SYNOPSIS
Hong Kong Phooey, a somewhat inept super-hero and a master of kung fu and marital arts is always on alert for crime. He gets tip-offs from the police station where he works as Penrod "Penry" Pooch, the mild mannered janitor.
Whenever Penry overhears a call for help he quickly dives into a filing cabinet and changes into his karate outfit and then hops into his Phooeymobile.
Despite his fallings, and thanks to Spot, his cat, Hong Kong Phooey always manages to save the day. He is a beloved superhero to all who know him. These 31 classic cartoons from Hong Kong Phooey are now available for the first time ever on DVD! Original Broadcast Date: 1/1/74.

REVIEW:
Parents who grew up with Hong Kong Phooey will love this collection. A great opportunity to share classic cartoon moments with your own children. You can't help but laugh as you remember, way back, to the time you first were introduced to the hilarious Hong Kong Phooey.
Your kids may not quite believe you watched Hong Kong Phooey back in the 70s as the quality of the new DVD collection is terrific, unlike your old fuzzy television set you watched on.
Grab the collection and the kids and spend a day together. Not only will you have some terrific memories revisited, you'll create some new ones.
