It's iconic if you're into early 90s action shows and fighter jets. I seen a few people on youtube build lego versions of the jet with functioning parts (motorcycle that detaches, thrust vectoring engines, sweeping back wings and ejection pods in cockpit), and they're quite impressive.
One of the best aspects of the show was not only the high flying action of the main duo, but that the main female characters were not just damsel in distress plot victims. Callie essentially ran the city, could usually handle herself in bad situations, and even saved the Kats a time or two. Felina was one of the best Enforcers, devoted to her duty and more level headed than her uncle. Even Ann Gora, the reporter, didn't shy away from danger even if going for the big story often got her into trouble, she actively pursued them rather than being a big celeb for kidnap bait.
Agreed. The female cats on the show are badass. Felina was definitely an excellent character. Much better than the greenhorn slacker-ass Lieutenant Steele.
The fact that they were considered low level soldiers but we're able to build a jet out of scraps from a junk yard screams volumes of underestimation. I'm pretty sure many veterans from the Air Force will tell you that if anyone could do what the SWAT CATS did in real life then they would be respected and admired.
For the record, the original creators are working on bringing this show *back* and *upgrading* just about everything. The Turbokat is getting a 5th-gen glow up, going from F-14 to a hybrid of the F-14 and the F-22 Raptor. The characterization will be more involved. And so on and so forth. It's called Swat Kats: Revolutions, IIRC? But basically, considering how well Top Gun has done in theaters, who wouldn't want "Top Gun + heavy metal + cats + Batman", all thrown into a blender? Really hyped about this show, and yeah, Swat Kats as a kid was AMAZING.
IT DESERVES AN R-RATED NETFLIX REVIVAL SERIES WITH OFFBEAT, DARKER, GRITTIER & EDGIER LOOK BECAUSE THIS CULT CLASSIC CARTOON WAS BEING TOO VIOLENT! ✈😼👊💥📺😉👌
I don't know how Hollywood got away with making teenage mutant ninja turtles movies and not Swat Kats it got to a point where I been asking animation artists on TH-cam can they make a series 🤦🏾♂️😔
I love (L.O.V.E) this show...I used to watch it religiously when it was on Cartoon Network. This is a great piece of nostalgia for me as I still love this show today. They surely don't make cartoons anymore.
@@shareofmoney Well to be fair I do believe it was on Cartoon Network first, before Boomerang was created, but then went on Boomerang later, if I remember right.
I love The Swat Kats! it's one of my all time favortie 90's cartoons to binge watch!!! this cartoon had it all interesting characters, comedy and some badass villains!
I still love this cartoon and heard there will be a revival since last year, hopefully with the same voice actors and artists who made the same radical awesome cartoon and hope to see it soon :)
Unsure if it was ever mentioned, but here's a fun little tidbit: The Turbocat jet bears a striking resemblance to a real life fighter jet, the F-14 Tomcat. But with a name like that, I think we all know it is more than a coincidence. ;)
They need to bring this show back and reboot it! (Also another reason Dr. Viper is one of the most deadliest villains because he and he monsters had killed more people than any other villain on the show).
I use to be excited for new episodes as a kid never understood why it didn't get more seasons. Maybe bad time slot I remember watching the 2nd plays when cartoon network did the main line up new episodes twice a day, not sure what they do anymore
I'm 36 and every now and then I like to come to YT to watch the intros for that show. If I would have known the show had Navy/Air Force influence back in the day, I would have tried to become a pilot lmao
@@madamefluffy4788 aw man I was hoping they continue the series, well as long as this reboot is good as the original but not a bad reboot like Teen Titans Go, and Ben 10 2016
Back then I was flabbergasted how a jet can take down monsters when its usually robots that do that! I still wish the Turbokat had any kind of robot for ala Macross! But this series needs to freaking comeback!
