" in the Japanese dialogue and says "Galactor" in the english dub. Another issue I noticed in the episode where Katse's origins where being dredged up, in a scene (SPOILERS) with the sumo assassin in the prison, you can hear in the english track Jun shouting "Yoyo strike!" even before both she and Ken appears.
This is by no means make me a nitpicker with too much free time in my hands, because like Berg Katse before Sosai X, i bow before Ā ADV/SFW for undertaking this reissue after nearly 8 years....finally.......I got the entire collection. Thank you very much guys!
