Fresh and Exciting

Excellent but underrated film

The film never slows down or bores, plunging from one harrowing sequence to the next.

The Red Hang Gang always takes me back to my childhood in the 70's and early 80's. Certainly in the UK, kids used to be treated to very cheap cinema showings on Saturday mornings, which we kids used to call Saturday Morning Pictures.The Red Hang Gang, was always a part of those mornings. We always saw part of a storyline each week, before a film such as Herbie was shown.The theme tune after all this time is still catchy and unforgettable, the kids are likable and nearly every kid wanted to be involved in such stories as those in the show (of course we didn't think of the circumstances).Overall one of the best kids shows in the 70's and one which will always transport me back to summer school holidays and those Saturday Morning Picture showings.

God, How I loved this show as a kid! It was so cool but wasn't on very long. James Bond III was the most popular and I have seen him in other 70's shows as well. If you Brits love 70's kid shows may I recommend: "Infinity Factory" with it's disco theme song and titles teaching young people ages 10-14 the wonders of math! "Zoom" was hot too and I have a copy of the Best of Zoom from the 1970's! "High Feather" about some kids at a summer cap right before Reagan was elected president, "Vegatable Soup" with it's "soulful" approach to things in life (Loved the kids on skateboards traveling in time)! Wished children television shows were this fun again (and away with Ipods and cell phones!)

Little House on the Prairie is joining the (American) Tvland lineup and I was looking up various castmembers to see if they had done anything else. I am well caught up with what many of them did, but Matthew Laborteaux must be the most evasive. He just couldn't escape Albert Ingalls. His brother, Patrick, seems to have done rather well on the show, JAG. Maybe Matt just hasn't gotten the same break.Anyway, I see The Red Hand Gang, a show made for Saturday mornings that I vaguely recall, as it just didn't live up to its amusing expectations. It was too overly serious for this eleven-year-old and for Saturdays of Scooby-Doo, Bugs Bunny and the Superfriends. It is very surprising to see so many posts from the UK. Clearly the show was taken overseas and went into endless syndication there. It seems this is rather the same thing that was done with other shows, such as Land of the Giants and Time Tunnel. Had it remained in America after its run, it would have only been "It's Albert Ingalls, It's Albert Ingalls, look at how young he is!" so the show seemed to rarely, if ever, appear in any kind of rerun. Plus it only had one season. Of this cast listed, Anthony Zerbe has done the most. James Bond III has several appearances, but is still a standout in only one other childhood appearance, when he was on The Love Boat with Sandy Duncan and Jim Stafford, the country singer.As I said, it was overly serious for me. I remember a few things (the boy in a mask is recognized by the bad guys by his shirt, he takes off the mask and it was now the girl, James Bond seeing 'a woman with no head!') and so on. There would be a handful of childhood detective groups like this left and right back then. But to see so many posts from the UK is what is most interesting!

I remember this series as the best kids adventure series ever. I loved the kidnapping episode and remember the kids rescuing that poor kid from the boat. For all those kids out there who haven't seen this, it's almost a crime, you don't know what you're missing...and maybe it's better that way. Once seen, never forgotten.
