60 of 75 · most liked firstLalo Schifrin passed away. Maybe the most fun movie and TV composer, of all my faves. Enter the Dragon, Bullitt, Dirty Harry movies, Matt Helm movies, Cool Hand Luke, Mission Impossible, Mannix, Starsky & Hutch. A jazzy coolness in much of his work. His music makes you feel like the lead in a movie.

He's been in some of my fave films: Putney Swope (1969), Blaxploitation films like Shaft (1971), Cisco Pike (1972), and he played "Huggy Bear" on TV's "Starsky & Hutch" (1975-1979). And that's only the '70s! More: alt text

neutral · AI labelView post →Masters Of The Universe is a lot of fun and it's nice to see actual colour on a screen instead of just murky sludge. Tonally it's a weird one. It's not a parody of the cartoon but it is aware of how daft it all is. I'd say the closest thing to it in tone is the Starsky & Hutch movie. (1/2)

But the big crime show news this week is the unveiling of a made-for-TV movie called STARSKY & HUTCH, launching as a September series.
neutral · AI labelView post →I've taken enough film theory classes to confidently declare that a scene in the episode of Starsky & Hutch that I'm watching right now was filmed "day for night"
neutral · AI labelView post →I can see why they are doing the same thing. In my youth you had studios releasing remakes of Charlie's Angels, Starsky & Hutch, Dukes of Hazzard. I had a vague awareness of what those shows were, but they had legit movie stars headlining them. The mindset has stayed the same, but not the casting.

neutral · AI labelView post →Okay I know the Ben Stiller/Owen Wilson Starsky & Hutch isn't the best movie ever made but the concept of swapping the personalities of the titular characters from the TV show to the movie is really funny by itself
neutral · AI labelView post →I sorta miss the era of "We're gonna shit on something beloved only by old men" reboot movies. I'd never seen a single episode of Starsky & Hutch. Still haven't. And the movie wasn't great. But I'd still watch Stiller and Wilson in anything.
neutral · AI labelView post →Loved The A-Team film. Starsky & Hutch and The Dukes of Hazzard were shite, haven't seen the C.H.i.Ps movie so haven't got an opinion on that. Knight Rider, Street Hawk and AirWolf is needed next but quality versions.

negative · AI labelView post →Just started watching the 2004 Starsky & Hutch film. Turned it off after half an hour. They tried to make it a comedy by putting Owen Wilson and Ben Stiller in it. Failed spectacularly, as American filmmakers often do when attempting comedy. When I had a cancer scare it was funnier than this. 👎

Only clips from a 'modern', & IMO inferior, 'Mission Impossible' movie that merely reworked his original theme. What about Dirty Harry, & Starsky & Hutch for starters? There *are* still some of us alive who remember. 😠

In the case of Charlie's Angels I found the movie insulting. All three girls being expert kickboxers running up walls & doing backflips etc. 🤣

His unforgettable scores elevated classics like Cool Hand Luke, Dirty Harry, and Bullitt, and he brought the same fire to TV with themes for Starsky & Hutch, Mannix, and the iconic Mission: Impossible. #filmmaking #composer #soundtrack
