Line 22:
* [[Fan Service]]: Every episode of the 1980's series contained the "Hammer-ettes", busty women in low tops and push-up bras emphasizing their ample cleavage, who'd exchange a [[Double Entendre]] or two with Stacy Keach.
* [[Fatal Attraction]]: {{spoiler|In "I, the Jury" Charlotte Bennett, the woman Hammer had fallen in love with and planned to marry, turned out to be the killer.}} This is probably the case that turned him from an ordinary [[Private Detective]] into the dispenser of brutal justice we all know and love.
* [[Friend
* [[Gentlemen Prefer Blondes]]: Hammer's [[Girl of the Week]] is inevitably blonde; interestingly however his [[UST]] [[Love Interest]] Velda has dark hair.
* [[Girl Friday]]: Velda is Hammer's [[Sexy Secretary]], but she has her own investigator's license and uses a gun on a couple of occasions too.
Line 31:
* [[My Girl Is Not a Slut]]: Mike Hammer can screw around as much as he likes; Velda will still be there for him.
* [[Mysterious Woman]]: In the Stacy Keach series, Mike Hammer would repeatedly catch sight of the same beautiful woman (played by Donna Denton) who would then [[Stealth Hi Bye|vanish before he had a chance to talk to her]].
* [[Needle in
* [[Obstructive Bureaucrat]]: The D.A. (named Lawrence D. Barrington in the Stacy Keach series) can't stand Hammer, and is always eager for a chance to lock him up.
* [[Police Are Useless]]: Averted. Mike Hammer is generally supportive of the police, regarding them as simply hamstrung by the law. Dilwick in "The Twisted Thing" is a notable exception, though he's no [[Inspector Lestrade]], merely a [[Dirty Cop]].
