Action scenes include wild car chases, explosions, shootings and a few fisticuffs, but there’s no gore, although a drug lord shoots a gang member point blank. The film’s greatest crime is its attempt to portray as comical things that aren’t funny: a young boy throwing kitchen knives at police and stabbing them in the back and legs, suggestive moves by Starsky turning on a perverted inmate (Will Ferrell), and a lighthearted and humorous use of drugs. There is also same-sex kissing and much crude humor, including many obscenities and several profanities. Drugs, sex and foul language are used to entertain, causing Dove to not be able to award the Dove Seal to Starsky and Hutch .