There was a period in high school where I would play Ace Combat 4 and watch Swat Kats. Simpler times. :( Also, it's Queen Callista; not Princess Callista. Is Callie a descendent? Who knows.
the reason why it was cancled "In a 2009 interview with Lance Falk (Writer / Design Coordinator) he said that the way he heard about the reason behind the cancellation of "SWAT Kats" was that Ted Turner himself simply thought the show was too violent for kids." BULLSHIT. i bet a companey got butthurt that it was doing so well
I find it hard to dislike Feral, despite his ego and his bashing the swat kats he's a brave commander who leads from the front, stands shoulder to shoulder with the grunts and has a strict code of honour, my favourite moment from him was when the Metalakats offered him the true identities of the swat kats (something he really wanted to know) in exchange for letting them go he killed them both without hesitation saying "I don't make deals with scum"
Almost everyone in the cast. Almost everyone has their ups and downs. I think character number 5 Callie Briggs. Is my favorite character in the SWAT Kats series. One thing I have in my personality. Nerves of steel.
13:26 She was a queen, not a princess. Also, no. Dr. Viper's last appearance wasn't in the season 2 premiere but in the season 2 episode "The Origin of Dr. Viper."
I would love to see a video of someone who knows and understands engineering,namely aeronautical engineering, doing an analysis of the Turbo Kat and how viable it's design is as well as other vehicles like cars and aircrafts from other popular science fiction shows like Batman personally I think it would be fascinating to see if the Turbo Kat is a practical design or not .
This show is an abosolute jewel and a classic, no american show had that animation, absolute marvel! I really hope it comes back being as it was originally. But no clear info from Toonz yet..
If and when this series gets a reboot, I would really like to get a backstory with Dark Kat and Commander Feral. Besides the one-off characters like Turmoil, Morbulous, and Chop Shop, every other Villian in the Swat Kats series had some measure of an origin/back story except Dark Kat. As for Feral, how did he end up as the Comander of the Enforecers and does he have any skeletons in his closet from his days as an officer/lieutenant?
The episode that did the show in was the one with the Alien antagonist, it was practically PG-13. Thats what moms of America need to show Ted Turner to Ax it.
Why use Evil Callie (a villain) as an introduction clip to describe Deputy Mayor Calico Briggs proper? Also, it's Queen Callista, not Princess. Razor didn't hurt anyone in Razor's Edge - Dark Kat set up a warehouse to blow up and arranged it so it looked like Razor caused the accident (and hurt innocent civilians in the process - who were just actors pretending to be injured).Any anxiety Razor had over the incident went right out the window when he learned he was duped (i.e. - he doesn't suffered from permanent anxiety because of that incident). You forgot to mention that Felina's recklessness usually ends up with the SWAT Kats needing to save her or the fact there is clear nepotism in the Enforcer ranks (not hyperbole - we never see Commander Feral discipline his niece for her repeated insubordination - despite holding others to task for their screw ups (Jake and Chance/Lt.Commander Steele, etc) He even mentions how he should kick her off the force - but doesn't because his brother/Felina's dad would never speak to him again if he did). Speaking of Commander Feral - he's not solely responsible for the destruction of the Enforcer Building - Jake and Chance hold as much responsibility for it as Feral does (they were told to back off and let Feral handle Dark Kat - the guys were flippant and didn't listen, causing Feral's Ego to get the better of him and clip their jet - forcing the guys to eject from the jet, causing it to crash into Enforcer HQ). If Jake and Chance did as they were told, all of that could have been avoided - but then, we also wouldn't have the SWAT Kats, so... Also, Mutation City is not the last time we see Viper - (unless you consider that episode to be the last of his appearances if attempting to put the episodes in chronological order; Viper's origins would be the last episode you see him in in Season 2).

