Raf saved Martha. He's up. George

This movie was based on episodes of a famous TV show. Three episodes of the show were slightly modified; a fourth segment of the movie touched briefly on another episode. References to several other episodes are strewn throughout. Three actors (an adult and two children) were killed in an accident on the set. The children were actually under-age and acting without the proper permits. Their scene was removed from the movie and they do not appear in the credits. The accident had a strong effect on the directors. It ended the friendship of wo of them, who had collaborated on a number of well-known films. As the adult was waiting to film what would turn out to be the scene that killed him, he said to a production assistant, "I must be out of my mind to be doing this. I should've asked for a stunt double. What can they do but kill me, right?!" In the opening sequence, two actors discuss an episode of the show the movie is based on. One said it was from the correct show, the other asserted that it was from a similar series which ran about the same time. George

This is a pre-1970 TV show (just to narrow the field a bit). As the two main actors were essentially co-stars, the show had two sets of opening credits, one with one actor listed first, one with the other. The choice of which one to use seems rather random, not indicating which actor had a larger role in the episode. Although Pierre Jalbert had been employed at MGM for nearly a decade, he had no actual acting experience prior to being cast in a supporting role on the series. Up to that time his job at MGM had been in the capacity of a technician in the film editing department. A feature-film adaptation of the series was planned, with Bruce Willis in the lead as the lead, but the film never materialized. One of the stars died in 1982, in a helicopter crash during filming of a movie based on another famous TV series. The lead characters were almost always called by their last names and almost never called by their first names, though one was "Chip" and the other, "Gil." "Chip" was obviously a nickname, but no other first name (e.g., Charles) was mentioned. A typical "pep talk" from the show: "All right, just knock it off. YOU KNOCK IT OFF! You people make me sick. Go on, look at yourselves. You call yourselves a squad? You're a bunch of GOOF-UPS! Littlejohn, you cause nothing but trouble! You mind everybody's business except your own. From now on, you mind your OWN business and you FOLLOW ORDERS! Kirby - KIRBY! You're a hot-headed show-off who thinks of himself first and everybody else second. You fly off the handle every time you turn around! ... Several sources have stated that one star was to carry the M1928A1 Thompson submachine gun. After two days of filming, he complained about the weight of the Thompson and switched to the lighter M1 carbine and carried it throughout the rest of the series. The other star was then given the Thompson to carry. After two weeks he also complained of its weight. A lighter replica Thompson was made out of wood and was carried by the latter star until it was time for a firefight, at which time he would switch back to the real Thompson. The replica can be seen with its incorrect ejection port. Originally aired on Tuesday nights at 7:30 p.m. opposite NBC's Laramie, CBS' Gunsmoke , and The Lloyd Bridges Show. Including the first and last episodes, actor Paul Busch (I) appeared in 33 episodes as different German soldiers and officers. His character usually got killed. The exclamation point in the title is a stylized bayonet. The series lasted five years in spite of the fact that only eleven months elapsed between D-Day on June 6, 1944 and the German surrender on May 8, 1945. However, the episode count (152) was less than half the number of days (336) between the two events. George

"What's he paying you boys? I'll double it and we'll beat the sh-t out of HIM." "If you need me, just call. You know how to dial, don't you? You just put your finger in the hole and make tiny little circles." "I hadn't seen a body put together like that since I'd solved the case of the Murdered Girl with the Big Tits." George

Still no.

We all have the occasional moments of re-living an experience in our minds with a better outcome. I love the French expression for it, "esprit d'escalier," or "spirit of the staircase," as if you've just walked out of a meeting and are headed down the stairs, thinking, "I SHOULD have said so-and-so!" I suspect that the deeper the trauma, the more embellished the revision. This is not delusion; it's making yourself wiser and happier, and therefore more whole. God bless you, George

Nikki Fritz Go Katie Holmes George

Yep. George

Jens did not play Supergirl. Only Slater, from this bunch, did. But they ALL played someone else. (Slater was the only one to voice the part in a cartoon.) (Interestingly, whenever I think of Salome Jens, it's in her role as "Shapeshifter-in-Charge" on Deep Space 9.) George

I was actually thinking that all three actors played Dracula. (I was certain about Langella; Lee seemed probable; and Carradine was possible.) In other words, I was guessing three different movies. Still, I'll take the win. Bull Durham Green Lantern Howard the Duck George
