UnowPriceless hyped garbage

Stevecorp Don't listen to the negative reviews

Gary The movie's not perfect, but it sticks the landing of its message. It was engaging - thrilling at times - and I personally thought it was a great time.

Janis One of the most extraordinary films you will see this year. Take that as you want.

Eightiesseeker When the series first aired I missed it. I thought it's another show with a super-car packed with electronics which can talk or do amazing things. I was thinking about "yet another" Knight Rider or Street Hawk and dismissed it.Only as I recently saw someone on Youtube showing lots of intros to 1980s shows loved by us kids, Stingray was mentioned too. I was first hooked by the music. That could have been straight out of Miami Vice with Jan Hammer playing the keyboard. But it were the legendary Mike Post, Pete Carpenter, and Walter Murphy.I got the DVDs and could enjoy the short lived Stingray series. "Ray" as most people called him was untouchable and almost always under full control of any situation. Even when it seemed like he fell for a scam or was betrayed he always comes out on top every time. He vanishes like he appeared. Silently and without a trace.Although when in my opinion the quality went down a little when shooting moved to Canada for the second season it should had deserved a third.I miss shows like that today.

Ken Kirkham One of the "Wandering Hero" shows, "Stingray" had elements that made it truly unique and special. True the hero had the traditional skill set (combat expert, demolitions, etc.) and he traveled the country helping people, but the details of this show gave it a very unique "flavor". There was no (obvious) "fugitive-factor" (ie the A-team, the Pretender, etc), in fact, it seemed as if the main character (known simply as Ray) had semi-legitimate government connections. He traveled the country in a classic car helping people. His price: a favor. This was where the show really differed, because there would be people that he had helped before doing their favors in payment, which provided his resources.Unlike most of the action shows of the '80s, Stingray did not feature constant "big battles", although there were some, it was the character and his way of solving problems that made it really special. Kind of a cross between John Wayne, James bond, and a little of MacGyver. It's a show that would do well if redone.

joe-fetters As a previous commenter stated I'd agree with the following:Better than other shows of that era: A-team, Knight Rider, etc. Deeper plots and better characters. - The original pretender. The main character, Ray, took on the 'role' of a character and would try to fix wrongs. One particular show (if memory recalls correctly) he became a surgeon...pretty good stuff.Was disappointed when it was canceled, would have like to see a few more seasons but we know how the 80's were.....shallow characters (somewhat kidding here....don't let the flame-wars begin).Good day all.

Benvolio "Stingray" was one of my favourite TV shows when I was a teenager. Ray was a cool guy, never taking money for his services, only asking favours. And of course he drove that fabulous Corvette Stingray, which still ranks as one of my favourite cars.
