Hong Kong Phooey: The Complete Series (Repackaged/DVD)

Definitely love it

I'm reliving my childhood with this dvd!! The dvd was delivered on time and in perfect condition. I can proudly say that I've never had any problems with any of my orders!! THANK YOU

These cartoons were just as silly as I remember. Politically incorrect, but silly.

You can't go wrong with dvds . This is dual purpose as it's a Christmas gift and with the long break from school for the holiday, and it's from the decade he's interested in , I think this is a goid choice.

For many of us, Hong Kong Phooey was the last great Hanna-Barbera cartoon character when it debuted in the fall of 1974. He was a Kung Fu crime fighting dog who never could quite go off the book. He was helped by a stripped cat named Spot. He was voiced by the immortal Scatman Crothers. The great Joe E Ross played Sgt. Flint.Now don't get confused with the claim of 31 episodes. There were only 16 half hour long episodes. Each "episode" listed below was half the show except for the final "Cowboy" adventure that was the full 30 minutes. It'll be great to have the complete collection on the shelf in time for the 32 anniversary of Hong Kong Phooey.The episodes will be presented in Full Frame (1.33:1) video, with an English mono audio track (with subtitles in English, French and Spanish).

Watch Hanna-Barbera's #1 superguy take a chop out of crime in Hong Kong Phooey - The Complete Series! Starring the voice talents of Scatman Crothers (Chico and the Man, Transformers), Joe E. Ross (Car 54, Where Are You?) and Kathy Gori (Inch High Private Eye), this 2-disc (397 min.) set features all 31 episodes (except for the half-hour "Comedy Cowboys") in their original two-segment form; Full-Frame (1.33:1) video; English audio; French & Spanish subtitles; plus the following Special Features: "The Phoo-Nomenon" Phabulous Retrospective Documentary; "The Batty Bank Gang: Complete Storyboard"; Expert Commentary on 3 Key Episodes by Creative Producer Iwao Takamoto, Layout Unit Manager Willie Ito and Hanna-Barbera Historian/Warner Animation Producer Scott Jeraldson; plus Trailers. Considering the age of the show, the picture and sound are fairly clean, despite some noticeable debris. The two discs in this set are housed in a slim two-panel pak (like the Space Ghost and Birdman sets). While there is no segment selection option from the main menu, there are chapters for the segments which you can skip thru using your remote. Extras are especially fun and informative.Disc 1:Car Thieves/Zoo StoryIron Head the Robot/Cotton Pickin' Pocket PickerGrandma Goody (Cat Burgular)/Candle PowerThe Penthouse Burgularies/Batty Bank MobThe Voltage Villain/The GigglerThe Gumdrop Kid/Professor Presto (The Malevolent Magician)Disc 2, Side A:TV Or Not TV/Stop Horsing AroundMirror, Mirror on the Wall/Great Movie MysteryThe Claw/Hong Kong Phooey vs. Hong Kong PhooeyThe Abominable Snowman/Professor CrosshatchGoldfisher/Green ThumbFrom Bad To Verse (Rotten Rhymer)/Kong and the CounterfeitersThe Great Choo Choo Robbery/Patty Cake, Patty Cake, Bakery ManDisc 2, Side B:Mr. Tornado/The Little Crook Who Wasn't ThereDr. Disguiso/The Incredible Mr. ShrinkComedy Cowboys

The Saturday morning Hong Kong Phooey show had 2 "cases" per episode, except for the final episode (#16) which was only one "case". The original DVD release counted each "case" as an episode (15 x 2) + 1 for a total of 31. This newer DVD release just counts the episodes as 16, but be assured, all 31 "cases" are on the DVD's. It is a 2 disc set like the original, except that the original used a two-sided disc #2 which included a few bonus features. This Diamond Collection set dropped the bonus features so that disc #2 would be a normal one-sided disc.

This show really brought back memories.

Some people said they watched as a kid, but, now when they are older, they didn't enjoy it as much, well I watched as a kid, and, found it as funny or more so now that I am 51 years old, so if your wondering about it, I say, smoke a joint and laugh your head off !!!!

Great to be back to the old days

I’ve been on a nostalgia kick recently and when I spotted this I just couldn’t resist. Have watched the first disc, and it’s been fun to take a walk down memory lane when cartoons looked like cartoons.

Leider gibt es keine deutsch synchronisierte Fassung dieser alten Serie. Ich habe die DVD meinem Bruder zum Geburtstag geschenkt, er liebte diese Serie als Kind. Da er zz. in Hongkong lebt, sollte dies ein kleiner Joke sein, englisch ist also kein Problem... Nur die Stimmen sind halt anders, aber: so what! Spaß bringt das Anschauen allemal!

Il fit les délices de notre jeunesse avant de revivre sur des chaînes TV obscures avant de disparaître de nos écrans. Souvenez-vous de ce chien, plutôt maladroit, qui se prend pour un justicier spécialiste des arts martiaux, Hong Kong Fou Fou! Ce coffret Hanna Barbera regroupe l'intégrale de la série, dans un délire total et une liberté perdus depuis dans le monde de l'animation. A signaler que seul l'anglais est disponible (audio & s/titres) mais un niveau moyen de langue permet de suivre l'intrigue; et il y a les images. A consommer sans modération!!!
