I love this movie so much

You won't be disappointed!

When a movie has you begging for it to end not even half way through it's pure crap. We've all seen this movie and this characters millions of times, nothing new in it. Don't waste your time.

The film never slows down or bores, plunging from one harrowing sequence to the next.

The 1960s brought a fascination with science and real-life NASA space adventure, oceanic exploration ala Jacque Cousteau, the threat of communism and a fixation on foreign espionage, and a renewed love of the old West and cowboy themes. On TV, it led to science-inspired programs like Men Into Space, hugely popular western series like Bonanza and Gunsmoke, ocean-themed programs like Seahunt and Flipper, and spy shows like Secret Agent Man, The Saint, Danger Man, and many others. But the real genius of 1960s producers was in their ability to combine the era's mega-themes into fascinating new forms of entertainment. The movie, The Glass Bottom Boat, was about spies and NASA astronauts. On TV, science and espionage were popular teammates on shows like The Avengers, Man From Uncle, The Prisoner, and Mission: Impossible. Science fiction and oceanic adventure made a great combo on Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea. The Wild, Wild West trumped them all, tapping into the themes of western adventure, science fiction, and espionage in a single program that never flagged in its popularity, right until the very last episode (it was ultimately pulled by the network as a nod to a big movement to reduce violence on television).There was actually a fourth leg to the Wild Wild West stool, and that was sheer 1960s whimsy. Like The Avengers and The Prisoner, WWW indulged in the decade's love of the avant-garde, fearlessly and shamelessly creating a netherworld where the bad guy might be a harpsichord-playing mad genius dwarf, or a gaggle of orange alien women who arrive in a fake flying saucer.Add to all of that, beautiful lady co-stars, and a male lead who comes as close to a real live action hero as the small screen has ever seen, and you can only come to one conclusion: The Wild, Wild West truly had it all.

I've always loved THE WILD WILD WEST as a kid growing up in NC. I watched the reruns wishing that I was James West fighting the Bad guys and Artemus Gordon being witty, funny and always there for West when he's in a tight jam when He's trapped and the Babes? Woo Wee!. I have the DVD set and The Music is also great and I have 4 CD set, By Markowitz, Shores and among others and who could forget that theme and the animated opening. This was a great TV from CBS by the show marked as a James Bond type in the President Grant administration in 1870's. Now, since I'm older, I still feel like a kid watching the Episodes. Again, A great show. My rating 8.0.

First off they recast James West, an iconic BLACK character as WHITE! I mean I understand a TV spin off like this couldn't afford a star like Willard Smith but come on! there are so many talented black actors that could've taken on the role I'm so tired of this blatant Hollywood whitewashing. The casting isn't the only outdated thing in this train wreck. The production values are TERRIBLE I mean it looks like the whole thing was filmed in the '60's or something! The first season is in black and white for peat's sake! Trying to make up for budget constraints by giving the series a 'retro' feel but at the same time losing the steam punk and socially progressive elements that made the original Film such a masterwork. And don't get me started on the theme song! they've traded in the incredible collaborative efforts of Kool Moe Dee, Rob Fusari, Stevie Wonder and Willard Smith himself for something that sounds more like it belongs at the beginning of the Brady Bunch! Last but certainly not least *SPOILER WARNING* there was not a single giant mechanical spider to be seen! very disappointing. Bottom line, save your time and just go and re watch the original movie instead.

