The folks at Toho liked the idea (G vs a giant robot), so they had some other guy re-write the script to make it an original IP. Apparently the writer wasn't really that proud of the work since the name "Alan Smithee" appears with a writers credit.<br /><br />If you didn't like the movie, I'd suggest you should hunt down the manga adaptation by Asamiya Kia. It makes much more sense and even has plot points that were deleted from the film. And best of all, no football crowd cheering.<br /><br />Heck, after a quick search, I found a place where you can read it: http://www.mangafox.com/manga/gunhed/MikPalnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1135815543912646655.post-74653624195864423152012-01-11T09:47:48.787-05:002012-01-11T09:47:48.787-05:00another great post from sketcz...another great post from sketcz...Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
