    Not sure if y'all know it, but Bushido Brown is supposed to be a reference to popular black martial artists Jim Killy from the 70s. He also played in the bruce lee movie Enter the Dragon. That quote, "man, you come straight out of a comic book," is a quote that he says in the movie.

    Regina King was consistently the voice of Huey and Riley through the entire show’s run. But as with any voice over actor in a longtime role, she made subtle tweaks to both voices, so they sound even more distinct from each other. Starting with the second season, Huey’s voice gets a bit deeper and is more subdued, while Riley’s voice, while slightly deeper, is still a higher pitch with a slight raspy quality.

      ​@@nmmboyIn the pilot he was voiced by Alicia Keys but not for the whole season. I think Chris confused the amount of time alicia played Huey. But yes technically he is right. Regina was originally supposed to play on Riley but I guess something came up for Alicia or something cause regina then took over for the rest of the show and they liked it so much they decided to allow her to keep doing it. Which im very glad they did but I also would have loved hearing Alicia voicing Huey

    Also, to the guy who asked why his sword was turned backwards, it was specifically so he wouldn't hurt Riley. Despite him saying "You will NOT get outta here alive!" Huey doesn't actually want to kill Riley. He only used the katana to destroy the objects Riley used as weapons and to defend himself. He used the non-cutting edge on purpose, both to taunt Riley with it and to avoid causing him any life-threatening injury.
    Huey's a skilled enough fighter to know specifically what to do after all!
