to bad Scatman Crothers died in 1986.
No Spot?? It’s a disgrace!! ;)
Hong Kong Phooey looked better than Marmaduke and Underdog by leaps and bounds.
I’m not sure what I think of Marvin the Martian yet.
If Hong Kong Phooey was going to be eating urinal cakes, I think the world might be better without it.
Hong Kong Phooey? If I wanted to watch live action shite like that, I’d rewatch all the Beverly Hills Cop movies. Marvin the Martian was pretty good. But that said, you can’t really call it live action if the main character is an animated character, can you? And what’s the point? If you have to animate the main character, why not just animate the rest of it, too? And, aside from Roger Rabbit, I cannot think of a single animated property that was redone in live action that was worth the time and money that was wasted producing the thing.
How comes the dog can talk but not the cat?
Beats me, but that is part of the original concept of Hong Kong Phooey.
Too bad that the bathroom jokes are so questionable.
Marvin, however, is marvelous. Looking forward for more of him.
I would rather sit by Scatman Crother’s grave and watch grass grow than listen to Eddy Murphy for 2 hours.
