SWITCHBLADE

description

Want to be a part of the Greatest Irish TV Show EVER? Switchblade is a kick-ass thrill-ride influenced by the best (and more especially the worst!) of classic Eighties TV cop shows. It's an off-beat, rapid-fire, FX-busy retro-tastic action-comedy with crazy action sequences, whip-smart one-liners and killer cliffhangers aplenty. If Tango And Cash took a Knight Ride with TJ Hooker down 21 Jump Street, they'd have their asses handed to them by Team Switchblade.

A BRIEF TASTER
Our 40 second promo gives a brief flavour of Switchblade. But trust us - the best is yet to come!
