Swat Kats: The Radical Squadron

This gave me a chance to rejoice in childhood memories. The series is amazing, action driven and with strong characters. Kids of today don't know what they are missing out on!

nice serie

Remembered from my childhood.

Awesome series.

Excellent DVD. Let's kick some tail, with the SWAT Kats The Radical Squadron.

Kom aldrig. Håller på att prata med personalen om detta och hoppas att det här ska bli fixat. De skickade mitt paket med early bird och de har historia om försvunna paket så mitt blev troligen stulen. Jag också beställde Danny phantom så det var 2 cartoon som jag gillar som jag aldrig fick. Uppdatering! Jag har tyvärr inte fått mina pengar tillbaka och säljaren vill inte fixa det här så jag kommer aldrig mera att handla från den här säljaren. Jag fick aldrig vad jag köpte så jag kan inte rekommenderar den här säljaren.

Deadly bacteria! Doomsday devices! Robotic spiders! Sound like a big budget sci-fi thriller? Nope. Even better. It's the 5-Disc, 24-Episode Swat Kats: The Radical Squadron Complete Series Collection. Chance Furlong and Jake Clawson appear to be ordinary junkyard auto mechanics, until trouble occurs in Megakat City. In a flash they fly their high-tech Turbokat toward danger as T-Bone and Razor: the Swat Kats. The city is run by the power-hungry Commander Feral and his militant team of Megakat Enforcers. Jake and Chance were once Enforcers, but Feral demoted them to working in the scrap yard, where the Swat Kats were born. After being alerted on their secret hotline by the deputy mayor Callico Brigs they fly off to take on any kind of menace, from the undead sorcerer Pastmaster to lobster-like alien warlord Mutilor. The hardware-heavy action never stops in this animated fan-favorite from Hanna-Barbera Studios that's fur-flying fun! Ever since it first came out, I loved the SWAT Kats. There are few shows I can honestly say I never missed an episode of, even fewer that still entertain me today, but SWAT Kats was always at the top. My father liked watching it with me, it was that good. And now, here it is on DVD. Personally, I could care less about the bland menu & the lack of special features. Here's a review of all the episodes. 1.The Pastmaster Always Rings Twice: 2 grave robbers accidentally unleash the Pastmaster, an immortal sorcerer imprisoned in the Dark Ages. Now he seeks to bring the Dark Ages back, replacing the present. This is a great episode, with a cool villain & great animation by Mook, but not the best one to start the show with. A 2.The Giant Bacteria: After escaping from the SWAT Kats, the criminal Morbulus meets the mad scientist Dr. Viper, & becomes "a living test tube" for his new bacteria strain, turning him into the title monster. Again, great episode but not the best introduction to Dr. Viper. A 3.Wrath of Dark Kat: Dark Kat steals the material he needs to make a nuclear bomb and captures Feral. Now THIS should've been the first episode. Not just because it's one of the very best, but because of a flashback that gives us the SWAT Kat's origin story. A+ 4.Destructive Nature: Dr. Viper is back, & he's taken over the new Megakat Tower with an army of plants-and Callie's trapped inside! This is the first episode I ever saw. I remember turning the channel to... I honestly can't remember what & seeing this cat person (razor) fighting a bunch of plant things. Hey, it grabbed my attention. Also, this should be everyone's introduction to Dr. Viper. So when showing these to a friend, have them watch Episodes 3 & 4 first, then watch 1 & 2, then 5 until the end. 5.The Metallikats: Mac & Molly Mange, 2 of the greatest gangsters, are back from the dead as robots. They seek revenge on Mayor Manx. The Metallikats are my favorite villains. All the episodes featuring them are excellent. A+ 6. Bride of the Pastmaster: After almost entirely depleting their missile supply on a sea monster, the SWAT Kats get sucked into one of the Pastmaster's portals & into the Dark Ages. There, they must face Megalith City, ruled by Queen Callista, an ancestor of Callie's. This is a really good episode that sends the Kats into unfamiliar territory. A 7. Night of the Dark Kat: Dark Kat teams up with the villain Hard Drive to frame the SWAT Kats. My least favorite episode, apart from the short (we'll get to those in a minute). The animation by Mook is great, Hard Drive is a cool villain & I love the bit where Callie throws a bag at Dark Kat, but it's the old "bad guys make the good guys look bad" plot we've seen in almost every cartoon. Still, it's probably the best one, and overall not bad, just could have been better. B 8. Chaos In Crystal: An accident with a new mining device turns Rex Shard. This is one of the best looking