clip show that underscores two facts about Buck Rogers
7 February 2021
1. Gil Gerrard was a lumbering dinosaur of a physical actor. With this clip show cherry-picking fight scenes throughout the first 16 episodes of the series and stacking them up in relative succession, you're constantly reminded how ungraceful and downright unathletic he was. Gerrard was in good cosmetic shape, and that's about it. I can't think of another macho-stereotype-lead from the era that looked more awkward throwing a punch or, god forbid, trying to kick.

2. Erin Gray steals every moment of every scene she's in. Period. What beauty, poise and style. It's a damn shame she wasn't cast in a stronger sci-fi series during this same time frame.
