Chuck Norris Karate Commandos

[Dub]

I cant believe adult swim is gonna be airing that in the graveyard slot. Thats one of the worst cartoons ever. XD

I'm starting love the graveyard slot idea now. :)

[IWDP Lim]

Chuck Norris ordered Adult Swim to air Chuck Norris Karate Commandos due to the lack of Chuck Norris on the block.

[Sketch]

Chuck Norris was once told by someone that a round house kick is not the most effective kick. Analysts have concluded that this was the greatest mistake in human history.

[Artimus Gigan]

They need to make a T shirt that reads

DON'T **** WITH THE CHUCK

and put a picture of KK Chuck Norris on there, he looked down right sadistic in many episodes(they apparently couldn't convey the emotion of anger correctly in episodes)

Also it was an apparent rip offf of GIIJOE with hints and bits of Flash Gordon(Main badguy looks like Ming, just with giant metal arm)


Also it was filled with so many sterotypes that it would make any racist sect look humble

and had killer dolphins in one episode

[Ultra Mike]

Angels Sang Out In An Immaculate Chorus
Down From The Heavens, Descended Chuck Norris
Delievering A Kick That Could Shatter Bone
Into The Slot Of Gary Cole(man)
Who Went Back To Heaven, Away From AS
When The Super Globtrotters Got A Call Of Distress
But Chuck Knew They're Show Was Also Toast
So Punch The Gang Wherever They Sent Space Ghost

Heh, sorry, but thought that a "The Ultimate Showdown" quote would fit well here.

[JohnCrichton]

Wait, this is actually happening?

This is one of the most brilliant things I've heard them do. Nice... :anime:

[Tienshin]

I have a question.

When exactly did Chuck Norris crawl back into the national vernacular? I swear that I keep seeing his name in the strangest places. At first I thought it was just confined to the internet, but no...no Chuck's name keeps popping up in other places and now he is coming to AS.

I can't say I understand or am happy about this turn of events.

I blame Conan O'Brien, the pasty-faced, red-headed god of mirth, sardonism, and humility.

YTMND is to blame

but I am not posting it right now because it is 13 pages long

[D.Shaffer]

...So they're SERIOUSLY going to be playing it? Hahaha. :) Long live bad cartoons.

I wonder how Chuck Norris is handling the sudden upswing in his popularity.

[TnAdct1]

[SirLemming]

No no no. It was definitely Conan O'Brien's fault. He's the one who made everyone remember Walker: Texas Ranger when NBC merged with Universal and he started playing those clips. At least, I have to assume that's what started it, because it's the only Chuck Norris fad that has a logical explanation behind it.

YTMND definitely did not start it, I know that much. Chuck Norris Facts came before that.

I can't say I understand or am happy about this turn of events. Let me sum this up:

-There was an SNL skit with Chuck Norris jokes and college kids went crazy.
-Someone made up a website about those jokes and college kids bounce off the walls.
-People quickly forgot thanks to Dave Chapelle. (in a way was good and bad)
-Conan did those Chuck Norris skits, but they only were funny because Walker Texas Ranger was so bad.
-People forgot again.
-The site I mentioned was updated about a month ago when the site was already 3 years old.
-Stupid people who never saw it before now think it's new and funny.
-Everyone now jokes about him so YTMND.com and Newgrounds rides on him.
-I want to punch every kid in my school who even dares to mentions his name.

The actual intro...(as seen on Boomerang) Note that even though Chuck is a "Karate Kommando", his black belt is in Tang Soo Do. (http://www.collegehumor.com/movies/1642842/)

And what the hell were they supposed to air? Beck? Witch Hunter Robin?

[Nimarmo]

I'm sure his cameo in Dodgeball played a part, too.

[Delthayre]

I think Chuck Norris has become a figure similar to William Shatner or Adam West in popular culture, but doesn't get it. Shatner and West have embraced and made good on their undignified images as animate self-parodies, but Norris seems to neither embrace nor understand this ideal. Oh well, I suppose that's part of what makes it work, to the extent that it does.

Yes, but Shatner and West have been around much longer to embrace this sort of self-referential idea. And both of them seem to have no problem with it. That's why Shatner can be on Priceline commericals or West can lend that voice of his to a college project.

Norris...well, give him 5 years or so.

