Well before the explosion of TV police procedurals in the '90s, there were notable cops doing serviceable gumshoeing in the pursuit of law and, well, order. One of the best was the Mickey Spillane's Mike Hammer series in the '80s, starring Stacy Keach as the world-weary Hammer, chucking off hard-boiled bons mots as he got ever-more entangled in the seamy underbelly of murder and conspiracy. This double-feature set includes More Than Murder, with cool cameos by an assortment of '80s character actors including a pre-Designing Women Delta Burke; and Murder Me, Murder You, which features a lovely Michelle Phillips as Hammer's ex-flame and Tanya Roberts as the enticing Gal Friday Velda. If the writing and plotting seem a little clunky in hindsight, there's still no denying the appeal of Keach and the Mike Hammer character, who's every bit as jaded as Raymond Chandler's Philip Marlowe. Keach was nominated for a Golden Globe in 1984 for his tough-as-hardtack portrayal of Hammer, and revisiting these episodes is a reminder of both the great chops Keach possessed, and of the appeal of the tough-guy dick as seen through the jaundiced eye of Mickey Spillane. --A.T.

Average Rating:  out of 5 stars

Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - More to Come?
This is no doubt a fine "Double Feature" fare. However, I for one will hold out until the 2 later feature-length films, namely "The Return of MS's MH" and "MS' MH: Murder takes All" are released, specifically as part of a QUADRUPLE feature set.



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Hard-boiled Satisfaction
I recall watching this show when it was first aired, and I still love the strains of "Harlem Nocturne" evoking the rains-spattered streets of Philip Marlowe and the darkened alleyways of Mike Hammer. Stacey Keach plays the private dick with his tongue firmly pressed in his cheek, while still radiating enough gravitas to help you suspend disbelief. These made-for-TV movies are fun, sometimes bordering on pastiche, but it's the way I like to remember Mike Hammer; no, he's not Marlowe, nor is he intended ... Read More



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Murder, deceit, and retribution.
Ayn Rand mentions Mickey Spillane as having great literary potential, but though Mr. Spillane delves into the innermost being of Mike Hammer, Mr. Spillane had no interest in literary greatness. His admitted interest? Earning sufficient for a 'hang loose' good life. Mr. Spillane understands man's (and woman's) wants. Stacy Keach understands Mike Hammer, the Private Investigator often caught up in murder, mayhem and mercenary thought. Spillane, Hammer, and Keach present life as it is; filled with givers ...

Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - Solid turnout for Keach & Spillane
If you like Spillane's Hammer stories and/or Keach, it's well worth while.



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Mickey Spillane's Mike Hammer double feature
I love all the Mike Hammer episodes and movies so this has been a real treat. Very fun. Somewhat cheesy in parts but that is to be expected because of the time period it portrays and the era it was made. Great stuff for Mike Hammer/Stacy Keach fans
