Incannerax What a waste of my time!!!

Glucedee It's hard to see any effort in the film. There's no comedy to speak of, no real drama and, worst of all.

Jenna Walter The film may be flawed, but its message is not.

Erica Derrick By the time the dramatic fireworks start popping off, each one feels earned.

starhorsepax The only bad thing about this is that it changed so drastically the next season. In spite of this being listed separate from the later seasons, it has the same car and characters (although Joe and Julian didn't return until season 4.) But this first one was the best and most unique. While I loved Westlake being added in later seasons, I'm sorry the show in later seasons lost the 'rogue' edge it had and that so many characters vanished. I liked the way it was developing and always felt Joe was (as Frankie put it) part of the Defender. Just as the car went from ordinary Viper to Defender, Joe was a guy from the wild side that no one would've suspected had a 'defender' mode. I liked how the team had their independence but were gradually gradually able to work with the law but not UNDER anyone's authority. I am really thrilled its finally on DVD. It had a nice mix of sci fi, mystery, action and...that rogue element that just made it unique. Shame on NBC for letting it go!

richardmazepa In the future when the police are out gunned, out manned and out run, there's one last hope . . . VIPER. A high tech futuristic crime fighting vehicle with extraordinary weapons, the VIPER has an array of hidden weapons and also has some nifty tools to help solve that crime problem. The driver Joe Astor was a reformed criminal, originally named "Michael Payton," he was attached to a gang known as "the outfit". The creator of this illustrious crime fighting vehicle is a paralyzed man named Julian Wilkes. Having trouble finding a driver Wilkes found out that a man accepted the position as the VIPER's Co-Pilot. Astor got cocky one night and jumped a curb and kissed a wall. Later became the driver of the VIPER.

vipertv The Year 2000 is almost upon us, the war against crime has become a losing battle. When criminals are better armed and financed then the police. An underworld kubal called 'The Outfit' pillages the city for profit, and takes control of the urban streets. But now... To fight the rising tide of crime, a new weapon has been developed. The ultimate vehicle for police pursuit and capture. Only one thing is missing... the driver who can tame it's awesome capabilities. Catch the action. Catch the excitement. Catch the ultimate ride. "Viper"

TheSainT-18 In the day after tomorrow, the Metrocity became the playground of the criminals. Against that threat, Engineer Julian Wilks created the ultimate police pursuit machine, a Dodge Viper which could morph into a vehicle called 'Defender'. One thing was missing...The driver which could handle Defender's enormous skills. The best driver of the bad guys, Michael Payton, had an accident. He was recovered from death by MetroCity Police, his criminal identity was erased and he became Joseph 'Joe' Astor, a policeman, expert for pursuit. Good Show! Great Effects and good character development!
