For the ultimate Shatner flick,check out "impulse." That movie's a smorgasbord of bad acting,Shatner style! He plays a leisure suit wearing pyschopath that loves to kill. It was sure to make many trekkies want to vomit! A perfect companion piece to his "classic" album "The Transformed Man".

I loved this film the first time I saw it about 10 years ago

I've seen this film twice and I still can't tell you anything about it except that William Shatner and Angie Dickenson have a steamy love scene.

Now, both of these people are fairly attractive and both have acting talent.  So why is this such a horribly repulsive scene?  I saw it 25 years ago and I still want to pluck out mine eyes.  With a fork.  That's rusty.  Slowly.

This was just before Angie began "Police Woman"  and about five years after Shatner ended "Star Trek", so I blame this whole mess on NBC.  If the network hadn't cancelled "Star Trek" and had  picked up "Police Woman" a year earlier,  both of these stars would've been busy and we could have had alternative casting... you know, people we could stand... like Barbi Benton and Bill Dailey.  Or Barbi Benton and Bert Lahr.  Or Barbi Benton and Bert Parks, or Bert Convey.  Hell, I'd even accept any one who wasn't even NAMED Bert.  No Bert requirement here.  Anyone but Bill.

But no... we DO get William Shatner doing the backdoor action as Angie   clutches the bedstand, trying to look aroused and in ecstacy, dancing on the tip of Capt. Kirk's fabulous intergalatic weenie.

Beam me up Scotty... I just took a poke at Police Woman and that guy from "Picket Fences" is a little steamed.

"We canna do it cap'n... we don't have da power!"  

Neither does this flick.  One kernal out of five.

What is the full name of Charlene that was a character in the movie?  Does she have a web site?

How many bad movies have Shatner and Skerrit been in together? They were also together in The Devil's Rain. Man, I never thought Tom Skerrit was that hard up.

There was a clip of a Shatner film somebody posted on this site. He looked quite young, and I got the impression he was supposed to be some sort of juvenile delinquent rebel without a cause type character. The scene shows him trying to kill someone (by strangling him and by running him over) who looks a lot like Oddjob from Goldfinger, may have been the same actor.

Is that movie "Impulse" or is it something else?

I'd be surprised if it was "Impulse" because the date on that film is 1974. I would have sworn he was considerably younger than Capt. Kirk in the clip I saw.
