Features: DVD, Commentary
In the fall of 1986, an unsuspecting TV nation met a new kind of comedy hero who made Rambo look like Pee Wee Herman. David Rasche starred as the trigger-happy lawman whose hatred of criminal scum and yogurt eatin' creeps was matched only by his love of excessive force and a .44 Magnum. Over the next two seasons, this hilariously deranged lampoon of Dirty Harry and plenty of other targets became one of the most notorious series in television history and launched a rabid cult of fans that grows to this day. This is Sledge Hammer!The complete first season of Sledge Hammer! is now newly re-mastered (including removal of the laugh track) and loaded with an arsenal of exclusive extras that features uncensored footage, all-new interviews with stars David Rasche, Harrison Page and Anne-Marie Martin, audio commentaries and more, all given the "Hammer" seal of approval by Series Creator & Executive Producer Alan Spencer.
Editor's Note
Unleashed on an unsuspecting television audience in the fall of 1986, Sledge Hammer centers on a renegade police detective (David Rasche) whose credo is shoot first and ask questions six months later. Armed with his trusty .44 magnum, the eponymous hero doles out his unique brand of justice to any piece of criminal scum who is unlucky enough to cross his path. The recipient of critical praise and much controversy, this comic spoof of DIRTY HARRY has enjoyed a growing cult status since it left the air in 1988. This 4-volume collection includes the entire first season of the all-nonsense cop show.
