Live-action HONG KONG PHOOEY
At the moment my mind is drawing a blank because I can't think of a really good live-action remake of a cartoon. All I can think of is GARFIELD, ALVIN AND THE CHIPMUNKS, and ROCKY & BULLWINKLE, all of which were childhood favorites of mine and were ruined by a bad remake. Now, whether we like it or not, "Hong Kong Phooey," the story of "a police station janitor who becomes a dog with mystical powers," is getting the live-action treatment.
Director Alex Zamm, who also directed the straight-to-video INSPECTOR GADGET 2, will be at the helm. David Goodman is writing the script, which adds some legitimacy to the project since Goodman has also been a producer and writer for "Family Guy" and "Futurama." Unfortunately, I'm doubtful that we'll get anything witty or original. Instead I expect lots of toilet humor aimed at kids.
