Posted by Sampo, on September 7th, 2015  Carlsbad, Calif.–Martin Milner, whose wholesome good looks helped make him the star of two hugely popular 1960s TV series, “Route 66” and “Adam-12,” has died at his home here Sept. 6. He was 83.
Longtime MSTies will remember his performance as Lyle Kingman in the movie in episode K13- SST: DEATH FLIGHT.
His AP obit is here.
Thanks to Timmy for the heads up.
Posted by Sampo, on September 6th, 2015  Ostia, Italy — Italian actor Sergio Ciana, sometimes billed as Alan Steel, died in his sleep at his home here Sept. 5, two days short of his 80th birthday. MSTies will recall that he played Hercules (really Maciste) in the movie in episode 410- HERCULES AGAINST THE MOON MEN and also had a small role in the movie in 408- HERCULES UNCHAINED. So far only Italian web sites are reporting it, but when an English obit is posted we’ll update with a link.
Thanks to Bobbie for the heads up.

Thanks to Paul for the heads up.

I am curious if anyone has instances where some detail presented in the movie really impressed them. My as “twice and a half times sixty” (i.e., 150). The Sumerians used a base-60 number system. I have always been impressed that the writers incorporated this fact. As for the accuracy of the rest of the movie, well…
My pick would be the sets in “Magic Voyage of Sinbad” especially the Indian scenes. It’s actually pretty impressive.
Your choice?
