Danger Island

[MVPgoalie]

Haha that brings me back

[logico303]

A ilha do perigo TV RIO CANAL 13 - 1972

eu viví essa historia

[darkangel2347]

Get a multi-zone (worldwide) DVD player and get the R2 or R4 version of the Banana Splits show on DVD and find out if the heroes get off the island or not.

[Countrygent100]

Uh-ohhhh... DRONGO!!!!

[Azaan1016]

loved this show also as a kid...now I look back and realized it was a showcase for stereotypes and buffoonery.

[DickieAnginson]

I feel dizzy now. And slightly nauseous.

[darkangel2347]

You can watch all 36 parts of this show on the official Banana Splits season 1 DVD box set. I own this set and for the first time ever, I got to see all 36 parts the way it should be seen. I watched the Banana Splits as a kid in the late 1970's and the network always played the episodes out of sequence. The DVD is only available for R2 and R4 regions. I have the R2 region DVD and a multi-zone DVD player to play it on.

[crispycritterz]

There are only pirate copies floating around the net. After I posted this, a few people posted the entire series on youtube. When Turner Broadcasting goes after them, they'll go away.

[InweTaralom]

This was a cool show.

Is it on DVD yet?

POOR BASTARD HOW HE FUCKED UP HIS LIFE MICHAEL JAN VINCENT VERY HOTTTTTTTTT NOW A WORTHLESS DRUNK. POOR DEVIL BOOZE IS NEVER THE ANSWER.THANK GOD WE CAN STILL GET HIS MOVIES WHEN HE WAS TOP OF WORLD VERY HANDSOM.BEST WISHES VINCE

[gibbopg]

This was included as part of the Banana Splits hour...along with some great cartoons like Arabian Knights (Size of an elephant etc) and The Three Musketeers. But I especially enjoyed Danger Island (with the young Jan Michael Vincent).

[Cheessa]

@gibbopg I remember that too. Good memory. Whoever chose the names of the Banana splits must have been ...not LOW... ;) 

[IHateBugs69]

I totally forgot about this one. I loved this show!

[drjamyma]

00:46

[drjamyma]

:46

[ssorcgnuoy]

You just can't get insanity like this anymore.

[jptang1701]

Even when I was a little kid I always wanted to kill that Pirate guy son-of-bitch!

[greedyjr]

Spider Merangue PIE!

[Tesiay]

Watched this just for Ronne Troup

[rvisual]

Love the drums (trombones too)!

[woverby1963]

My god, i LOVED this show when i was a kid, had forgotten about it all this time, what a blast from the past, thanks!!!

[JDeGroom]

Uh oh, Chongo!

[InweTaralom]

I love the little lion cub.

[joesmoe71]

All I can remember of the show was everytime they yelled "Uh oh, Tongo!" some crackhead would come running out of the woods and have a tard-spaz on everyone.

[InweTaralom]

I remember this stuff! I used to love this show!

Of course, I was about four years old, but I didn't care!

[MsPrincesssweetgirl]

ewwww!

[Beautifulmusiclistnr]

This is amazing! I haven't seen this in about 35 years. Danger Island....I forgot it existed, but I always remembered the words "Uh Oh, Chongo". This is really a blast from the past, and it reminds me of quality stuff I watched as a child. The truth is that everything on the Banana Splits was the Best! All the shows on the Banana Splits were too cool. When I watched it back then, everything was "neat" and "groovy"! Thanks for posting this!

[whoadude1959]

This was one of my FAVORITE shows....when Danger Island came on I would be sitting on the floor about a foot away from the t.v. screen! Great opening theme song and I loved every character! Thanks for the memories! Cindy

[glaster57]

Mr. Rockne Tarkington from Junction City, Kansas and the father of a classmate Keith Tarkington. It's a pleasure and honor.

[dukes0916]

Loved this show when I was a kid! Then we moved to a new town where school got out later & I never got home in time to watch it! Did they ever get off the island?!?

[crispycritterz]

@dukes0916 Sure they did. And they left Mu-Tan stranded there. Win all the way around.

[Hasenpfeffergals]

until now I always thought he said uh oh jungo

[maggie8me]

I named my cat Chongo because it reminded my dad of the banana splits. All of my cats have weird names.

[tibiafinger]

Jan Micheal Vincent was the Coolest.

[wileydredd]

The original LOST!

[woodylove85]

i watched this show all the time when i was young

[63gstone]

Does anubody know what ever happened to Chongo?

[GIRlovesWaffles]

These sequences were directed by no other than Richard Donner (director of Superman), who oddly enough had also directed three episodes of Gilligans Island in it's first season.

