Except that Kung Fu Panda was actually good. Look at the clip. Other than the look of the character, there's really nothing about him that's anything like Hong Kong Phooey. The original was a clueless do-gooder. The new one is an unfunny jackass.

Re: Hong Kong Phooey And Marvin The Martian Live Action

We get these movies instead of The Herculoids, Jonny Quest, etc.?

Be glad for that. Because I'd hate to see Jonny Quest or The Herculoids being so royally screwed up.

What happened to Eddie Murphy's talent? How does someone go from being the funniest man on the planet to a no-talent hack?

Re: Hong Kong Phooey And Marvin The Martian Live Action

I wouldn't mind a movie that is made up of several segments of these live action cartoon characters. A whole movie on just one would be stretching the joke.

Murphy admitted a long time ago he only takes family friendly roles that pay well these days. Apparently, he does so to pay for his kids bullshit or whatever. Another comedian who lost his testicles a long time ago.

You can't have a Marvin the Martian movie. That makes as much sense as having an Elmer Fudd movie.

No Bugs, no funny.

Give it up to Eddie Murphy, I never liked his early movies or his stand-up...but he's really hit his stride with his last few movies.

No one has ever hit their stride in a Brett Ratner movie.
