9/10
Everything you could want in cheesy dated poorly-dubbed fun...

I've seen this mentioned in other posts that, "Johnny Sokko and His Flying Robot", instilled in them a love for monsters at a young age. Ditto, here. Who can forget a gigantic 'eye monster' that sucked things into its pupil? Other ludicrous monsters were so ridiculous-looking you couldn't help but laugh out loud (even then!), and make you play a 'spot the zipper' game. I just found out that Johnny's voice was a woman's and, quite sadly, the actor who played him is no longer with us, passing in 1997. The robot's weaponry was incredible, even in today's terms. Rockets from fingertips, a ray emitted from its metallic eyes, and an 'atomic punch' all kicked monster butt. Oh yeah, he flies and can even go underwater (I think).

I'm watching an episode right now, as I type. The Robot is fighting a monster called Tyrox, who sports dreadlocks-like something-or-others on its head that would make a Rastafarian jealous! A masterpiece!!