[crispycritterz]

@GIRlovesWaffles That's one of the fun parts of watching some of the old shows. You see some familiar, sometimes now famous names early in their careers.

[PeterHBne1]

@crispycritterz Seriously??? Richard Donner???? I can see whay I loved this show soooooo much back then. Great music. That drumming used to get me going....

[199291931]

It must have been a hoopla of fun to make this show.

[terminalbooboo]

Uh Oh! Chongo!

[kaowens4368]

Uh Oh! Chongo!

[treasguy]

I used to love this show when I was a kid! Funny, adventurous, scary - it had it all!

[crispycritterz]

Please stick to discussing the video. There is a chat room for youtube. Launch your personal attacks there.

[ObeyVonZip]

Hey look. Jan Michael Vincent before he discovered Vodka!

[JahaysusKahrist]

@ObeyVonZip BWAAAHAHAHAHAHA you're hardcore man hahahahaha

[destronia123]

Was this Jan Michael Vincent's first acting gig?

[Owlzindabarn]

At 0:14 did she kick him in the family jewels?

[mH8675309]

uh oh Chongo!

[WhitewashTheThird]

@mH8675309 I remember everyone at school shouting that phrase. Not sure why, guess it just sounded good.

[ultramanhayata1]

@WhitewashTheThird You can also hear it in the movie Detroit Rock City!!

[gordonsavile]

@WhitewashTheThird The banana splits said it.

[melollylolly]

great show-kids don't know what they're missing nowadays-everything they watch is so computerized now

[VinnyLT9000]

@melollylolly hmm... less on the fact that computer animation has taken over but more on the fact that nowadays everything is corrupt with superficial teenage girls raising are children. i hate what iCarly is going to do to the future.

[auntbecky]

@VinnyLT9000 Before you make a statement on morality and what's wrong with the youth of today please learn to spell.

[rhondalinzynelson]

i loved this show when i was a kid man im old..

[Skymouth]

Good good stuff! They sure don't make them like they used to!

[ambrabeza]

Those dancing cave people kinda freaked me out.. lol

[crispycritterz]

I've seen worse at raves. (lol**2)

[thebooth]

1:07 represents every boy's adventure dream!

[crispycritterz]

That IS pretty cool!

[116Eggleston]

i like the show

[catbird007]

thanks for posting.....those were the days'

[westport1776]

Looking at Danger island looks like a Wacky Crazed Episode of CBS Survivor.

LoL!

[Owlzindabarn]

UH OH---CHONGO!!! god I loved this serial; I wish they'd edit it into a feature-length movie and sell it. It's so delightfully politically incorrect; and you have to admit that native bonking his head on the cave entrance was pretty dang funny

[Anthonykahana]

I had to wake-up on Saterday mornings wacthing my father making bird calls. And running from fans at school, wanting to meet Chongo. I was always Chongo's Son and had extra attention after school !

[crispycritterz]

Most kids would be happy about stuff like that.

[longbobjohnson]

Wow. The info. section says Richard Donner has been asked to make this into a film. Sounds like a capstone to an already sketchy career. Just what we need--another racist, primitivist film from Hollywood. Best to just write this off as something you enjoyed when you were too young to know any better. Leave it dead where it belongs.

[crispycritterz]

I agree that there have been too many failed attempts at resurrecting old shows as movies (FAR too many to list here,) but to do so because it would be "P.C." is a pretty weak. I'm sure Donner has been approached about other shows he has directed and like this one he has remained mute on the subject.

This one is so loaded with camp that it really can't be mocked any better than it has done to itself.

I have my doubts it would be done, but Hollywood is so greedy that anything is possible.

[PerryHallsFakeOrgasm]

I always did wonder if Chongo was any good in bed.

[gunpei]

wow danger island looks like a kick ass place to party.

[Novantii]

i watched the entire danger island library once on LSD and woke up a few days later with a novel i had written by accident about desert time travel, belly dancer slaves, and human-spider DNA exchanges. It was published in a bi-annual sci-fi magazine.

[harporocks]

ut-oh Chongo!

[mkl62]

Ronne guest starred on Adam-12 and Emergency if I'm not mistaken. The black guy, Morgan, was on an episode of Andy Griffith and was the only black to appear on it. The pirate, Mutan, drank himself to death in the 70's.

[kblakleyk916]

Yep Morgan was Opies football coach. Funny. Just saw it last nite on TVland.

