Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaMike says to Pat that only one person was executed in the United States last year, and this is true. Seeing this was released in April of 1983, it must have been filmed in 1982, so Mike was referring to the calendar year of 1981, during which there was only one execution, that of Indiana quadruple murderer Steven Judy in March, 1981.
- GoofsMore than once, some of the characters speak of the use of the gas chamber for execution, but up to this point, the means of execution in New York State had been the electric chair. beginning with William Kemmler at Auburn in 1890 - there is no record of the use of the gas chamber in New York.
- Quotes

Featured review
Very interesting Thriller, a Mike-Hammer TV-Special. The plot is excellent and has a few surprises and the cast is brilliant. Stacy Keach plays Mike Hammer as always but Tanya Roberts as his secretary Velda is a real pleasure. She bewitches us with her girlie-like charme and her soft sex-appeal.
