Recap
Hammer is jogging in the park when a model plane pursues him. He ducks for cover and then shoots it down. Two nearby women are disappointed that he's shot down their remote-control plane. A familiar looking bald Englishman walks by, and Hammer gets back on track with his jogging. He crosses the road and a limousine almost runs him over. The driver apologizes when he realizes Hammer is an officer. A man inside makes a break for it and his captors say they need him alive so they'll find him later...Read the full recap

Cultural References
The opening sequence parodies North by Northwest (1959), where Cary Grant is chased by a crop duster. Directed by Alfred Hitchcock, who makes a cameo as a frustrated would-be bus passenger much as a lookalike does here.
