That theme song is terrific and despiteit's flaws, I still love this movie mostly because of this montage:

Oh and I encourage Frank Miller to quit directing.

Oh and I encourage Frank Miller to quit directing.

He should stop comic writing while he's at it as well...

the Miller movie was the biggest piece of **** ever

I think this may be the only movie I have ever seen Sam - Flash Gordon - Jones in other than Flash Gordon.

Spirit

Awesome! I still have a grainy VHS copy of this movie that I made when it was first broadcast; the montage sequence is my favorite part of the film as well, Brian! I thought Sam Jones (of "Flash Gordon" fame) made a great Spirit, and the blue suit in the TV version was much better than the all-black affair Miller designed (why would he change such a basic element of The Spirit as his blue suit?).
I don't believe this version has ever been available commercially; A shame, as I'd love to own a nice copy.

I recall a short-lived late-80s TV show that Sam Jones starred in: a Sci-Fi program called "The Highwayman", or somesuch.

I've got every episode of that show. He was also Lorne Green's son on the short lived Irwin Allen series "Code Red".

I've got every episode of that show.

I seem to recall Howie Long (of the then-LA Raiders) guest starring on an episode of "Highwayman", is that correct? As I remember it, the show was kind of a Mad Max-type clone.

I loved the TV Spirit; wish it was available.

Jones looked great, had the chin for it lol

Highwayman ROCKED!

I never missed Highwayman for the whole what 8 weeks it was on

and the Sam Jones spirit is one i would be interested in seeing some day (along with the failed remo williams TV pilot)

I recall liking the Spirit movie, but I haven't seen it since it first aired. I was a big fan of the Highwayman. Jocko had his 15 minutes of fame all at once with that and Energizer commercials before that damn bunny showed up!
