Karate Kommandos

As a follow up to my last post I have started TIVOing Chuck Norris: Karate Kommandos (1986). This is a shameless Chuck Norris and friends cartoon that involves Chuck battling "The Claw" and "Super Ninja".

My favorite scene so far involves Super Ninja hijacking a Space Shuttle. To accomplish this he... wait for it... launches various ninjas and CROCODILES from a catapult on a boat in the harbor at the launch site. The ninjas AND the crocodiles deploy parachutes (wtf?) and one of the crocodiles actually crashes through the window into the room where Chuck and his team are viewing the launch. Chuck wrestles the croc to the ground and throws it into a closet. Mind you these aren't radioactive or mind controlled crocodiles. They are just run of the mill crocodiles that have, apparently, been trained to use parachutes and attack only Chuck and his team of Karate Kommandos. This all happens within the first 45 seconds of the episode. awesome.

weird...clark tivo'd it too. i made it through about 3 minutes of 'dolphin island' before my brain started melting. But the "real life" intros are definitely worth the price of admission.
