Turk 182!
Finally got round to seeing this – not great, but enjoyable. It’s by Bob Porky’s Clark, but don’t let that dissuade you; Timothy Hutton is a mouthy New Yorker fighting city bureaucrats on behalf of his firefighter brother Robert Urich, injured whilst off-duty and so not covered. After petitions and meetings get him nowhere, he goes rogue and declares war on the Mayor (Robert Culp) with increasingly brazen graffiti messages.
Likeable supporting cast (Kim Cattrall, Peter Boyle, Darren McGavin), some amusing scenes, and of course the memorable slogan ‘Zimmerman flew/Tyler knew/Turk 182!’
