Message: [QUOTE="nelsonmuntz, post: 3065356, member: 833"] The fact that Ricardo Montalbon played one of the top movie villains of all time is kind of insane when you look at Montalbon by that point in his career. Fantasy Island was a modest hit, albeit one that was considered ridiculous even for the era. Montalbon's best days were behind him, and strangely, he didn't really leverage Wrath of Khan into a rebirth of his film career. Your cast were a bunch of middle aged character actors typecast by a show that only ran for 3 season, but somehow got cult status in re-runs. Wrath of Khan was a sequel to a single episode of this TV show, and had run 15 years before the movie was released. This movie had flop written all over it, and somehow it just worked. [/QUOTE]
