4.0 out of 5 stars A forgotten classic!, July 19, 2007

This review is from: Tobor 8th Man 4 [VHS] (VHS Tape)

Another way to jog the memory of baby boomers (at least the boys anyway) is to pop in a tape of Tobor 8th Man! A murdered policeman is brought back to life as a robot and procedes to fight super villians, this was 25 years before Robocop! No doubt this forgotten gem of a cartoon from the early 60's was the inspiration for Robocop. While it may seem lame by today's standards, it was first rate in its day. Plus it was smart for a kid's cartoon, the characters had some depth and emotion. A forgotten sci-fi classic. I just wish it were available on DVD!
