Doug Wildey created this beloved 1964 animated Adventure Series, the first produced by Hanna-Barbera and the first Animated Series made for television to use realistically drawn human characters in Science Fiction or adventure settings.The young hero Jonny Quest (voiced by future Animal House star Tim Matheson) travels the world with his Science Hero father, Dr. Benton Quest; Action Hero Roger "Race" Bannon, a friend and bodyguard of Dr. Quest; Hadji, Jonny's adopted brother from India; and Team Pet Bandit, the family dog. (The first episode establishes that Jonny's mother, Rachel, died before the series began.) Along the way, they save humanity from a variety of high-tech and supernatural menaces, including Dr. Quest's recurring Arch-Enemy, Mad Scientist Dr. Zin.The series originally aired in prime time on ABC, which incidentally made it the first primetime animated drama in the world. Due to the expense of its (relatively) detailed designs and animation, as well as the network deciding to pit it against The Munsters so that it could salvage network darling/fellow Hanna-Barbera series The Flintstones, it was canceled after only one season. However, it became enduringly popular enough that all three networks reran it on Saturday mornings for well over a decade. It has also spawned several Sequel Series and Reboots.A second Jonny Quest series was syndicated in 1986-87 as part of the second season of The Funtastic World of Hanna-Barbera, The New Adventures of Jonny Quest, with two new characters: Jessie Bradshaw, whose father was a colleague of Dr. Quest, and Hardrock, a man made of living stone. (It was accompanied by a Comic-Book Adaptation from Comico which was based on the original series and did not feature the new characters.) This series culminated in two made-for-TV movies - Jonny's Golden Quest and Jonny Quest vs. the Cyber Insects - which introduced Race Bannon's daughter, Jessie, (not the same character as Jessie Bradshaw), who would become a recurring character in subsequent incarnations.Cartoon Network made some changes to the format when it debuted Jonny Quest: The Real Adventures (also known as The Real Adventures of Jonny Quest) in 1996. New characters included the recurring villains Jeremiah Surd and Ezekiel Rage, and the twin daughters of Dr. Zin. Also, the characters had access to Questworld, a virtual reality realm represented in most episodes by 3-D computer animation. According to this Wikipedia article, development began in 1992, but the series went through three production teams over the next four years.Warner Bros. announced a Live-Action Adaptation of Jonny Quest was announced in August 2007, with recent news placing Zac Efron as Jonny and The Rock as Race Bannon. However, that project lingered in Development Hell for years and was eventually canceled. In 2015 Warner announced they would be trying again with Robert Rodriguez directing and co-writing with Pirates of the Caribbean screenwriter Terry Rossio. In the meantime, 2015 saw the classic characters return in a DTV movie crossover with Tom and Jerry: Spy Quest. Jonny and his friends also became regulars in DC Comics's Future Quest, which put the stars of almost all of H-B's action cartoons from The '60s in the same Shared Universe. Also in 2015, the Quest team crossed over with the Scooby gang in the Scooby-Doo! Team-Up issue "Quest for Mystery!"A major influence on The Venture Bros., to the point where a Writing Around Trademarks version of an adult Jonny is included in the series. See also "Toby Danger," an episode of Freakazoid! that was an elaborate Affectionate Parody.Not to be confused with Johnny Test (though that show's title is certainly intended a play on this one). | |

Arbitrary Skepticism | |
Jonny Quest / int_13eea985 | comment |
Arbitrary Skepticism In "Werewolf of the Timberland," Dr. Quest tells the boys there's no such thing as werewolves (and the one in the episode turns out to be a hoax anyways), despite the team having previously encountered monsters such as a mummy. "Turu the Terrible". Dr. Quest dismisses claims of a bird big enough to take away humans. Directly encountering Turu disabuses him of his skepticism. | |

