    Sorry, Bruce, didn't see that. Great minds think alike...

    Indeed!

    Shakespeare has certainly provided inspiration to a lot of sci-fi writers over the decades.

    But of course, as Chancellor Gorkon says:
    "You have not experienced Shakespeare until you have read him in the original Klingon."
    PUNY HUMANS!

      And who says Shakespeare didn't know about ray guns?
      You obviously haven't heard about "William Shakespeare, Alien Hunter"...
      Soon to be a major motion picture!

          I've got this on big box VHS and love it. First time I ever saw a movie where Leslie Neilson had anything but white hair.

            I'm just picturing in my head a version of Forbidden Planet, but with Leslie Nielsen dialogue from Naked Gun dubbed over the original dialogue...

              This is a film that never had a proper toyline. I don't know if it's popular enough to make Retro figures for but I'd buy them.
              If a Mego figure of God did not exist, it would be necessary for EMCE to invent him.

                      ^Couldn't agree more--I have FP on DVD and have seen it prob 20 times. Awesome!

                      And yes, figures would rock: We only need 3-4, plus a scale Robby. Honestly, one promotion of these on TCM and they'd sell out immediately.

                        I completely agree. Anyone out there down to make these? Maybe we can make a petition or something...
