The Sweet Ride

Haven't seen that since it was on CBS when I was maybe 16, around 1976. Jacqueline Bisset AND Michelle Carey! Geezus, talk about something that needs to be on blu-ray.

To make this post slightly treklike I should point out that Warren Stevens and Percy Rodriguez and Michael Forest and Charles Dirkop are all in the movie as well. And if you count DS9 and TNG as trek, there's michael sarazzin and seymour cassel too.

Just adds to the confusion over Shatner's similarly named Twilight Zone episode.

So, we're at Paul Darrow now?

 

[Vanyel]

Paul Darrow > Long Ago, Tomorrow (The Raging Moon) > Malcolm McDowell
McDowell > Star Trek: Generations > Shatner

That was tricky of you.
I only knew Blakes 7 off hand. Then looking at his IMDb page I found all but 2 movies. The rest was TV. Luckily I saw Long Ago, Tomorrow first and that led me to McDowell.
