Carl Weathers in Upcoming UK BBC3 Futuristic Action Comedy 'PHOO ACTION'

'Phoo Action', a new upcoming BBC3 Action Comedy is about to screen here on February 12th , and it looks as if its worth a watch. The Action-Comedy stars Hollywood big hitter Carl Weathers along with upcoming UK talent Jamie Winstone ( Kidulthood ), as you can see from the trailer, its not taking itself seriously and looks like a funride. A quote from the Creative Director of Phoo Action Jamie Hewlett is quoted in a recently UK tabloid as stating "I think it's the most weird and radical thing that the BBC have taken on since the Young Ones first aired in the early Eighties." Lets hope it lives up to that statement.

Car chases, kung-fu and comedy come together in the wonderfully warped world of Phoo Action - an offbeat 60-minute drama special for BBC Three.

Based on characters created by Jamie Hewlett (Gorillaz, Tank Girl) for The Face comic strip Get The Freebies, Phoo Action is set in 2012, when London is in the grip of mutant criminals, The Freebies.


Only Terry Phoo, a hapless Buddhist kung-fu cop, and unruly teenage heroine Whitey Action, the daughter of Police Chief Benjamin Benson, can save the nation.


Together they form an unlikely but effective crime-fighting team who bring together chaos and comedy, mischief and mayhem, to become heroes for a future generation in the face of Britain's super-vile, super-famous mutated criminals.

Jaime Winstone (Kidulthood) stars as teenage anarchist Whitey Action, Eddie Shin (ER) as martial arts sweetheart Terry Phoo and Rocky legend Carl Weathers as Benjamin Benson, Chief of Police and long-suffering father to the rebellious Whitey.
