Dangeresque (film series)

From Homestar Runner Wiki

This article is about the Dangeresque movies. For information on the character Dangeresque, see Dangeresque (character).

Dangeresque (originally Danger Man) is a trilogy of homemade movies made by Strong Bad. It originates in the email "stunt double", where Strong Bad was asked if he did all his own stunts. He says he does, and shows his new film: "Dangeresque II: This Time, It's Not Dangeresque 1" as proof.

The Dangeresque films are shot with The Cheat's video camera, then very sloppily edited together. Strong Bad plays Dangeresque, a wisecracking action hero who fights both "the law and the crime" with the help of Renaldo, played by Coach Z. The other main characters play bit parts in the films, and Strong Sad is not-so-subtly edited in as a stunt double for any character that might get hit in the head or take a painful fall. Dangeresque's method of crime fighting is patent nonsense, but the timely delivery of catch phrases like "Looks like I'm gonna have to jump!" always makes the ladies smile.

Music

Since nothing says vintage cop shows like a funky groove, Dangeresque employs a Shaft style anthem in "The Theme from Dangeresque II." The end credits of Dangeresque 1 have a softer, 1980's buddy movie feel with "Today is Alright 4 2Nite."

Fun Facts

• Dangeresque's cool glasses are illustrated in the liner notes of the Strong Bad Sings CD. Strong Bad himself is obviously the illustrator, since he does not fail to remember the hatching (see suntan).
