High-Tech Noon. What makes a classic Western even more classic? Blasters and force-fields, that's what. (SLYT)

I especially like the space-based 'Hammer of God' attack. Pure genius.

The updating badge was a nice little trick, although I thought that the best looking effect was the materialisation of the bad guys.

The hi-tech cowboy aspect made me expect to see Mal et al at any minute as well...

I love this. It's the sliding door that's my favourite.

When fighting the House Unamerican Activities Committee and the droids known as the good Americans, it helps to have a fricken laser.

It should probably be pointed out that Hollywood got there first.

Muse's Knights of Cydonia clip is along these lines.

selfnoise's link should actually go here, referring of course to Sean Connery's career zenith in Outland

The low quacking noise the empty guns make caused a significant workplace LOL on my part.

Nice to see someone fire a blaster and hit something. It can be done.

Whoops, how the hell did I do that? Wabbittwax is incorrect, of course. The actual career zenith would be described by Zardoz.

The voice acting pretty bad but I'd say that hammer of dawn and the sliding door were the best parts.

I like the quacking guns. I had that same alert sound on the Mac back in the day.

That was brilliantly done.

Awesome. The understated use of effect made them even funnier. Hammer of God made it for me too.

I kept waiting for Yul Brynner to show up.

The actual career zenith would be described by Zardoz. I like how zenith and nadir can be both antonyms and synonyms depending on how you look at it. Fixed the link.

Awesome. I love the clock.

This is exactly the reality we would know if more directors were like George Lucas.

I was wondering what George Lucas was up to these days...

This was great, but made me wince at recollection of what seems in retrospect like every other original Star Trek episode.

Gah. It craps out on me part way through.
