Trivia

Disney pulled this specific episode from several markets (including in the US) because moral guardians and television advisory groups objected to its content. It has since been added to the DVD collection. It's worth noting, however, that this is not the first time a character is shot on American animated television. The original Jonny Quest cartoon had at least one person get shot, as did Batman. See more »

The Best Gargoyle episode in the entire show.
27 February 2011 | by (United States) – See all my reviews

Remember when cartoons actually had plot and the balls to pull of those plots? This episode is a good way to feel nostalgic about those times.

Deadly Force follows 2 plots that come together at the end. In the first plot, Broadway is playing with6 Elisa's gun accidentally shoots her, and has to deal with the guilt and consequences afterward. While Broadway is away dealing with the guilt, the blame and suspicion falls on a crime lord that's selling guns on the street.

I remember this episode creating a lot of controversy. It never claims that Guns are horribly evil and no one should touch them, the episode DOES claim that guns are dangerous and should be treated with respect. I remember this episode being censored during reruns. Which is a shame because due to the message, it should've always been shown.

After all these years, it's still a tearjerker to see Elisa laying in a pool of her own blood (Something else that was censored when the episode WAS shown). It'd be nice to know if this episode ended up saving lives.
