Very very predictable, including the post credit scene !!!

So much average

hyped garbage

Let me be very fair here, this is not the best movie in my opinion. But, this movie is fun, it has purpose and is very enjoyable to watch.

Night Heat is a police drama, but as the title suggests it takes place at night. Kevin is a veteran police detective and Frank is the good looking tough guy, but he's a softy at heart. Tommy is a reporter for "The Eagle" who writes about these super cops.The show follows a formula, at the beginning we here a voice over from Tommy describing what just happened with a social comment, Frank and Kevin look for clues, they stop at Nichole's, and they usually solve the crime. Standard formula right? What sells me are the characters. All of them are likable, and they look real, not your typical Hollywood beautiful tough cops. The all were human like Tommy is a recovering alcoholic and drinks milk at the bar. Nichole is the widow of Kevin's former partner who was killed in front of Kevin and they formed a relationship. The supporting cast are great too. Lt. Hogan is the crusty veteran who seen it all, and Colby is the tough street smart guy and is paired with Freddy who is the sensitive guy.I had no idea this was filmed in Canada for the longest time, (not that it makes any difference) but maybe that's why this show was so good. It was edgy, gritty, and a little raw for the time. Don't forget this was the 80s and this was a time when American television was really becoming sanitized.So, at this point it's been a while since I have seen them, but I am going to hunt them down. Believe me this show is so good I might go out and buy me a blue K-Car!

I Feel the Niiiiiight Heat! I feel your HEEAAAAAAAAAART-beat! Something ain't right!" Theme song written by B.J. Cook from Skylark- David Foster's old band and wife. She also wrote the memorable theme from CBC's "Airwaves." OH Night Heat! What a program! Well-written, well-acted and totally classic. Crime solvers and a good team and a dash of humour at the end. I'd like to think this is really what detectives do/did. Giambone was a real favourite! On a Canadian tip, I learned EVERY Canadian actor's name and style from guest spots done on Night Heat. Everyone passed through the Night Heat set and like Law & Order, it was story-driven so you could just watch and enjoy without a lot of character melodrama.

I remember staying up late every week night to watch this wonderful show that no one knew about. I was in college at the time and used up a lot of valuable study time. Action, drama and a little romance - greatest detective show since Kojak! The actors in the show, I assume, were Canadian but every once in awhile I would see one of them in something else("Three Men and a Baby", "Spenser: For Hire") and I would have a flashback to all of those wonderful late-night adventures. Unfortunately I did not own a VCR at the time so I do not have it on tape and it hasn't been on since the '80s. Put it on DVD!!! Please!!!

I used to enjoy watching this show. Since this was on CBS Late Night and through the years it was on, due to work or college, I wasn't able to watch it when it was on. Thank goodness for VCRs!!! Otherwise I would've missed out on a great show.It featured a great cast was great with Scott Hylands, Jeff Wincott, Sean McCann, Deborah Grover and Susan Hogan. Stephen Mendel as Detective Freddie Carson and Eugene Clark as Detective Colby Burns were the perfect comic relief. Both had great chemistry together and played off each other well. In addition, Tony Rosato as "Whitey" was hilarious as well playing Detective O'Brien and Giambone's "stoolie". I used to love the one liners "Whitey" would lob at both O'Brien and Giambione like, "Hey Giambonie, you need to lighten up on the hairspray", or "you two need to wear more pastels and you can look like those guys on Miami Vice" as they left him when they got the information they needed. Clark Johnson as Detective Dave Jefferson was both sleazy and funny at the same time, not always telling "O.B." and Giambone what they needed to know when Vice ended up getting linked to their cases, but in the end, they got it, but had to work for it.In some of their episodes, you'll find guest appearances from Danny Aiello and from future stars like Keanu Reeves. I best remember him (Reeves) as the stoner punk villain. He played the role well.Back in the late summer of 1987, CBS used this show as a summer replacement for a month at the 10 o'clock time slot on a Tuesday night. It did well in the Neilsens, but CBS chose to keep this on their Late Night lineup.Sometimes, I pull one of these tapes out, blow off the dust and put it in my vcr. It was a great show.I still have the shows on tape and have blown the dust off and popped them in the VCR. I still enjoy the show.
