This affectionate, full-throttle cinematic remake of the 1970s US cop TV series roared on to our screens in thick clouds of burning rubber in 2004. While it seemed impossible that David Starsky and Ken Hutchinson could be played by anyone other than Paul Michael Glaser and David Soul in the original, surprisingly Ben Stiller and Owen Wilson (pictured) do a sterling job here, so much so that after 20 minutes or so, you're hooked and willing the pair on. Sure at times it's a spoof, but the original never took itself very seriously either, so it's never a problem.

The tale is pretty standard S&H fare; the two San Francisco cops suspect that an outwardly-legitimate businessman is secretly involved in drug-running and murder. Assisted by Huggy Bear (their street informer, effortlessly played by Snoop Dogg) they plan an undercover sting to entrap the crime lord and his gang. Great fun.
