Hong Kong Phooey is an American Saturday morning animated television series produced by Hanna-Barbera Productions and originally broadcast on ABC.
[2] The main character, Hong Kong Phooey, is the clownishly clumsy secret identity of Penrod "Penry" Pooch, an anthropomorphic dog working at a police station as a "mild-mannered" janitor under the glare of Sergeant Flint, nicknamed "Sarge".
One example was when he drove the Phooeymobile through wet cement, splattering the workers: they responded that it was an "honor to have a whole day's work ruined by the great Hong Kong Phooey".
In this two-part episode, new characters Honcho, The Mystery Maverick, and the Posse Impossible, appear and help to clear Hong Kong Phooey of a crime.
The show's opening theme, titled "Hong Kong Phooey", was written and composed by Hoyt Curtin, William Hanna, and Joseph Barbera, and sung by Crothers.
A cover performed by Sublime is included on the 1995 tribute album Saturday Morning: Cartoons' Greatest Hits, produced by Ralph Sall for MCA Records.
The set also includes production designs, never-before-seen original artwork, new interviews, and the special feature Hong Kong Phooey—The Batty Bank Gang: The Complete Storyboard.
With a copyright of 2001, Alan Lau, in conjunction with Wildbrain.com, produced a flash animation webshow cartoon that was prominently featured on CartoonNetwork.com, and could still be found there as of the middle of June 2015.
While Penry appears identical to the original incarnation, Hong Kong Phooey is a much larger, cut, and highly competent and skilled fighter—even without Spot the cat.
