We're first introduced to Detective Rick Hunter (Fred Dryer) driving a piece of crap car and without a partner. He figures out that a robbery of the bank he's in is about to go down. He subdues one, but two get away in a car. Hunter of course captures him after a lengthy car chase. Back at the station house he's chastised by his new superior who tries to team him up with an ass, but Hunter picks Detective McCall (Stepfanie Kramer), the only other cop who's even a bit like Hunter himself. Together they try to solve the crime of a nut carving up middle aged blond haired blue eyed girls., not knowing the culprit might be a bit more close to him then either suspect. This pilot episode of the TV series got me hooked when I was a kid. Only four shows were beyond cool in my eyes while in the '80's Hunter, the a-team, magnum PI, and Miami vice. And while they all had pretty bad seasons as time were on, Hunter (when it started) was among the best of them. This pilot movie rocked.
My Grade: A
