The Spot News: Ohh Phooey

                                    By: Robert Acosta

The title for the post wasn't just a play on words, it was literally how I felt when I heard about this news. One by one, Hollywood is looking to destroy the childhoods of many. Today, we find out that Hong Kong Phooey fans are the next victims in their attack.

To be voicing the Kung Fu fighting dog, is none other than Eddie Murphy. He's pretty much not doing too much as he personally has just demolished his workload, haven't not appeared in a non-animated movie since 2009. Now, this looks like it's headed to a live action adaptation, which will end up making this movie really bad.

As it stands, here is the plot synopsis: "Penry (Murphy) stumbles into a mystic ceremony and is accidentally granted mystic powers, including the ability to walk, talk, and do kung fu. Under the tutelage of his kung fu master, Penry dons a costume and becomes Hong Kong Phooey, and with the help of his trusting sidekick Spot the cat cleans up a rogues gallery of wacky criminals."
