Glamorous females, a "cowboy" in modern dress and plenty of action--what not to like?
For some reason this television series set was not available in the USA. This DVD set came from Australia.
Mickey Spillane's Mike Hammer isn't really Stacy Keach's Mike Hammer. The author's character had the Cold War mentality of Sen. Joe McCarthy and a Hugh Hefner attitude toward women. The '80's television series softened the character's paranoid and violent tendencies but kept the womanizing.
As far as I know this series of Mike Hammer has 3 seasons. Only 2 seasons are present. It does have the pilot movies which is nice. But would like to have the 3rd season as well.
Stacy Keach's pre-incarceration Mike Hammers portrayal is top-notch. 80's tv gunfights are thrilling with lots of bullets flying, lots of near misses, glass shattering, but very little blood.
