I vaguely recall watching this on cable and I just chalked it up as misremembering something else.

The only, ONLY, part of this film I remember was him ordering a burger from a drive-through and how the Burger got into the suit.

>>15299270
What about the bit where he needed to piss, but since the alien race that created the race were midgets the piss tube popped out somewhere around the torso and he needed to go get help from his teacher to shift it.

>>15299275
This movie is defo fever dream material.

It could've been a lot worse for one of the earliest western live action anime adaptations.

>>15300009
God the new Megazord is just so goddamn ugly.

Why can't we burgers design good giant robots?

>>15300021
I think it's because we have two mindsets when it comes to technology:
Grungy realism
Smooth high techness with lots of blippy lights

That said I don't particularly mind that one with the X on it

>>15300021
Burgers don't understand motif at all. Art in the west is dead. The best concept artists are usually chinamen or badasians who were taught over there and then brought over.

And then their skill is wasted by monkeys who consider themselves directors or art directors.

Not the first few films. The designers were primarily based in the US and Canada.

>>15300021
Half-assed attempts at realism look more fake than pure fiction. And Hollywood loves nothing more than flashy tacticool bullshit that only impresses 12-year-olds and Chinese peasants.

>>15300109
Bayformer Starscream looks alright until it starts transforming.
Because by then it's just a F-22 and not an junk pile of moving parts.

>>15300009
PacRim and Megazord I recognized, but what movies were the other two from?

I'm probably the only one here that remembers Super Force. It was this early 90's show where an astronaut wears this kickass power armor with a gravitational field.

ground beef

>>15299499
I'm surprised it came before the TMNT live-action movie considering the style.
>>15299924
A hundred times over.

You have five seconds to explain how all those Netflix Marvel shows aren't Toku in every sense of the word

>>15300683
I don't recall the ninjas exploding when Daredevil beat them. I kinda want that now, though.

Does wrasslin' count or is that more along the lines of theater/stage production?

>>15300694
Depends on the promotion. Lucha Underground and Hustle are definitely up there though.

>>15300941
Changeman, too.

I remember I saw Star Kid early one morning before high school. I really had little to no exposure to mecha fiction. The neural control interface blew my mind.

Fuck I hate that kid though

The one with an X on its chest comes from a terrible Disney TV show about little kids piloting a robot, however was mecha is barely in it and it just devolves into a Disney live action kids show that on rare occasions features a very poorly rendered mecha.

>>15301092
Was this on fox kids? Because your post is making me feel like I'm having a stroke since I don't know what this is but recognize it.

I remember the burger ball and lifting up a car

>>15301138
Yes yes it was on FoxKids

>>15301327
I remember the shitty visual effects and the images from your post is burned into my brain. I think I had the toys too, just like how I was the only person with masked rider toys.

God damn you, I'm not sure I wanted to remember this show.

They did that wrestling show too. What was that called again?

>muh motif
That's not the issue, and its one of the problems current sentai designs has. You can do a good design without sticking to a motif as seen in most pre jetman suits and mechs.
I agree burgers dont understand motifs, but they could be good without doing so.

>>15301794
I just remember it being offensively cheap. Even at the age of 10 I know how low budget it was.

But I watched it because Turbine was cute.

>>15299340
...but Gundam IS in space

>>15301809
>DUNE
>Anywhere near light novel trash

Dune is a fucking literary masterpiece, you unlearned negroid. Dune is a seminal cultural achievement, a powerful and influential tour de force of a novel with direction, style, and a masterful hand. It's a legend on paper and you will GROVEL before its eight hundred pages, like the spice-addicted whore you are. How fucking dare you insinuate that Dune is an 'american light novel'? It's a classic that will be remembered for the next ten centuries, while in ten years no one will remember your shitty little nipponese loser's romance. Dune was an original story that set the standard for the whole damn genre of science fiction. Hard to see that any Japanese borderline fanfic light 'novels' can say the same.

SPOILER: Mark Hamill is not the Guyver, unlike the sequel where David "Burger Snake" Hayter is the Guyver.

>>15299088
... That is a very, very rapey face up on the left.
It doesn't look so much as being something that kicks ass so much as being something that fondles and forcefully penetrates the ass in a dark corner of a preschool in kansas.

Dinosaurs TV series might count as a toku family drama if you stretch the description. Weirdly enough. Its before the Jurassic Park craze.

>>15305032
Despite how weird saying this is, I absolutely love that show and all the animatronics in it.
The fact that there's pretty much three people to each character is astounding and I'm amazed they managed to last as long as they did.
