[edit] He is also pretty funny.
Think of the Wikipedia NPOV!
Why? It's a fact, not an opinion.
Foo.
[edit] comic?
"This and a limited comic book series highlighting an aged Hong Kong Phooey on a last mission, apparently to clear his name from a crime he didn't commit." - the above quote needs to be expanded - what publisher? what year?
[edit] DVD
Hadn't thought of Hong Kong Phooey in years, but today Netflix lists it among this week's new releases. Everything is "released" on Tuesdays for some reason. Should I change the article to say "was released on August 15" and hope nobody reads it before Tuesday? ;) —Tamfang 18:18, 13 August 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Stupid Trivia Item
I'm removing In the episode #3 of The Perils of Penelope Pitstop series, "The Boardwalk Entrapment" there's a reference to Rosemary the Telephone Operator, when Pockets says "Ya don't say, ya don't say!", similar to what Rosemary says when she answers the phone.
The Perils of Penelope Pitstop premiered in 1969; Hong Kong Phooey premiered in 1974.
Unless this "reference" was intended for psychic/time-travelling viewers, it would be impossible to make a joke about Hong Kong Phooey, which was shown 5 years later.
Besides, Hanna-Barbera were always using the same jokes/catchphrases in their productions, that doesn't mean they were intentional references to other shows. Psychonaut3000 04:11, 30 September 2006 (UTC)
[edit] The Green Hornet reference deleted without asking
Possible VANDALISM (content removed with discussint it first)
Some nazi dictator is deleting the content listed below, without disussing it first in the talk page. Might need semi-protecting this page from anonymous edits. Need assistance in this matter.
[edit] The Green Hornet
Several references in Hong Kong Phooey are a direct pun of The Green Hornet TV show:
- Phooey's "Gong mobile" is always colored green.
- The Cat always saved the day, as Kato always saved the Green Hornet from an impending doom.
- Phoeey *knows* martial arts. In real life, Bruce Lee, who played Kato in the Green Hornet, was a bona fide martial arts expert.
- Brit Reid (Green Hornet's real name) works with the knowledge of the chief of police and the D.A; Phooey works as the janitor right in the Police Department.
[edit] NPOV doesn't apply to the Green Hornet link FACTS
Facts are facts, anonymous Nazi de-contributor (To the anonimous censor coward at 172.209.158.232)
If you don't like others people contributions, join the Gestapo and start censoring from there. Any dissent (word that you obviously dislike) should be discussed in the Talk page, not by removing content using an anonymous login. If you have any evidence that any single fact (is 2+2=4 an "original research"?) that makes a link between the Green Hornet and Hong Kong Phooey is untrue, then prove it. I dare you.
1. The GREEN Hortnet is GREEN. Hong Hong Phoeey always rode in some sort vehicle, always GREEN colored. 2. The Green Hornet was always saved by his servant named KATO; Phooey was always saved by his CAT. 3. The Green Hornet WORKED with the knowledge of the Chief of Police; Phooey WORKED as the janitor right in the Police Department.
