I did not remember that at all so checked the ol' Wiki and found out it was called "Sweating Bullets" in the US but still no memory of it, but it did run for 3 seasons!

No memory of it at all. 3 seasons is crazy! Was it one of those light action based shows on UPN or whatever Hercules and Xena were on? They even had a brief Smokey and the Bandit show, with Bandit in a Stealth R/T Turbo. That show looks like it had that kind of vibe.
I recognized the one guy there, minus the ponytail, from SyFy tv shows recently and sometimes in the past.
He's got short gray/black hair now, he was on Dark Matter and a recurring spot on Killjoys.

It was on German TV in the mid-90's, wasn't even that bad considering the era. smile

I've never heard of this show. Was it ever shown on a U.S. network?

And even a Lorenzo Lamas look-a-like thrown in.

Just looked at the cast list for the show and I don't recognize a single name.

Apparently this was a Canadian show. Maybe our Canadian members are too embarrassed to admit remembering that show? biggrin seehearspeak

OMG! The actor's name was Bland??? Too on the nose! biggrin

Interesting footnote, the last guy in that cast list. He was the son of the also-named Pedro Armendriz, who played Kerim Bey in From Russia with Love and was dying of terminal cancer while filming, only to take his own life after filming was complete to end his pain.
The son was also in a Bond film, License to Kill, playing a South American dictator two years before he was in this series.

Yeah, sad story surrounding Pedro Armendariz Sr. He along with several other cast members got cancer while filming "The Conqueror" due to the fact that the shooting location was downwind from a major US nuclear test site.
