Do you mean, _The Final Sacrifice_, with Zap Rowsdower?

I’m a fan of _Werewolf._  
“That is absolutely fascinating.”

and of both Joe Don Baker movies.

As far as shorts go, _Mr. B Natural_ wins.  
“Mr. B, you’re hot!”

Does anyone have any recommendations for Netflix instant view?

This thread is a zombie nightmare!

On an unrelated note, it’s cool when you watch an old movie and recognize an actor from an MST3K episode. The other night, TCM played an old gangster film and the main star was Ray “Secret Agent Super Dragon” Danton! And AMC has been playing both **Airplane!** flicks lately. I was surprised to see one of the supporting actors from \*\*Parts: The Clonus Horror \*\*in there. It was the blonde guy who gets bagged and frozen at the begining of the film.

OMG, I can picture both films (seen both of them way too many times). Does he play one of the Hare Krishna’s in the airport?

No, in **Airplane II** he plays “Controller #3.” He was also Flight Sgt. Ortega in the original **Battlestar Galactica.**

Ah, zombies… I’m sure there are plenty of MST3K’d zombie movies.

I have only watched about five episodes, on YouTube. But in this extremely limited ranged, _Pod People_ was my favorite.

I brought up _The Final Sacrifice_ a couple of posts above, and just today, I found this:

[![]( " - YouTube") ](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eGAxPEeNtVM)

Zap Rowsdower talks about _The Final Sacrifice_! Nothing earth-shattering, but it’s somewhat interesting to hear about the making of the movie, and to see Zap again.
