The Soviets were very eager to score PR coups by being the first to do various things in space. They said it demonstrated that their way of life was better.

This made them take some actions that we didn't learn until years later were quite reckless and dangerous. Leonov almost wasn't able to get back into his capsule!

Yep---wish I had a copy to re-watch (it would make a nice Halloween-season pick anyway). He also did a pretty good 1982 revenge flick just called Vigilante. I liked him in everything I saw him in.

It's a great little B movie, and Forster's a big reason why it works as well as it does. He also just showed up in the Breaking Bad movie.

Wow. This is sounding more and more like Cameron Ely stabbed his mother to death. She was a former Miss Florida.

Reports are coming in that Ron is disabled and has a speech impediment. He was unharmed.

I have to wonder though how four cops with guns felt threatened by one person with a knife.

He didn't look or sound good to me. I thought he was a good bit older than 68.

I heard about that this morning. I've never heard of Ely, not being particularly familiar with Tarzan actors, but holy shit this is horrible news.
