Mr-Fusion Remember that short-lived MTV puppet show, "Super Adventure Team"? "Danger 5" reminds me of that, at least in spirit; and that's a positive comparison. The bad dubbing, cheap model props and thrown- together sets really sell the '60s spy show parody. Most of this is completely absurd, and the characters just take it in stride; I think that's why a lot of the humor works. Also, Hitler. And the Colonel is an eagle-headed ball-buster; he was actually mu favorite part and I was disappointed to see his involvement come to an end. Makes you wonder what other sorts of weirdness comes out of Australia. 7/10
Logan Fowler WARNING: If you do not enjoy corny and hilarious effects, story, and all out production, this is NOT for you.Danger 5 is split upon 2 series. Series 1 is based upon World War 2, using a 60's style of filming it. A team named Danger 5 is set out to kill Adolf Hitler, and in doing so brings them to many bizarre places. Each character is based from a different country, which makes them unique in ways.Series 2 is set in an 80's theme. The now-split up Danger 5 lives their lives until Hitler resurfaces and has a new master plan to conquer the Post World War 2 era.This show is amazing and I highly recommend it if you enjoy cheesy hilarious comedy action.
jaywensley2004 Reminiscent of "A Fistful of Yen" (from Kentucky Fried Movie) and looking like "Mighty Morphing Power Rangers," "Danger 5" succeeds at one of TV and movie making's toughest goals; making a deliberately bad production that doesn't overshoot the mark."These two are part of a team the Allies put together to irritate me."-Adolf Hitler in "Danger 5." Japanese Super Soldiers with swastikas on their helmets.Armed dinosaurs.A gold plated Panzer tank.All this and more, played straight and at a pace that would challenge the focus of a 30 Rock fan. Doesn't seem funny out of context? That's the genius of "Danger 5." The context is hallucinogenic and yet the stories have a peculiar coherence that allow Eagle-headed commanding officers to seem both reasonable and laugh out loud funny.Like I said, don't try to make sense of it. But watch a few episodes and there's a good chance you'll create your own way of "getting it." And if it doesn't make you laugh, for goodness sakes don't watch, because there's no "deeper meaning" in "Danger 5."
metroskyradio Australia's Danger 5 is strangely funny. The special effects are right out of The Thunder Birds and cheesy, and are meant to be. The jokes are corny, funny, and rely on a lot of sight gags. Needless to say Hitlers talking dog is a bad puppet character that is really hilarious and the episode with Nazi Dinosaurs (who were armed) had me laughing so hard I couldn't get my breath. Even things in the background are funny. The "Danger 5" are spies of International makeup. A lot of language is actual French & German so the show is subtitled and even this is funny. Danger 5 is Thunder Birds meets Allo, Allo, with a large dose of Team America World Police, bad scripting thrown in for good measure. I watched this Australian TV import with my wife, who has no sense of humor, and even she thought the show was entertaining. I'll leave it at that !
