Ever imagined what would have happened if an [[Multinational Team|international team]] of [[Spy Fiction|secret agents]] had fought [[Anachronism Stew|Hitler in the 1960s]]? If not, that's no surprise, but [[David Ashby]] and [[Dario Russo]] somehow dreamed up this eccentric premise and went crazy with it.
 
Developed by the creators of ''[[Italian Spiderman]]'', ''Danger 5'' is an oddly compelling action/comedy set in a bizarre, [[Alternate Universe]] [[Retraux|based on 60s and pulp fiction cliches]]. It features the Danger 5 team directly assigned to thwart Hitler's diabolical plans, which involve anything and everything from [[Widget Series|Japanese robots to Nazi-controlled dinosaurs]].
 
''Danger 5'' began with a short series of prequel [[Webisode|Webisodes]]s available [http://www.youtube.com/user/dinosaurworldwide?feature=watch here], followed by a full television series broadcast on its parent network [[SBS]]. The TV show can be [http://www.sbs.com.au/danger5/index.html viewed online in Australia], or is internationally available as a DVD boxset. If you like shows that are uniquely, weirdly, raucously fun, this is worth a look.
