Andrew Bond posted a discussionWarner Brothers' proposed live-action Hong Kong Phooey and Marvin the Martian movies are all but dead. More accurately, Marvin is officially cancelled and HKP is circling the drain. At one point both were in the works, and Eddie Murphy was even attached to 'Phooey.' This piece of casting required the studio to go to the outrageous lengths of...dialing Eddie Murphy's phone. Director Alex Zamm, who was attached to both projects, has just released test footage from the respective films. To say we dodged a bullet is a bit of an understatement. Lame jokes, toilet humor (literally), and groin trauma? Face. Palm. Take a look at the separate reels of footage and let us know what you think.

Comment by Majin B-mag on January 1, 2013 at 7:01pm Hong Kong Phooey = decent CG, lame ass jokes, leave the project dead.
Marvin the Martian = decent CG, annoying kid, lame jokes, pointless pop-culture refrences, leave the project dead.
Lesson learned = NEVER LET THIS "ALEX ZAMM" RUIN CLASSIC CARTOONS
Comment by Peter Finn on January 1, 2013 at 3:43am The video doesn't work any more. Is the footage available elsewhere? I'd like to see exactly what kind of a bullet we dodged.
Comment by Matthew A. Sawtell on December 31, 2012 at 2:28pm @Bagheadman - Oops... Aku. Regardless, no Mako, no movie... unless the folks that set up Roger Ebert's new "voice" could do something similar...
Comment by Bagheadman on December 31, 2012 at 11:01am It's Aku, not Haku.
Comment by DickVanSwype on December 31, 2012 at 7:43am The video no longer works.
Comment by Plikis on December 31, 2012 at 2:32am Oh, wow. These are absolutely fucking horrible.
Comment by Matthew A. Sawtell on December 31, 2012 at 1:34am Okay... Marvin as a short film - yes. Hong Kong Phooney... No. Eddie is not Scatman, period. One of the reasons I believe there will never be a Samuari Jack film - Mako is dead, so no voice for Haku (the main villian).
Comment by Luke Hero on December 31, 2012 at 12:07am It's only a matter of time before they pimp out every God Damn Cartoon they can....
Comment by TS on December 30, 2012 at 11:40pm This looks as shitty as his other movies. Sad days sad days sad days.
