    Storyline

    Did you know

    • Trivia
      The show is based on the Japanese anime Gatchaman (1972), from which most of the footage was taken. To make it appealing for the American audience, this adaption was heavily edited by removing elements like graphic violence and profanity. To offset the removed content, the character 7-Zark-7 was added for the purpose to tie the altered story together.
    • Quotes
      • [opening narration]
      • Narrator: Battle of the Planets! G-Force, five incredible young people with superpowers! And watching over them from Centre Neptune, 7-Zark-7! Watching, warning against surprise attacks by alien galaxies from beyond space. G-Force! Fearless young orphans, protecting Earth's entire galaxy. Always five, acting as one. Dedicated! Inseparable! Invincible!
    • Alternate versions
      The UK DVD box set of the entire series contains several alternative versions of several episodes:
      • 'Battle of the Planets: The Movie', a 68 minute feature editing together several episodes onto one storyline: 'Attack of the Space Terrapin', 'Big Robot Gold Grab', 'Ghost Ship of Planet Mir' and the 'Invasion of Space Centre' episodes'. The G-Fore team's adventures here are all earthbound, and include scenes of violence and loss of life originally edited from the TV series. 7 Zark 7 is played by David Bret Egen instead of Alan Young.
      • 'Mini Feature', a 40 minute short combining the 'Invasion of Space Centre' episodes. This feature includes violence and loss of life originally cut out of the TV series. It also includes an alternative character introduction separate from the TV series, and a new club version of the theme music.
      • The episode 'Rescue of the Astronauts', with an additional character introduction, introduction sequence and the club version of the theme music.