One of my all-time favorite cartoons. I was OBSESSED with the Turbo-Cat jet. I think I drew it once, when I was like 13 or so.
FACTS. That jet was a dream vehicle. But those cycles too. Id drive one today if i had the funds to get one built
It's iconic if you're into early 90s action shows and fighter jets. I seen a few people on youtube build lego versions of the jet with functioning parts (motorcycle that detaches, thrust vectoring engines, sweeping back wings and ejection pods in cockpit), and they're quite impressive.

The toys from this show were EPIC AF too.
Literally one of my favorite shows growin up
Wish I got a hold of those back then.

Oh man that Swat Kat theme song still goes hard. 🔥👊🏽
I love swat Kats my favorite classic action cartoon of all time it needs a comeback.
I watched Swat Cats back in the 90s
Oh finally. I was thinking about this cartoon a couple weeks ago but just couldn’t remember the name.
one of the 90s’ finest
My best childhood memories from these cartoons.
This show deserves a comeback
I love The Swat Kats! it's one of my all time favortie 90's cartoons to binge watch!!! this cartoon had it all interesting characters, comedy and some badass villains!
Swat Kats really was a great old cartoon with lovable and memorable characters, heroes and villains alike.
I LOVE THIS SHOW!!!! It’s been a part of my childhood and wished it had another season to finish off the series.
I forgot to mention that in the Pokémon X/Y games, the Team Flare themes sound like they belonged in this show’s soundtrack.
The intro music of this show got me into metal as a kid!
There's a few bad ass covers of the 2 intro songs on youtube.
Mission Hill Origins This Adult Animated Hidden gem made It's mark on Adult Swim during the early 2000's bonafide cult classic
Dang we need to see some crossovers from shows in that era
Loved this as a kid
Yes yes and yes childhood memories god I miss the 90s.
I still love this cartoon and heard there will be a revival since last year, hopefully with the same voice actors and artists who made the same radical awesome cartoon and hope to see it soon :)
I am thoroughly enjoyed this series back when I was in my twenties and I still enjoy it today and I'm now 53 years old.
I was 11 when it debuted Sunday mornings on tbs and I’m 41
best cartoon i watched on my childhood

Wow! So excited to watch this later. Going to save it as much one of my favorites. You guys are awesome and I love SWAT cats
Loved this show

(Also another reason Dr. Viper is one of the most deadliest villains because he and he monsters had killed more people than any other villain on the show).
Turned 40. Was a kid when these used to air. Time flies !
Freaking loved this show, I saw a handful of episodes in later years, and found that there are a lot of deaths in it.
I use to be excited for new episodes as a kid never understood why it didn't get more seasons. Maybe bad time slot I remember watching the 2nd plays when cartoon network did the main line up new episodes twice a day, not sure what they do anymore
My favorite SWAT Kats villain was Turmoil.
I'm 36 and every now and then I like to come to YT to watch the intros for that show. If I would have known the show had Navy/Air Force influence back in the day, I would have tried to become a pilot lmao
One of my favorite carttons ever! Everythig is sensational on this one including one of the best gallery of creative villains.
One of my favourite anthromorphic cartoon series.
This and Bucky O' Hare was probably the closest we got to a Star Fox cartoon, besides the web series Fox in Space is doing.
Someone please reboot this masterpiece!
The creators have been trying to do that for years now, And haven't gotten any closer to making it happen.
@@TheCommenterDragon Unfortunately.
The Swat Kats is one of my favorite shows, when I was a kid.
That's one of my favorite cartoons.
T-Bone is one of my favorite characters of all time 💪😼
I wish this show renewed with new episodes
A new series is currently in the works (not a continuation - a reboot/reimagining in the spirit of the OG series)
@@madamefluffy4788 aw man I was hoping they continue the series, well as long as this reboot is good as the original but not a bad reboot like Teen Titans Go, and Ben 10 2016

