Voyage Into Space
Earth is invaded by an interstellar terrorist group, Big Fire (the Gargoyle Gang in the American version), led by Emperor Guillotine who spends most of his time in a multicolored space ship hidden at the bottom of Earth's ocean, from which he issues his orders. Big Fire is capturing scientists to create an army of monsters to conquer Earth. A boy named Daisaku Kusama (Johnny Sokko in the American version) and a young Unicorn agent named Jūrō Minami (Jerry Mano in the American version) are shipwrecked on an island after being attacked by a sea monster and subsequently captured by Big Fire. They flee to where a Pharaoh-like giant robot is being built by captive scientist Lucius Guardian, who gives Daisaku and Jūrō its control device. Guardian helps them escape before he is shot to death; before he dies, he triggers an atomic bomb which destroys the base. The radiation activates the robot, which now obeys only Daisaku.

Too much of everything
Excellent but underrated film
Beautiful, moving film.
A terrific literary drama and character piece that shows how the process of creating art can be seen differently by those doing it and those looking at it from the outside.
I first saw this movie when I was about 12 or 13 years old. It's incredibly cool. However, I think IMDb got it wrong- I believe the movie consists of 5 episodes of Johnny Sokko and his Flying Robot, not 4. The episodes in the movie are as follows:Episode 1 - Dracolon - The Great Sea Monster.Episode 2 - Nucleon - The Magic Globe.Episode 10 - The Transformed Humans.Episode 17 - Destroy the Dam.Episode 26 - The Last of Emperor Guillotine.All of the Johnny Sokko episodes are available to watch on Hulu. So if you want to re-live Voyage Into Space, watch the above-listed episodes.
I remember this movie when I was a kid and I am not the only one. And the thing that I really like is that most of the people who have made any comments on this movie remembers seeing it on channel 5 ktla out of LA. I remember that they would show this movie on that weekend show, family film festival. I would love to see this movie in in its entirety. I have seen individual episodes on Netflix, but it is still fun to see this day. Watching them and remembering the Giant Robot with the missiles coming out of the tips of his fingers and how he would fight. Great stuff from a by gone age of film making. I would not like to see a remake of this today. I believe that they would mess it up with CGI and it would lose all that charm the first show and film had. It would be a sad day for Voyage into Space fans everywhere.
I remember running home from school almost every day to catch KTLA's channel 5 monster movies, but never did I run home faster then when this movie was scheduled. Somehow, the idea of being a boy and having a giant robot as a friend appealed to me in a very unique way. Sure, I pretended to be Spiderman, Batman and other superheros, but I really wanted to be Johnny Sakko over any of them. I have not seen this movie in 30 years and I can still remember it vividly. Who can forget the way Giant Robot shot missiles out of his fingers. Or how about the way Ghuillotene threw his fingernails to blow things up. Geez, I can even still whistle the theme music that plays at the end, which is so tragic that I remember crying myself to sleep a number of times!Only one other movie has the kind of magic that this movie does in my mind and that is the Wizard of Oz. But I have seen that movie many times since I was a kid. Of course, the Wizard of Oz is a true classic whereas Voyage Into Space is low budget nonsense. These two films shouldn't even be mentioned in the same sentence, but to a young boy, it isn't high production values or continuity that capture your heart, its flying monkeys and giant robots!
It has been the one movie that my brothers and I were allowed to stay up late to watch. It would sure be great to find a copy. The one movie from my childhood I enjoyed. Its nice to read that there are a lot of people who enjoyed it as much as we did. It would be cool to be able to invite my brothers and their kids over for dinner and this movie. Help me find it please!