[mkl62]

The Banana Splits were one of my favorites growing up. This was a part of the series, along with The Arabian Knights, Three Musketeers, Hillbilly Bears, and Micro-Ventures. Only 4 episodes of the MV were produced. Later, when The Splits went into syndication, Gulliver and Huck Finn were added.

[doro626]

Wow, this is like 31 flavors of racist. I can't believe I used to watch this as a kid. Were they actually riding the natives like aniamls? Chongo sounded like a Monkey?

[vger3456]

@doro626 It was done as a comedic joke that kids were supposed to be able to relate to...

[recuerdoiguala]

brings back memories.i loved wacthing the banana splits. great.

[optimusprime209]

i just can't understand why there is a guy named Link.

[zztopis]

The Theme song to this was bad ass 1960s sound to it

If you like this intro check out the one for Gta London

1969.

[emily555a]

excellent thanks for posting this!

[Wellch]

wow, A girl who is not afraid to fight back...and this was in the 1960s. I almost forgot about this show.

[TammiWayKewl]

Danger Island was similar in many ways to the live action serials shown on the original "Mickey Mouse Club" back in the 50's.

[crispycritterz]

For a kids show the production values were pretty high.

[OU8121ST]

I Remember this how funny

[crispycritterz]

Comedy. And filler too. The mood had to be kept light.

[stevedangerisland]

Why do you think they kept those rapid clips of the cream pie in the face hits as part of the opening segment?

[aztekarrow]

It was the original Lost.

[jason60chev]

Who was the girl? I forgot about her. She is DAMN HOT!!!

[2005dave]

Ronne Troup.

[LadySierraSays]

Ut OHH Chong go !!! , I remember this stuff , still kind cool yet corny !!!!

[clintbronson5]

I'd kill for some Chongo pants :)

[ernstblofeld70]

Probably the greatest intro ever. My favorite show when I was 4-5, airing on syndication in 70s Mass.

[jesterjimmy]

I remeber watching this when I was a kid and my dad telling me to turn it off as it was giving him a headache. 40 years later he was right

[AmazingG07]

I always enjoyed watching this - especially yummy Jan-Michael Vincent!

[thesteveus]

Chongo (or whatever is name was) always vaguely reminded me of MIchael Jackson.

Although I'm fairly sure Chongo never fucked any kids......

[majentarocks]

It's Polly! Chip's wife from "My Three Sons"

[zenarcade64]

You Go Jan Michael Vincent!

[pokedatwithastick070]

LOL strange mix of animals - from all over the world.

[mslaerik]

Uh oh JONGO!

[Radicalreels]

I Love this Show! Is it on DVD, yet? They don't have awesome stuff like this anymore!

[crispycritterz]

There are only pirated versions, so far.

[chookter1]

There is an actual island called this, lmfao!

[vger3456]

@chookter1 I would not go there!

[lilynick1]

The beauty is that, although people get their come uppance, no one actually gets hurt! Great fun!

[boofdfast]

Was Chongo the 1st famous Filipino actor? HAHAA!!! :P

[Rhubba]

What other show in TV entire history features mad cannibal islanders, the first kick in the nads on kids TV, sacrificial victims, fights, monkeys, nearly naked men shaking their bootys, 60s disco, cutlasses, death by watermelon and a custard pie fight...and that's just the opening titles!

[crispycritterz]

You know, I couldn't have said it better.

Bravo! I laughed for 20 minutes after reading this.

[electricland]

Brillant stuff. I haven't seen it it years.

TV was fun back then.

[britfrenir]

I used to see this on "The Bannna Splits" and my mother said was a movie before it was on the show. I wonder if it was one of those camp shows like Bat Man and the shows that started in the mid to late 1960's.

[khurit]

uh oh...  CHANGO!!!!

[Meren32]

Oh Oh Jungo

[Cool2BCeltic]

Yes, I picked up his name wrongly too. I thought the big afro-american guy called out "Oh oh, Jungle" and he was called Jungle because that was where he lived.

[pokedatwithastick070]

It was Chongo

[uncagado]

i can see this, in the banana splits show

[SeanLaw]

Oh man, I remember this.

"Dangerrrr Islaaaand!"

What the heck were this show's producers ON??

[crispycritterz]

Remember, there was a time when directors and writers didn't talk down to their audiences. Even when they were kids. This show exemplifies that.

[jtm6287]

I remember watching this show on tv as a kid!! I didnt think you could watch the whole series but imissmytvshow. com has it.

[bds1167]

I think this show came on in the weekday afternoons after the Banana Splits. Along with HR Puff N' Stuff, it's a wonder that more of us Gen Xers aren't more screwed up from this trippy shows!

