Silk Stalkings (1991)
Completely unbelievable
While I realize this show was before the internet, there is a lot about this series that is completely unbelievable. Rita said in the pilot that Chris referred to the murders as "Silk Stalkings" and she called them "Bunker Shots". At no time through the run of the series did she ever call them that. Early in the series, Computers on the precinct desks are light boxes with no keyboards. The precinct looks like it's in a warehouse with comic book camera angles. And after Tom and Cassy come on board, nobody ever heard of Chris and Rita? Come on......
The Legend of the Lone Ranger (1981)
Interesting
What is most interesting about this film, other than it's parallels to Zorro (which was written in the early 1900's): is the fact that Klinton Spilsbury never spoke a single word of dialogue throughout the entire piece, his lines being completely dubbed by James Keach, Stacey Keach's brother; Harrison Ford's stunt double from the later release of Raiders being run over during the stagecoach stunt homage to Yakima Canutt; and that John Hart, temporary replacement for Clayton Moore on the TV version of the Lone Ranger, being cast as Mr. Striker, newspaper editor and creator of the Lone Ranger mythos.
I personally like this film despite it's flaws. It's good, but could have been so much better.
