Anybody remember these "gems"

[YJ02]

TV sci fi movies and pilots, complete from YT

this first one has a Borg like creature in it (Approx at the 2hr mark), the movie apparently aired several months before the Borg were intro'd on ST;TNG



i am glad we never had to survive a nuclear holocaust with the tech of the seventies!

LOL! I remember Battle Beyond the Stars and Damnation I don't remember the others. How many of them made it to series?

That last one, damn! Had me laughing so hard.

out of these, damnation alley was probably my fav as a kid-and is the only one I remembered from this list

that first one, though obviously they tried hard, it is just bland and too much teenager angst--hey! is this the TV movie that started SCIFI shipping??!!

there were a lot of other tv shows and movies listed on the YT sidebar-didn't want to take up too much space though

That vehicle from Damnation Alley is still parked in an auto shop lot on Ventura Boulevard in Sherman Oaks. I have driven past it occasionally, but I never have to go that way much, so I don't see it often.

I'm sure I've seen some of those but can't remember exactly everything. Sucks getting old, lol.

just think if a mash up film of our memories of old movies were made; confusing as hell ,or highly entertaining--not sure which

i'm currently watching Farscape (snookie's collection) and in an episode the "locals" had costumes that were what the Visitors wore in the original V miniseries/series. Too freaking funny!

The Borg in the Star Trek: TNG series wore repurposed stillsuit costumes from the movie Dune (1984).

The Landmaster from Damnation Alley is a custom build and was actually partly made by cutting in half two commercial trucks and joining the half chassis together.
