Wow Hollywood all i can say is FAIL with a capital L.

Aside from just being odd and out of place Ic an already see the stereo types portrayed by the film and fabricated by the masses.

Josh R the kids don’t have to know what it’s about. Being based on Hong Kong Phooey may bring in a few parents and have them drag their kids to it. Just being a kids film will bring kids in. Thousands of properties almost exactly like this, but with no previous history on film come out and do very well.

Gotta wonder about the thought behind this one is. Scooby-Doo, Garfield and Alvin and the Chipmunks are all at least kinda still relevent. This movies obviously directed towards kids, but are there any kids who have actually seen this show?

All I know, is they better not pull an Underdog and him on all-fours.

Ugh. Isn’t in appropriate that Ratner’s production company is called Rat Entertainment? Because it spreads the plague…

I was never a fan of “Hong Kong Phooey”, even back in the eighties. And now — Jeez, I dunno — now, it just feels like outdated cultural appropriation. I feel a bit icky looking at Phooey’s gi and “wacky” chop-socky stances, rather how I feel when I think of Mickey Rooney’s bucktoothed, yellow-faced performance in Breakfast at Tiffany’s.

Whoa. All signs point to this being a monumental train wreck.

Unfortunately, Alvin and the Chipmunks did not have “terrible results,” at least from a financial standpoint.

Say what you want to say but i’d love to see either a live action movie or some animated movie of the hanna barbera wacky races… I used to love seeing that… Matter of fact still do.

As always, Hollywood suits are idiots and writers their whores! Another flop on the way. Why don’t they just give the money to charity. They’d garner more fans than this movie.

@Gary,

Hong Kong Panda? Do you mean Kung FU Panda? If not, I’d like to see the one YOU’RE talking about!

I was expecting this one.
After the success of Hong Kong Panda, it was inevitable.
I wish them Luck.

Well I’ve yet to hear anyone’s voice that remotely sounds like Scatman Crouthers and without that it’s doomed from the onset.

It’s doomed to suck and I’m gonna watch it. I loved Hong Kong Phooey as a kid it was a awesome show lol.
