I had one of those as a kid. The last phrase left on mine was "I'm going in for a look!" so that's all I remember. Just found two more on a forum:

which are:
"Send a rescue truck!"
"Stand by for instructions."
There must be a couple more at least.

I never knew about Big Jim. He sounds cool though. He reminds me of a lot of guys I knew growing up. Not necessarily the Kung Fu part. I do have an uncle who was in the Navy back during WW2 and Korean War. He knows martial artists. Big Jim definitely represents guys like him.

When I see that image of talking Big Jim with that clunky pull string red backpack, all I can think is “Looks bad. Be careful,” which is the phrase that mine said nine times out of ten string pulls. Initially it was disappointing, but then I discovered it could be hysterical by having his pals ask him random things and have him rerspond to all of them with “Looks bad. Be careful.” Of course, eventually it just became annoying.

i don’t even remember what the other phrases were, but I can hear that “Looks bad. Be careful,” precisely still, 40 years later.
