rentatrip1 Plot outline is a re - do of NIGHT RIDER . Using the Good Guy gets to run all over the place in a Super Duper Custom (Motorcycle) Vehicle . But this Hot Set Up does not talk !
sharlzg I loved this show. My whole family would watch it every week.I've recently been rewatching all my old 80s & 90s favourites, and a lot of them I can't keep watching because they're just too cheesy. This.... well I'm loving it all over again.Yes, I love the bike (who wouldn't), but mostly I love that the lead is not a chauvinistic, sleeze (and as much as I loved Knight Rider, the sleeziness of of his character really annoyed me when I started re-watching it).It's a shame this one didn't last the distance.(I heard they're considering a remake/sequel series.... I really hope that comes to fruition. I'd definitely watch it. Wonder if Clooney will make an appearance. & I wonder if he;ll get billing this time ü)
uds3 Yeah well, KNIGHT RIDER made it because a 4 wheel crime-buster was always going to win out over a two-wheeled vigilantemobile! Street Hawk's "Harley with attitude" might have had a 200 mph speed capability and a $3 million price tag (bit suss, that one!) but when all was said and done, Rex Smith was no Steve McQueen! More like crime-fighter Disney style.Best of the offerings, the actual Pilot telemovie entitled STREET HAWK. It ran for 75 minutes and was released in many countries as a one-off video. (I have a copy!) Besides some skimpy background to Street Hawk's existence - The rookie cop, consigned to Public Relations, mega-bike wages war against the local "Mr Big" (Christopher Lloyd in a most un-Disney role). Not only does Jess Mach (Smith) take out Lloyd's cronies, he performs an aerial ballet that sees Lloyd and his 4 Wheel drive nose dive DUEL style off a desert cliff!Music by Tangerine Dream was certainly a plus, although suspiciously ripped off from the NZ scifi actioner BATTLETRUCK, which coincidentally features a hero riding a superbike!
Head42 For a youngster in the early-and-mid-eighties, this light-hearted piece of renegade cop force fluff was "too rad!" Rex Smith, prettier than any law enforcement officer has a right to be, had all the toys: A motorcycle that would go, like, 180 mph in traffic while firing small rockets, total video uplink to the master crime lab in his helmet, and a racing suit form-fitted to his body by immersing him in a vat of high-tech foam! Silly, but certainly no worse than, say, "Team Knight Rider."
