80's cartoon intros based on movies

[alucard624]

What makes the Rambo cartoon intro friggin epic is the actual use of Jerry Goldsmiths score from the movies, something I have yet to have heard in any other animated series since.

[yugiohdeloestepr]

the based intro song is droids

[kiersh]

its funny how they have to add a girl to all these movies to make a cartoon

[karatekidbandicoot]

so basically rated R movies turn into kid shows

[loserhero1982]

oh and me and all my cousins owned the generic bad ninja from chuck norris

[loserhero1982]

haha the part where Daniel san is surfing on the torpedo fucking win they should make a ridiculous action movie with all those scenes throw reality right out the window

[jamauln1]

Douche chills. Nothing but douche chills.

[maximanttra]

So this cartoon seems to be cool,but in real life Daniel san was an idiot!a pussy!!...

[snowenorr]

Chuck Norris, Mother Fuckin man of ACTION!

[AleXX1995XX]

the 80s were the best!

[MsHolly30]

why is everybody always talking about chuck norris? even today my six year old thinks he's awesome and doesn't even knows who he is

[shinphatman]

The Chuck Norris cartoon made sure you knew you were watching a Chuck Norris cartoon.

"Chuck Norris" name drop count: ?

[karatekidbandicoot]

I love watching karate kid it's my favorite movie, but i didn't know karate kid was a cartoon back then.

[karatekidbandicoot]

I never knew karate kid was a cartoon.

[petercharleskrug]

2:56 Things I learned from this show: a hang glider can carry a motorcycle.

[karatekidbandicoot]

Chuck Norris was a cartoon? :O

[jerbojones]

is it just me or does the Droids intro song sound like a Police song?

[karatekidbandicoot]

I never knew rambo was a cartoon. But y would rambo be a cartoon that movie was sooo violent?!

[jerbojones]

@karatekidbandicoot lol I know so was Robocop

[HyperRush79]

Chuck Morris had a cartoon???

[BobbyDrake2000]

Ah, the 80's, when R rated movies aimed at adults were somehow turned into children's cartoons.

[MarkP0rter]

it's too dangerous chuck!

[whipnsnap]

3cpo...the first openly gay robot

[karatekidbandicoot]

WTF! I never knew Rambo and Karate kid were cartoons?!

[Mazmorrero2]

Fuck!!! Why did I never get to see the Chuck Norris' cartoon? Must have been epic.

[smashfanwii]

Chuck Norris and Inspector Gadget have a common enemy! I smell crossover!

[OmegaChaosZero]

Get me RAMBO



[Hotshotter3000]

Doesn't Tabi mean 'eat' in Japanese? Interesting choice of name for a Sumo Wrestler.

[Kaveeteh]

There was a Robocop cartoon and i never knew about it? Damnit!

[SquarishLink]

beware of the super ninja

[sanstache1]

RETARTED

[jetbelmont1]

@therovestar. I had the chuck Norris car and action figure actually. They were pretty cool

[WebVMan]

Only Chuck Norris can spell Commando with a K (well, that and Mortal Kombat)

[WebVMan]

Karate Kid had a cartoon?  WHOA!!!

[TheTovestar]

The Kirate Kid a cartoon? Are you serious? Wow! Chuck Norris? Good ol' Chuck. Next thing you know there were Chuck Norris action figures!

[Neville6000]

@TheTovestar: There WERE Chuck Norris: Karate Kommandos action figures, from Kenner/Hasbro, I believe.

[TheOnePsychotic]

I like the other Ewoks theme better. E E E E Ewoks!!

[Dashreddah]

Talk about inappropriate subject matter to turn into a cartoon. Why is there a Rambo cartoon??

[LunarWolf30]

CHuck Norris a cartoon with many racial stereotypes! Good Job Chuck, you insulted Japanese, Chinese, Mexicans, and Caucasians!

[robertwc82]

on the Chuck Norris add, the guy says the words "Chuck Norris" 9 times and begins every single sentence with "Chuck Norris" lol

[Brownshoe24]

Why is Mr. Miyagi cooler in the Cartoon !

