Let's have some fun: Things I learned watching Force 7


1. When dangerous classified military equipment is stolen, call the LAPD. Forget about army CID or the FBI.

2. It's OK to arrest someone for DUI because they look like they are drunk. That finger to nose stuff is for rookies.

3. An air-to-air missile that must be guided by a not present external radar is a great threat to the city.

4. A criminal mastermind will always go after the big money of the City of Los Angeles. Forget about the USA.

5. If you are a multi-level martial artist, you can lack the discipline to follow standard police procedure.

6. If you can't follow standard police procedure, then you're qualified for a highly disciplined martial arts unit.

7. Cops with only one eye are used for field work involving dangerous military weapons.

8. When you go on a difficult mission, pack your puppet. You never know when you'll need a diversion.

9. As in all criminal mastermind shows, the overweight mastermind's fighting skills are far greater than his younger and more physically fit subordinates.

10. Martial arts robes with a custom logo and reversible ninja jackets and skirts are cool. I have no idea why they were not an 80's fashion trend.

11. Always bring a stick or a fist/foot to a gunfight.

12. Even though there are bad guys with machine pistols all around the missile, taking them out two at a time will prevent any of them from firing their weapons at you.

13. Fred Dryer looks a lot different when he is being thrown forward after an explosion.

14. I finally found out what a police revolver looks like after watching CHiPs.

15. LeGarre with only one eye can tell within seconds where something is located using celestial navigation based upon a low-resolution video.

16. If you are going to dose a guard dog, it will stand still and just growl at you until you dose it. After doing so, it will not come up to play with you but only to its handler.

17. Highly paid government engineers drive crappy Ford Granadas.

18. In 1982, CHP traffic officers were routinely briefed when military hardware such as a missile was stolen.

19. It's possible to co-star in arguably the worst CHiPs episode ever and come back the following season as a series regular.

20. Clandestine buildings such as the LAPD Force 7 building never have their doors locked.

Dean: I am wearing sunglasses at night. You know who does that? No-talent douche bags!

21. If you need giant crates moved, call Fred Dryer and the Italian guy.

22. If your factory was infiltrated by ninjas earlier in the day, feel free to enjoy a night of poker in the back room with your fellow goons.

23. Only one ninja star per belt buckle, so you better make that *beep* count.
