    Jack Kirby and Gil Kane's previously "lost" comic adaptations are also noteworthy.

      Just watched him the other day as the butthole warden in Alcatraz
      Yeah. Very cool! Some actors will always be the bad guys from way back.

      I think he's also the King in Braveheart.

        Just finished the series

        LOVED the last episode -- I would have been let down if it was more serious and informative

        This was a perfect ending !!!

        BTW, I noticed something strange …

        Why would the jukeboxes have American Beatles albums ?

            I've been watching this series since it first was broadcast in the 60s
            and just recently discovered that the answer to "Who is Number 1 ?"
            is said in the opening credits of every episode.
            Mind blown.

              "The new number 2"
              "Who is number 1?"
              "You are number 6"
              "I am not a number, I am a free man!"
              Yeah!! Up the Irons!!!

              "The Prisoner" is a great show! It is a surreal "Twilight Zone"/"1984" response to the James Bond-type shows of the '60s such as "The Avengers"/"The Saint"/"U.N.C.L.E."/etc. Enjoyable to watch, but the ending won't answer many questions about the show. It looks bright and colorful, as it was made in the swinging '60s, but it is very dark and Orwellian in its tone. Clearly the father of "Lost". And yes, avoid the recent remake!

              Also seeking: 1 blue Soldier Ape glove, 1 General Ape boot, sun reflector from PotA Fortress playset.
