Starsky and Hutch: The Fix (1975)
Best episode ever
I recently saw this one for the first time, though I am a big fan of 70's and 80's series. Basically, Hutch gets kidnapped because some gangster wants his girlfriend, and they try to make Hutch tell them where she is by getting him hooked on heroin. After a week of injecting him with the stuff he is hopelessly addicted and talks, however he manages to escape. A brilliant scene follows, where Starsky finds his partner and together with Huggy Bear, they hide him. He basically has to go through 48 hours of hell to get all the heroin out of his system, and seeing his partner suffer like this, Starsky decides to hunt the people who did this to him down. Everything is acted out into detail, the episode is without a doubt the best one I have seen, and a triumph to the producers.
Dead Bang (1989)
good film
I've liked most of Don Johnson's work and this movie proves how versatile he is. His character is so very different from his Miami Vice days, though I liked those series a lot as well. I would recommend this movie to anyone who likes cop-films, this is one of the best I've seen. Lots of action, good storyline, a good 80's film.
I also just wanted to correct the previous person to comment on this film as Don plays Det. Crockett in Miami Vice - there is no-one in Miami Vice called Stubbs - only Crocketts detective partner Tubbs springs to mind.
Obviously everyone is entitled to his/her own opinion, and though this film may not be huge, remember it's been made for people who like this sort of stuff.
