    The gun play was stellar. The scene where “Race” Bannon fired his machine gun at a bulldozer blade to ricochet off around the corner of a building to get the bad guy down was genius. Only the bad guy’s arm falls into view from behind the building.

    There's no question which of these was the best one. By far, the 1996 version takes the same essential elements of the original theme, but pumps it up with a new arrangement and much better instrumentation. You can hear it's still basically the same theme tune, just with a hell of an upgrade.

    When it comes to which version is best, I think, like all music, it depends on what you grew up on. Also, before I watched this, I never even knew there were versions other than the original. And in my mind, there still isn't. ;) It's superior to the others, musically, and in cinematic cues, the way in which the music 'hits' the visuals. The 80s version doesn't do this well with the images like the original does. It's almost as if in the 80s version, they just composed the updated music and the images were added in with no relation to each other. While the original is finely tuned to each shot used in the opening segment. Don't get me wrong, they're both good. But I prefer the original. And if you told me when I was a kid, that some several decades later I'd be discussing the musical cues of the Johnny Quest theme I would've thought you were completely nuts. ;)

    Although everyone has a subjective opinion on musical preference, when a song is remixed from an already existing piece, those composers have something to live up to. They all sound good, but the first one kept a constant beat, keeping up with all the drama in the intro. Personally? I like the original, but the others pull their weight enough.

What makes you think they wouldn't mess up Jonny Quest? 2) Warner Bros. owns the rights to Jonny Quest, so it would likely be produced by them. They've never made a good Hanna-Barbera theatrical feature, so I wouldn't have much faith in them to get this one right. 3) Animated shows should stay animated. I'm tired of this live-action elitism crap.

    Robert Haworth IMO, the Real Adventures series was an absolutely terrible idea. It's like Peanuts- if you're going to keep .among stories for them keep them at the same age. And don't add a ton of unnecessary characters and plots.
