Only Australia's Network Ten aired all 65 episodes of this adaption. In the US, the show was cancelled after 13 episodes in syndication, due to poor ratings. The UK's local version of FOX Kids never went past episode 47, coincidentally the last episode featuring Gatchaman II material.

The villain Mallanox ("Gel Sadora" in the original) is given a male voice, despite the fact that the character is a female. The dub's writers acknowledge this mistake later in the series, by retconning Mallanox's gender.

The issue of death is avoided or danced around many times, as is the case with most Saban-related animation from the 1990s.

The dub ends after 65 episodes (the typical number of episodes for a syndicated cartoon), with no proper resolution to the plot.

I used to watch G-Force on Cartoon Network and loved it. Unfortunately, it disappeared off of TV for some reason. One Sunday morning, I woke up fairly early and turned on the TV and there they are...with different villains, gear, vehicles, and names? I had not yet discovered Gatchaman or Battle Of The Planets, but I quickly learned that this was not the same show. In fact, even the source material wasn't Gatchaman. This was from the sequel shows, Gatchaman II and Gatchaman Fighter. I got up early every morning to watch it whenever I could, and enjoyed every minute of it. Sadly, we only saw 15 episodes of the 65 episode series... And we never even got into the Fighter storyline. This show is definitely one of Saban's forgotten triumphs that should be revived on Jetix (ABC Family/Toon Disney).
