3/10
The Shooter
19 March 2021
Warning: Spoilers
The kind of cheesy episode that showed up just how hammy Hunter was a show and not in a good way.

I'm not talking about the scene where Hunter is chasing a black transvestite purse snatcher in high heels, except she is clearly wearing flats.

A motorcycle cop is blown away late at night by an assailant who asks him to draw. Later another cop is killed.

Hunter's investigations takes him to a seedy country & western bar with patrons playing a quick draw arcade game.

This is a laughably bad episode. A villain who kills cops because he is hacked off that they got a higher score than him in an arcade game.

Then there is the typical vigilante cop speech between Hunter and De Dee of them and us. A staple of Cannon Films of the time where the line would be spoken by a tough no nonsense cop played Charles Bronson.

Conveniently forgetting that if you are an innocent black person. You could be callously gun down by some cops and they would not even face punishment.
