JUDGEMENT FROM OUTER SPACE PART 1 Air Date:
January 15, 1977. JUDGEMENT FROM OUTER SPACE PART
2 Air Date: January 17, 1977. In the two-part
'Judgement From Outer Space' - an homage to the
classic sci-fi film The Day the Earth Stood Still -
an alien emissary named Andros (Tim O'Connor) is
sent to earth by the Council of Planets to determine
if the barbaric tendencies of humanity warrants
continued survival. Andros speaks to the leaders of
the earth and passionately explains the need for a
more peaceful existence on this planet, but the
Nazis capture the alien, driving home the point that
the Council may not be wrong about earth. Wonder
Woman is determined to save her new alien friend and
her world. One of the most popular aspects of The
New Adventures of Wonder Woman was the spectacular
stunt sequences in which the Amazon Princess seemed
to defy gravity. What few may realize is that series
star Lynda Carter actually performed many - though
not all - of her own stunts. 'I really loved doing
the stunts,' the actress noted in Sixty Years of the
World's Favorite Comic Heroes. 1 had a lot of stunt
women, because they all did something different, but
I ended up doing most of the fights myself. The
stunt guys taught me how to throw a punch, and
eventually I became an honorary member of the Stunt
Women's Association.' Apparently on occasion she
would go TOO far, such as when Wonder Woman was
supposed to be hanging from the bottom of a
helicopter. 'The stunt girl was about to go under
it,' said Carter, 'and I said, 'Oh, I can do this!'
I ran under and they went up, and when the producers
found out about it, they went ballistic.' " |