[KuwabaraTheMan]

I'm surprised how far its reached. A couple weeks ago, on PTI's birthday segment(when it was Chuck's birthday), Tony mentioned a bunch of things taken from Chuck Norris Facts. I was pretty surprised to hear stuff about him on there.

That was one of the Chuck incidents I recall seeing lately. I guess it was his birthday and all but I kept sitting there thinking to myself, "Why is Kornheiser being such a Chuck Norris fanboy today...or anyday for that matter?"

Shatner released a pretty good not-really-so-much-a-parody-but-light-spirited album in 2004. You should check it out if you haven't. Has been. I happen to own that one. A true classic. But it can't beat his first album, which has to be one of the worst in existence. That's why I have that one too.

[Ace Goodheart]

One of the VA's for the characters in this show voices my namesake in "G-Force". Look up "Sam Fontana".

Can't believe this fad has reached AS. Pretty convenient that they had an old '80's Norris toon in their H-B vaults. I've been watching Cartoon Network almost since its inception in 1992 and I have YET to have seen this show in my lifetime or recall it ever being scheduled on CN. Which isn't a good sign considering CN probably played 95% of their massive H-B library back in their early years considering there wasn't anything else to air.

I assume this show may have made an apperance on their old 'It Came From The Vault" block or at the very least late-nights, cuz no chance it hell has it ever aired in the day.


Sorry to break the thick air of sarcasm in here folks.

Isn't Karate Kommandos Ruby-Spears? Guess it doesn't matter since both studios were interchangable and both employed most of the same people.

[Juu-kuchi]

How laughable.

Am I right to believe that it was technically okay to kick people and not to punch them on 80s television show like this. Because for a karate kommando, all Chuck does is kick people, doesn't even lay a fist on them. All the intro was was kicking, kicking, kicking.

[zmanjz]

I'm sure his cameo in Dodgeball played a part, too.

That's the one I blame. the whole premise of the movie was to set up a scene to deliver the line "Thank you, Chuck Noris" after he saves the day.

(And really, can you complain about Walker, Texas Ranger? I mean he singlehandedly kept an entire Plate-Glass factory working. Think of all the Jobs! Not to mention all the stuntmen that they employed so that they coud kick a different body-type through a window every episode.)

Chuck Norris is good for Jobs, so Chuck Norris is Good for America.

Thank you, Chuck Norris.

Spider-Man had the same problem. The same issue exists with GI Joe shooting lasers (although Duke threw more than a few meathooks at least)

[Juu-kuchi]

By the by, how many episodes is this series?

[Beat]

According to this (http://ficklinm.com/CHUCK.HTML), 5.

Cartoon Network did some rather interesting tounge in cheek ads for Gigantor, so I expect a similar approach with Chuck Norris.

http://i33.photobucket.com/albums/d85/somedude248/lever1.jpg

Cartoon Network is getting as close as they can to the Walker Texas Ranger lever without being sued.

For every kick that Chuck Norris made, he landed five punches, but his kicks were too fast to let light land on the punches.

Chuck Norris Karate Commandos had to be animated, because it was based on real events filmed in real time, but those events proved too much for the cameras to handle.

Not a lot of people know this, but Chuck Norris Karate Commandos had its own tie-in comic book from Marvel, with pencils by Steve freakin' Ditko. That's right, Steve Ditko, creator of the Question and the Blue Beetle and co-creator of Spider-Man and Dr. Strange.

A friend of mine got a season of Walker Texas Ranger on DVD :p he also got the first two seasons of the A-Team.

That's true. Maybe I'm just a bit bitter about it from spending too much time at Gamefaqs, where perfectly good topics tend to get overrun with Chunk Norris jokes. I personally feel that it's gotten to the same point as replying "your mom" to someone who asked a legitamate question. I really don't mind it so much if someone does something new with the gag.

The episode titles from TV.COM

1. Deadly Dolphin (no other title comes close to topping this one)
2. Target: Chuck Norris
3. Terror Train
4. Menace From Space
5. Island Of The Walking Dead

[Undrave]

Wow... zombies, ninjas, aliens AND killer dolphins IN THE SAME SERIE?! WOW!

[Mercy Drive]

I just finished watching "Deadly Dolphin" through other means

-Sealab looks closer to the 2020 version and not the one seen in Centurions

-Kickass music, same guys who did everything for the good cartoons they did back then. "Chuck calling Skyvault"

-Before Mattel marked thier heros' suit for "New Adventures of He-Man", there was Chuck Norris.

