Sledge Hammer!/Awesome

Everything About Fiction You Never Wanted to Know.


  • Sledge Hammer! had its Crowning Moment of Awesome in the first episode; in fact, within the first five minutes. Sledge, upon arriving at a scene where there's a sniper on a roof, asks if the building's been evacuated and then gets a rocket launcher and blows up the entire building. Refuge in Audacity indeed. Five minutes after that, there's another Crowning Moment of Awesome where Sledge makes a criminal beat himself up.
  • Sledge taking the interrogation subject to "the Carnival". Sledge takes the guy (who is in his underwear, having been plucked from a sleazy motel) and stands him up against a giant bulls-eye, with a balloon at his hands, feet, and head. Sledge then proceeds to ask questions, shooting a balloon every time the subject denies knowledge. Sledge takes tougher and tougher shots, including shooting behind his back, aiming with a mirror. For the final balloon, Sledge blindfolds himself, and comments "I always miss this shot." The punk hysterically screams the answer, and ducks as the balloon pops. Dori comments that Sledge hit the balloon. Sledge: "Yeah. I always miss that shot."