Title Sequence Replacement: Much like what had been done with The Jetsons a year before, when the original series and the 1986 revival were syndicated together on The Funtastic World of Hanna-Barbera, the original show's Title Sequence was replaced with the revival's. Even the Episode Title Cards were redone in the new series' style, with the writers' names added. | |

Tempting Fate "Pirates from Below." The enemy leader is waiting for a mine attached to the Quest's underwater probe to detonate. Unfortunately for him, Race Bannon has removed the mine and let it drift up to the leader's ship. "Turu the Terrible." Dr. Quest and Race Bannon are sitting in front of a campfire. "The Devil's Tower." Klaus is dive-bombing the Quests with grenades but repeatedly misses. He then yells "This time I cannot miss!" His next grenade ends up in the wing of the biplane he's flying, blowing up the wing and sending him spiraling down to his doom. | |

The prisoners are used in sport, in which tribesmen throw their spears at the men, aiming to come as close as possible without inflicting damage. The last spear thrown grazes Benton's shirt collar. | |

Graceful Loser: when Professor Erikson loses an important piece of technology crucial to his anti-gravity experiment, he accepts the loss, claiming he isn’t the first scientist to go back to the drawing board. It helps that he still has the book that contains his research, the book the thieves were trying to get in the first place, so he doesn’t have to start entirely from scratch. | |

Jonny attacks Hadji, but Hadji uses a judo move to throw Jonny away and Jonny lands in a heap. After the misunderstanding is explained, Jonny praises Hadji's judo skill and they become friends. | |

Androcles' Lion "A Small Matter of Pygmies." A pygmy is being punished by the other pygmies by being tied to a stake so he can be eaten by a panther. Race, Jonny, and Hadji save him by shooting the panther and releasing him. When they're captured by the other pygmies, he returns the favor by releasing them. "Treasure of the Temple." The Quest team releases an Indian who had been staked out to die by the Big Bad and his mooks. When the team is captured by the Big Bad, the Indian gets them out of their cell to freedom. | |

Chekhov's Gun: "Mystery of the Lizard Men." The hydrofoil is used to escape the title opponents and the mirror Dr. Quest brings along saves the ship from a laser beam. "The Robot Spy." The Parapower Ray Gun Dr. Quest is working on is used to destroy the title device. "Arctic Splashdown." The snow skimmer the Quest team brings along is used by Hadji in an escape attempt. Also in this episode, an orca that was spotted near the beginning ends up saving Benton at a crucial moment in the climax. "Calcutta Adventure." Dr. Quest's ultrasonic amplifier is used to destroy the bad guys by causing an avalanche. "Pirates from Below." Jonny and Hadji's communication devices are used by them to communicate after Jonny is kidnapped. Dr. Quest uses the underwater probe's waldo arms to defend it against attack by the bad guys. "The House of Seven Gargoyles." Strontium Glacier is noted as being dangerous, and a Hoist by His Own Petard causes it to destroy the villains. Professor Ericson's helicopter is used by Dr. Quest and Race Bannon to pursue the bad guys. | |

Jonny Quest / int_234bd900 | comment |
For Science! In "The Dragons of Ashida" and "Terror Island" the Mad Scientists create giant monsters without any concern for the consequences of their actions. In the former case, Dr. Ashida did come to realize the implications of breeding giant bloodthirsty lizards and kept right on breeding them precisely because of this. A more benign example would be Dr. Quest himself, who always puts himself and his family in danger to investigate the strange, the odd, and the incredible. | |

Captain Ethnic: Hadji, as his main contributions to the team were snake-charming, rope-tricking, and other stereotypically Indian activities. The 1990s update gave him advanced computer skills, which in present day can be seen as unintentionally stereotypical. What's especially odd is he's described as a Hindu Indian, he wears a turban like a Sikh and "Hadji" is a Muslim title for someone who has made the pilgrimage (haj) to Mecca. The 1990s tried to also explain this away in A Day in the Limelight episode as an Orphan's Plot Trinket. | |

