Vince Vaughn, Fred Williamson and the ever-popular Snoop Dogg are supporting actors in the PG-13 film. The original show starred David Soul (Hutch) and Paul Michael Glaser (Starsky) as under cover detectives taking down bur glars, murderers, rapists, drug dealers arid the like, but not always following the letter of the law. Their chemistry was paralleled by Stiller (Starsky) and Wilson (Hutch) in the remake, although the new version took on a gang ster crime theme in the comedy and action/adventure genres. Snoop Dogg played Huggy Bear, the consistent street informer whose real name is never revealed. And how is ft that Vaughn always ends up with the blow-away performance gs the vil lain?
