Sledge Hammer! (1986)

Written by GenerationofSwine on January 12, 2023

Yeah, this was really more of a comedy. And it was a comedy that mocked all of the detective and tough cop shows and movies that were popular in the 70s and 80s.

In fact, it did such a great job spoofing all of them, hitting all the tropes with exaggeratedly hysterical accuracy that I kind of think that maybe Sledge Hammer! is the reason that we don't see that many shows like that any longer.

Anyway, the word "hilarious" comes up a lot in the reviews and for good reason. It was brilliant and too short lived.
