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 Hong Kong Phooey: The Complete Series (DVD) Hong Kong Phooey to the rescue! Just who is “America’s secret weapon against crime?” As his catchy theme song sets out, he’s a “number one super guy, quicker than the human eye!” Disguised as a mild-mannered police station janitor, Penrod transforms himself into the powerful pooch that the girls love to smooch by leaping into his filing cabinet and emerging as Hong Kong Phooey. Collecting most of his criminal tips from Rosemary, the miniskirted New York dispatcher, he leaps into danger – with his Phooeymobile and Kung Phoo dumb luck – to dog, collar and let loose his famous Hong Kong Phooey karate chops on unsuspecting crooks everywhere.

Hong Kong Phooey-Number One Super Guy!
I had previously purchased this series a decade ago for my late girlfriend so now I decided to get a copy for myself. This is my latest purchase of a Hanna-Barbera series on DVD. I always loved the voice talents as well as acting by Scatman Crothers[Meadowlark Lemon on the Harlem Globetrotters and Scat Cat on The Aristocats] and he does so excellently as the title character[a.k.a. Penry the mild-mannered janitor]. Sgt. Flint was voiced by Joe E. Ross[Gunther Tooty on Car 54, Where Are You?]. Who could forget that bespectacled blonde haired Rosemary, the mini-skirted telephone operator! Then there's Spot, the striped Tabby who helps out Penry/Hong Kong Phooey solve crime fighting, if the latter doesn't by himself or with the help of his Kung Fu lesson book(!). This series was always great to watch on Saturday mornings after witnessing Crothers himself as Louie, the garbage collector on Chico And The Man Friday evenings[Let's not forget his role as Mr. Turkle, the night watchman in One Flew Over The Cuckoo's Nest!]. Fan-riffic!

A must-have x generation
I was a little over 3 years old when I first initially started watching this show and I absolutely love it to this day so I knew I had to purchase it.. I had no clue it was only one season long.. One of my favorite actors, Scatman Crothers if you hear his voice you'll recognize him in everything he's in. Just the other day I was watching something and I heard his voice. So as soon as I hear them I saw him in the movie he was in I forget what I went straight to Amazon and purchased this not knowing it was going to be so inexpensive.

Da werden Erinnerungen wach
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!

le roi du kung-FOU!!!
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!!!

Brings back GREAT 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 !!!!

A blast from the past.
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.
