JOHNNY SOKKO AND HIS FLYING ROBOT

(1969)

An alien space craft crashes into the Pacific Ocean, carrying the evil Emperor Guillotine from the planet Gargoyle; who plans to conquer Earth. A young boy and a writer who meet on a cruise liner; witness from the ocean depths, one of Guillotine's monsters. The boy and writer jump over board before the ship is destroyed. They wash up on a remote island, where they are captured and taken prisoners. While escaping they find a 100 foot tall robot. The robot just finished now only needs atomic power to activate his brain and a voice pattern to command it. Whoever talks first into the miniature transmitter in the form of a watch will control the Giant Robot. This series uses the Japanese series "Giant Robo", with scripts rewritten, names changed, and voices duped for the USA and Australian audiences. In addition, a telemovie "Voyage Into Space" was screened. It was made by re-editing episodes from the series.