[ang5523]

I just fuckin loved the Ewoks cartoon

[HubbsTheThird]

Get me RAMBO.

[xIegionx]

There was a Chuck Norris Movie?

What about Mr. T then?

[binwei]

I miss the days when it was okay to make cartoons based on R-rated movies.

[SuperHorrormoviefan]

cool

[kennybeam2002]

i remmber all of these cartoons all time faverits whe i was growing up when i was a kid.

[DavidTRichard]

OK I have to get the Chuck Norris cartoon on DVD so I can savor every episode.

[metalalan]

Back To The Future was another one.

[SickDashRendar]

@metalalan BTTF cartoon came out in the 90's. It aws more following on from BTTF 3.

[JD1010101110]

there was a rambo cartoon? what kid would have seen the movie?

[TVfanfanatic]

@JD1010101110 What kid would have seen Robocop? The origional cut was so violent, it had to be edited down to make it rated R instead of NC-17.

[genetvideos]

@TVfanfanatic I did.

[KingAshcroft]

For everyone of these shows, there are five identical counterparts

[underugmedia]

i forgot about the police academy cartoons.... memories lol.....

[mrxyz2k]

I couldn't blame anyone for forgetting star wars cartoon.

I think in latest 80's there was a star wars cartoon, other than Ewoks or Droids, it was include luke skywalker fight stormtroops, I saw it on Kuwait TV 2nd channel, But no body remember it, or wrote about it on internet!!

[cyberdragonessmaster]

look long and hard people proof the cartoons didn't always suck

[bross001Angus]

of all the cartoons, chuck norris is the one i don't remember.

[stosh3]

karate kid intro was traj

[goatindaruffness]

Fat Boys!!!

[peluchetaiwanes]

tmtm, who sings the opening of the Droids series ( the "trouble again" theme )? thank you for your time!

[goatindaruffness]

From wikipedia: The series' opening theme, "Trouble Again," was performed by Stewart Copeland of the Police and written by Copeland and Derek Holt.

[MattakaMouse]

back when cartoons were actualy good!

[GlennRoxWyo]

Got that right

[SergeantLuke]

So, basically, Rambo protects the peace-loving people of the world by blowing shit up?

[SinnFein4ever]

LOL!

'Guess so!

[alucard624]

@SergeantLuke Damn skippy, thats his way. Kinda like "Peace Through Superior Firepower."

[ang5523]

@SergeantLuke yep

[robert23456789]

@SergeantLuke

well what better way to save the world by blowing shit up

[petercharleskrug]

@SergeantLuke Yep. Ironic, ain't it?

Well, after all, Rambo only kills BAD guys, right?

[loserhero1982]

@SergeantLuke America Fuck Yea!

[WildWolf21]

@SergeantLuke By blowing.....EVERYTHING UP!!!

[wasp27]

@SergeantLuke Peace through superior firepower!

[battson123]

if they could do a robocop cartoon series where was the terminator cartoon series

[SergeantLuke]

My god that'd be awesome.

[luscaslayer]

Wow - cartoon Clarence Boddiker @ 2:17. Sure they didn't do the whole torture-murder scene from the Robocop movie, but it's cool that they at least made the villain's that killed Murphy look the same as they did, and not just generic bad guys.

[readordiefanatic]

KARATE KID!

[zeropolis79]

I remember most of them from the 80's. I would love to see them again..

The Rambo and Karate Kid sequences are differnt from what I remember though.

[AsherTye]

It is phenomenally amazing that someone thought some of these movies would be able to transition into children's programing.

[mooky9669]

Ghostbusters should have been on the list..I kinda remember the Karate Kid cartoon..looks bad from the intro..

[werdna213]

is it ture that chuck norris is so strong the boogie man checks under his bed for him?

[Jazzy9964]

Like Sometube57 stated.. Where's Ghostbusters.. I think there was an "Animal House" Cartoon Also

[sometube57]

great list. but where is ghostbusters. that show was great

[demon80]

Rambo is al legend even in cartoons.....before Rambo movie everyone knows that knife like "military knife", after Rambo movie everyone calls it "Rambo Knife".

