This along with the other 3 videos were released in about 1995. Based on the popular 1964 t.v. cartoon show Jonny Quest. Which still remains one of my favourite cartoons of all time.

Among the 2 episodes featured on this video there is the classic CALCUTTA ADVENTURE and PIRATES FROM BELOW. Both are great episodes and will bring back good memories for sure. Plus there are 2 bonus toons, a world premier toon as well as a classic episode of Space Ghost featuring Spider Woman and the Lizard Slavers! It doesn't get any better than that does it?

This video along with the other 3 are classic gems and would fit nicely in any collection. Highly reccommended!!!

I do not usually review VHS releases that are over a decade old, but this really was a nice set. There were only four tapes in the set but they really captured the best of the series. In fact, if you can't afford the full 26 episode DVD release (and you still have a VHS player) these tapes are still an excellent review or introduction to the classic 1964 series. They were digitally remastered so they are bright and sharp to watch with clear, full sound. It's funny, but in some ways they seem more modern, and optimistic, than anything being produced these days. They really predicted an incredible amount of present day technology.

1) Race Bannon in An Army of One includes: Mystery of the Lizard Men, and Double Danger, plus a Space Ghost cartoon (Heat Thing.)

2) Dr. Zin in Master of Evil includes: Riddle of the Gold, and The Robot Spy, plus a Space Ghost cartoon (Creature King.)

3) Hadji in Mysteries of the East includes: Calcutta Adventure, and Pirates from Below, plus a Space Ghost Cartoon (Revenge of the Spider Woman.)

4) Bandit in Adventures Best Friend includes Attack of the Tree People, and Terror Island, plus a Space Ghost Cartoon (Zorak.)

i have all 4 jonny quests but there ought to have been two more in the collection. 'dr quest' and 'jonny'
also they make no mention after the first eppisode that hadji is adopted dr. quest is his dad and jonny
is his brother. which implies racesim it sad that hatred no matter how understated is every where even in 'toons.
