Classmates believed Johhny was the kid and Socko was Jerry Mano. They argued Jerry was too important not to be in the title, english grammar be dammned. <br /><br />Another kid broke my heart by talking about seeing a man shoot bullets from his fingertips on the show. Only latter I happily realized he didn't have a vocabulary for robot. :)sunilnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7118098779778491600.post-62988398184514410572009-10-28T16:00:19.964-07:002009-10-28T16:00:19.964-07:00I think had he been in a better movie, he would ha...I think had he been in a better movie, he would have done all kinds of things that he chose not to in this one :-)memsaabhttp://memsaabstory.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7118098779778491600.post-26953193008647346582009-10-28T15:12:10.369-07:002009-10-28T15:12:10.369-07:00I kind of thought that was the case, but I'm j...I kind of thought that was the case, but I'm just going to go on believing that he could talk anyway.Toddhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15890338576052689861noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7118098779778491600.post-77545222506665329072009-10-28T14:46:51.456-07:002009-10-28T14:46:51.456-07:00Sadly Zippy did not speak, that is somebody else&#...Sadly Zippy did not speak, that is somebody else's subtitle.<br /><br />But he did outperform both Dilip Kumar AND Dev Anand, which is no small feat.memsaabhttp://memsaabstory.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7118098779778491600.post-59090339580021183842009-10-28T14:09:26.187-07:002009-10-28T14:09:26.187-07:00As an addendum: That Wikipedia article pointed out...As an addendum: That Wikipedia article pointed out Emperor Guillotine's resemblance to Cthulhu, which really makes me wish I'd reviewed an episode of <i>Johnny Sokko</i> for Teleport City's Lovecraft month.<br /><br />Also, fun fact: Yumiko Katayama, who played the lone female member of the Unicorn organization, went on to be a sort of go-to girl for gratuitous nudity in Toei's Pinky Violence movies from the 70s.Toddhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15890338576052689861noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7118098779778491600.post-32103023948345159292009-10-28T14:02:14.966-07:002009-10-28T14:02:14.966-07:00You'll probably find more information if you s...You'll probably find more information if you search for it under its <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Giant_Robo_(tokusatsu)" rel="nofollow">original Japanese name</a>.

I just haven't gotten around to watching it yet. One of the reasons for that is that, despite the lure of Moti's presence, nothing that you've said about it indicates that it's a particularly good film!
