Street Hawk	comment	A fairly trope-heavy 1985 series centered around Jesse Mach (played by Rex Smith), a police troubleshooter enlisted by the government to fight crime undercover on the superbike Street Hawk. Notable for its soundtrack by Tangerine Dream. Has a kickass opening theme song.A single season of thirteen episodes was made. A lot of interesting information on the series can be found at the Street Hawk Online website.

Street Hawk / int_112890b3	comment	Secret Identity: The entire premise of the show is a crime-fighting superhero by night who's really just an ordinary guy by day, and only one man knows his identity.

Street Hawk / int_170705e4	comment	Translation Matchmaking: In Argentina, the show was released as The Fantastic Motorcycle, implying it was part of a franchise that included The Fantastic Car (Knight Rider) and The Fantastic Helicopter (Airwolf), series which had absolutely NOTHING to do with one another!

Street Hawk / int_2b706ca	comment	More Dakka: One of the Street Hawk's weapons is a cut-down M-60 machine gun. Jesse often uses it by blowing out enemy tires or blasting around them and making them run like hell.

Street Hawk / int_3cb3772f	comment	Pocket Rocket Launcher: After the Street Hawk's laser malfunctions in the climax of the pilot episode, Norman decides to increase the motorcycle's firepower in the second episode by adding a missile launcher and a cut-down M-60 machine gun to the bike. Both weapons fit within the Street Hawk's nose and occasional close-ups of the launcher firing imply that the missiles (which blow up real good and non-lethally when required) are the size of a firecracker.

Street Hawk / int_3dd3951e	comment	Cowboy Cop: Jesse. His Establishing Character Moment is risking himself (and a very valuable bike) on a motorcycle stunt done for kicks, and Da Chief chews him out as a result. After his knee injury in the pilot episode leaves him transferred to desk duty, he becomes a Cowboy PR guy as a result.

Street Hawk / int_56863152	comment	Operation: [Blank]: "Project Street Hawk", a secret government operation to create and field-test a revolutionary urban attack motorcycle for eventual release to law enforcement. It's super-secret (and thus a two-man operation) because the government obviously thinks being blatant about an attack motorcycle would draw some negative press.

Street Hawk / int_5e782d0c	type	Super Prototype
Street Hawk / int_5e782d0c	comment	Super Prototype: The Street Hawk motorcycle is this and the original point of Project: Street Hawk is to test it out. The pilot episode has a concession to the reality to that with the bike's monitoring system beginning to flash a warning to Mission Control that it was overheating during Hyperthrust and Tuttle orders Mach back to base. Presumably, Tuttle corrects that specific problem since it does not come up for the rest of the series.

Street Hawk / int_68edd0d1	comment	Overdrive: Known as "Hyperthrust." Interestingly, it's computer-controlled, which is required with a countdown and a prepared route for the bike to avoid collisions. It also means that on a Big Blackout episode the computers aren't reliable and thus Hyperthrust is not available.

Street Hawk / int_9099c21c	comment	GPS Evidence: The pilot episode had the Big Bad racing around using a tricked-out "monster truck" of a pick-up, which had an unusual kind of paint on it. After Jesse pulls some chips off the bike of his deceased friend (and a lot of legwork), the heroes manage to find the one body shop in town that made that specific kind of work (still, the Big Bad paid cash-only and there was no name... but the Commissioner's recently-scratched car was there and the shop's manager remembered that one man knew the other...)

He does some additional threatening on-screen when the Commissioner tries to do a Screw This, I'm Outta Here mid-episode as a result of him killing a cop).
