Dragnet is to be released on Blu-ray and only Dan Aykroyd and double Oscar winner Tom Hanks can save the city in this hilarious box-office blockbuster that pays homage to the famed original police radio and TV dramas of the 50’s and 60’s.
Dragnet is directed by Tom Mankiewicz (Diamonds Are Forever, Live and Let Die) and written by Dan Aykroyd and Alan Zweibel.
Tom Hanks still knows the “City of Crime” rap song off by heart which he recorded with Dan Aykroyd to promote the film. It was played constantly on MTV throughout the summer of 1987 and Hanks broke in to the rap on The Graham Norton Show back in November.
Aykroyd plays Joe Friday, nephew of the original series star of the same name. He had always been a huge fan of the 1951 Dragnet series, giving many of his previous characters the ability to recite technical jargon in the same way that Joe Friday recites laws and police procedures; such as when Elwood describes the specifications of the “Bluesmobile” in The Blues Brothers.
Aykroyd originally wanted his The Blues Brothers co-star Jim Belushi to play opposite him, but he was unavailable and Tom Hanks was cast instead. Streebeck’s TV watch was real. SEIKO invented it in 1983. It had a black-and-white display and a separate battery pack/tuner about the size of a Walkman.
