"Let's not forget Mia and her sister Prudence made dubious accusations of rape against the Maharishi Mahesh Yogi, famously causing a rift between the Beatles and the Indian guru."
I'm pretty sure Alexis Mardas had a pretty big hand in this.
NERDS PUMMELED IN FOOTBALL MELEE
Jefferson was a great character - I love the way he would nod with a shit-eating grin when Al insults Marcy - but, ehh, I still like Steve better. He was an important part of the show in its original conception. For the first couple of seasons, Kelly and Bud weren't really major characters, and the show's main arc was…
"We have a loyalty to the Shredder!"
A Møøse once bit my sister…
Don't forget the cynical wit of Elias Koteas. Another reason why the first TMNT film still holds up today.
She did the choreography on The Muppets Take Manhattan and Labyrinth (and appeared briefly in the former), so she's clearly TNG's most Muppet-affiliated cast member. (I think Patrick Stewart once guested on Muppets Tonight!, so he'd be second.)
"I'm not really a cab driver, I'm just waiting for something better to come along. You know, like death…"
Sounds like it's less amusing than the Fleming TV movie starring Jason Connery, which at least had David Warner as the boss, Joss Acland as the bad guy, and an ending that rips off On Her Majesty's Secret Service.
Stephen McHattie is primo Random Roles material. This is the guy who played Nite Owl I, the grown-up Rosemary's Baby, Elaine Benes' creepy psychiatrist, and gangster who gets shot in the face by Viggo Mortensen, and he even managed to maintain his dignity in Beverly Hills Cop III. Plus, I think he is or was married to…
It's cool that David Rasche's become visible in more recent years with appearances in stuff like Burn After Reading, In the Loop and Veep.
I love it when the gun talks back to Sledge in the "They Call Me MR. Trunk!" episode, the one where the entire precinct is poisoned by that lethal hallucinogen.
I think Danny Peary was spot on (in Cult Movies III) when he wrote that the film's biggest problem is that it's supposed to be a throwback to the slapstick era, yet it was cast mainly with comedians famous for TV/stand-up (i.e. non-physical comedians).
When I watched Sledge Hammer! during its original run, I was too young and stupid to realise it was a comedy (although I laughed at the fat guy serving gruel with his hands in the prison episode). It wasn't until I caught the show again in the late 1990s that I realised how frigging hilarious it is. And man was I…
Sledge Hammer! holds up quite well. I think that the only episodes that don't work are the ones in which Hammer acts against his character (the Vertigo parody, the one in which Hammer becomes a P.I. and hangs out with Bogart's ghost, the Elvis episode, etc). But overall, the series is great. And although it started…
Colonel Flagg was also the 4077's last lingering trace of testosterone.
To hell with all the movie spin-offs and revivals and remakes. Get Smart's most worthy successor was Sledge Hammer! (Maxwell Smart = Sledge Hammer, 99 = Dori Doreau, The Chief = Captain Trunk).
So…
I don't want him to transform into Robert Doqui's character in the RoboCop movies, because Robert Doqui's character in the RoboCop movies didn't get killed.
