All
the while they dodge the Enforcers who are led by
the militant Feral, and save the city day in and day
out always on the brink of pure catastrophe under
the clutches of various threats that include robotic
Kats, alien beings, and Dark Kat. Constantly eluding
the authorities which include the hapless mayor Manx
and deputy Calico Briggs (the independent heroine of
the series who is always in need of rescue but is
hardly helpless), the Swat Kats come in for the save
when the city needs them the most. "Swat Kats" is
filled with an array of great villains, some of whom
are branched off from the DC Comics mythos,
particularly the metallikats, two mobsters with
robotic shells prone to giving the Swat Kats a hard
time.
There's also your typical B movie monster episodes
with aliens and slugs, and blob monsters, all the
while our two heroes are very entertaining to watch
in and out of costume. And you can't underestimate
the Pastmaster, a villain who is deadly and
constantly giving the Swat Kats difficult times,
threatening to bring the world to its knees. Obvious
clones of Batman, the Swat Kats have an entertaining
and wicked setting around them where they can live
among junk, and use that scrap from the military to
benefit their quest to fight against evil, donning
their costumes and bad ass bandannas. This series
set comes with the final three episodes never aired,
and beyond that there is nothing here for anyone
looking for special features. This is "Manufature on
Demand" so there's no restoration, and no
widescreen, but they are transferred from high
quality masters without edits or truncation.
Nostalgia buffs will probably find amusement in
their favorite nineties show being on DVD finally,
and for those waiting for a special edition, you'll
have to wait a very long time. For what it promises,
it's an excellent set for fans of the series, and
for those with kids looking for nonviolent, action
packed, entertainment, this is your best bet. You
can't not love the Swat Kats. |
