Synopsis

Review BUBBLEGUM CRASH #1 (Manga Video, 48 mins, cert 15, ｣9.99) This is Manga Video's own dubbed production of the sequel series to Bubblegum Crisis. A gang of hi-tech mercenaries are using battle armour suits to raid banks in Mega Tokyo. The outgunned AD Police are powerless to prevent them. The Knight Sabers have been quietly pursuing their various careers, but they reform when alerted to the new menace, and a violent showdown occurs. The 'Crash' episodes form a less than satisfactory sequel to 'Crisis'. Manga Video's production in CRASH #1 is quite satisfactory as far as it goes, but the material is lacking. In the sequel, the capabilities of the "Boomer" androids are played down, even though they had frightening abilities in the original series. The new stories are flashy and violent without ever being particularly convincing. Verdict: a miss. BUBBLEGUM CRASH #3 (Manga Video, 46 mins, cert 12, ｣9.99) This is the last BGC episode to date, a sparky episode in which the boomers (androids) used as industrial labour, incited by a robot leader, revolt in a attempt to take over Tokyo and destroy all humans. Then the Knight Sabers face three almost unbeatable 'boomers' as the mastermind behind their recent adventures finally reveals himself, and launches a drilling machine against a nuclear reactor sited under Tokyo Bay, threatening massive destruction. There is lots of action, not unmixed with humour, as our heroines sort out the robots and then fall into the cluches of more formidable opponents. It concludes with an unexpectedly cogent message about mankind's impact on our planet. Much of the interest derives from previously established characterisations. The dialogue has an unfortunate tendency to state the obvious, otherwise this is an entertaining episode which should not disappoint fans of the series.
