Differences From TV Series
In the original TV series, the role of Hondo was played by white actor Steve Forrest, who made a cameo appearance at the end of the film as the S.W.A.T. transport driver. T.J. McCabe is one of the antagonists, whereas in the TV series, he always worked for the team.
The film also changes the S.W.A.T. team in several important ways:
- In the TV series, Deke is second-in-command to Hondo; whereas in the film he is at the same level as the others.
- In the film there is a female member of the team, Sánchez; in the TV series it was an all-male team.
- The TV series had only five members on the team, whereas the film introduced a sixth;
- Boxer was not in the TV series and the film left out Luca.