-Contrary to the title, the Dolphins are not deadly.

Classic dialouge

-"Claws' people are using Dr. Sandfords' knowledge of Sealab so they can get into Selab....and take over the place"

-"Remember THIS" (Claw threatens Angelfish on the com-liny by pointing his claw to the camera and waves it in a way that you have to see)

-Metal Gear game developers learned everything they could from a Team Norris jailbreak

-Chuck Norris can run straight through lazer rifle fire

-Chuck Norris roundhouse kicks machine equipment into powder

-Chuck Norris overloads a computer, lets out a girly scream, as if being sarcastic, for his body endures even that

-Super Ninja: "A Tidal wave that will destroy TOOOKYOOOOO"

[Undrave]

:lol: sounds great. We just need a Vin Diesel cartoon now :p every other episode could be 'Dungeon Adventurer Vin' where we see him play Dungeons and Dragon and then they animate the quest XD

[Space Chief]

Sam Jackson needs a cartoon where all he does is hit people with snakes.

[Mek]

So.... when does this start airing?

[Nftnat]

Tonight, from all indications.

Seriously, y'all, only five episodes? That's all?!? That would mean cycling through the entire series every week. How long until AS gets tired of that and switches to some other H-B or R-S 'classic' from the vaults? Wait, I just remembered Boo-Boo Runs Wild; never mind.

But really, I mean, TGCS and SGT were on for two full runs, that's five weeks and a day, er, night. One of their predecessors, Gigantor, not even that. Not even one-and-a-half runs, *sighs in frustration and gives up*

Is there any place I can go for info on this show? When the half-ASed attempt at acknowledging Black History month in the graveyard hour came about I Dogpiled both shows and got all sorts of listings including full ep guides. So far nothing with this show, and no help from Yahoo, imdb, or bcdb either.

[Pepperidge]

Someone had damn well better get this on YouTube!

[Beat]

To give people an idea of what to expect, I'm posting the one IMDB review I could find.

"Chuck Norris, Karate Kommandos" is one of the several dozen TV shows based around an action hero to come out in the mid-80's. This show, as far as action cartoons are concerned, hit all the right spots.

Pointless explosions? Check. Complete and utter disregard for continuity (i.e. Chuck Norris riding a motorcycle one second, and suddenly appearing on the back of a truck without ever showing how he got there)? Check. Children constantly in peril? Check. Ninjas, ninjas, and more ninjas? Check.

All of this, and Mr. Norris' physique which in this cartoon is about twice as buff as the actual guy (which is clear because he spends most of the show shirtless, for some reason). Even funnier, they call this show "Karate Commandos", but there's a minimal emphasis on "Karate." Most of the action involves laser guns and falling steel beams. The funniest scene I remember on this show is where Chuck Norris steals a bike from a little kid, and the kid gets all upset. Then Chuck Norris, as he heads off towards evildoers (via the kid's bike), turns back to the kid (and his friends) and says "It's Ok, Kids! I'm Chuck Norris!"

At the beginning and end of every episode, the REAL Chuck Norris, usually at a Gym or Martial Arts Studio, would talk to the camera - or us, the audience - about the moral of the day's episode, whether it be telling the truth, being a good friend, or... in an ironic turn, not stealing things from others. I guess that doesn't include bicycles?

Also...

EDIT: Did he just steal somebody's bike and was like "Its OK, I'm Chuck Norris"?

Yes! "Hey! That's my bike!" "I'm Chuck Norris. It's an emergency. Something something American Embassy." And then his hand got really big.

But the best part was yet to come - Chuck jumps out of the plane to follow the escaping ninja - with absolutely no regard for the fact that there is a huge, unmanned plane about to crash to earth.

I can't believe I'm watching this, but I can't look away.

Oh, who am I kidding. This show was so many layers of guilty-pleasure awesome that there is no one "best part."

[ShadowGUN]

Chuck Norris realized he had miss the train that he use his powerful kicks to bend time and space and warp to where the train was.



EDIT: DAMNIT MAKE THAT KID STOP SAYING TOO MUCH

He can't Dub that his name. He like a Pokemon he must say his name every chance he gets. Btw was Mona Marshall voicing him? Sounded like her.

Wow I can believe how bad this show is yet I can't look away. From Super Ninjas to sumos to Chuck Norris using a dead snake to escape to "Its OK, I'm Chuck Norris". I was laughing like I was watching Bobobo.

