''Hong Kong Phooey'' is a 30-minute Saturday morning animated series produced by Hanna-Barbera Productions and broadcast on ABC from , to . It was a parody of kung fu shows and movies of the time. The main character, Hong Kong Phooey himself, is the clownishly clumsy secret identity of Penrod "Penry" Pooch,〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=IMDB:Hong Kong Phooey-Plot Summary )〕 working at a police station as a "mild-mannered" janitor under the glare of Sergeant Flint ("Sarge"). Penry disguises himself as Hong Kong Phooey by jumping into a filing cabinet despite always getting stuck — and unstuck by his striped cat Spot — and once disguised, gets equipped with the "Phooeymobile" vehicle that transforms itself into a boat, a plane, or a telephone booth depending on the circumstances by banging his gong or changes automatically whenever necessary. He fights crime relying on his copy of ''The Hong Kong Book of Kung Fu,''〔CD liner notes: Saturday Morning: Cartoons' Greatest Hits, 1995 MCA Records〕 a correspondence-course martial-arts instruction handbook. However, his successes are only either thanks to Spot, who provides a solution to the challenges, or the direct result of a comically unintended side effect of his conscious efforts. The background was designed by Lorraine Andrina and Richard Khim. ==Synopsis== Each episode begins with Rosemary, the telephone operator, getting a call (and routinely saying "Hallo, hallo, this is Rosemary the telephone operator, the lovely lassie with the classy chassis") and explaining the crime to Sergeant Flint, upon which Penry, the janitor, does the routine of transforming himself into the person on whom Rosemary has a crush by going through the passageway behind the vending machine, then jumping into the bottom drawer of his filing cabinet, getting stuck, and, with help from Spot, coming out of the top drawer. After sliding behind an ironing board to the floor below, he bounces off an old sofa, through an open window, into a dumpster outside, and emerges in the Phooeymobile. Even when he crashes into, harms, or otherwise inconveniences a civilian, the passer-by feels honored, as opposed to being annoyed or embarrassed, when they see who did it. 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." 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Hong Kong Phooey」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
