The Competition (KCOP tonight at 8) is a sleek but slight and contrived drama starring Richard Dreyfuss and Amy Irving as pianists who fall in love while competing for a top prize. It’s bolstered, fortunately, by the stars’ solid performances.

Young Doctors in Love (KTLA Monday at 8 p.m.) is a freewheeling, gleefully raunchy 1982 comedy that’s closer to “Porky’s” than to “The Hospital” and which marks the feature directorial debut of TV veteran Garry Marshall.

Death Wish 3 (KTLA Wednesday at 8 p.m.) found the Charles Bronson vigilante series running out of gas, but at least in the 1987 Death Wish 4: The Crackdown (KTLA Thursday at 8 p.m.) director J. Lee Thompson turned a plot of stunning simple-mindedness into an efficient, fast-moving, hard-action, good-looking comic-book fantasy, the only way to go.

The Terminator (KCOP Thursday at 8 p.m.) is a stylish, ultra-gory and ultimately empty science-fiction adventure starring Arnold Schwarzenegger in the title role as a huge, deadly cyborg who has been transported from the future to stalk an unlikely prey, a scatterbrained waitress (Linda Hamilton). Directed by James Cameron, this 1984 box-office hit is ultimately as cynical and exploitative as it is dynamic and inventive.

Crocodile Dundee II (CBS Saturday at 8 p.m.) is almost as much fun the second time around. As an adventure it’s nothing special, yet it again shows to advantage the tremendously likable Paul Hogan, who this time around must rescue his journalist girlfriend (again Linda Kozlowski) from a Colombian drug kingpin.

The Good, the Bad and the Ugly (KCOP Saturday at 8 p.m.), the bravura but bloody 1967 Sergio Leone spaghetti Western (and the final film in his “Dollars” trilogy), stars Clint Eastwood, Eli Wallach and Lee Van Cleef in the title roles, vying for $200,000 in Confederate gold.

Mischievously, KCET has paired Woody Allen’s only so-so 1982 A Midsummer Night’s Sex Comedy (Saturday at 9 p.m.) with the superb, bittersweet 1956 Smiles of a Summer Night (Saturday at 10:30 p.m.) that inspired it.
