Skip Tracer (1977)
6/10
Hollywood Suite in Canada (70s) has The Skip Tracer
25 November 2022
Hollywood Suite in Canada (On Demand subscription service available from Telus) has recently added this film to their 1970s library. It's a fun watch to see Vancouver landmarks from the late '70 in the late decade before a development boom for the City of Vancouver. Low budget made-for-TV feel. I'd never heard of this Canadian production until I stumbled across it on Hollywood Suite as of November 2022. Synopsis says, "An accomplished repo man from Vancouver takes a new hire under his wing, while their morals and limits are tested on the job." Date says 1977 and stars John Lazarus and David Petersen. Runtime is 1 hr 34 mins.

TPB Fans Will Be Happy With The Movie
29 September 2006
I saw it today at a screening here in Victoria, BC Any hard-care TPB fan will be happy with the translation to the Big Screen. No contrived "fish out of water" plot-lines or cameos by unlikely big Hollywood stars.

The budget was spent on a few car crashes, and that's about it. Viewers outside of Canada or not-too-familiar with the characters will be able to follow the characters.

Plenty of dope-selling talk, liquor and whores: the staple of life in Sunnyvale.

Die-hard fans of the show will be able to spot recurring characters and actors from previous episodes.
