| First screeching onto television screens in 1975 'Starsky & Hutch' brought much of the streetwise grit, violence, and the sheer excitement from hit movies such as 'Dirty Harry' to the small screen. There have been many Police TV series ever since then beginning of television, but 'Starsky & Hutch' had something else – this show was undoubtedly "cool". A huge hit at the time, and still stands its ground against the new Police series of today.
Disc Contents:
Snowstorm
Starsky and Hutch, along with three other Detectives, are involved in a large drugs bust, where pure cocaine with a street value three million dollars is seized. But following the successful raid, the detective duo come under suspicion when $1m worth of the drugs disappear. They have 48 hours to clear their names and the three fellow Detectives, who they assume to be innocent, and nail the drugs lord behind the operation – the same man who was responsible for the murder of Captain Dobey's former partner years before.
The Fix
Hutch is dating a girl who was formerly associated with a big-time mobster. But Hutch is abducted by the jealous mobster, who forcibly gets him hooked on heroin, in order to find out where the girl is. Starsky must find his friend and the people who did this to him before it is too late and Hutch ends up dead.
Death Notice
When a message is left scrawled on a table cloth in a strip club that one of the strippers will be killed, Starsky and Hutch are called in to protect the dancing girls and find the strange man who was sitting at the table. The hunt for the man intensifies as the stripper who was threatened is murdered, and another warned in a message that she is next; but a surprise twist means that the duo may not be looking for the right man.
Pariah
When Starsky and Hutch deal with an armed hold-up, in self defence Starsky is forced to shoot one of the felons - who turns out to be a 16-year-old youth. An enquiry into the incident is held and Starsky is cleared of any wrong-doing, and he and Hutch set out to find who supplied the teenager with the gun. But a mad-man who's son was previously knifed to death in a jail cell after Starsky arrested him, begins killing cops, demanding Starsky's resignation, and promising that the killings will continue until Starsky complies.
Kill Huggy Bear
Dewey, an old "acquaintance" of Huggy Bear's, robs a candy store, only to afterwards realise that the store is a front for a Mob numbers-fixing racket. Dewey once saved Huggy's life, and calling in the debt, he asks Huggy to use his underworld contacts and return the money to the Mob if they forgive him for the robbery. But Dewey's ex-partner and her new lover find out about the horde of stolen money, and decide to bump Dewey off, mug Huggy for the money before he can return it, and keep it for themselves.
