Another question!


Hi, there, I've only had time to briefly browse the forum -- but I need help with an episode as well! There's been some great posts, and I thought I'd give it a shot! Thanks in advance for any help!

I practically grew up on this show saturday mornings in the 70s, when it was called Battle of the Planets... but there was one episode that "warped my fragile little mind"! ;)

Which was the episode where the leader was attacked by robot safari animals, while driving with a girl that he had met, and then later, over wine on a date that night, they're practically confessing their emotions to one another when she breaks her glass, crushes it in her hand, her face goes gray, and she says: "Robots... aren't supposed to have emotions...!" And crashes out the wall, plummeting to her death, leaving our hero to stare out after her. Yikes!

That would at least point me in the right direction...

Thanks again!

Hi all!

The episode you're thinking of is episode #27, "Gallactor's Witch Racer," which can be found on the 5th volume of the Gatchaman DVDs released here by ADV Films. In Battle of the Planets, this episode was called "Race Against Disaster," and can be found on the Battle of the Planets Ultimate DVD Boxed Set released here by Rhino Home Video. Both of these DVDs are now out of print, but can be found used with a little effort.
