Introduction
Mysterious incidents involving giant robots kidnapping high-level athletes have started occurring all over the world. Dr. Kim suspects his former colleague, the often-ridiculed Dr. Kaff, is the mastermind behind these events. Though he has no proof, he knows that only Dr. Kaff possesses the scientific knowledge and disdain for society required to pull off such a plan. Thankfully, his own crowning achievement, Robot Taekwon V, is ready to protect humanity. Piloted by his son, taekwondo champion Kim Hoon, Robot Taekwon V is the only force capable of stopping Dr. Kaff's evil plans.

Ah, such fond memories. Taekwon V is one of the first mecha movies I watched as a little kid and I must say I was thrilled with its fast pacing and almost non-stop action. It was the late 80’s, television was full of kid stuff, and dubbed VHS were pouring in from all sides with all sorts of animated stories the videoclubs never bothered to categorize properly.
I didn’t know it back then but turns out Taekwon V is actually on of the earliest Korean anime-style rip-offs. The similarities to Mazinger Z are more than obvious (just look at the ship entering the head) but copyrights where blurry back then and nobody cared much about these low budget productions. Plus they never aired Mazinger in my country to even see the similarities and after awhile all classical robot shows copied each other…

In the world of animation, there's the concept of the "Terribad" anime. That is, an anime show or series that is *so* bad, that it's actually entertaining to watch. The mere act of making fun of it while watching it provides enjoyment. (It's the same principle that drives shows like MST3K)

Disclaimer: This is a review of what I could find of the western adaptation of "Robot Teakwon V", Voltar the Invincible. which seems to be edited down and possibly incomplete, seeing as is under and hour and ends almost mid-sentence, though it does tell a complete story. There might be a spoiler though spoiler is an ambiguous term so its not my fault, nothing is.
Story: Billy Future is a karate champ who's dad is a robot scientist, and when the worlds put in danger by a former mad scientist colleague of his father, Billy pilots Voltar to stop the mad scientist robot destruction. The story is as basic and typical as it gets and often stuff would just happen because why not. The only sorta notable part of the thing is Wondera's side story. Though its barely there and its also very stock ,to…
