Come Die with Me: A Mickey Spillane's Mike Hammer Mystery

while it's in fact ... Velda! But that's the problem with hard hearing people, we can't catch names...

Anyway, from what I remember with Stacy Keach, Mike Hammer is an hard-boiled noir detective while here the mood is funny and located in sunny Miami. In spite of a cool cast, there is nothing exceptional here as it has been done over and over better but i concede that the idea is rather original to hire a detective to find a criminal hidden by a witness program... For one time, Pam shows her gray matter and deductive skills and she has a worthy partner in Babeness with Randi Ingerman ...

As a long time Mike Hammer fan (books, films, TV shows) it is great to see a Mike Hammer who really can turn heads in the street. The concept of an aging Stacy Keach as incredibly sexy was about as credible as James T Kirk the love interest. Pamela Anderson is equally great as Velda and the Miami locations are spectacular.

The only faults I could find for this movie are the absolutely predictable plot (always a Mike Hammer short coming) and the enormous number of scantily clad babes and lame jokes about "jugs" etc.

Why did nobody ever turn this into a series?
