Great news for 1980’s schlock-t.v. enthu­si­asts: Street Hawk is about to receive a “com­plete series” pack­age from the folks at Shout! Factory.  For those who don’t remem­ber it, this one-season show was cut from the same cloth as Blue Thunder and Knight Rider.  It starred erst­while singer/heartthrob Rex Smith as an ex-cop who is cho­sen by the gov­ern­ment to drive a high-tech, weapons-laden motor­cy­cle to fight crime.  If that’s not 1980’s enough for you, it’s worth not­ing that Tangerine Dream did the show’s sound­track.  This 4-disc set will fea­ture all episodes and some nice extras to sweeten the deal.  Keep read­ing for all the high-octane info…
