Mike Hammer, Private Eye: A New Leaf (1998)
Stacy Keach (Jr) - Mike Hammer Shane Conrad - Nick Farrell (Mike Hammer's younger partner) Shannon Whirry - Velda (Hammer and Farrell's secretary) Peter Jason - Captain Skip Gleason (Mike's cop friend) This is a 1.00 disc containts the last two episodes of the television series Mike Hammer Private Eye (1997-1998) compiled into a single movie length episode.
This was an odd television series. A 1940s private detective in the 1990s. He owns a laptop computer.
Mike Hammer is hired to protect a tabacco company scientist who is going to testify about the company producing hybrid tobacco that has 3 times the natural levels of nicotine. His client gives him a computer disc. A moment later the client is shot dead. Hammer is too out of shape from smoking to be able to run after the murderer. Hammer's investigation takes him to Minute Man Tobacco where his bursting into a board meetiing gets him hired as the new spokesmodel. Before taking a trip to Virginia to meet the company chairman and get final approval, Hammer catches his client's killer but two members of the family that owns Minute Man Tabocco are murdered, and solving their murders may cost Hammer his new well paying job.
When two masked figures force their way into Hammer's office, take the disc and tie up his partner and secretary together, this sparks a romance, but by the end of the story the chemistry has warn off and the romance faded.
This okay for a $1.00.
The entire series is available in a 4 disc set. The (better and longer) 80s Mike Hammer (1984-1987) series isn't out yet.
