Murder Can Hurt You (also stylized as Murder Can Hurt You!) is a 1980 ABC television movie that parodies detective and police TV shows of the 1960s and 1970s, much like the way Murder by Death spoofed literary detectives.[1] The film was directed by Roger Duchowny.[2]

Plot
A mysterious "Man in White" is out to kill famous detectives in bizarre ways, and the heroes are obvious parodies of Kojak, Baretta, Starsky and Hutch, Ironside, Police Woman, Columbo, Mrs. Columbo, and McCloud.[1]