Edit- Is just me or does animated Chuck Norris look like Tom Selleck

Too Much: Too Much!
Kimo, the samurai warrior!

Tabe, the sumo champion!

With Chuck Norris, they battle the sinister forces of The Claw!
The Claw: Remember This.

I vote Bobobo's reality bending secret powers for the win XD

[Anyone00]

DAMNIT MAKE THAT KID STOP SAYING TOO MUCH

William Street has heard your request and now he will instead say "BELIEVE IT!"

[Delthayre]

I've been able to see this, through the miracle of VHS and a programmable VCR.

I loved the live-action introduction, which he nearly seemed to be making up as he went.

The villain of the week was a hoot too. I loved that his weakness was being an albino, or at least having eyes like an albino. In any case, seeing THE CLAW punish him by ordering him to take his glasses off and then exposing him to bright light cracked me up.

It's just too...

No, I must never say those words again. They are defiled.

[JCorey3rd]

only five episodes. I guess people didn't do that many drugs back in the 80s. And the Mr. T show will be aired on Boomerang on April 1 on a staggered marathon - 1 episode every hour with another show.

[Hyper Shadow X]

So how many eppy's does this show have?

[Undrave]

So how many eppy's does this show have?

5. It's been said more times than the show has episodes XD is this available on Youtube yet? :p

Oh man. When the albino guy opened his little red eyes , reeled backwards awkwardly, and then let out that girly scream I swear I was HOWLING with laugher.

And is it just me or does the Super Ninja leader always sound like he's about to vomit? Its the most hilarious bad acting I have ever seen.

[Mercy Drive]

Rerelease please.

[Jack Frenzy]

Parachuting crocodiles? We're off to a good start tonight.

[One Radical Dude]

Chuck Norris in Space -- now, I've seen everything.

[CaptainRed]

This show looks almost as good as BoBoBo-Bo Bo-BoBo.

BoBoBo-Bo Bo-BoBo looks almost as good as my ass.

Commutative Property! Everyone stay away from Vincent's ass, lest ye be roundhouse kicked! (Or Roundhousekick'd! for the Cheerleaders, So-and-sos, What's-her=faces, and The ugly ones)


No offense, but this time the majority consensus who can lighten up and laugh at something concurrently>the minority consensus who cant' do anything but moan about it.

Cobra Commander definatly can benefit from having Super Ninjas' hair...

Plus, it's quickly becoming a meta-joke, wherein the very idea that it is or ever was funny is in and of itself funny.

...

Truly, we must put a stop to this, before it compounds into a quantum humor singularity and destroys Yakov Smirnov.


Okay... looks like I'm going to have to record and watch some of this train wreck. I blame all of you!

[Dark Fact]

CaptainRed, what the Chuck Norris is wrong with you? Did you miss your Chuck Norris brand coffee this morning? :eek:

[Nftnat]

Okkay, if this is turning into a talkback thread, I'm game. I accidentally didn't get it set up to record last night, so I'll reheat some comments I jotted down when I saw yesterday morning's episode too late.

About the concerns about stereotyping Orientals, I don't see it, although I'm not an Oriental. It seemed there were plenty of them among the good guys as well as the bad guys.

Pepper and that apprentice are siblings, noted.

A laser robot? Expect it to contribute to the fight before this is over.

I'm not even three minutes into this episode, and already I have joined the Too Much Must Die! club.

First episode, and already Chuck has a past with Claw and Super Ninja. I'm sure there would have been a flashback episode showing their first meeting if this show had gone on.

Now, that's something you don't see nearly often enough. You're hanging by your fingers, and the villain tries to stomp on said fingers, so you grab the foot and throw the villain off. Now, why don't we see that more often? To this day, people in that position on tv and in the movies just hang there and let their fingers get stomped on, and howl. No attempt to take the fight to the bad guy; why is that? If Chuck could figure it out, how hard could it be? Wait, I didn't mean that the way it sounded; I like Chuck.

He'll be around to teach Too Much's grandchildren? That kid should not be allowed to reproduce!

Now, what he actually said in that much-lampooned line was "I'm sorry, it's a national security emergency. I'm Chuck Norris; contact me at the American embassy." Now I ask you, what else could he have done or said? You're trying to catch up to the bad guy and rescue someone who no one really wants rescued, the only means of doing so is someone else's motorcycle, what do you do?

