Giant Robot Monday #7-Giant Robo! Attack!

As a wee lad, I remember watching on Creature Double Feature a movie about a kid fighting evil aliens with the help of a giant robot with a killer Egyptian Pharaoh head he controlled with a wristwatch. I still remember the sad ending where the robot acted on it's own to stop the big baddie from blowing up the world!

Turns out the movie was made up of episodes from an old Japanese live action show, Giant Robo! It was adapted for US TV as Johnny Sokko and his Flying Robot.

Here's the Japanese opening:
