So dangerous, so dangerous!

'''''Dangeresque''''' is a series of amateur [[Action film|action movies]] made by [[Strong Bad]], who also stars as [[Dangeresque (character)|the title character]]: "a private eye, a crooked cop, a secret agent, and a celebrity pharmacist" who fights both "the law" and "the crime". He is assisted by [[Renaldo]], played by [[Coach Z]], and encounters several other characters played by the various denizens of [[Free Country, USA]].

The homemade movies, shot with [[The Cheat]]'s video [[Cameras|camera]], parody cliches of 70s and 80s action filmmaking and are generally [[Poor Acting|cheaply made and poorly acted]]. Visual effects and titles are applied in-camera rather than through editing, with cardboard sets or [[The Stunt Double|stunt doubles]] very apparent. Dangeresque's method of crime fighting is patent nonsense, but the timely delivery of catch phrases like "Looks like I'm gonna have to jump!" always makes the [[Strong Bad's Ladies|ladies]] smile.

The ''Dangeresque'' series has not been released in production order (notably, ''Dangeresque II'' was [[stunt double|the first one shown]]); oftentimes only a portion of the full "movie" is shown in a toon. Series "canon" is very loose, befitting the informal production of entries.

* '''''Dangeresque 0: The Prequel Begins''''' ([[Dangeresque 3: The Criminal Projective Responses (Secret Lab)|mentioned in]] ''The Criminal Projective'')
** Taking place in [[1983]], a conflict with [[Professor Experimento]] results in [[Dangeresque 3: The Criminal Projective Responses (Strongborneo)|Dangeresque getting kicked out of the space program]].
* '''''Dangeresque 1: Dangeresque, Too?''''' — Not in 3D ("digitally remastered" director's cut shown in [[dangeresque 3]])
** Dangeresque and his new partner [[Dangeresque Too]] must put aside their differences to reclaim a serum stolen by [[Perducci]], which will prevent [[Cutesy Buttons]] from getting kidnapped.
* '''''Dangeresque II: This Time, It's Not Dangeresque 1''''' (highlights shown in [[stunt double]])
** Dangeresque risks life and limb to recover a missing VHS tape, coming into conflict with the dastardly [[Baron Darin Diamonocle]].
* '''''Dangeresque 3: The Criminal Projective''''' — in 3D! (a playable game released as [[Dangeresque 3: The Criminal Projective|the fourth episode]] of [[Strong Bad's Cool Game for Attractive People]])
** Renaldo is about to retire when the case to get the formula to restore Cutesy Buttons's rainforest escalates into a large adventure climaxing into a confrontation with Uzi Bazooka and Craig.
** [[Dangeresque: THREE in 3D|An edited version of the game's cinematics]] was released in anaglyph 3D on the [[SBCG4AP Collector's DVD]].
* '''''Dangeresque: Put Em on Ice!''''' (featured in a [[rock opera]] Easter egg)
** A brief scene of Dangeresque ice skating is shown. This may have been a stage production rather than a movie.
* '''''[[Dangeresque: Puppet Squad|Dangeresque: Puppet Squad - The Curly Fried Caper]]'''''
** Dangeresque and Dangeresque Too track down the guy who stole his curly fries that one time.
* '''''Dangeresque 4 ÷ 2 = 6''''' (featured in [[sbemail 206]])
** A fake movie trailer released as an [[April Fools']] joke, Dangeresque and Dangeresque Too encounter [[Duplicate Characters|duplicates of themselves]].
* '''''[[Dangeresque Puppet Squad: The Hot Jones Hijack]]'''''
** Invited to the [[Cheat Commandos]] Bring-Your-Own-Hot-Jones Decemberween Party, Dangeresque and [[Firebert]] must recover the [[Hot Jones]] that has been stolen by [[Stingy Relenque]].
* '''''[[Dangeresque: The Roomisode Triungulate]]''''' (a trilogy of games)

Sounds dangerous? No, sounds... Dangeresque!

</div>

</div>

</div>
''Dangeresque'' is scored in the manner of jazz-funk soundtracks of 1970's [[Police procedural|police dramas]], albeit filtered through both Strong Bad's limited budget and [[The Brothers Chaps]]' [[FAQ|penchant for]] "old [[Casio Keyboards|Casio keyboards]] or worse". The primary music piece is "[[The Theme from Dangeresque II]]" (occasionally abbreviated as "Dangeresque Theme" or simply "Dangeresque"), a ''[[Theme from Shaft|Shaft]]''-style anthem recounting the character's coolness, skills, partners, and exploits. A main riff from this song is regularly used as a [[Sting (musical phrase)|sting]] to punctuate a dramatic moment; oftentimes an even shorter vibraslap hit, guitar riff, or keyboard riff will be used to similar effect.

The score to ''Dangeresque 1'' is simply provided by Strong Bad's vocalizations, with an occasional vibraslap sting. From ''Dangeresque II'' onwards, the series uses actual music. The ''Puppet Squad'' entries additionally use the theme from [[Rough Copy!]] alongside traditional Dangeresque music.

End credits are scored with more upbeat pop-rock anthems, with contributions from [[Limozeen]]. "[[Today is Alright 4 2Nite]]" plays over the end credits of ''1'' and ''3'', and ''[[Dangeresque: The Roomisode Triungulate|The Roomisode Triungulate]]'s'' credits are set to "You're Gonna Have 2 Jump".

The ''Dangeresque'' theme appears in [[Poker Night at the Inventory]], re-interpreted as a downtempo jazz instrumental to fit the mood of the game.

* Dangeresque's cool glasses are illustrated in the liner notes of the [[Strong Bad Sings and Other Type Hits|Strong Bad Sings CD]]. Strong Bad himself is obviously the illustrator, since he does not fail to remember the hatching (see [[suntan]]).
* [[The Brothers Chaps]] had [[stunt double|originally planned to name the series]] "Danger Man". However, upon learning that the name had already been used by [[Danger Man|a 1960s TV series]], the decision was made to change to "Dangeresque".
* Elements of Dangeresque may be inspired by the audio show ''[[Sounds Dangerous!]]'' from [[Disney|Walt Disney World]]. The show featured undercover cop Charlie Foster ([[Drew Carey]]) taking down smuggler Lefty Moreno, who is disguised as circus performer The Great Rinaldi.
* In the email [[the movies]], it is said that Dangeresque 3 will come out "We'll See...". It also shows four crossed out dates, ranging from 2004 to 2006 (all having passed by the time of the email's release). Later in the same email, Strong Sad (who was listing every movie that onscreen actors had starred in), reacts to Strong Bad by stating "He was in Dangeresque 1 and 2!"
** The [[Sega|Genesis]] version of ''[[Lufia and the Fortress of Doom]]'', which was eventually cancelled, had a similar ad campaign to that poster for Dangeresque 3.
* When Strong Bad is interviewed in [[DNA Evidence]], he acts in character and costume as Dangeresque, and the Dangeresque theme often plays in the background. The "Looks like I'm gonna have to jump!" catchphrase also makes an appearance.

* [[Homsar]] is the only main character not to have any role in the movies.