Cobra knockoffs, someone had to say it.

When the sumo guy broke the chain wiht his bare hands, I laughed at the expression on the baddie's face.

Ninja v. samurai; didn't we see this on InuYasha, or SC, or somewhere?

Well, this show wasn't a total waste; the movie Speed got its plotline from a throwaway line in this episode. If it wasn't for this show, we might have never seen Keanu Reeves and Sandra Bullock, um, never mind.

The sumo guy doesn't have to worry about the dungeon filling with water; he can float to the top.

All right, another line someone had to say: "Snakes, why did it have to be snakes?"

Hey, that sucker is still alive!

Chuck told his team to get the robot and they just stood there; that wouldn't have been tolerated from me. When Chuck Norris tells you to do something, you'd better hop to it!

And it hadn't been for this show, we'd never have had the Where Rovers Dare episode of Road Rovers, one of my favorites. When they slice through the trees I can hear Colleen and Hunter say, "The EPA's not going to like this." "You're just a wealth of social commentary today, aren't you?" "Just trying to stay topical, Hunty, you know, ripped from today's headlines."

Now was it really necessary for Pepper to make it about gender. Woman's touch, nothing; she just happens to be the mechanic of the group, and she just happens to be a woman, and the one has nothign to do with the other.

A little more barnstorming, and we have a cheesy '80's cartoon episode that leaves me feeling happy. All this, and a non-violence moral from our saint of the savat kick, too. See you next time.

That will be the third episode tonight. I missed the second, as I said, but I can catch it next week, by which time the caravan will have passed. Oh well.

[Dark Fact]

Here's an idea for a Chuck Norris drinking game! :)

For every time you hear the guy's name, you take a shot! :D

Whenever you hear Too Much say "Too Much", you take a shot! :D

Whenever you hear Klaw say "Remember this!", you take two shots! :D

[CaptainRed]

CaptainRed, what the Chuck Norris is wrong with you? Did you miss your Chuck Norris brand coffee this morning? :eek:

Hey, when you've just finished fighting off a Croc-a-pult, then you can cast aspersions.


While we're on the subject, you might be asking yourself why they used a Croc-a-pult, and not a Bear-holding-a-shark-a-pult. Well, it's simple thermodynamics, really. A fight between Chuck Norris and a shark bearing bear launched from a siege engine would've annihilated everything within a radius of two miles. Dr. Claw couldn't do that without losing the shuttle too.


(As a side note: isn't it just too perfect that this show came branded with a stylized "Cartoon Network" logo? I mean, that really shows the power of Chuck Norris, that even this derivative work holds enough power to presage the creation of a cable network.)

"Remember This" will keep you awake at night, for Norris feeds not on dormant prey.

[CartoonOverlord]

I saw the episode this morning and I must be say that this show is one the most awesomely bad shows in TV history!:D I'm TIVOing all of these episodes for future hilarity!

[Artimus Gigan]

They need to put this show on DVD

I want to hear what Chuck Norris thought about the whole series thru the commentary

Also....I found the toy commercial:

[Space Chief]

Just watched this and...:lol: to say the least. Chuck Norris with a red battleaxe thing and the guy with the Pinecone of Doom...:lol: to say the least. This is so insane it makes FLCL look like a documentary on ostriches.

"Breakin' up, trackin' down, fightingtheforcesofevil, wherever they're found!"

:lol::lol::lol:

[Beat]

I believe one has to ask- Who has the more messed up cast- Evangelion or Karate Commandos?

[One Radical Dude]

BAM!!! Chuck launched a barbell at some dude.

[Dub]

Man this show is so hilariously bad that its just a constant source of comedy gold. Three episodes in and already we got Chuck Norris VS Legions of Zombies. XD

Super Ninja's voice is like Bea Arthur via a cheese grater and the ninja kamikaze hangglider is just too good for words. :D

[lwitkop]

BAM!!! Chuck launched a barbell at some dude.

It's a good thing he stored that barbell in the "barbell launching" slot on the convertible.

What's up with Chuck sporting the cut-off shirts and tanktops in this episode?

[Dub]

Good night - what is RL Chuck Norris wearing at that gym?

LOL @ cliched Zombie moaning!

"UUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUWAAAAAAAAAAAUUUUUUUHHHGH!!!" One Zombies tongue was wagging so bad he looked like a KISS bandmember sans the makeup.