The television series "The Wild,Wild West",represented CBS at it's most daring that in 1965,creator-producer Michael Garrison developed a television show like no other. A show that was part Western and part Espionage/Spy genre with elements of Ian Fleming, H.G. Wells, Jules Verne, Louis L'Amour,and Lewis Carroll. A series that came at the peak of the James Bond/007 craze not to mention when there were a slew of espionage shows on all three television networks when it was virtually inundated with 'secret agent' series with "The Man From UNCLE" becoming the most successful. Not to mention other espionage-spy laced series that were dazzling and eye-popping ranging from "The Avengers","The Saint","Danger Man","I Spy",and some that were not like the short-lived "Amos Burke,Secret Agent",just to name a few. But the most unabashedly entertaining series of the genre was also the most far fetched that stood out from all the rest. Set in the 1870's in the administration of President Ulysses S. Grant,the series featured two secret service agents operating out of private train with an assortment of special gadgets while saving the nation and the world from the forces of evil."The Wild,Wild West" lived up to its title,and had more imagination,romance, and exciting action-packed episodes than any other series of it's day. Created and Produced by Michael Garrison along with Producers John Mantley, Phillip Leacock, Bruce Lansbury, Gene L.Coon, and Leonard Katzman(who served as Executive Producer),the series aired on September 17,1965 and was placed in prime-time on CBS' Friday night schedule for the remainder of it's run,lasting four seasons on the air and producing 104 episodes until it's abrupt cancellation on April 1, 1969. Out of the 104 episodes that this series produced only 26 episodes in it's first season were telecast in black and white from September 17,1965 until April 22, 1966. Seasons 2 thru 4 produced 78 color episodes than ran from September 16, 1966 until April 1, 1969.The Espionage/Western series starred Robert Conrad(of "Hawaiian Eye") as James West,the dedicated,handsome,resourceful secret agent. While Conrad's acting skills stood out as impressive,he was in superb physical condition for the part,and performed all of his own stunts, throughout the series entire run. Dressed in a waist coat and tight toreador pants he exuded a sex appeal that no other star of that decade could match. His partner,Artemus Gordon,was portrayed by respected character actor Ross Martin(an actor with impeccable credentials ranging from his work in television series like "Mr. Lucky",to his guest star appearances on "The Twilight Zone","Bonanza","Peter Gunn","One Step Beyond","Naked City",and "Richard Diamond",along with his theatrical work in such movies as "The Great Race","An Experiment In Terror", and "Geronimo" just to name a few)who was the master of disguise.The premise of the show was simple with episodes entitled "The Night Of.." in which this week's villain or villainess would come up with a nefarious scheme that would involved weapons of mass destruction or a murder or an attempt to assassinate a politician that brings our leading agents West and Gordon to solve either the mystery of clues or a murder of who done it in the meantime while our heroes would have to defeat the henchmen(group of stuntman who would reappear in every episode in a variety of disguises),while West ends up seducing the inevitably girl in distress who is involved with the villain's schemes. Each episode would feature several spectacular fight scenes between West and the henchmen,or one or two disguises for Gordon where our heroes are captured by the villain which leads to a climax where our heroes,held prisoner or trapped inside one of the villain's surprise chambers would find a clever means to escape with an incredible array of special gadgets. Once freed,they solve the mystery or the murder that goes along with the plot and towards the end they end up in another spectacular fight scene with West or Gordon destroying the villain's weapon of destruction or having a bare-knucking climated fight cliffhanger between West and the villain while West and Gordon captures our evil villain or villainess and they henchmen to justice.Many of Hollywood's legendary actors ranging from Boris Karloff to Vincent Price, Agnes Moorehead, Victor Buono, Ida Lupino,and Ted Knight would guest star as this week's villain,but the one actor who became the most popular,by far,and would reappear the most frequently throughout the show's entire run was the brilliantly funny,unpredictable,yet evil dwarf Dr. Miguelito Loveless,portrayed by the gifted actor Michael Dunn who became more popular than Conrad and Martin,but what made the show stand out was the Loveless episodes of the series which were the most stylish and entertaining. Not to mention as far as guest stars go,Robert Conrad recruited his former "Hawaiian Eye" stars for several episodes with included Anthony Eisley and Connie Stevens. Not to mention other guest stars from Jim Backus, Alan Hale, Jr., Dabbs Greer, Ray Walston, Martin Landau, Leslie Nielsen, Carroll O'Connor, Sammy Davis, Jr., Tina Louise, Dawn Wells, Ricardo Montalban, Suzanne Pleshette, William Windom, Richard Pryor,and Keenan Wynn just to name a few that made guest star appearances on the show.The phenomenal success of "The Wild,Wild West" holds a unique position among the spy shows of the 1960's with a huge fan base that is extremely loyal and to those babyboomers who remember watching the show during it's run on CBS. The success after it's cancellation spawned two made for television movies in 1979 with "The Wild,Wild West Revisited" and in 1980 with "More Wild,Wild West" featuring Robert Conrad and Ross Martin in their original roles. A show that even 50 years after its debut still entertains. Happy Anniversary to "The Wild,Wild,West"
