1985 Stingray Made for TV Movie Premiere

In 1986, I was 24 years old and one of my favorite TV shows was on NBC, called "Stingray" starring Nick Mancuso. My buddy told me all about the premiere made for TV movie that aired in the summer of 1985...So, here it is, recreated for your viewing pleasure: The NBC Movie of the Week which aired on July 14, 1985. Written and produced by Stephen J. Cannell; Directed by Richard Colla. An attractive district attorney asks Ray for help in dealing with a Mexican crime lord responsible for kidnapping and brainwashing several prominent people. Ray manages to infiltrate the drug lord's operation by posing as a rich Texan. Unfortunately, his cover is blown and he is subjected to the same mental-retardation process as the drug lord's other victims; Ray manages to resist the technique by focusing on similar tortures he underwent as a POW in Vietnam. In the end, Ray uses the drug lord's own gold-plated car to crush him before he can make his escape to international waters, and then Ray disappears as mysteriously as he came, leaving D.A. Delgado to wonder who he really was.