Oh my word....The voodoo leader has feathers and wears a top hat...

How did the zombies know exactly what Norris looked like in order to make accurate dolls?

....

Chuck Norris drop kicking zombies. How did he get the Karate Kommando's out of thier cages? HE DROPKICKS THEM. How does he stop Super Ninja? HE DROPKICKS THEM! Everything he is confronted with is solved by a DROPKICK. How can you not love this?

I love how they all grab vines and leap over the coming zombie horde which makes no sense.

Theyve reused the same running animation twice already XD

"THEY MUST BE STOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOPPED!!!"

Super Ninja attacks Chuck Norris with zombie magic and Chuck retaliates by chucking a samurai shuriken at his wrists. XD

Too Much is the human equivalent of Scrappy Doo.

For Super Ninjas, they really dont believe in the ninja philosophy of "all concealing shadows" do they?

The Claw has one of the worst villian designs ever.

As if the cliches werent bad enough now we have volcanoes.

Gawd I cannot stop bagging on Super Ninja's voice.

Skywriting CN in the sky lets the military know its Chuck Norris so everything is A-OK!!!


Wow. Just...wow.

[lwitkop]

I laughed out loud when the witch doctor appeared in his top hat with feathers.

Only to be topped by the jet plane drawing "CN" in the sky.

Was Chuck's friend with a barbell supposed to be a real-life cameo or was he just a conveniently placed friend with a barbell? I'm just wondering if he was someone I would notice if I was more well-versed in 80s action heroes.

[New Noise™]

I find this quite funny, actually. In the latest Nintendo Power issue, they totally made fun of Chuck Norris (check the Pulse section). I also heard that Norris was going to be in the original Street Fighter game, but he was taken out because there was a glitch that made him constantly do roundhouse kicks.

[ShadowGUN]

Was Chuck's friend with a barbell supposed to be a real-life cameo or was he just a conveniently placed friend with a barbell? I'm just wondering if he was someone I would notice if I was more well-versed in 80s action heroes.

I dont know but I notice he look awful lot like The Rock did in the Scorpion King.

[Nftnat]

Which cast is more messed up? Not enough information for a valid comparison, as we know jack squat about the personal / family lives of the KKs.

I found the show's entry on bcdb; they hired a psychiatrist to come up with those pro-social messages. And it was supposedly a five-part movie. Does this seem like a movie to anyone? Can anyone connect these episodes in any way? I can't, although I've only seen two.

Anyway, to episode 3.

When I saw RL Chuck in the gym I of course thought of the Total Gym Fitness whatever that he and Mrs. Billy Joel-at-the-time are currently plugging; did anyone not?

Tabe is always eating- wait, are we sure his name's not Tubby?

Glad the satellite antenna is on our side, now there's a set-up if I ever heard one; and one that wasn't followed up. Whadda ya know, they can come up with a twist.

Head villain's pet piranha, check.

Apparently 'Norris' is a trigger word for Super Ninja's rage, and Claw knows it. Does anyone else think that SN has a hard-on for Norris?

I've not seen those attaching disc grenades anywhere else; has anyone else here?

Well, I guess Too Much is good for a little.

Someone beat me to the kamikaze, but not to the spiked gloves.

I guess that was a soft landing for the satellite, in a swamp er sum junk, but it still didn't look so good. Then again, I should look so good after a trip through the atmosphere, or was that even shown here? Not that I remember.

I think Chuck's friend's name was Tank. He wouldn't have been The Rock, who was still in school at the time. Maybe it was his father, Rocky Johnson. They never did go back for that barbell, did they?

Duh, Mr. Director! Who is this guy, Mr. Director from Animaniacs? Froynleven! Of all the superflouus lines...

Voodoo Island, wasn't that a movie? And what country owns this island, and why haven't they sent in troops to clean up that island?

Whatever you do, don't leave Too Much alone, and they didn't; I was concerned there for a second or two.

One of those zombies is dressed like a businessman; another likes like Chuck Norris himself.

BWA-HA-HA-HA-HA, it's the bokor Yaphet Kotto played on Live and Let Die! All that's missing is the Paul McCartney & Wings soundtrack.

Oh, how did the zombies know how to sculpt those voodoo dolls? Super Ninja directed them. But wait, don't you need something belonging to the victim to make the doll work?

