Action Stars from TV ?

Take a look at this old photo from 1973.



Doesn't it remind you a little of a popular TV series that we used to watch in the 70's ... (and which also got revived in a recent movie)  ?

Do you know which one I'm referring to ?

Cast your mind back to popular TV series from those days - the one with two guys and a car ... a cop series ... lots of action ... lots of shootouts ... lots of car chases ...

Yes, I'm referring of course to Starsky and Hutch ...

Here's the original with David Soul and Paul Michael Glaser ...





Or even the new 2004 movie with Ben Stiller and Owen Wilson ...




Now turn up your computer volume and enjoy this short video clip, which is bound to bring back memories ...






So John & Jensen, which one of you is Starsky and which Hutch ?

  4. Is that a Datsun 120Y? That was a classy car. And a classy pair of blokes.

  5. Look at how Jensen had his shirt knotted at the stomach area. Priceless.

  6. Maybe the shirt knotted at the stomach should be part of the uniform for the Reunion evening ... hahaha

  9. One of them should be blond hair ler. Yeap! that's a Datsun 120Y alright, very popular in those days. Is Jensen wearing bell bottom pants?

  10. Ya, looks like it, LMS. And he might wear it again next week to the Reunion too. So cool. So retro.

  11. Don't think Jensen can still put on that pants anymore, his body size has grown for the past 30 over years, maybe he'll go and tailor a new pair. I'll ask him.

  13. Hi....WJ

    Thanks for the exposure and the kind reference to Starsky and Hutch...hahahahaha. Jensen would have to be Starsky (he's shorter and his hair was a bit curly at the time) and me as the dark haired Hutch and all we need now is someone to be Huggy Bear to complete the set, looks like Dato AM meets the criteria...from old photos - you had the "affro" hair style....lol. No offence intended.

    Hey guys, make sure you ask Jensen to have a look at this photo (I am sure he could recall a few of the antics that he got up to during those days) instead of spending a lot of time on the internet on other things - you would have to rib him on what he does when he's on it.

    Btw, I thought St Michael's canteen was pulled down, is there a new one. WJ did mentioned about the new one?. If you guys do go there, have a nice iced kachang from me - I recalled, that we sometimes made our own drinks and pay of course at St Mike's and enjoyed the prawn or tow hu fritters and went on to the museum grounds on our way home - especially on the swings or "monkeying" on the metal frames.

    Happy memories.

  14. You mean NKT isn't logging on?

    ReplyDelete
  15. JNKT is still trying his very best learning how to login etc, etc with the computer. Never touch it before cos all this while he has his secretary to do every posting and logins for him mah. Just recently bought himself a laptop to 'play' with so he should login anytime soon. I think there are still some others who do not know how to enter and login our blog, correct me if I'm wrong.