Batman Gambit: Dr. Zin pulls one in “The Robot Spy,� sending the eponymous spy in a flying saucer to the outskirts of a military base Dr. Quest is staying at to build “the Para-Power Ray,� knowing that Dr. Quest will likely be too curious of what could be an alien device to not bring it on base. The plan works and the spy manages to get information on Quest’s invention. The plan only falls apart when Quest uses the ray to bring down the saucer. | |

Noodle Incident | |
Jonny Quest / int_3c0a4666 | comment |
Noodle Incident The pilot episode reveals that Jonny’s mother is dead and that Race was assigned to be his bodyguard as a result. It’s implied her death was at the hands of Benton’s enemies, but the conversation never explicitly says how she died and the original series never brings it up again. The circumstances of her death are later retconned by the later reboots. In “Riddle of the Gold,� Benton sarcastically refers to Dr. Zin (who debuts in the episode) as an “old friend� to imply they’ve been enemies for a while but it’s never established in the series when or how they first crossed paths. | |

You Have Failed Me: In "The Quetong Missile Mystery," General Fong shoots one of his own men for this reason. It gets him killed when the dying man triggers the detonator that blows up the mine under Fong's boat. In "Dragons of Ashida," Dr. Ashida insults and discplines Sumi with a rod whenever he feels he's failed him. We see him do this after Sumi failed to catch and kill a fleeing laborer, threatens Sumi that "he knows what will happen" if he surrenders to Race during their match, and finally prepares to do so again when the Quest family successfully escape. Sumi has enough of it by the last one and throws Ashida to the dragons to be eaten. After Dietrich fails to retrieve the formula in the opening scene of "House of the Seven Gargoyles," his boss Ivar physically assaults him. | |

Jonny Quest / int_4f84cdef | comment |
Smug Snake: Dr. Ashida fits pretty well. Despite boasting of his skills and claiming Sumi calls him "his finest pupil," the only direct hits he lands on Race in their "friendly" sparring match are cheap shots and he's rather easily dealt with once Race starts fighting back. Sumi puts up a far more intimidating fight. Also, he might have bred the eponymous dragons, but it is Sumi who truly commands them as their trainer, a fact made abundantly clear when Sumi, tired of Ashida's shit, throws him to them to be devoured while Ashida can only flail and scream. | |

Exit, Pursued by a Bear | |
Jonny Quest / int_50c58a13 | comment |
Exit, Pursued by a Bear: Basically happens in any episode where the bad guys end up sharing screentime with a carnivore, monster, or other dangerous wildlife that they don't have complete control over. In "Treasure of the Temple," the Big Bad and his goons end up devoured by crocodiles (offscreen), after Race sinks their canoe with a well-placed rifle shot. In "Riddle of the Gold", Cassim, the assassin Dr. Zin hires to pull a Kill and Replace on a maharajah partner of his who has lived beyond his usefulness arranges for Dr. Quest to be killed in a rigged tiger hunt, either by the tiger itself or by Dr. Quest's guide who would "accidentally" shoot Quest while trying to save him from said tiger. The tiger ends up targeting and killing the guide instead. Cassim, meanwhile, meets his end when the maharajah's beloved pet leopard, having witnessed the killing of its owner, gets loose and goes looking for revenge. The titular "Werewolf of Timberland" (really a gold poacher in disguise), gets badly mauled and forced off of a cliff by a real grey wolf. The baron in "Shadow of the Condor" gets his plane attacked by a giant Andean condor while trying to shoot down Race Bannon in a WWI-style dogfight and crashes to his death. The fake yetis in "Monster in the Monastery" are all curb-stomped by a real yeti who took issue with their antics. The poachers/illegal gun runners turned hostage-takers in "Attack of the Tree People" end up being the only ones that the apelike tree people actually attack. Unlike the other examples, they aren't killed, just subdued until the authorities can arrest them. | |

Even Evil Has Loved Ones The human villain of “Turu the Terrible� seems to hold genuine affection for Turu, comforting it multiple times when it fails to kill the intruders and even sacrifices his own life in a vain attempt to save Turu from the tar pits. Compare this to how he viciously enslaved and abused the local population to work in his mine. "Shadow of the Condor." As psychotic as he is, it’s clear the villainous Baron von Freulich genuinely loves his dog, Willie. | |

"Dragons of Ashida," where the eponymous genetically engineered killer lizards obey Sumi emphatically, even though they are explicitly stated to be savage killers that willingly devour each other, and kill Ashida himself off-screen. Granted, Ashida flat-out states that Sumi is their keeper and has presumably "disciplined" them since they were young, so it might simply be ingrained behavior to obey him. | |

Two men, two kids and the Raj Guru (who's basically a non-combatant) against 9 armed men, and the odds are "just about right"? Sure, Race takes out eight of the guys while Benton and the boys take the last one. Or they would have if the yeti hadn't beat them to it. | |

Oculothorax: Dr. Zin's Robot Spy is a Spider Tank composed of a giant eye in a ball, set on spider legs. The title creature in "The Invisible Monster." It's a tear-drop shaped mass of energy with one large eye in the center of its "forehead." | |

What Happened to the Mouse?: "The Fraudulent Volcano" In the opening sequence, an old man manages to escape from the underground base. He doesn't appear at any subsequent point in the episode, and there's nothing to indicate that he contacted the authorities in any way. When Johnny, Hadji, and a police sergeant go off to rescue Dr. Quest and Race Bannon, the sergeant is attacked by two enemy guards and left in a heap. Jonny and Hadji take off and leave the sergeant behind and he doesn't appear again in the episode. It's not even made clear if the guards killed him or just rendered him unconscious. | |

Karmic Death | |
Jonny Quest / int_90d44f44 | comment |
Karmic Death: Multiple episodes. All of the examples in Hoist by His Own Petard except "Arctic Splashdown," "Mystery of the Lizard Men," and "Pirates from Below." "Arctic Splashdown." While trying to murder Dr. Quest, the Big Bad is blown up by the Self-Destruct Mechanism of the rocket whose guidance control he was trying to steal. "Riddle of the Gold": An assassin named Ali is killed by a tiger released by the villains while trying to assassinate Dr. Quest. The villain working for Dr. Zin is killed by the leopard pet of the man he murdered earlier. "Calcutta Adventure." The enemy Mook pilot strafing the Quests is killed when his plane runs into some trees, has its wings ripped off and crashes. "Shadow of the Condor." The Big Bad likes to shoot condors who live near his castle in the Andes. As he's trying to shoot down and kill Race Bannon in an aerial duel, a condor attacks his plane in revenge and causes him to crash into a mountainside. "Turu the Terrible." The Big Bad is killed while trying to save the titular Pteranodon he used to terrorize and enslave native workers. "Monster in the Monastery." A group of mooks masquerading as yeti (who tried to murder Jonny and Hadji) are killed by a real yeti who's angry about the impersonation. "The Fraudulent Volcano." A group of enemy mooks flying in hover platforms ram into a cliff and blow up while trying to kill the Quests. "House of the Seven Gargoyles." Dietrich (the dwarf masquerading as a gargoyle) is murdered by his boss Ivar. “Terror Island�. Chu Sing Ling’s experiments involve the waste from production flowing into the nearby beach water. He’s aware but doesn’t care enough to stop now. This creates a huge lizard that causes Chu Sing Ling’s death. | |

You Have Outlived Your Usefulness In the opening scene of "Riddle of the Gold," a Maharajah is shown working with Dr. Zin’s organization to produce fake gold. After he crows that he and Zin will now be the two richest and most powerful people in the world, Zin’s agent assassinates the Maharajah with a cigarette lighter fitted with a trick poisoned spike, stating only Dr. Zin will become rich and powerful from this operation. "House of the Seven Gargoyles." After Dietrich steals the MacGuffin of the episode, he demands payment for his work. His superior, Ivar, responds by shooting him off a parapet with a rifle. | |

