Forgotten 80s gem

Forgotten 80s gem
I'm very happy to have found this forgotten 80s gem here on amazon as I couldn't find it anywhere else. Street Hawk was a show I remember watching at least once when I was a kid, although I don't remember any specific episode prior to watching it on DVD.Rex Smith plays Jesse Mach a.k.a. Street Hawk, who fights urban crime with the help of his high - tech motorcycle, much like Knight Rider. The difference being that while the basic functions of the motorcycle are run by Jesse, the special controls, like hyper - thrust, are controlled by Norman Tuttle (Joe Regalbuto) from a secret base of operations. I always thought it was cool how the doors to the base opened and Street Hawk flew out through them on his motorcycle, similar to how Knight Rider came out the back of a semi trailer, only with more style.I found the show an enjoyable and fun watch after three decades. Some episodes were directed by Virgil W. Vogel, who also directed episodes of Knight Rider and Airwolf, so the similarities are apparent. The "hyper - thrust" mode to make the bike go faster is the equivalent of the "super pursuit mode" in Knight Rider and the "turbo boost" in Airwolf and, of course, because it's 80s, they sped up the camera to make it look like the motorcycle is going faster than it really is. That said, I have to agree with some other reviewers here who say the show is less campy than Knight Rider. Absolutely. At least Street Hawk had some decent story ideas and not some tired, cheesy plots like Knight Rider had towards the end of its run (such as the season three episode "Circus Knights" where Michael and Kitt investigate the death of a circus performer. Booorring.) One of my favorite episodes is "Female of the Species," which is a complex plot about a young man who is the son of a rich and powerful family who is protected by a federal agent. Jesse is approached by a reporter to get information on the man, but finds out the woman isn't who she says she is. It features Dennis Franz (pre - NYPD Blue) and Ann Turkel, an actress who also featured in several episodes of Knight Rider. It had some great detective work and some fun action scenes with the bike towards the end. All in all, an entertaining show. I know the show had a short run, so I wasn't expecting a lot of episodes (13 total), but I do think they are re - watchable so that's a plus.I do have a few gripes. Like some have said, I think they could have remastered the picture and sound more, especially when you compare it to Knight Rider and Airwolf (Airwolf has superb surround sound quality for an 80s show). It sounded a bit muffled upon viewing the first few episodes, so I had to turn up the volume, but once I did that, it was decent enough, but still could have been better. Also, it took a long time for the DVDs to read on my DVD player and at least two out of the four discs wouldn't even play, hence the 4 stars. Thankfully, I have a Blu - ray player, which will read almost anything, and so I was able to play the discs on there, otherwise, I would have been stuck with DVDs that didn't play. It is unclear to me why my DVD player would not read some of the discs. I bought the Street Hawk DVD new and there are no major defects on them that I can see, so I'm not sure what the issue is, but I am still able to play them and that's what counts.The special features include a documentary with updated interviews of Rex Smith and the rest of the cast and crew, stills galleries, and biographies. I like that they included an episode guide booklet with the package, which also includes some blueprints of the bike. The discs come in the usual plastic case, but the discs are stacked on top of each other, which could allow them to get scratched. I would have preferred the flip holders like the ones that came with Knight Rider, but that's a minor gripe.All that said, if you are a fan of 80s' shows like Knight Rider and Airwolf, then Street Hawk is for you. Cheesy? Yes. Entertaining? Absolutely.
