Henry Mancini: Streets of San Francisco Theme

Schwarzenegger in San Francisco

I saw this back in the 1970s. Clip above.

Recently, I was explaining to someone what I remember of it:

‘So there was this Streets of San Francisco episode where Ahnold appears playing a bodybuilder with anger management issues.

‘Basically, if someone makes fun of him, he gets angry, screams a bit and then kills them with his great strength.

‘So Karl Malden and Michael Douglas-replacement Richard Hatch end up following Ahnold’s murder spree thru San Francisco as people keep making him more and more angry. And he keeps freaking out, shouting and killing.

‘It was one of the weirdest things I think I’ve ever seen on tee vee.’
