Gunstars=REALLY COOL.

A bit of info on Centauri's flying car.

According to a few sources I've looked at the car was actually built by Gene Winfield (who also designed the shuttlecraft in TOS) and is a working prop but looks based around a Delorean.

Ironically, the car later appeared in Back To The Future II :)

I loved Centauri's flying car. The way they introduced its flight capability in the film was priceless. I still think that car looks cool.

Nice "Back To The Future II" sighting.

Ahh. The good old days of CGI, when hundreds of flat shaded polygons were a strain on the computing technology of the day...

I agree. Anyone ever seen a model kit of one of those? I'd love to build one.

Great podcast this week, based on one of the movies that makes me feel better if I'm in a crappy mood.

The TreksInSciFi promo with "The Last Starfighter" music always reminds me of The Blue Brothers scenes where they are recruiting people to go to their review, by using that massive PA system strapped to the top of the car.  :0)

Man - I think you are right!  I really need to make a new promo!  :)