non-Mook animated episode and the story's great too. A 9. The Ghost Pilot: The Red Lynx, one of the greatest pilots in Mega War II, is back from the dead as the title monster seeking revenge on the descendant of the kat who shot him down: Mayor Manx. Manx gets his greatest moment in the series here, and the Red Lynx is the best one-shot villain next to Mutilor. A 10. Metal Urgency: The Metallikats escape & stumble across the SWAT Kats base & their secret identities! Another excellent episode with my favorite villains. Mook chose right to animate this one. A+ 11. The Ci-Kat-a: A giant cicada from space infects a brilliant scientist & together they plan to turn the city into a nest for the creature's offspring. This is another great monster of the week episode. Insects make both T-Bone's & my skin crawl. A 12. Mad Kat: The ghost of a court jester possesses the failed comedian Lenny Ringtail, & now Mad Kat is out for revenge on the king, queen, knight & court jester who replaced him, or at least the modern versions of them. Another great episode with a memorable villain. A 13. Katastrophe: Dr. Viper, Dark Kat & the Metallikats team up to fight the SWAT Kats. This is the perfect ending to the first season, especially with the Mook animation. A+ 14. Mutation City: Megakat City has been flooded, and mutated creatures lurk in the waters. This is my favorite Dr. Viper episode & the perfect introduction to season 2. Mook takes over the animation & this series is better for it. A+ 15. A Bright & Shiny Future: The Pastmaster sends the SWAT Kats to a future where the Metallikats rule. This is my favorite episode of the whole series. I never thought I'd see the Pastmaster & the Metallikats in the same episode, let alone working together. This is just an excellent story. A+ 16. When Strikes Mutilor: An alien known as Mutilor invades the planet & steals all the water. This is the closest any episode of the series has come to perfection, but misses it due to a little slip up with how quickly the lead () changes from a pacifist to a fighter. Other than that, it's excellent. Mutilor is the best one-shot villain in the series. A+ 17. Razor's Edge: While chasing Dark Kat, Razor accidentally hits a building & an elderly couple gets hurt. He then feels that he can't fight anymore, for fear of hurting someone else. This is a surprisingly strong episode. A 18a. Cry Turmoil: A she-kat named turmoil takes over the airspace above Megakat City, so the SWAT Kats fly to stop her. The first of the short episodes, & it's pretty good actually, but it honestly should've been a full episode. A- 18b. SWAT Kats Unplugged: Hard Drive steals a device that scrambles weapons. When the SWAT Kats are hit by it, they have to find another way to beat him. A sign that the short episodes were not a good format for the series. C+ 19. The Deadly Pyramid: The pyramid of Katchu Picchu surfaces, along with the Pastmaster and an army of giant mummies. The Pastmaster's best solo episode. A+ 20. Caverns of Horror: The Enforcers & Ann Gora investigate the disappearance of several miners & find mutant scorpion monsters. I'm starting to get a little tired of the monster of the week episodes, but this is still pretty good. B+ 21a. Volcanus Erupts: Construction workers accidentally unleash a fire demon when they demolish a totem. The nadir of the series. It's not horrible it's just a bland monster of the week episode. 21b. The Origin of Dr. Viper: The synopsis is in the tile. The best of all the short episodes. They should've axed Volcanus & made this a full length episode. A- 22. The Dark Side of the SWAT Kats: When lightning strikes their radar, the shock teleports the SWAT Kats to an alternate universe where they're evil. Though they could have played with the concept more (make more heroes bad & some of the villains good) this is still a great episode. A 23. Unlikely Alloys: When the Metallikats steal a device to repair themselves they get more than they bargained for when it starts to assimilate everything mechanical insight. This is a great episode to end the series on. Not that it was supposed to end here (there are 3 unfinished episodes, that hopefully will be finished someday), but it could've been a lot worse. A+ SWAT Kats Special Report. A clip show. Don't waste your time with it. Like I said, this is a really good show. Buy it, you won't regret it. Maybe someday they'll bring it back. Wishful thinking I know, but I can dream...

child hood favorite that I could find no where else happy I still find it some where. whish they would have keep it going on as a longer series

Ich habe 20 Jahre auf diese Sammlung gewartet. Ich hätte auf ein bisschen Zusatzmaterial gehofft, aber mit der Serie allein bin ich glücklich genug.