This needs a good revival series in the future......I hope
It's on the way, actually!
@@Ilyak1986 I wasn't to far off
Swat kats had one of the best opening songs I ever heard in my childhood.
One of the all-time greats, I wish they would bring it back.
This use to show early morning , i use to get up early to watch it , it was soo cool, loved the bike
I love this series, deserves a blu ray release.
Nostalgia bomb!~
*SALUTE ALL 90'S FANS WHO WAS RAISED OFF CARTOONS LIKE SWAT KATS & THUNDER ⚡ CATS 🙌‼️*
O7
bro i found out there was a second season, and thunder cats. oh man that show was mint.
I’m 41 and grew up with Thundercats and swat Kats and was 11 when it debuted on tbs
Metal katts are my favorite villain before I watch this video but I monly watch the metal katts episodes
I love this berserk arc
This one was always the one that aired late so when I was watching this, that day was a good day.
SWAT Kats is one of those shows that makes me go "damn, i wish i could make something as awesome as that"
SWAT 🐈 😻 🐈⬛️ 🐱 The Radical Squadron! Also, kudos 👏 💐 🥳 🎊 👌 🙌 to Robert Alvarez for producing and directing this 👏 ❤️ amazing 👏 series ❤️ 😀 💖 👏 ♥️ 😊
I really love hearing about The Swat Kats.
I'm waiting for the video on if SWAT KATS can reproduce.
Who would be great opponents for the Swat Kats on Death Battle?
Buloo from Talespin or Bucky O' Hare.
Biker mice from Mars
there was once plans for Dark kat to have a secret identity as a corrupt judge helping criminals get off
Razor also has a habit of getting kidnapped or being the target of kidnapping by they're enemies. Though he will always be my favorite character
There was a period in high school where I would play Ace Combat 4 and watch Swat Kats. Simpler times. :(
Also, it's Queen Callista; not Princess Callista. Is Callie a descendent? Who knows.

Kids of today never knew how cool american cartoons were back then.
They actually riveled anime on equal footing.

What surprises me is not a single film maker has thought of making a live action adaptation. It would be epic as fuck.
Cof cof Cats 2019 🤢🤮
Is that just me? Swat Kats have smart villains by the standard of kids' shows.
Almost everyone in the cast. Almost everyone has their ups and downs. I think character number 5 Callie Briggs. Is my favorite character in the SWAT Kats series. One thing I have in my personality. Nerves of steel.
No wait? The device that Callie has to call the SWAT Kats. Also appears in the Batman Arkharm video games series? I never realized.
One of my favourare cartoons.
Netflix needs to pickup and run with this series. Like they did with Voltron
13:26 She was a queen, not a princess. Also, no. Dr. Viper's last appearance wasn't in the season 2 premiere but in the season 2 episode "The Origin of Dr. Viper."
It's time for them to give this a reboot
Hello childhood
The series ended prematurely.
Tobac there no other cartoon that comes close to this masterpiece. All cartoons today suck and good ones get canceled for trash
Really enjoyed watching this video. Brought up some Nostalgic moments for me as a kid in Middle School. Keep up the good work.
If only the SWAT Kats toyline was made by Playmates Toys.
The little talkie walkie reminds me rather of the OG TMNT,like April also had a communicator
I thought this show was getting a reboot or revival from Netflix or HBO max
I would love to see a video of someone who knows and understands engineering,namely aeronautical engineering, doing an analysis of the Turbo Kat and how viable it's design is as well as other vehicles like cars and aircrafts from other popular science fiction shows like Batman personally I think it would be fascinating to see if the Turbo Kat is a practical design or not .
On second thought, how do you kill a ghost? Great. How do we kill a ghost? I hope it's not just too late for Mayor Manx. He's history.
This show is an abosolute jewel and a classic, no american show had that animation, absolute marvel! I really hope it comes back being as it was originally. But no clear info from Toonz yet..
I was always mad at how human Lina looked.
I believe the Commander knew their identity.
These two dudes are awesome
A time when cartoon network made good shows. I miss old CN now.
I thought the tracking helmet for the cement gun was based on the Apache Gunship gunners track where you look helmet.
My neighbors' two pitbulls are named after the Swat Cats

Some of us watched for Callie
Yes.
Everyone’s furry for her
I noticed something, this animated series. Doesn't feature any dogs at all.
Gee, I wonder why...?
why didnt this continue. it seemed so well put together just to be takken out, BEING SWAT CAT BACK

Or even do a Multiverse story where they meet the likes of the TMNT, Hong Kong Phooey or those from Marvel/DC.
