The movie detailed a future where, like in the movie Terminator, technological advances get out of hand and mankind's destiny is controlled by a ruling robot, BK-1. A resistance cell of freedom fighters attempt to overthrow the robot's cruel rein of terror and free man once and for all. Along with a new weapon developed by Luna, the mysterious android Casshan, his android dog and the rest of the rebel forces, mankind finally has a chance. The box cover says: "In a desperate attempt to save themselves, mankind created a superhuman race of machines called Neo-roids, only the robots have taken total control over the Earth, enslaving Man to the point of near extinction.
All is not lost however. A beacon of light shines in an age of darkness, for a man-machine with extraordinary powers gives new hope to the masses. The time has come to take back control-the time has come for Casshan: Robot Hunter."

Picture: The show was presented in full frame 1.33:1 ratio and looked it's age. The picture looked better than it ever did on the Sci-Fi Channel but still pretty weak.

Sound: The audio was in Dolby Digital 2.0 Stereo but didn't sound like anything other than mono. Like the picture, the limitations of the source material prevented ADV from doing much with it.

Extras: There were some ADV trailers and a paper insert.

Final Thoughts: I'd like to have seen the original series released in a single boxed set rather than another Macek slash job but I can't write this one off completely. The movie borrowed heavily from several mainstream hit movies, including The Bridge Over The River Kwai, and while it's a far cry from most of their other back catalog releases, it's worth a rental for fans.