[DoowopJohnnyBoy]

I remember a Cartoon that used to be on ITV or Childrens BBC around 4'ish that was foreign Sci Fi remenisent of Flash Gordon called 'The Golden Crown' it was Fuckin Awsome with a green Martian like evil queen character epic Space adventure like a 50's pulp SFcomics anyone else out there remember it let me know.

[GalaxyKnight91]

My favorite cartoon based on movies was Karate Kid.

[muahahascrewu]

mine too! i was just watching the movies on youtube yesterday

[themachman19691]

yeah was really good as a cartoon

[xXhamiltonXx]

The Karate Kid cartoon was the worst. I couldn't stand it, nor did the concept make any sense to me. I was just a child but still hated it's concept.

[GASMORG]

im so glad i never watch rambo and karate kid :P

[kebyonatin]

yha... STAR WARS rock.

[Zero081086]

jajaj

[AFMountaineer2000]

Honestly I only heard of Robocop & Police Academy, but the worst one I would have to say is the Star Wars Droid one. Who'd want to watch anything with just 3PO who along with Jar-Jar were the 2 most annoying characters in the whole saga

[Hotshotter3000]

Those Chuck Norris weapons look like plastic toys without any semblance to real weapons. The writers know their duty well... :p

[xavierprotocols]

The other Ewoks intro is way better!

We are the E-E-E-E-EEEE-Ewoks we're the the spirits of the forest moon.......

[TampaRed]

Fuck yeah!

[ghosthunter2110]

ewok´s are so cool star wars for ever

[HappySack2]

OH MY GOD CHUCK NORRIS!!!!1!!!111!!1111!!!!

*brain explodes from his manliness*

[wildsmiley]

Chuck Norris and the Asian Cliche Commandos! Don't forget Chop Suey, the Chinese chef who can beat the hell outta baddies with chopsticks and constantly spouts corny Confucius fortune cookie dialogue! YEAH! And the wicked cool of Surf Ninjas from outer space!!

Gyuh. Rather watch that Karate Kid cartoon. It's cheesy, but in a good way. Love to see Miyagi beat Chuck Norris down. "HONK".

[NinjaKrow]

Did you notice how pretentious it was? How many times did they have to say Chuck Norris? LAME!

[Hoodmask]

Wow, amazing how kid's movie adaptions of PG-13 to R-rated movies are so much better than the "kid freindly" watered-down shows cartoon network and (especially) 4Kids gives kids...

Ever occured to you?

[modoflowe]

yup

[pav777tube]

I especially like the style of the Droids animation. Kind of reminiscent of Heavy Metal

[ItchyGoomie]

Things have changed since then.. Now everything is reversed. They are making movies about cartoons now.. Fat Albert, The Grinch, Narnia, Scooby Doo, I heard about a Smurf movie being made, Chipmonks, UnderDog, Rocky and Bullwinkle... And I know Spongebob has to be right around the corner!!

[shinlord]

Adapting R-rated movies into cartoons for children is the best marketing strategy ever.

[ReijiThePhantom]

I wish there had been cartoons based on Terminator or Aliens.

[modoflowe]

or friday the 13th

[laughingfurry]

Nevermind what I said about Ghostbusters.

[laughingfurry]

I never saw some of these before.

It looked like a GI Joe called Rambo.

With Karate Kid, I'm reminded of Jackie Chan Adventures for some reason.

Never knew of Starwars Droids or Chuck Norris having a cartoon.

The other's I've seen and remember. Used to watch Police Academy alot when I was a kid.

I'm surprised that you didn't include Ghost Busters. Or was that early 90's?

[powermad5000]

Chuck Norris doesn't do push ups...he pushes the Earth down!

[rnomuere]

The animated Chuck Norris was so cool...

[haridham]

What year was rambo on? Ofcourse the rest as well?

[theoutsidersluver14]

Karate Kid! :P

[ShinDrakken]

Umm...on the Rambo intro, did the announcer say, "From the canyons of skyscrapers..."? What does that mean, exactly?

[TypicalJoe1900]

I think he said from the canyons or skyscrapers.

[ShinDrakken]

No, I wish thats what was said, it might make sense. He says, "From the canyons of skyscrapers to the canyons of remote mountain peaks." Maybe it was an 80's thing, street level being called a canyon. Oh well...

