Most obvious Double scenes

[ZERO_of_ZERO]

Im watching Platos stepchildren at the moment and Spock is doing the "Spanish tap" (Flamenco dancing?) arround Kirks head.

Well it sure looks to me like some bloke in a Spock wig.
(Of course I could be wrong - but probably not)

Any thoughts on other double scenes that were fairly/very or blatantly obvious?

I cant think of any right now, but Im sure there are others.

 

[Hofner]

Well, one of my favorite 'obvious' double scene is the closeup shot of Scotty's hands on the transporter controls and all ten digits on the hands are intact.

The fight between Kirk and Khan. They weren't even trying.

 

[KeepOnTrekking]

Some of the close shots of the Kirk-Spock battle in "Amok Time." Sometimes on those sets you just couldn't pull back far enough to make the stunt doubles work on the screen.

Kirk vs. Ben Finney

 

[Shatmandu]

In "Where No Man Has Gone Before," for all we know, one of the two guys fighting might have well been named "James R. Kirk."

It sure as shit wasn't James T.

Joe, B.

Not to mention the longhaired Mitchell. Then again, he WAS a god - so he can grow and shorten his hair at will.

Definitely Hengist in the briefing room in Wolf in the Fold.

110 lb John Lormer becomes 220 lb stuntman.

 

[Shatmandu]

The flip side of this question is when they replaced Takei with a mannequin.

Never noticed.

Joe, aye, sir

Lormer? Do you mean John Fiedler?

Right about the time when he said to the hippie girl in "The Way to Eden",

--"How do you know what I WANT?"

I'm generally willing to give TOS a pass on a lot of these since TV's weren't as large or high quality in those days as they are now. They also didn't expect the show to still be running 40 years later being examined and debated more than the Zapruder film.

From TMP forward though is fair game.

 

[Kryton]

There's always Kirk dragging "himself" to the transporter in "The Enemy Within".

 

[erastus25]

I remember in one episode that a curly aired guy doubled for Spock. I think it was This Side of Paradise.

 

[Forbin]

Commodore Decker fighting the guard in the corridor.
Not. Windom.

 

[number6]

I remember in one episode that a curly aired guy doubled for Spock. I think it was This Side of Paradise.

That curly haired guy is also there in the fight scene at the end of Mirror, Mirror.

Who was the chick doubling for Nichelle Nichols? She had serious 6 gallon abs.

 

[NiteTrek]

Well, one of my favorite 'obvious' double scene is the closeup shot of Scotty's hands on the transporter controls and all ten digits on the hands are intact.

I wouldn't count that as an "obvious" double scene. Most people don't know about Doohan's missing finger.

An obvious double is any of Trek's fight scene's. Even watching Trek as a kid, it was painfully obvious that stuntmen were used.

Actually, I was thinking of Mirror, Mirror initially. I knew the curly haired guy fought Kirk but I couldn't remember which episode it was and the Kirk v Spock fight from Paradise jumped into my head. Thanks for the reminder!

However, I just looked at the screencaps from that episode on TrekCore.com and the Kirk double is pretty bad:
