Looking for something on combatives training and found this clip of CPT Kirk playing kissy kissy with a lizard.

It is indeed the worst fight scene ever.

Mike, not to hijack the post, but a blogger is under attack by the MSM: http://www.thearmedcitizen.com/2010/07/22/breaking-the-armed-citizen-among-those-sued-in-infringement-witch-hunt/

Jimmy grok Gorn and I don't care.

The lizard's eyes look about two inches in diameter. The universal translator on its belt looks about one and a half inches in diameter. A solution begins to present itself.
Those were the days when an hour show was fifty minutes long, with two commercials every fifteen minutes. Apparently they only had 40 minutes of story for this episode.
Worthy of "Lost in Space."

If I was that lizard, I would have bit Kirks head off.

How dare you diss Capt. Kirk. I'd like to see how well you would do against that big lizard!

Reminds me of the bitter disagreement that night in the Boston Fish Market, between Teresa Heinz Kerry and John "Whipped" Karry. After she slapped him around with the big fish, he shed a few manly tears and ran out into the Autumn night sobbing, as she cackled and ridiculed his manhood.

LOL.

That scene was filmed at Vasquez Rocks County Park, near Agua Dulce, California (North Los Angeles County, west of Cal-14)...I used to live not far from there.

I'd go run my dogs around there, and frequently I'd see grown adults, dressed in home-made StarFleet uniforms getting their pictures taken on 'Gorn Rock'...I wonder why I never saw anyone dressed like the lizzard.

Thanks, Mayberry. We need to know.

With everything else going on, THIS is what bothers Authorized Journalists.

Kirk is a god among men. Also, he's not afraid to use guns when he has to. Have you ever used a diamond as a bullet? I THINK NOT!!

Denny Crain could have handled it. He'd have had at least 5 hidden guns.

Long live James T Kirk, conqueror of aliens, adversaries and beautiful women the galaxy over.

This is one the coolest fight scenes ever! For the scoffers ... get a life!
