re: Fight scenes

Patrick,

Surely you remember watching "Space Seed" the other night.  How can you
compare any fight scene to that?  After Kahn says (in that oh-so-suave
Mediteranian accent of his)  "I have five times your strength,"  Kirk
pummels him into jello with a styrofoam crowbar.  

That fight scene was one of the few, I believe, where there were TWO stunt
doubles in a scene.  Note that neither Shatner nor Montalbon were actually
on the engine room floor for the sweeping panoramic view of the two centuries
coming FACE TO FACE HERE AT THE EN-TER-PRISE STAD-E-UM... (shut up, Howard).
