Just want to say that you have done an fantastic service to the community. I am one of many people who grew up with this show watching countless episodes on dvd and on RUclips as well. Thank you so much for this video Bonus trivia: The actor playing Action Man the title character is Mark Griffin who is particularly famous for his role in Gladiators from 1993 to 1996 he is the gladiator Trojan
@@jollyaustin my only question is why? Seems like a lot of extra work for an what was essentially another DIC Entertainment action adventure cartoon. The price of sets, stunts and special effects alone along with the actual animation probably did the show in after the first season. I mean Batman TAS and Ultra Force didn't open with a bodybuilders in a brightly colored spanex parkouring across rooftops. Hmm, 😏 actually that wouldn't of been so bad after all.
It's Action Man. The greatest hero of them all! Thanos would stand no chance. One akrash grip taught to him by an unknown master and he'd be out like a light.
OMG... what a tbt. I had this on VHS tape back in late 90s and that was the last time I even watched it when I was 5 maybe. Now at 26 feeling watching this is amazing,you don’t know the scenes but as soon as it happens I’m like “oh yea I remember that” 🤟🏻
snap, I'm 25 and I remember my late mum putting this on for my brother, well the reruns, and he loved it. I used to love playing with his Action Man toys instead of my Barbies as well
7:13 -18 Oh I've been looking for this for years, I had a VHS with just one or two episodes on it, and this live-action bit used to make my brother and I crack up in tears, just the way he flies through the air to land neatly on top of that box. And it's still funny now.
Nice one for uploading this! Been trying to find this online for ages but only had a brief memory of it, thought I was going mad and that it never existed! Just remember the jet ski scene and that I thought the bad guys were storm troopers 😂
God bless you for this. Idk why im here nostalgia hit me pretty harrd and i just had to find out more about actionman i guess. I still have some video tapes.
Live Action turning into 2D kinda reminds me of that one show back in the 1980's based on a video game about plumbers fighting turtles that does the Live Action and Cartoon segments, I love that vibe.
I not long watched the complete series of the 1995 Action Man cartoon on DVD (Got it imported from the U.S.) as I’ve recent rediscovered the Action Man franchise which has been forgotten, I remember when the toys being popular in the 90s and 2000s. I enjoyed every single minute of the ‘95 Action Man cartoon and the live action segments with Mark Griffin (Trojan from Gladiators) playing Action Man as well as voicing him in the full animated episodes were awesome to watch too. They were like the closet thing to a film adaptation of Action Man. I hope someday we’ll get a theatrical live action film adaptation of Action Man be made. But providing it done by the right people who care deeply about the source material and have it be a British Production, Not Hollywood.
Good old Universal Studios Hollywood & Florida, who was also the Home of the Nickelodeon Studios. and also Secrets of the Cryptkeeper's Haunted House and WMAC Masters.
@@GenGamesUniverse no your thinking of Universal Studios Hollywood that has the Miami Vice stunt show see Universal Studios Florida has special entertainment in the middle of that theme park
Whaha my grandma bought me one of these dvd's. I only knew the 2000x action man series before. Both if these series were to lit. Imagine people avoid these series for their kids bc of the violence, yet I learned soo much values from these kind of series
I'm so glad people are finding this video and telling stories about when they watched it. I didn't know about this series until a few years ago and loved the over-the-top live-action intros and VR outros. And don't forget the PSAs at the end too! I have a compilation vid of that as well. Have a nice day!
10:56 oh wait a minute its Sri Lankaaaaa!!! Omg as a fellow Srilankan this gave me such goosebumps. damn nostalgia is kicking hard. Was waiting for AM back in the days like crazy. Good old days
I love how they cast Trojan from Gladiator for this. I really wish they'd remake this and have it live action. If they're making Barbie live action, they need to make Action Man as well
So by all rights, I should have grown up with the 2000s version, this coming out a year before I was born. But I didn’t. I had this is on vhs and it’s amazing !
Who owns the action man property and what happened to it after the animated series, the one where he was called Alex man and he's close friend was someone called Brandon cane, after that series ended I've had no idea what happened to it
Hasbro studios does own action man he was gi Joe's greatest alliance alongside the classic gj joe member Sargent savage and Mike powers the atomic man that was them and action man back in the day but I also remember Hasbro studios and fox network in the year 2000 when dr X action man's nemesis returns against the new action man by the name Alex mann the extreme sports action man from the era of the fast and furious there was a comic book story where ian the real action man the gi Joe team the transformers and the fast cars of the 80s cartoon MASK take a mysterious enemy in the Hasbro studios/idw comic book episodes of the REVOLUTION and REVOLUTIONARIES it featured the best 1980s heroes of toys in one great crossover comic book story
Were these filmed on thise stunt show stages somewhere? I recognise the Western town and the boating area but I can't place them. Those stunt shows were the highlight of a few theme park trips when I was younger. So many cowboys punched over railings.
As far as I know, the live action bits were filmed at Universal Studios in California as well as Florida. I'm not familiar with either location so I can't tell which is which. The jet skis are hilarious though.
@Austin Jolly Cool, sadly, I've never been myself. I must have seen the sets on one of those tourism programs. Thanks for the response and thanks for uploading these segments.
Dr x skullmen alert infrared scanners detect an intruder on the island if it's action man I want him captured! Uh-oh action man is in serious trouble. what will he do fight next?
No wonder these new generations are being dumbed down. We grew up watching Connan the Barbarian, Action Man, The power rangers. 90% of these shows were about jumping, kicking, being alive.
Mr. X: so Action Man and 90's cartoon heroes This is no time to joke Action Man and 90's Cartoon Heroes my helicopter is fueling up on the roof of this old building when I lift off I plan to destroy this place so you see you're precisely that what I want you any last requests Prepare the helicopter for departure and arm the explosive Nope I'm on my way to destroy the satellite tracking beacon act Cape Canaveral No one will ever be able to trace me for my actions again Cheer Up Action Man and 90's Cartoon Heroes I'll be dropping the explosive on this place personally

