Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaThe show is based on the action figures and playsets of the Rescue Heroes toy line by Fisher-Price. The action figures each had a mounting bracket on their back that allowed various rescue tools and equipment, such as jackhammers, cutting tools, and various firefighting equipment, to be affixed to the figure. Many characters were re-released with different appearances and new tools.
- GoofsIn "Shake Up in the Jungle", when Matt Medic and Wendy Waters land in the jungle, Matt Medic's hair goes from being matted, to his normal hair style, then back to matted, then to his normal hair style, then back to matted again. He would not have any time to fix his hair either, since the change is in the first four shots of when they are in the jungle.

Featured review
It does exactly what it says on the tin.
"Rescue Heroes" are heroes who rescue folks in peril around the world, any time, any place, anywhere (it's the right one, it's the light one, it's Martini... sorry, I got carried away); think "Thunderbirds" with women more heavily involved and music like the theme from "Third Watch," or "Emergency" with women more heavily involved and without the hospital bits.
The show's watchable for sure, but the characters don't exactly corner the market in personality - their names are the most distinctive things about them (Ariel Flyer, Billy Blazes, Roger Houston [the team's equivalent of John Tracy], Jake Justice etc.) - and the show is based on a line of Mattel toys, which is a mark against it from the off. (Not that toy-based cartoons are intrinsically bad; witness "Mighty Max.") And as for those little tips at the end of each story (now upped to two in the newer shows - the first season had one story per episode)... I thought the days of tacking advice onto the end of cartoons ended with Filmation. But it's still better than (insert Japanese-game-based cartoon of your choice here, except "Cardcaptors").
And remember, think like a Rescue Hero. Think safe.
