solar12 The classic espionage TV series The Wild Wild West, which ran from 1965 to 1969 on CBS, was followed by two TV movie sequels: The Wild Wild West Revisited (1979) and More Wild Wild West (1980). The original series episodes ranged from thrilling espionage episodes to more comedic and campy ones, but the follow-up TV movies continued only in the campy and comedic vein. That was considered a let down by some fans of the series who were hoping for something closer to the more serious episodes of the show. I can understand their viewpoint, but I found both movies entertaining for what they were: a fun bit of escapism featuring the reunion of two favorite characters and the actors who played them. The chemistry between these guys can't be beat. Both movies have their weak points, but Conrad and Martin, reunited as an older West and Gordon, make for fun viewing.

grendelkhan I was excited when I first heard about The Wild Wild West Revisted. I loved the original series and enjoyed Conrad's more recent series, Baa Baa Black Sheep. I was all set to see one of my favorite series reborn. I was soon to learn a harsh lesson: you can't recreate the past.The movie finds Jim and Artie retired, but pressed back into service. Now, one thing they got right was not pretending that Jim and Artie were still young. Unfortunately, they used this to try to mine laughs, rather than drama. We are introduced to Dr. Loveless Jr., played by Paul Williams. It's a nice idea, and Williams tries hard, but it doesn't work (still better than Kenneth Branagh, though). Add 70's TV staples Shields and Yarnell, as steam era cyborgs (in a bad parody of The Six Million Dollar Man) and you have a complete mess.The elements that made the show great are missing. There are no wild stunts, no clever gadgets or steampunk devices (Shields and Yarnell aside) and it's rather lacking in the bizarre, or at least interesting bizarre. The atomic bomb shtick also ends up to be overly jokey.Conrad and Martin still had good chemistry, and it's fun to see them, but the material just wasn't there. Fan's would have been better off with a retrospective, or a more straightforward, dramatic script; but, instead, they get one big lame joke.

MovieCriticMarvelfan Since no one has commented on this flick, I guess I am the first one that has seen it. The tv movie doesn't quite live up to the series as far as the gadgets, but like a tradional western it has bar fights, a damsel in distress and other action, but fans looking for gadgets or huge explosions might be disappointed. Saw it on digital cable (eat your heart out, cheap cable subscribers). LOLIronically there was another Wild Wild West tv movie in 1980.

jmlightis I was so excited when my ebay search found this video and then even more excited when I won it on the auction. I was really surprised when no one else bided on this video since I know that there are so many fans of this program. I never even new that this video originally existed till I surfed the web on The WWW sites. I still want to find the other video "More of The WWW." Now my thoughts on the video WWW Revisited. It was great to see them in action again. They looked great. Even though the production wasn't quite as good as the original TV series a little hammed up. Of course all reunion shows are never as good as the original. It was still very entertaining to see my heroes from my child hood back in action. I will say this. The start of the video about where Jim and Artie were in there retirement could not have been more perfect. It just seemed so natural that Artie would be traveling in a side show being that he was so dramatic and so able to act like so many different characters. And where else would Jim be but kicked back with beautiful women taking care of him. The producer/director must have let them write this part of the script, cause it seemed so "them." Now I want to know from someone what the hell happen when they were making this movie. And what idiot and how know one did anything to catch and change the script CAUSE JIM WEST WAS KNOWN FOR ALL HIS GADGETS. Jim West did not use any of his gadgets in this movie. Oh it showed him checking out a couple of tricks in the train but what were they thinking when they made this movie. No heel on the boot gadget, knife in the toe of the boot, gun up his sleeve, no nothing. What's up with this, blows my mind.
