The Source Material: The ongoing adventures of 007, fighting for Queen and Country against Commie aggressors and bonkers millionaires with gadgets, gals and enough quips to fuel the Edinburgh Fringe for decades.
Why It's Inappropriate For Kids: James Bond is a womanising death merchant who enjoys quipping after he's sent his foes to an ironic end. Probably not the sort of role model kids should be gawping at while they're stuffing themselves with cereal.
Modern Equivalent: The adventures of Jason new-Bourne, a mewling infant who also happens to be a trained killer.

There was a shot in the Rambo intro (where he hangs from a helicopter and then crashes through a window) that looked exactly like the Matrix. Tenuous? Probably.

It's no wonder parents eventually got p****d come the 90s(in the States at least) as studios in the 80s pretty much knew that ANYTHING action or broad comedy oriented, especially when Rated R, was going to be really popular with the audience who weren't old enough to be watching some of the movies hence the animated spin off shows. Regarding James Bond Jr was anyone ever really surprised that, despite their obvious elements, the Bond films would spin off a cartoon for kids considering the movies had become a family watching, Xmas, Bank Holiday etc tradition? At least the makers did what others didn't and created an appropriate new character.

Rambo - How many kids cartoons can you think of with a theme by Oscar-winner Jerry Goldsmith and an intro by voice-over legend Don LaFontaine? Class.
