Anyone ever see this bad 80's TV movie called (wait for it...) "Gladiator"? It was about this guy (TV's Wiseguy, Ken Wahl) whose younger brother is killed by this evil, black Charger driving loonatic who's going around town killing people with his car. (Think Death Proof but without all the boring dialogue).
Anyhoo, when the local police do nothing to bring the killer to justice (natch), ol' Kenny desides to take the law into his own hands and supes up his pickup truck with all kinds of James Bond-like goodies. Eventually, his unique Ken Wahl brand of vigilante justice leads to him becoming a local hero. Much to the chagrin of the lazy, good-for-nothing cops. Pretty good 80's fare!

Interesting coincidence: Ken Wahl's last name is also a brand of hair clippers... Kinda ironic if you remember what Ken Wahl looked like... [Wink]

I don't remember the movie, but I do remember Ken Wahl, didn't he marry one of those twins that were suppose to look like a Barbie doll?

I remember him from the movie...