Where's Norris? He's around. What, you think he'd send those kids onto the island and not come around himself? And how big is the island? You'd have better luck looking for him yourself, Super Ninja.

A booby trap, figures it would be Too Much who would trip it. Now, if it was a boob trap, he'd have been finished then & there.

Too Much got the doll, and it promptly went to join 'Glad it's on our side' in the plot threads that no one even tried to follow up department.

Chuck handed out tasks to 3 of his 5; what about the other 2? "Dean, keep Too Much out of trouble. Bind and gag him if you have to, or maybe even if you don't."

Tubby trying to ride that Big Wheel, well, it was smaller than a Big Wheel on him.

Two words, Chuck: friendly fire. I'm reminded of a story Dad tells about when he was in the air force. Their plane had been struck by lightning and was coming in over North America. The radio was shot, and next thing they knew there were fighter jets alongside them. They could have shot them down, but instead they got an escort. Good thing too, there was only 15 minutes of fuel left.

Maybe Chuck should have done like Rocky Squirrel and skywrote 'US Taxpayer'; the military needs all of those they can get. But instead they went for the synergy that was years and years into the future.

One more thing. The point of all this, according to RL Chuck, was that someone made a mistake. Who? What was the mistake? Us for watching this? Speak for yourselves; I'm enjoying this junior GI Joe.

[Dub]

Also....I found the toy commercial:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FBCtY5e-hds&search=Karate%20Kommandos

The kid screaming HIIIIII-YA for Super Ninja every 5 seconds was just hilariously funny. Even the TOY COMMERCIALS are bad. :D

Man this falls squarely under one of the great "What the hell were they thinking?" moments in history.

Centurions' entire first season was just five episodes, they were also billed as a "mini-series", but they have nothing in common. The show would go back and later revisit some things in the pilot episodes (like Sealab) when they went to a full episode order

I stand corrected. CaptainRed has been drinking too much Chuck Norris brand paint.

:lol: No!!!
Why not? This show is asking for it.

"Hey! Let's go to Tibet to find a stolen microchip!"

I have realized that Chuck does not fight with a battleaxe. No, it looks more like something you would find on a Lego Bionicle or something.

We need more Youtubed episodes.

[Delthayre]

Poor Super Ninja, besides being beaten every time, he seems to sometimes become confused and think he's Cobra Commander.

The live-action Chuck Norris introductions seem to be become less and less relevant to the actual episodes as the show went on. In fact, I can't even make a tangential connection between making mistakes and retrieving stolen satellites.

[Anyone00]

This show has a very high "Norris"-to-pronoun ratio.

[One Radical Dude]

Nothing like eating on the job, and hosing down the enemies, also. :p

[Dub]

DEADLY DOLPHIN! ITS THE YOU TUBE INTRO ONE! :D

What the heck is with this show and naked people?

The villian of the day is ANGELFISH! :D

Sealab...you have got to be kidding. LOL! Claw closeup

Commandos with lasers that turn into powder.

They rammed the boat onto shore, created a sandstorm and caused ninja's WEEARING MASKS MIND YOU to break into coughing fits.

DROPKICK!

Too Much gets attacked AGAIN.

LOL! The screams as they fall off the girders are just great. And every part of the intro is from this episode.

Have you noticed that in EVERY episode one of the ninjas is left behind and Chuck Norris goes "We'll find out" and the stares at the ninja intently and then in the next scene we NEVER see the ninja again. Chuck gets what he needs and then dispenses with his enemies! :D

I keep hearing so many people make parallels to this and Jackie Chan Adventures. Dark Ninjas? Check. Fat Sidekick? Check. Annoying sidekick? Check. Except this is MUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUCH worse.

LMAO! OK - he threw the grappling thingy at the gunman, pulled him in two different directions and tossed him off the ship. That was the most unbelievable thing I have ever seen animated.

And naturally the fat guy is attracted to food. NEVAH WASTE FOOD!!!! Then he proceeds to bash heads in. Broken English and Bad Manners. This is the most stereotypical thing I have ever seen. :D

These guards couldnt hit the broad side of a skyscraper let alone a barn.

...Did Pepper's hair just SPARKLE as she dried off?

The Karate Kommando's are SO USELESS. They get kidnapped EVERY EPISODE.

