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. [Geoff Cowie]
