`~John Doe~`
Edit cast list for:
The Last Starfighter (1984)?
Trivia:
The translator given Alex on Rylos is the circuit board of a digital watch. A lot of the scenes with the Beta Unit were shot after main filming was complete because the test audience liked the comic relief of the Beta Unit scenes and the director decided they added more originality to the "boy gets to go to outer space" story. This is why in many of the Beta Unit scenes `~7976~` is obviously wearing a wig - he had cut his hair by the time those scenes were shot. `~7979~` and `~7977~` had never met before this movie. When they finally met on the set, O'Herlihy was already in Grig makeup with a full-head mask. O'Herlihy introduced himself and Preston jokingly replied that of course he recognized O'Herlihy because he had "one of those faces." The "Star Car" that Centauri drives is based on the DeLorean automobile, including its gull wing doors and its stainless steel construction. In addition to the major "@##Star Trek##@ universe" roles later played by "Starfighter" cast members `~2843~` and `~3142~`, several others in the movie's cast guest starred in various @##Star Trek##@ franchises. They include `~3753~`, `~3262~`, `~3921~` and `~3272~`. But notable among them is `~878~` ("Granny Gordon") who played one of the Talosian "keepers" in the ^~trek_tos_1~^~Star Trek~^ pilot, @#The Cage#@. This was `~7979~`'s last movie appearance. The alien script seen on the computer screens in the movie is actually Hebrew with some variations. During the pilots briefing, when `~7976~` is exiting the room, you can hear `~1483~` describing the contents of the pilot's survival kit. This is an audio clip taken from @%Dr. Strangelove or: How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Bomb%@. The first movie to do all special effects (except makeup and explosions) on a computer. All shots of spacecraft, space, etc were generated on a Cray X-MP computer. Although `~2843~`'s speaking scenes were cut, he can be seen in two scenes - running around the trailer park early in the film (wearing a red football jersey), and in the final scene, where he is obscured, standing behind Louis (wearing a blue jacket, possibly over the red jersey).