Hey thanks for watching! I love this series. I try to watch at least one episode on Saturday mornings for nostalgia sake.

Me too
Its really nostalgia 😞..I want my childhood back😞
@Kostas tsikabum awesome
Me too. Except minus the Schoo bullying. School was horrible for me as a girl, but uni is so much better minus the stress.
Truly the most compelling action movie ever made
It's Action Man. The greatest hero of them all!
Thanos would stand no chance.
One akrash grip taught to him by an unknown master and he'd be out like a light.
Indeed, the only thing missing though is a rescue.

@@lucyhardy-styles-shield2728 you remember the weird CGI continuation
@@chaoticmoron-zl6nv yep, well, ish. I was a small kid when I watched it with my brother
This hero deserve to be back on the big screen I don't know why he are forgotten he deserve a live action movies in new days
if they're making Barbie live action, they need to do Action Man. I don't think Mark Griffith would return though, he is a lot older now
@@lucyhardy-styles-shield2728 yeah they can use some good and famous actor for this role
@@johnalexander6858 not Tom Cruise though, the actor has to be British since the franchise is British

Give me back childhood!! 😢

How has this NOT gone viral yet?!?!?
Maybe I should promote it on twitter lol
Thanks for the upload. I always thought they had a live-action version of Natalie as well, doing these scenes with Action Man.
God bless you for this. Idk why im here nostalgia hit me pretty harrd and i just had to find out more about actionman i guess. I still have some video tapes.
I remember watching this as a child... Wonderful memories😢😢😢
THANK YOU! MY CHILDHOOD MEMORY THANKS YOU! The jet ski scene used to appear on a VHS of ninja turtles next mutation for some reason and I loved it
This series was amazing its so underrated I miss that catch phrase
"ALLRIGHT TEAM ITS TIME TO GET EXTREME"
so much nostalgia wow. Thank you
My head is just flooded with good memories