[UnwashedMusician]

Chuck Noris...Chuck Noris Chuck Noris Chuck Noris...lets see how many times we can say Chuck Noris in the Chuck Noris cartoon.

[UnwashedMusician]

I hate the stupid woman in the Ewok intro..."buy our tapes!!"

[cuppajoesugar]

I think I remember the Police Academy cartoon

[cuppajoesugar]

More Hana-Barbara Bull Shit

[Borin81]

hey i remember watching the Rambo show!

[Venkman007]

Odd how some movies that SO werent for children (Rambo I-III), Police Academy (the first one was rated 'r'), became harmless kids shows. Strange.

[blakeisking]

don't forget robocop. how does a guy getting blown to pieces reciprocate into a children's tv show?

[gusbaker4u]

You have to wonder what David Morrell (author of the original First Blood novel) thought of that bizare Rambo cartoon show.

[hemanshera777]

tmtmtlicon, can you please do a remake of this with the names we've mentioned?

[toddsmitts]

Holy shit! There was a "Rambo" cartoon!? A CHUCK NORRIS cartoon?

Chuck Norris hand drew every frame of animation himself. He was finished by lunch.

That's not the Ewoks theme, BTW. And even for the 80's, you gotta have quite a pair to plug other videos right in the opening!

[DrOctagon20]

The fat boys did the police academy cartoon theme song....awesome

[hemanshera777]

I like this clip of yours, but there's one 80's cartoon based on films that I'm sorry to say you forgot..., "Ghostbusters"

[tmtmtlicon]

You are absolutely correct, I forgot the best one. I loved the movies and The Real Ghostbusters, I can't beleive I made that mistake. Shame on me.

[hemanshera777]

oh. don't blame yourself. it's not your fault. I just hope I wasn't too serious. by the way, there are five TV series of GB's, and four films, including the fan films of Hank Braxtan. do you know which one of them you like? if you don't know, you may want to see them, and try to decide.

[kyletonarella]

what about beetlejuice ?

[hemanshera777]

right. he too was 80's material. I should've known that too. should this vid be done as a remake?

[kyletonarella]

maybe it should

[Mollierebecca]

@hemanshera777 I do not remember the karate kid and I was borm in 1977



[legorocks3]

awsome i loved shows in the 90s and 80s they were great!

[TechnoHajikelist]

HOW THE F**K DID RAMBO BECOME A KID FRIENDLY CARTOON??? What's next? a animated series based on "A Nightmare on Elm Street"?

[hamstergeisha76]

In the 80's it was the violence in cartoons, in the 90's it was rude behavior and fart jokes, and in the 2000's we have cartoon characters talking suggestively and talking about promoting anorexia through diet talk. Oh how much I like anime and Disney so much better than this stuff!

[legorocks3]

holy shit man i forgot about karate kid man now its so cheesy lol karate kid the way they say good time in 80 and 90s love cartoons back then!

[conspiracytheorist77]

Before 2000, movie studios knowingly marketed R-rated films to the under 17 demographic, so it shouldn't be surprising that R-rated films such as Rambo and Robocop were made into cartoons. Although, from my point of view, I saw Rambo when I was 10 and I didn't think it was especially violent, and looking at it now, it almost seems cartoonish; Temple of Doom and Red Dawn were far worse and only got PG-13

[TechnoHajikelist]

actually you kinda got that wrong, Temple of Doom was the CAUSE of the PG-13... That and Gremlins, they were never PG-13 due to Steven Spielberg's name on it.

[conspiracytheorist77]

Ah, yes...I remember that Temple of Doom was the cause of the PG-13, but I keep forgetting the fact that the film itself was never given this rating...Poltergeist, which also derived from Spielberg, was another PG film deserving of an R rating...

[legorocks3]

1:52 what the fucking hell mr miyagi does not beleve in violence

[Comicmonstore]

That is great, I love the 80s cartoons.

[CWCandMRSAFETYRULES]

they made an action cartoon based off of the karate kid?!?!?1 and rambo!?!?!?!?
