Gru applies for the position and receives a response housed in a self-destructing 8-track tape. Now that the much-older Wild Knuckles is out of the picture, The Vicious 6-I mean Five-are looking for a much younger replacement.

I told you this movie wasn’t that clever. Just kidding! He’s voiced by Jean-Claude Van Damme. His name is Jean-Clawed and he’s voiced by Steven Seagal.
There’s Stronghold ( Danny Trejo), a nunchaku-wielding nun named Nun-Chuck ( Lucy Lawless), the Nordic strongman Svengeance ( Dolph Lundgren), and a dude with an enormous lobster claw for a hand.
The other four members have equally pun-based names. With her ever-changing wardrobe and enormous Afro, (which is animated with an impressive amount of texture) Belle looks like Cleopatra Jones.

They make me laugh and I’m not even remotely remorseful about that.
