We extended our tribute to Mr. Saxon by watching a Bollywood movie (SHALAMAR/RAIDERS OF THE SACRED STONE) he made with.. Rex Harrison (yes "Dr. Doolite") Rex Harrison.   Sadly, Mr. Saxon is in the movie for about 10 minutes.  He plays a mute who had his vocal chords removed by the mob. 

This is a Bollywood film - minus an hour of song and dance numbers and revenge. 

It's on youtube for free (in super potatoe quality however.)

Gonna spin either "Battle Beyond the Stars" or "Hands of Steel" aka "Atomic Cyborg" when I get a chance.

Battle Beyond the Stars for me, or, The Magnificent 7 in outer space, and with Flash Gordon, one of the few films I have gone back to watch again and wondered why I did not give both a higher rating, when both were 1st released to theaters.

I ended up watching "Special Cop in Action", a fun Italian poliziesco where he happens to play the bad guy. But I think a better way to honor him would have been the already mentioned "Enter the dragon" or "Battle Beyond the stars". ETD has Saxon in at least one kung-fu fight, but BBTS has his hilarious make-up and the hand scene. So it's a tough choice.

Due to the horrifying nature of this film, no one will be admitted to the theatre.
