Underdog

Yes, Underdog finally gets his day in an upcoming film! We saw a preview for it at TMNT the other day. It's live action with Underdog played by an actual dog.

It's about time!

 

[Brian R. VanCise]

Yes I saw this when we watched TMNT a couple of weeks ago. My kid's both want to go so I am sure to see it.

Kids? Heck, my wife and I want to see it!

"There's no need to fear. Underdog is here!" I remember that from when I was a kid. A janitor type dog with superpowers... I remember that he could fly, was super strong (natch), had super hearing but can't remember his other powers... didn't he have lazer beam eyes or x-ray eyes or something like that?

The show I remember was marginally successful, think it ran for a couple of seasons. :idunno: depends upon the writers and directors on this one.

 

[crushing]

Underdog's alter-ego was as a meek shoe shine boy. One of my favorite 'toons as a youngster. I'm not so sure I like the idea of this being live action. We'll see. . .

I have a feeling tyhis could be very good......or very bad!
I loved that show as a kid too.

 

[stickarts]

Wasn't one of his arch enemies named Simon?

 

[arnisador]

I'm not so sure I like the idea of this being live action. We'll see. . .

Yes, I do wonder how that'll turn out...animated may have been better. We'll see!

Wasn't one of his arch enemies named Simon?

Yes, Simon Bar Sinister!

When criminals in this world appear,
And break the laws that they should fear,
And frighten all who see or hear,
The cry goes up both far and near for
Underdog!
Underdog!
Underdog!
Underdog!
Speed of lightning, roar of thunder,
Fighting all who rob or plunder
Underdog, Underdog!
When in this world the headlines read
Of those whose hearts are filled with greed
And rob and steal from those in need.
To right this wrong with blinding speed goes
Underdog!
Underdog!
Underdog!
Underdog!
Speed of lightning, power of thunder,
All the world cries out for Under
Underdog, Underdog!

Arnisador- had a very dull childhood? Kidding- I still remember all the words to Mighty Mouse he he
funny the things that we remember

 

[Kreth]

Call me a purist, but I'm with crushing. I don't see a live-action Underdog doing it for fans of the original show.

Arnisador- had a very dull childhood?

Hey, the Get Smart film is coming too! It'll be an exciting time for me.

...and don't forget the 6 million dollar man is being re-made too!

...and don't forget the 6 million dollar man is being re-made too!

Yeah but as a comedy... he'll be worth 6 million dollars... in today's economy, so expect some quirky and maybe not-so-funny (or maybe quite funny) moments... depending upon the writer and director and actor.

Yes! You're right a shoe-shine boy... duh... it was Hong Kong Fooey that was the janitor, sorry I got my sooper dawgs mixed up.

I had heard Jim Carrey was doing it but I don't know if that is still true or not.
