But yes, they seemed to have fun.

I guess when I first watched this thing, I thought Chris Connelly was an actual stuntman, and co.

Never knew that was Chris Lloyd tho as the dynamite expert.

and yes, it was a pilot set up to be a series, which obviously wasn't picked up.

We have Morgan Brittany, as either the diver or the swimmer, doesn't matter.

And Bob Seagren, seventies model figure who was an actual Olympic figure, (go figure!) I'll always remember him as Billy Crystal's boyfriend on Soap.

Just try to envision Ekle Sommer as some popular actress in the seventies.

In whose mind? The seventies of Rocky, Network, Turning Point, Saturday Night Fever, James Bond and the disaster flicks, where would she fit in? But I guess the biggest puzzler to me has always been the vanishing of the actor who begins with Connelly, who played the grinning fellow Horatio (no idea why it is so misspelled here).

He did absolutely nothing else. Peculiar.

The movie spends more time gathering the characters than it does actually performing the adventure.

Okay.

We also get a Bill Macy appearance, he of Maude who caused the William H. Macy Jr, name to come into being.
