'''''Dangeresque''''' is a series of amateur {{w|Action film|action movies}} made by [[Strong Bad]], who also stars as [[Dangeresque (character)|the title character]]: "a private eye, a crooked cop, a secret agent, and a celebrity pharmacist" who fights both "the law" and "the crime". He is assisted by [[Renaldo]], played by [[Coach Z]], and encounters several other characters played by the various denizens of [[Free Country, USA]].
 
-
The homemade movies, shot with [[The Cheat]]'s video [[camera]], parody cliches of 70s and 80s action filmmaking and are generally [[poor acting|cheaply made and poorly acted]]. Visual effects and titles are applied in-camera rather than through editing, with cardboard sets or [[The Stunt Double|stunt doubles]] very apparent. 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 [[Strong Bad's Ladies|ladies]] smile.

'''''Dangeresque''''' is a pseudo-trilogy of amateur 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'' series has not been released in production order (notably, ''Dangeresque II'' was [[stunt double|the first one shown]]); oftentimes only a portion of the full "movie" is shown in a toon. Series "canon" is very loose, befitting the informal production of entries.
+
-
*'''''Dangeresque 0: The Prequel Begins''''' ([[Dangeresque 3: The Criminal Projective Responses (Secret Lab)#Renaldo|mentioned in]] ''The Criminal Projective'')
+
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 small 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, despite Strong Bad's claims that he does all the stunts himself.  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 [[Strong Bad's Ladies|ladies]] smile.

Since nothing says vintage cop shows like a funky groove, Dangeresque employs a [[Wikipedia:Theme from Shaft|Shaft]]-style anthem in "[[The Theme from Dangeresque II]]". The end credits of ''Dangeresque 1'' and ''Dangeresque 3'' have a softer, 1980s buddy movie feel with "[[Today is Alright 4 2Nite]]". The end credits sequence of [[Dangeresque: The Roomisode Triungulate]] uses a similar-sounding song, "You're Gonna Have 2 Jump". The underlying score of the films themselves are short, sparse, rather campy interludes between scenes sung by Strong Bad.

*Dangeresque's cool glasses are illustrated in the liner notes of the [[Strong Bad Sings and Other Type Hits|Strong Bad Sings CD]].  Strong Bad himself is obviously the illustrator, since he does not fail to remember the hatching (see [[suntan]]).

*Elements of Dangeresque may be inspired by the audio show ''{{w|Sounds Dangerous!}}'' from [[Disney|Walt Disney World]]. The show featured undercover cop Charlie Foster ({{w|Drew Carey}}) taking down smuggler Lefty Moreno, who is disguised as circus performer The Great Rinaldi.

*Dangeresque is probably based on the attraction [http://disneyworld.disney.go.com/wdw/parks/attractionDetail?id=SoundsDangerousStarringDrewCareyAttractionPage&bhcp=1 Sounds Dangerous starring Drew Carey] at Walt Disney World's Disney-MGM Studios. In Sounds Dangerous, [[Wikipedia: Drew Carey|Drew Carey]] portrays an undercover cop, and faces a villain named Lefty Moreno, who is disguised as a circus performer, The Great Rinaldi.

* In the email [[the movies]], it is said that Dangeresque 3 will come out "We'll See...". It also shows four crossed out dates, ranging from 2004 to 2006 (all having passed by the time of the email's release). Later in the same email, Strong Sad (who was listing every movie that onscreen actors had starred in), reacts to Strong Bad by stating "He was in Dangeresque 1 and 2!"
