What do a Chinese John Wayne and an Andorian have in common?

They shop at the same thrift store!

Ran across this photo from John Wayne's cringiest film, The Conqueror from 1956,
and instantly recognized his costume which was used a decade later on Star Trek.

This type of vest went on to become the Andorian's signature look.

No way in the world I would have ever caught that. AWESOME!

I love stuff like this.

That's great!

Very cool. So glad this wasn't the setup to a racist joke!

[Earth 2 Chris]

Wow, great eye!

I hope Reggie Nadar (who played the Andorian Shras here), had a lead vest underneath, because nearly everyone who worked on The Conqueror died of cancer due to the radiation poisoning they soaked up, filming on a former nuclear test site!

I love stuff like this.

Me too, thanks for posting Dwayne.

Trelane's costume and Batman's the Minstrel's griffin tunic were also from earlier films.

Look pilgrim, no blue faced antenna head from some far off star system is gonna take any clothes off my body.

[Werewolf]

Neat. Nice catch. I never noticed that.

Very cool. So glad this wasn't the setup to a racist joke!

LOL...it does sound kinda bad when you say it out loud.