Angel Fish has done everything right. Yet Claw replaces her with Super Ninja. SUPER NINJAS TRACK RECORD HAS BEEN ASS! THIS MAKES NO SENSE!

super ninja came in and he was just like "HO. THIS BE MY STATION" and you just felt his power with his ten turtle headed symbol on his chest and he's all like "GO AHEAD B****. CALL THE CLAW. FULL POOOOWAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHH!!!!!!!"

Uh oh! Here come the DEADLY DOLPHINS THAT ARENT REALLY SO DEADLY! :D

They left them with weapons in their cells? They deserve to get thier behinds beat with a simultaneous FLYING KARATE KOMMANDO KICK

They tiptoe around in broad view like the Scooby Doo gang. And you know what. PEPPER IS UTTERLY USELESS

LOL! THEY LAUNCHED OFF OF DOLPHINS AND ONE OF THE DOLPHINS KNOCKED OUT A NINJA! THAT IS PERFECT XD

LMAO @ Super Ninjas baffling kamikaze screams!

Angel Fish is the only person on this show with sense.

suepr ninja fight is the best thing ever. chuck kicks down a metal door and punches through a metal brick.

Pull the plug equates to chucking a spear at machinery and electrocuting it.

"what took you so long?"
"a couple of creeps... named super ninja and angel fish."

LOL! Angelfish gets tossed about by Dolphins! This is the GREATEST ENDING EVER!

"i know you're not going to have to go agianst the claw..." He just tried to wipe out a city with a tidal wave and RL Chuck equates this to feeling down?! At what point was anyone down in this episode? The RL segments make NO SENSE!

[lwitkop]

With the propensity for showing Chuck flesh on this show, I was a bit worried when he started to strip off his wetsuit before sneaking into Sealab.
*insert bad "going commando" joke here*

[ShadowGUN]

Man what a rip off. There weren't any deadly dolphins :mad:.

So the Claw wanted to takeover a "Sea Lab"( this episode will make a awesome team up episode with the cast of Sealab 2121 if WS ever decide to make a parody of this show) that create Tsunamis? Wait why does a law biding Sealab has a generator that creates Tsunamis in the first place?

I love Norris reaction to Pepper question:
"What took you so long?"
"A couple of creeps... *long pause* named Super Ninja and Angel Fish."

It too bad there only one episode left. This show such a guilty pleasure.

[Quincy Archer]

Did anyone notice when Chuck and Tabe were swiming with the dolphins and the ninjas spotted them only the dolphins which of course is I understand they hid underneath them. But the thing the dolphins HAD UTILITY BELTS ON!!! But wouldn't they didnt it think was a little strange that Flipper had a pair of pliers on his butt?

[Mercy Drive]

I think this is concrete fact Chuck Norris shares the same continuity as Centurions.

[Beat]

I think they just reused the name, since the Centurions Sealab is way nicer. Besides Sunrise animated Centurions. I don't think they animated this.

Not to mention Centurions wasn't so...outright...I dunno what to call this show now.

[Mercy Drive]

But Sunrise animated Centurions. I don't think they animated this.

Not to mention Centurions had way more eps.

Because it's Hannah-Barbera, they seemed to always include Sealab in their shows in the 80's, Centurions, now this, and the Dolphins having unexplained equipment attached to their sides was actually explained on Centurions.

[D.Shaffer]

Not to mention Centurions wasn't so...outright...I dunno what to call this show now.Horrible 80's cheese? :D

[Mercy Drive]

Horrible 80's cheese? :D

...You picked the easy route. Too simple, must I slap simple out of you?:anime:


It's peculiar.

[One Radical Dude]

:lol: :lol: :lol:

There goes that "old lady" taking off -- an imposter, that is!!

Loved the live-action segments, especially what Norris said at the end. :D

[lwitkop]

Tabe made one hell of a hood ornament.

It was kind of small and off to the side, so I almost didn't notice it, but when Chuck was about to crash in the canyon, Super Ninja was doing this great full-arm clapping like a little kid going, "YAY!!"

[Anyone00]

The Claw: Gag him.
Anyone00: Thank you!

[Tobias]

Why do I get the feeling that Super Ninja was picked on a lot in school? He's got to be, like, the LEAST competent ninja ever.

[Delthayre]

I love how The Claw used his enormous damned claw for manipulating small objects, such as levers and microphones, for which I would expect that a massive crushing device is rather poorly suited.

I bet he's really just a frustrated porceline doll and crystal sculpture collector underneath the mean-spirited, evil exterior.
