Danger Island Episodes 1-2

[silvio1963able]

You can't believe in me, but I saw it all in Brazil in the beggining of '70 at about 1972. I was just 7 years old and it all was dubbed into portuguese language with great perfection. I am not just talking about Danger Island, I saw all the programation of Banana Splits Show : Movies, cartoons, and the Bananas speaking portuguese, it was amazing!!! How I loved it all. Thanks for the post.

[sinbad7277]

It never occered to me as a kid but now I think Chongo and the black dude were gay lovers.

[rharding64]

uh ohh chongo!! wow, brings back memories - yep captain crunch, cherrios, LIFE cereals AND TANG!! the drink of the astronauts! groovy man!

[NoelArtMedia]

I think they made it up as they went along, and the music alone kicks butt. LOL!

[mom369222]

I remember this show! It didn't last long, but I loved it!

[crispycritterz]

Somebody asked about this. That was a 37mm mortar.

Noticed a numbers of blurbs discussing the sound trak! While I don't know who did the rifts for this segment... Interesting side note; the Late-Great Barry White did music for the studio early in his carrer! (I'm sure many already knew that! But it might make a cool tid-bit for those who didn't!)

[crispycritterz]

@dukes0916 That's one of the interesting things about old shows. You never know who's going to move on to greatness or fall into obscurity.

[3dartistguy]

The LOST of 1968.

[hamtrak]

Uh.....Ohhh..........CHONGO!!!­!!!!!!!

[endracismguy]

[CaptainRon0001]

[oopsyman]

uh-uh chongo!

[RustyKeys72]

A great series! Watch it all to see the entire story arc. You won't be disappointed.

[Stingray19681]

Notice how Leslie changes from a bikini to her regular clothes in about 15 seconds. Later on, some episodes have action music bits taken from "Jonny Quest", another Hannah Barbera show.

[maxkestral9158]

This show is based off of Johnny quest, it's probably a spin off of it

[rick6393]

I liked this series the best of the Splits show

[KlausBe]

hello,

does anyone know if its possible to get the soundtrack from the show ? or does even anyone know whos playing the theme song or the song in the begining?

greatings

[crispycritterz]

@KlausBe Odds are this was done in-house by Hanna-Barbera musicians. They were known for having some of the best studio talent in Hollywood.

[paulloots]

i was a cookie crisp kid miniature cookies as cereal thats good eatin!! Hurray to all of us that were raised on tv if i had to do it over id watch even more.

[huaso97]

Fact: Steven Tyler stole the screams on the song "Dude looks like a lady" from Chongo... (great move by Steven)

[arizonabay1970]

longest credits ever?

[crispycritterz]

Yep. I started Ulysses when the music started and finished before the narrator even spoke.

[jakob187]

@arizonabay1970 You mean GREATEST credits ever?

As a 27 year old who had boss-as-hell parents, I had a healthy portion of Danger Island and Banana Splits mixed in with my Smurfs and Snorkles. = D

[keithko007]

Uh Oh! Chongo! Dang I would get up early

Saturday morning to watch Danger Island and the Banana Splits Show. I have watched every episode!

[djminimoto]

Just dig those groovy 60s camera angles!

[only257]

seen this on boomerang as part of banana splits show!

[slappy09]

...and I thought I would never see this again. I see here that I wasn't the only kid eating Cap'n Crunch watching these shows. Wow..I feel like running outside playing freeze tag, hide in go seek, hide the bacon/belt aka Hot peas and butter, stick ball and drink some Kool Aid after watching this.

[crispycritterz]

I liked the taste of Cam'n Crunch, but it always cut the roof of my mouth. Nope, for me it was (Big Surprise!) Crispy Critters!

[AuDioSLavE802]

@crispycritterz Yup, Cap'n Crunch cut my mouth too but they had great box prizes. What about Apple Jacks? Remember that!  I'd munch on that while watching "Shazam!" or whatever it was called.

[offrampt]

Oh OH - Chongoooh!!

[MrUSSAM]

[bobcat395]

UH OH............CHONGO

[RaelSpice]

does anyone remember that program with the ship wrecked school kids with the teacher , all i can remember was a massive white sailing ship in a lagoon, it was on early 80s

[crispycritterz]

The Voyage of the Mimi? Or Westwind?

[mistofoles]

[RaelSpice]

[mistofoles]

You're welcome :)

[markvs1]

I used to hate this part of the Banana Splits show, but I can fully appreciate it now.

[CelizzleinCharlotte]

@markvs1 That's so funny! I feel the same way and now I'm 47!  My husband and I are always saying "Uh Oh, Chongo and my 11 year old is so confused...

[seaeagles64]

Don't ya just love youtube.... thanks man.

[pup2097]

A lot of darkies on that island, no wonder it was so dangerous

[TheGringoLoco]

That meat-swab is yelling over the side of the boat like as if they're going to hear him underwater.

[testpatternrerun]

don't look now but here come the pirates!!!

[Rogersocal]

I remember a different beginning where Chango does his trademark scream at the end of it - "Yaaaa yaaaa gigiigigi gaaaaaaaaa !"

[luvindogadis411]

Awesome show back then. The zoom-ins were hilarious. Back when times were simpler. Miss those times: Banana Splits, Jonny Quest, Valley of the Dinosaurs, The Herculoids, Space Ghost, Land of the Lost, Speed Racer, Ultraman, Filmation: Tarzan, Young Sentinels, Groovie Goolies, Freedom Force, Star Trek, Sabrina, Fat Albert and the Cosby Kids, etc., Mightor, Frankenstein Jr, Fantastic Four (Hanna-Barbera version), 60's Marvel Super Heroes cartoon, 60's Spider-man cartoon, Kimba, Super Friends.

[thundermaster41]

Can ya dig the groovy tunes man....it's like so mooooooving,,,, I can almost feel the colors, and the acting is sooooo riviting moves my groovy soul.....

[KingFahtah]

Agreed. Very very happening music. It's like wild wiggeed out technicolor coo ca choo. Wooo yeah

[ds99]

Wow. You sure did a good job at replicating the original show.

[crispycritterz]

This series FIRST ran as part of the Saturday Morning show "The Banana Splits Adventure Hour" in 1969.

Since then it has resurfaced as part of the "Banana Splits" show in syndication.

[Penguin9796]

How old is this show? And what is it about?

[crispycritterz]

Most of your questions have already been answered in the other posts. I will add something that is not generally known about the series. It's based on a serial of the same name released in the 1931.

[Cool2BCeltic]

Never knew that. Very interesting. Now that you mention it Danger Island has something of the Saturday morning movie serial about it. Does the 1931 serial still exist?

[crispycritterz]

It's almost sure to be around somewhere.

It was one of those weekly serials that were popular during the 20's-50's.

[Adam253]

hahaha wtf. where did they get a mortar from?-lol

[crispycritterz]

Wha? I though everybody had one!

[Electropod]

Great jams by the Hanna Barbara band NOT heard in the other HB adventure series are the best reason to check this out. Great sound !
