I wasn't even born when it originally aired, but it was frequently on reruns during the mid 1980s. It was a series I loved quite a bit and I'm pretty sure it influenced Deadlands. Dr. Miguelito Loveless was the only reoccuring villain I can remember from the show and he was played by Michael Dunn. Dunn was a little person, and you might remember him from the Star Trek episode "Plato's Stepchildren," the famous episode where Kirk kisses Uhura. Anyway, the movie was disappointing on so many levels, Will Smith wasn't right for the part (he just couldn't compare to Robert Conrad), the mechanical spider was a bit much, and Loveless was probably the biggest disappointment of them all.
