John Hillerman once again hams it up in a dual role, appearing in his traditional characterization as Jonathan Higgins and also as another of Higgins' half-brothers, a Northern Irish cleric named Father Paddy McGuinness. Convinced that Higgins' former Royal Army commander Allistair ffolkes (Richard Johnson) has stolen a sacred religious artifact during a recent search for IRA weaponry, Father Paddy has hatched an "eye for an eye" scheme to force ffolkes to give the item back. Even with all this going on, Magnum is determined to earn his money from his current client, an enigmatic boxer named Clarence (Lee Canalito) who thinks that his wife Angie--aka "Legs"--is cheating on him. Series creator Donald P. Bellisario plays a bit role in this final episode of Magnum, P.I.'s third season. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi
Film auteur Sylvester Stallone wrote, directed, and stars in this re-working of Rocky to fit an old-fashioned Hollywood formula, depicting three brothers from New York's Hell's Kitchen of the 1940s who want to claw their way out of poverty. Lee Canalito is the muscle-brained iceman Victor, and Armand Assante is the embittered, crippled war veteran Lenny. But the smooth-talking con man brother Cosmo (Sylvester Stallone), sees beef-cake Victor's fists as their ticket out of the slums. Cosmo, ever the manipulator, convinces the dull-witted Victor to participate in a series of bone-crunching wrestling matches as Kid Salami. Cosmo and Lenny exploit Victor's brute strength to grab the fast money on the wrestling circuit. But their climb to success is halted when the local gangster Stitch (Kevin Conway) puts up his malicious and dangerous wrestler Frankie the Thumper (Terry Funk) to fight against Kid Salami in a 22-round meat-pounder. ~ Paul Brenner, Rovi
