Description:
Hong Kong Phooey, a somewhat inept super-hero and a master of kung fu and marital arts is always on alert for crime. He gets tip-offs from the police station where he works as Penrod "Penry" Pooch, the mild mannered janitor. Whenever Penry overhears a call for help he quickly dives into a filing cabinet and changes into his karate outfit and then hops into his Phooeymobile. Despite his fallings, and thanks to Spot, his cat, Hong Kong Phooey always manages to save the day. He is a beloved superhero to all who know him. These 31 classic cartoons from Hong Kong Phooey are now available for the first time ever on DVD!

Amazon.com:
Fan-rrific! Hanna-Barbera's Hong Kong Phooey was the Saturday-morning cartoon answer to the mid-'70s martial-arts craze. Mild-mannered janitor Penry (voiced by Scatman Crothers) works in the police station alongside switchboard operator Rosemary (Kathy Gori) and beleaguered Sergeant Flint (Joe E. Ross), humans who never suspect that the diligent dog is actually "America's secret weapon against crime." Never mind that Hong Kong Phooey, although armed with his trusty book of kung fu and a Bond-meets-Wacky Races Phooeymobile, wouldn't even be able to get out of his quick-change file cabinet without a well-placed blow from his loyal cat, Spot (who's striped, naturally). The public is awed by him, Rosemary has a crush on him, and villains--including the Claw, the Giggler, Goldfisher, and the Gum Drop Kid--fear him, but no one notices that Hong Kong Phooey only succeeds through his own klutziness, Spot's help, or dumb luck. The two-DVD set (one single-sided, one double-sided) include all of the series' 31 episodes, though at only 11 minutes each, two of them were shown in its half-hour time slot. There's also a retrospective documentary, a storyboard of a complete episode run side-by-side with the final version, and commentary on three episodes by some of the original team: creative producer Iwao Takamoto and layout unit manager Willie Ito, and Warner animation producer-historian Scott Jeralds. Crothers also scatted the famous theme song: "Hong Kong Phooey, Number One super guy / Hong Kong Phooey, Quicker than the human eye / Chicky-chong chicky-chong / Chicky-chocky dooky-chong / Dooky-bop chop-choppin' / Da bow-wow-wow!" Hong Kong Phooey is harmlessly entertaining, about as harmless as Hong Kong Phooey was to bad guys everywhere. --David Horiuchi

Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Great!
Such a great cartoon, it's nice to have the entire series in one set. The only disadvantage is that it's only on 2 discs, so the second disc is double sided.



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Cartoons I grew up with as a kid
I love this DVD Box set. Hong Kong Phooey was a favorite while growing up and I was excited to see it on DVD. The content doesn't claim to be re-mastered or improved-but is still quite good considering the era when it was made. I purchased a copy for my brother also-and his kids enjoy watching the cartoons as well. Shipping was reasonable and fast-I would buy from again.



Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - number one super guy
The cartoons are fun, I remember them from when I was very young. Quite a difference from the cartoons of today. Good quality, good fun.



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Fond Memories
Honk Kong Phooey is much as I remember it, very good. If you remember the series, then you know that Hong Kong always gets his man... even if it's by accident or with the help of Spot, his cat. This show takes me back to a simpler time of fun and Saturday morning cereal. The animation is definately 70's, but is still vibrant and holds up well. The sound is good and Scatman Crothers is great as Hong Kong. Definately on my A list, not only for me and my wife, but also for todays children. A good ... Read More