Super mario bros
I did not know till today, that the live action Action Man was played by Trojan form the 1990s UK Gladiators :D
Just in case anyone was wondering this show and all of the episodes are on Amazon prime.
Favourite cartoon on star channel ! Since 1995-2005
When i was like 9 my cousin gave me the dvds for this and it was just the hight of my childhood
Man I'm forgot About This show
MISS MY CHILDHOOD DAYS
Jesus i remember this. Loved this growing up.
Literally the best part of the show.
Looks cool I probably didn't get a chance to see it is my day there was GI Joe Rambo and some others

One can wish someone in Hollywood or film production held this amount of feel for the series I loved it😎
Filmed at Universal Studios Hollywood & Florida
Good old Universal Studios Hollywood & Florida, who was also the Home of the Nickelodeon Studios. and also Secrets of the Cryptkeeper's Haunted House and WMAC Masters.
@@joseguevara8321 Universal Studios Florida
Yep because the first clip was actually the Miami Vice Stunt Show in Florida.
@@GenGamesUniverse no your thinking of Universal Studios Hollywood that has the Miami Vice stunt show see Universal Studios Florida has special entertainment in the middle of that theme park
me, my brother and my cousin loved playing with the toys they made of action man

10:56 oh wait a minute its Sri Lankaaaaa!!! Omg as a fellow Srilankan this gave me such goosebumps. damn nostalgia is kicking hard. Was waiting for AM back in the days like crazy. Good old days
55:09 surely the next bond ?
I love how they cast Trojan from Gladiator for this. I really wish they'd remake this and have it live action. If they're making Barbie live action, they need to make Action Man as well
Underrated action man is, he isn’t mentioned enough I used to have the action man electric plazzy bike felt like the coolest kid on the block.
I have not seen some of this stuff since before I learned to walk.
Love how the skull guys use super soakers as guns
So by all rights, I should have grown up with the 2000s version, this coming out a year before I was born. But I didn’t. I had this is on vhs and it’s amazing !
Childhood favourite
25th Anniversary of Action Man '95 (1995-2020)
Yoo wth I completely forgot I used to watch this!!!!!!!!!!
Crazy I knew a kid who had the Action Man shirt and wouldn't tell me how he got it.

Action Man: come in action 2 and 90s cartoon friends of me 🇺🇸😎😎😎😍😍
I love this intro.. it's like combine mix both OO7 and Jason Bourne. This should be out on DVD and aired on Netflix and Roku.

Childhood memories
Huh I had never seen this even tho I we as fairly into the cgi series. Didn't know they kept him a Brit in the 2D series
Better than that of “GI Joe Extreme” you can tell that it’s stunts done by pros.
Watching the actor as a grown up im realising how clumsy he is !!
There's always cable T.V. Action Man!!
Pretty cool.
Aside from ACTION MAN 2000 we need a another ACTION MAN Jason Statham or Robin thicke
Surprisingly high-effort and high-budget for what it is.
I can’t believe I thought this was the shit back in the day lol
forgot all about this and Max Steel, lol
Dr x skullmen alert infrared scanners detect an intruder on the island if it's action man I want him captured!
Uh-oh action man is in serious trouble. what will he do fight next?
Oh man.....90s kids were so spoilt by the shows on...nothing like the crap thats on now
29:55 - First one I ever saw LOOOL
1990年代のアメリカン カートゥーンの活躍 🇺🇸😍❤️❤️❤️
Just imagine Action man vs Batman
Mu childhood 😢😢
No wonder these new generations are being dumbed down. We grew up watching Connan the Barbarian, Action Man, The power rangers. 90% of these shows were about jumping, kicking, being alive.
It’s like the Mario cartoon live action opening and a cartoon
Good times😂
(Giggles) sounds like Dolby Atmos 7.1 did
With a Barbie movie releasing this summer, I mean ... 🤷♂️
Action Man deserves a Live Action Movie. But the 90s animated series is probably the closest thing.

This is no time to joke Action Man and 90's Cartoon Heroes my helicopter is fueling up on the roof of this old building when I lift off I plan to destroy this place so you see you're precisely that what I want you any last requests
Prepare the helicopter for departure and arm the explosive
Nope I'm on my way to destroy the satellite tracking beacon act Cape Canaveral
