T.J. Hooker film announced

[twaddington]

Plans to bring 80’s cop show T.J. Hooker to the big screen have recently been announced with director Chuck Russell (of The Mask and The Scorpion King fame) in line to take the helm. The show starred William Shatner as the no nonsense T.J. Hooker, a 15 year veteran police sergeant. Supporting cast included Richard Herd, Adrian Zmed and Heather Locklear. The script for the film will focus on the relationship between the title character and his father and will be written by Brent Maddock and S.S. Wilson.
I’m not really familiar with the series, probably a bit too young or a bit too English, but if it starred Captain Kirk then it must have been good. In case you needed it, here’s a reminder of just how cool old Bill Shatner is...

Possibly the most cringe inducing performance in history.

I think the NHS should use this in one of their health warning adverts to show why smoking isn't cool

re: The video. It's like the mumbling guy you get in the corner at a party past 1am, but with the rest of the party taken away.

At 0:25 I almost peed my pants

brrrrap, captain sheridan! 

anybody else think it'd be great if they kept shatner???

[twaddington]

Yeah definitely, I don't think he'll be quite as nimble as he was though.

totall giving them the opportunity to parody bruce willis/sly stallone/harrison ford in their returns to their franchises

[Sheridan Passell]

They already parodied this in Eddie Murphy's Showtime, with Shatner basically reprising the role.

...Just watching the intro there -
'And Richard Herd as Captain Sheridan'

More hilarity from the Season 4 opening:



From Heather Locklear's weak baton throw to the bizarre car chase at 0:57.

[Sheridan Passell]

They should have revealed in the last line of the last show of the series that his first name was actually Bob.

I've never seen an episode, but I'm SO in love with this show.
