Developed by the creators of ''WebVideo/ItalianSpiderman'', ''Danger 5'' is an oddly compelling action/comedy set in a bizarre AlternateUniverse based on cheesy old TV and pulp fiction cliches. It features the Danger 5 team directly assigned to thwart Hitler's diabolical plans, which involve anything and everything from Japanese robots to Nazi-controlled dinosaurs.

* RaceLift: In season 1, Pierre is played by Italian actor Aldo Mignone. In season 2, he has been recast with Zimbabwean actor Pacharo Mzembe. Becomes truly ridiculous in the TimeTravel episode of season 2, where Mignone returns as Pierre's past self, suggesting some in-universe event that changed Pierre's appearance so radically. To make matters even sillier, the Mignone Pierre immediately recognizes the Mzembe Pierre as his future self.