[solipsism101]

UH OH, CHONGO!!!

[flowrider2007]

Man this is a classic

[hanajr85]

My Dad is Chongo, it was a cool chilodhood growing up, our back yard was like Danger Island...

[maxrome67]

I dont know if my DAD IS CHONGO or the black muscle guy, as my mom dated both the same time and DNA was not so hot those days! Having said that it could be a number of other guys she dated back then?

Oh - Oh Chongo!

[wahs1984]

I had the HUGEST crush on Ronne Troup who played Leslie. I often whatever happened to her. I know she was the daughter of Bobby Troup from the 1970s drama "Emergency" but I never saw her act again after Danger Island. I really miss those old Saturday morning cartoons!!

[TammiWayKewl]

Ronnie Troup went on to star on "My Three Sons" during its last years on the air. She probably quit show biz after that.

[particlebox]

Actually if you look her up in the internet movie database, she was still acting as recently as 2005.

[vger3456]

@TammiWayKewl She has also appeared on The West Wing, Cold Case, The Practice, Murder She Wrote, and Strong Medicine

[kristell9]

A movie serial for our generation! All the adventure and no imitatable acts.

[RTSiciliano]

Uh-Oh, CHONGO!!!!!

[GypsyFairy69]

I wanna go to Danger Island! Let's all go! Get into a fight, smoke some stuff and have a Mai Tai on the beach. Seriously brings back some good memories.

[sinister066]

little did they know jan michael vincent was going 2 get his hands on a gazillion dollar helicopter...oh oh...chongo..lol

[mullalou]

oh o chongo

[simbiotic]

TRIPY SHIT MAN !

[crispycritterz]

Out of all the charaters on this show, Chu and the Skeleton men used to freak me out. There was just something scary about them. Mu-Tan was an amazing charater. He was as manaical as they come, but wacky at the same time... burr...

[sumfn2dootherthanbf2]

Great theme music. The intro probably goes longer than any of the actual episodes.

[sumfn2dootherthanbf2]

This was my fav part of the Banana Splits.

[jayakrsna108]

was this not shown on banana splits sat morning. i so much miss the old days when kids got a thrill from shows like this.. but now....

[kypros2k7]

wow super memories - my mom would be cooking usual saturday soup in the afternoon while i would be watching this lol - was 8 at the time - had a crush on the blond hair guy lol

[templeclay]

That was a young Jan Michael Vincent who later became famous with his action aeries "Airwolf"

Danger Island is an short exciting segment!

[harpangel]

Lol....this is so great,I love the music!

[plyg]

the black guy on danger island played a terrorist on death before dishonor.

[mikeycereal]

Loved to watch this show a a kid. I was scared of the sleteton men! Me and my friends used to play Danger Island in the yard a lot (back when kids played outside!). He was Hawaiian and was always Chongo. I was always Jan Michael before he became a slobbering drunk.

[Consolcwby]

O.o So, you don't play it anymore?... But seriously, having this whole show on one DVD would provide the ultimate drinking game! =D

[vuetube]

Uh Oh! Chongo!

[raekwonyaeyo]

classic

[kbirdusa]

The blonde girl was Ronne Troup, who went on to play Chip's wife Polly on "My Three Sons". Kind of a sedate comedown if you ask me.

[plyg]

do you know who the african american actor is?

[crispycritterz]

That is Rockne Tarkington.

He's largely retired from acting.

[TasiaBrooklyn]

OMFG...UH-OH, CHONGOOOOO!!!! LMAO...I will never forget this!!

[suzabelle162]

hey! that's what I was gonna say...uh oh, chongoooo! I loooved this show. wish someone had an actual epi to post!

[agcat]

Directed by Richard Donner. Who is BTW still a hack.

[crispycritterz]

lol... but he makes money!

[whitewolfalex]

any favorite movies from him you like?

[CandyKane1]

Great show. Jan Michael Vincent was so young. Now he is so gross.

[RHilstad]

I know Kim Kahana who played Chongo, known him for 10 years now. He is almost 80 years old and still inn greate shape.

[knightflyte]

Loved EVERYTHING about this show as a kid. Theme song, actors,comedy, settings etc etc. But my fave was Kim Kahana's Chongo. Tell Kim people still remember him fondly. Funny things he did on that show.

He must have been in his late 30s or so when he did Danger Island.

Danger Island had the funniest use of the old standby "The Banana Creme Pie Fight" since the 3 Stooges.

[Phundaze]

Great show!
