'''''Mobile Suit Gundam F91''''' is a 1991 anime film, which was [[Gundam]] creator Yoshiyuki Tomino's attempt to launch a new Gundam saga, set thirty years after ''[[Char's Counterattack]]''. He re-teamed with character designer Yoshikazu Yasuhiko and mecha designer Kunio Okawara for the occasion. The movie was first released in Japan on March 16, 1991.
Originally planned as a full-length television series, Gundam F91 hit a production snag due to staff disputes, and the project was stopped after the screenplays for the first thirteen episodes were written. It was then decided that what was made of the show would be condensed into a theatrical feature film. Predictably, condensing a story originally intended to be told over the course of thirteen half-hour episodes into less than two hours of screen time required much of the original story to be cut, and the results are generally regarded with mixed feelings.
Line 10:
The Gundam F91 story was fleshed out in much greater detail in Tomino's two-part novelization. Tomino's manga, ''[[Crossbone Gundam]]'', is a direct sequel which takes place ten years after the events of the movie.
Given how barely any of the characters from the previous UC series show up and the considerably long time jump, it's apparent that (had it been a series) this would have been to be a Gundam equivalent of sorts to ''[[Star Trek:
{{tropelist}}
* [[Action Girl]] - Cecily
* [[All There in the Manual]] - Tomino's novels and manga explain many of the crazier elements going on in the movie. Unfortunately, it's not available in English.
* [[Aristocrats Are Evil]] - The Crossbone Vanguard are a bunch of Aristocrats without a kingdom. Later supplements would indicate that they're affiliated with what would later become the Zanscare Empire from ''[[Mobile Suit Victory Gundam
* [[Award Bait Song]]: ''Eternal Wind''.
* [[Awesome Yet Practical]]: The Crossbone Vanguard's shotlancers, which look like giant lawn darts with machineguns strapped to them, were developed as a melee weapon with zero chance of setting off a reactor explosion<ref>The idea is that it would damage but not destroy critical components, triggering the safety shut-off</ref>.
* [[Badass]] - Carozzo/Iron Mask. When {{spoiler|a sniper tries to assassinate him}} in the middle of a speech he doesn't even flinch, he just keeps talking and even makes an epic [[Badass Boast]](seen [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PKLkxFfVulI here] in all of its glory). He also shows some epic badassery when he {{spoiler|jumps out of the Rafflesia and tears open Cecily's cockpit}} with his bare hands. In outer space. [[Batman Can Breathe in Space|Without a space suit]].
* [[Badass Normal]] - Seabook is closer to Kou Uraki and Shiro Amada than Amuro Ray.
* [[Bathe Her and Bring Her
* [[Big Bad]] - Carozzo
* [[Calling the Old Man Out]] - Seabook has serious issues with his mother Monica choosing to develop mobile suits over raising him and his sister Reese.
Line 38 ⟶ 36:
* [[Expy]] - Carozzo is an Expy of [[Char Clone|Char]] and [[Star Wars|Darth Vader]], He also seems to be based on The Man In The Iron Mask.
** Likewise, Cecily is an expy of Sayla Mass.
* [[Everything's Better
* [[Eyepatch of Power]] - Zabine
* [[The Federation]] - Portrayed here as useless rather than malevolent.
