Which of these 8 films is your favorite William Shatner movie? I didn't include any of the Star Trek material.

Dude!  You forgot Shatner's tour-de-force IMPULSE!

Thanks again Oldskool138. Never heard of IMPULSE before. It's now on my list of films to view.  :smile:

IMPULSE is hysterical!  And as an added bonus, it's got the guy who played Oddjob in it.  :teddyr:

No mention of DISASTER ON THE COASTLINER?

For shame!   :wink:

I picked IMPULSE as well! "Your all nothing but dogfood!" Saw it once,on late nite TV in the 70's...haven't been able to find it since...
He's a real teisted,sick puppy in that one...

KARATE PETE FOR PRESIDENT!

I picked Impulse.  I actually found a completely bare bones DVD of it in a pawn shop a while back.

The "chase" scene through the car wash is hilarious.

No hesitation/no argument --
peter johnson/denny crane , , , denny crane is one of the single funniest characters ever presented to the public in either film or TV.
Shatner is a Clown Prince.
If you don't understand why I sign off as "denny crane" on all my posts, then you please do need to watch at least 2 episodes of "BOSTON LEGAL" on network TV.
thankyou.

I would go with The Intruder and his small role as Spencer Tracy's assistant Harry Byers in Stanley Kramer's Judgement At Nuremberg. Good actor, b.t.w.  :wink:

I have to throw my support behind The Intruder.  Great movie, great performance.

HUH? And here all along I thought it was a take on Will Eisner's the SPIRIT...aka Denny Crane...well,color me dum ass....

Ah...the Spirit's real name is Dennt COLT!
By the By, any opinions on the new DC remake of The Spirit?

I haven't seen any of these movies.  I doubt I'm missing anything.

Oh, you assuredly are missing something, my friend!

Kingdom of the spiders is my vote.  That was a creepy one when I was a little kid.

Sweet!   I just ordered "Impulse"!  I haven't seen it in 15 years.  I caught it on some late night horror show.  It's a no-frills DVD with a crappy transfer I'm sure but it's worth it so see Shatner acting like a complete lunatic for 90 minutes.  I'll let you know how it is after I watch it again.  :smile:

Now that's not a very B-attitude. Well I guess Rebel will just have to live and learn  :teddyr:. Welcome to the board Rebel. By the way what are you rebelling against? That's what they would ask in the film THE WILD ONE.

Uhh, you forgot Star Trek.....

Or is that too obvious?

I got my copy of Impulse today!  I forgot how hysterical Shatner is in it.  His outfits alone are worth the price of admission.  The chase through the car wash had me in stitches.  Harold Sakata looked truly embarrassed to be involved in that scene. 

All the characters replay lines of dialog from other scenes in their thoughts through voice-overs.  I guess one of two things happened:  The director had no faith in his actors to convey the right emotions for the scene or he's just a hack who knows nothing about pacing, editing or nuance.  It's probably the latter.  The girl's main purpose in the script was to wander around witnessing William Shatner do things.  She has Jason-like teleportation powers to boot.  No matter how fast Shat runs, she's right behind him.

A must see for us B-Movie fans!  :thumbup:

Amazon's got it for $2.65 so I guess I'm in. I'm curious about the Shatner film INCUBUS (1965) with the dialogue all in Esperanto.

Bad News: Unless you live in China, Hungary, or Bulgaria you're out of luck finding an Esperanto class. 

Today I got my Nick Philips Horror Trilogy (SATAN'S BLACK WEDDING/CRIMINALLY INSANE/CRIMINALLY INSANE II). It'll be the perfect background noise while I rush around and try to get the taxes done tonight.  :hatred: 

Apparently Philips and Priscilla Alden continued the antics of Crazy Fat Ethel in a couple of more films titled DEATH NURSE and, not surprisingly, DEATH NURSE 2, but these are apparently next to impossible to find.  :thumbdown:
