''[[Human Target]]'' is the story of Christopher Chance, a bodyguard and private detective for hire who impersonates his clients in order to draw out whoever is threatening them and 'eliminate' them. It has its roots as a comic book, and has been adapted as a TV series twice: once in Summer of 1992 on [[American Broadcasting Company|ABC]], and another that premiered in January 2010 on [[FOX]].
The 2010 series was cancelled after two seasons.

* [[The Other Marty]]: The pilot was originally filmed in 1990 and costarred Clarence Clemons and Frances Fisher. By the time the show was picked up, both of their roles were recast and their scenes reshot.
* [[Action Girl]]: Ames is suppose to be one but currently she's on a fast track into [[Faux Action Girl]] territory; perhaps justified in that she has a background as a thief. {{spoiler|Ilsa, on the other hand is, judging by the fight she puts up in "Communications Breakdown" most definitely an [[Action Girl]]... though given that she lacks even the rough and tumble past of Ames, being an [[Action Girl]] means a [[Heroic BSOD]] since she's forced to kill someone and most of the fight is less her fighting and more her basically being unwilling to be killed quietly.}}
* [[Actor Allusion]]:
Line 121 ⟶ 122:
** Because, unlike Guerrero, she's willing to take a check. Nevertheless, being that she was a notable thief before joining the team, paying taxes was probably something she conveniently forgot to do.
* [[Heroic Sociopath]]: Guerrero, though he's not so much heroic as he is loyal to Chance.
* [[Hey, It's That Guy!]]: Way, way, way too many to actually list. Let's just say that if you've ever seen ''any'' episodes of [[Battlestar Galactica
* [[Hidden Depths]]: Guerrero is a big fan of opera. Big enough that when he misses a show in "Imbroglio", he's ready to dish out pain with as much grumpiness as when, say, 'retrieving' information from an uncooperative captive. {{spoiler|He's also initially smitten with Ilsa's sister-in-law despite the rather obvious differences between the two of them; credit to Jackie Earle Haley for slipping in just the slightest bit of excitement over getting to join Ilsa and her sister to the opera as well as just the slightest bit of politeness to her compared to the way he normally talks to people. And then he goes and gets a date to Venice with her...}}
* [[Hidden Villain]]: The man known so far only as "Chance's old boss".