Immune to Bullets: Episode "The Curse of Anubis." When Dr. Kareem is attacked by the mummy, he fires multiple gunshots into it but it is completely unaffected. "The Sea Haunt" creature is unharmed by bullets. "The Robot Spy" shrugs off machine gun fire, bazooka rounds and even tank shells. The pteranodon in "Turu, the Terrible" tanks several bazooka rounds fired at it by Race, and shooting it in the head only makes it dizzy—enough for it to fly right into a nearby tar pit and sink to its doom. | |

Giant Spider: In the episode "Terror Island," a Mad Scientist turns several animals (including a spider) into giant monsters using a mutagenic drug. The long legs and giant body of "The Robot Spy," well-known from JQ's opening credits, qualify it for this trope as well. In "Treasure of the Temple," Race Bannon is caught in the web of a giant cave spider and saved by the accurate shooting of Doctor Quest. | |

Dirty Communists | |
Jonny Quest / int_9c47b23b | comment |
Dirty Communists: Being set at the height of the Cold War, this is more or less inevitable. While never directly stated, several episodes have villains who are almost certainly working for either the USSR or China: “The Mystery of the Lizard Men� show the eponymous villains’ plot as sabotaging the US’ efforts in the Space Race. The villains in “Arctic Splashdown� are a submarine crew looking to steal Dr. Quest’s new guidance system technology from a downed missile. The crew is all but stated to be Soviet Navy. “The Quetong Missile Mystery� features what is clearly a Chinese Communist general building missiles off the shoreline of the fictional city of Quetong, a clear stand in for Hong Kong. “Terror Island� sees Chu Sing Ling’s island manned by Chinese Communist troops, showing that he’s at least working with the Communists if not an official part of them. "Monster in the Monastery" features a stand-in for Tibet being terrorized by fake yetis to weaken the place before an invasion by apparently the Chinese Army. | |

For the Evulz Seems to be the raison d'etre for some of the villains. Even animals will fall into this trope like the condor that tries to snatch Bandit in “Shadow of the Condor� (condors are scavengers) or the crocodiles that attack the swamp boat en masse in “Turu the Terrible� for no real reason. Even Race notes how bizarre the latter example is. | |

Bottomless Magazines "The Sea Haunt". The captain of the Dutch ship fires off 12 shots from a six-shot revolver without reloading, and a pair of Very pistols (single shot Flare Guns) are fired off 12 times without reloading. "Treasure of the Temple". After Perkins enters the cave with the stalagtites, he fires 9 shots from a 6 shot revolver without reloading. "Turu The Terrible": The boat captain fires 9+ shots from a 6 shot revolver. Dr. Quest loads Race Bannon's bazooka seven times, even though they are clearly not carrying any rockets. In "Monster in the Monastery" one of the villains dressed as a yeti fires at least 70 shots at Jonny and Hadji from an automatic pistol without reloading. | |

Jonny and Hadji arrive and call out to them just in time, telling them that the wolf is a friend. "Calcutta Adventure." Pasha Peddler shows up in his helicopter right after the team has been attacked by a mook in a plane. Race thinks he might be an enemy, but Hadji tells them he's a friend. | |

Cassandra Truth Despite having dealt with plenty of both deadly animals and dangerous men before, Dr. Quest turns Wrong Genre Savvy and very smugly scoffs at an escapee's warnings about "Dragons of Ashida." Just spending a few minutes with Ashida shows Quest how very wrong he was to dismiss those warnings. In “House of the Seven Gargoyles�, Jonny catches sight of submarine’s periscope in the fjord and notes one of the gargoyles moves to shoo a bird away. The others dismiss it as Jonny just seeing things but he’s absolutely right. | |

