Don't know if I can connect those dots! :) I think you could have come up with the idea of putting Jack Black into a cartoon about a portly panda without ever having heard of the late Farley, rest him...

I didn't like the cartoon in the least. It had the horribly minimal animation that a lot of toons had in the day. Not sure if it was Hanna-Barbera, but sometimes their animation work was so spare there was barely any color or background work done. That would have been okay if the 'toon had been funny, but I always found it to be stupid. Needless to say, therefore, the idea of a movie leaves me cold. Besides, they already did a crappy movie about an incompetent martial artist trying to fight crime: remember that Chris Farley movie where he was supposedly a ninja? ----- Original Message ----- From: "Mr. Worf" < [email protected] > To: [email protected] Sent: Wednesday, June 23, 2010 1:27:39 AM GMT -05:00 US/Canada Eastern Subject: [scifinoir2] Hong Kong Phooey The Movie! This one movie that would be on a "never thought that would make it to the screen list." Guess I was wrong on that.... Hong Kong Phooey The Movie! By bbwhirl hong kong phooeyWe’ve had live action versions of Inspector Gadget, Garfield (sort of), Alvin and the Chipmunks (you know what I mean) Scooby Doo and Underdog, now finally, we’re getting the one that we all really wanted, well, the one I’ve really wanted; Hong Kong Phooey! Yep, one of the writers from Family Guy , a Mr. David Goodman, is teaming up with director Alex Zamm to tell the classic talking-dog-janitor-who-transforms-into-a-ninja-type-superhero-every-time-he-jumps-into-his-filing-cabinet tale. Ah, you can’t beat the classics… Anyway, one negative surrounding this great news is that Brett Ratner is rumored to be lurking in the background somewhere as a producer. Scary. httpv:// www.youtube.com/watch?v=CW54W9y6-eU -- Celebrating 10 years of bringing diversity to perversity!
