Trivia
'The Human Target' comic book series was co-created by Len Wein and Carmine Infantino. See more »Goofs
When Christopher parachutes out of the back of the train, he is shown to be moving in the opposite direction of the train and slide back towards the tunnel entrance. The parachute would have slowed him down very quickly, but not instantly taken him from 200 mph in one direction to 10 mph in the other. See more »Quotes

This show is mildly amusing, just for the cliché after cliché storyline. A protagonist who can do everything (James Bond, pre-Daniel Craig, would be jealous); air ducts large enough to crawl through and fight in (and they're on a train!); and the ever-popular time bomb plot ("We've got to get off this train before it crashes!").
SPOILER: Superman, uh, "Christopher Chance", engages in a shoot-out with an assassin, escapes, then follows the assassin and prepares to shoot him. But *click*! He's out of ammunition! Yes, Mister Perfect was too stupid to check his weapon, and reload after he'd sprayed the area with lead.
Summary: "Human Target" is like Domino's Pizza: it's television of the last resort.
