A half-human, half-vampire female samurai prophesized to birth a new breed of "day walking" vampires attempts to defeat the one villain who will lead his bloodsucking minions in a devastating battle to exterminate the entire human race. Shira is a warrior whose ferocity knows no boundaries, and Kristof is a vampire who knows no mercy. Legend has it that Shira will usher in an entirely new era of vampirism, and era in which these creatures can finally emerge from the darkness to stalk their prey in sunlight. Unfortunately for Shira, the powerful Kristof is ready to force the prophecy to fruition in order to realize his own diabolical drive for power. With the fate of all mankind residing in the power of one skilled female warrior, the only thing left for mortal man to do is pray. ~ Jason Buchanan, All Movie Guide

No sooner has she arrived that someone steals her purse--and when the police catch up with the thief, they find a role of microfilm amongst Jessica's belongings. Immediately, the KGB accuses our heroine of being a spy--which doesn't anger her quite as much as the subsequent murder accusation leveled at an old friend. ~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide

Season four of T.J. Hooker opens with the titular police sergeant (William Shatner) and his partner-protégé Officer Vince Romano (Adrian Zmed) agonizing over the fact that their colleague, Officer Stacy Sheridan (Heather Locklear), is in a coma after being shot in the line of duty. Though some viewers may have suspected that Stacy had been rendered immobile so that actress Locklear could spend more time playing Sammy Jo Dean on the nighttime soap opera Dynasty, the character quickly recovered for more thrilling adventures in uniform. (And no, contrary to popular belief, she is not taken hostage in every episode!) Worth noting this season is the series' plethora of guest stars. Among many others, Dennis Franz and Heather Thomas are seen in the episode "Hardcore Connection," Jim Brown appears in "Anatomy of a Killing," Sharon Stone is prominently featured in "Hollywood Starr," Marjoe Gortner and Lauren Tewes show up in "Lag Time," and a pre-Beverly Hills 90210 Tori Spelling co-stars with a pre-Designing Women Delta Burke in "Grand Theft Auto." The series' 72nd episode, "The Chicago Connection," was the last to be seen on ABC. But though it had lost its parent network, T.J. Hooker would be back for a fifth season on rival web CBS. ~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide

The second (and first "full") season of T.J. Hooker finds the titular police sergeant (William Shatner) taking on wider responsibilities than his "official" job as trainer at the LCPD Academy Precinct. Along with Hooker, hotheaded rookie cop Vince Romano (Adrian Zmed) is back, as is T.J.'s no-nonsense superior, Captain Dennis Sheridan (Richard Herd). Gone, however, is trainee Vicki Taylor (April Clough), replaced by a new rookie named Stacy (Heather Locklear), who happens to be Captain Sheridan's daughter. Although most of the season's storylines focus on the Hooker - Romano relationship -- Romano has the makings of a good cop, but he's still too reckless and impulsive for his own good -- Stacy is able to prove her worth in record time, and by season's end she has embarked upon her first week of field training. Her new partner is veteran cop Jim Corrigan (played by James Darren), who had previously appeared on the series as a drag racer named Devil Dan Danko in the episode "King of the Hill." As the season progresses, the character of Hooker's ex-wife Fran (Lee Bryant), who figured prominently in the earliest episodes, fades into the background, save for a spectacular "comeback" in "The Hostages." This doesn't get Hooker off the hook, as it were, in matters of male-female relationships, as witnessed by a midseason episode in which our hero clashes with new police commissioner Ms. Cooke (Laraine Stephens), who doesn't agree with his methods. Of special interest during season two are the re-teamings of William Shatner with his former Star Trek co-star Leonard Nimoy, who not only portrays Lt. Paul McGuire in "Vengeance is Mine," but also serves as director for another episode, "The Decoy" (with Stacy, naturally, in the title role). ~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide

William Shatner stars as T. J. Hooker in this pilot for the long-running TV cop series. As our story opens, the sandpaper-tough Hooker is reeling from a recent divorce and the death of his partner. Thus when T.J. is put in charge of a group of rookies, it's no picnic for anyone. Also appearing in this 90-minute pilot film is Adrian Zmed, who would remain on the subsequent series (at least until 1985) as trainee Vince Romano. Heather Locklear, the second most famous T.J. Hooker alumnus, was absent from the pilot, and in fact wouldn't show up on the series until the second season. ~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide

This mediocre slasher film from director Andrew Davis is worth watching more for its cast than for its cliched story. The film is set in the usual isolated forest, where a ratty-looking killer (who seems to be covered with Spanish moss) makes survival difficult for some foul-tempered campers. Among the doomed are future luminaries Rachel Ward, Daryl Hannah, and Adrian Zmed. The leaders, played by Joe Pantoliano and Mark Metcalf, are some of the most irritating characters in any 1980s slasher film, bickering until they sound like tenderfoot versions of Barnes and Elias from Platoon. The characters' constant ill temper is designed to add to the tension, but serves only as a distraction. The murders are low-key and dull, save for Metcalf's well-handled death scene, and the obligatory "telling of the legend" is less spooky than obnoxious. ~ Robert Firsching, All Movie Guide