Hunting the Most Dangerous Game: A variation happens in “Shadow of the Condor� when the baron of the story uses Race as an opportunity to engage in one last dogfight to up his wartime kill count of 99 to an even 100. Because the baron decides to load his guns and *not* Race’s, it becomes less a dogfight and more an aerial hunt. The baron had also been seen earlier in the episode hunting condors which comes back to bite him in the end. | |

Jonny Quest / int_e70c45f0 | comment |
All Animals Are Dogs "Turu The Terrible" had the Quests encounter a trained attack Pteranodon. It responded to verbal commands like a dog. "Dragons of Ashida," where the eponymous genetically engineered killer lizards obey Sumi emphatically, even though they are explicitly stated to be savage killers that willingly devour each other, and kill Ashida himself off-screen. Granted, Ashida flat-out states that Sumi is their keeper and has presumably "disciplined" them since they were young, so it might simply be ingrained behavior to obey him. | |

In "Riddle of the Gold", Cassim, the assassin Dr. Zin hires to pull a Kill and Replace on a maharajah partner of his who has lived beyond his usefulness arranges for Dr. Quest to be killed in a rigged tiger hunt, either by the tiger itself or by Dr. Quest's guide who would "accidentally" shoot Quest while trying to save him from said tiger. The tiger ends up targeting and killing the guide instead. Cassim, meanwhile, meets his end when the maharajah's beloved pet leopard, having witnessed the killing of its owner, gets loose and goes looking for revenge. | |

Unbuilt Trope: In regards to Hadji saying "Sim-sim-salabim" with every magic trick, his first chronological appearance had him add "And all that jazz", making it clear the phrase is just for show, like a stage magician's catch phrase. All later incarnations would abandon this and have the phrase be key rather than be just for show. | |

A Way Out of a Cave-In: In "Treasure of the Temple," the Quest team is canoeing along an underground river, trying to find a way out. Doctor Quest notices crocodiles on the shore of the river, from which he deduces that the river must lead to an aboveground jungle stream. When the team reaches a fork in the river, Doctor Quest decides to let the current decide which way they'll go. He believes that it will be strongest in the main channel — that is, the one that leads to the surface. | |

Complexity Addiction: Dr. Zin suffers from this in “The Robot Spy.� His plan involves sending a UFO with his spy aboard and tricking the Quests into bringing it back on base where it can steal information on Dr. Quest’s Para-Power Ray. Unfortunately, this plan means that, once it has the data, the robot has to walk all the way back to the UFO to escape, giving Dr. Quest enough time to bring out the Ray to stop the robot. Had the robot simply landed on base, forced its way into the lab and then took off before the Quests could even mount a defense, Zin would have succeeded. | |

In "Dragons of Ashida," Dr. Ashida insults and discplines Sumi with a rod whenever he feels he's failed him. We see him do this after Sumi failed to catch and kill a fleeing laborer, threatens Sumi that "he knows what will happen" if he surrenders to Race during their match, and finally prepares to do so again when the Quest family successfully escape. Sumi has enough of it by the last one and throws Ashida to the dragons to be eaten. | |

Evil-Detecting Dog: One of Bandit's specialties. "Skull and Double Crossbones." When Jose asks Bandit if he wants to be friends, Bandit growls at him. Later we learn that Jose is The Mole, a spy for the Chief of a crew of pirates. "The Invisible Monster." A random dog in a village on the island senses the title character approaching and begins angrily barking, only to retreat in fear as the monster draws nearer. His owner comes out of his hut to see what's going on, with predictable if disastrous results. "Shadow of the Condor." When Bandit first meets Baron von Freulich he growls at him. Later von Freulich tries to murder Race Bannon. Weirdly averted in “Double Trouble� where Bandit actually sits in the lap of Race’s imposter on the way back to camp without any issues. It’s Koko the monkey that notices something wrong. | |
