- For the TV series, see Starsky and Hutch.
Template:Infobox Film Starsky & Hutch is a 2004 American comedy/action film directed by Todd Phillips. The film stars Ben Stiller as David Starsky and Owen Wilson as Ken "Hutch" Hutchinson and is a spoof remake of the original Starsky and Hutch television series from the 1970s.
Two streetwise plainclothes policemen, driving in a 1975 Ford Torino, bust criminals with the help of underworld player, Huggy Bear. The movie functions as a sort of prequel to the TV series, as it portrays when Starsky was first partnered with Hutchinson.
According to the final credits, the movie was dedicated to the stills photographer Elliott Marks (1941–2003).
The movie also switches the personalities of the title characters. While in the TV show, Starsky was curious, laid-back, and streetwise, and Hutch was very serious and by-the-book. In the movie, Starsky is the serious cop, and Hutch is laid-back.
