Author Topic: Khan spits his last breath at thee...(Montalban passes) Bill Enos Film God Posts: 2081 From: Richmond, Virginia, USA Registered: Apr 2000 posted 01-15-2009 09:13 PM                     The '70s were not a good time for cars from anywhere most were ugly and all of them ran like shit because of recently introduced exhaust emissions requirements and the technology to achieve them was primitive.  |  IP: Logged David Stambaugh Film God Posts: 4021 From: Eugene, Oregon Registered: Jan 2002 posted 01-15-2009 09:55 PM                        quote: Mark Lensenmayer I looked at the ad Phil posted, and that Cordoba is one ugly car. That was not a great period in American car design. But, Ricardo sure said "cor-DOH-buh" better than anyone else. I wish they had written "corinthian leather" into his role as Khan, though. Oh f**k me, Montalban's suave performance in that ancient Cordoba commercial Phil posted makes me want to buy one even if it was a POS! RM saved Star Trek AND he sold thousands (hundreds of thousands? MILLIONS??!!) of crappy cars for freaking Chrysler too!!! RIP Ricardo Montalban. You may have just been an actor, but you left a mark and you will not be forgotten.  |  IP: Logged Chris Slycord Film God Posts: 2986 From: 청주시, 경북도, South Korea Registered: Mar 2007 posted 01-15-2009 10:25 PM                     At the beginning of the vid it sure sounds like he says "Core-Bo-Ba" then later starts saying it correctly. Granted I'm dyslexic so d's and b's can sometimes be hard to distinguish for me, but I listened multiple times.  |  IP: Logged Bobby Henderson "Ask me about Trajan." Posts: 10973 From: Lawton, OK, USA Registered: Apr 2001 posted 01-15-2009 11:25 PM                     Not that many people would care, but Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan was the first movie to unveil that classic "70MM" logo Paramount used through the remainder of the 1980s and a few times in the 1990s. Here's an example of the 70mm logo in a Lawrene of Arabia joke. I seem to remember giving a Brad a "this auditorium features 70mm projection" sign thingie with the same logo some time back. Did that sign ever get installed? Another nice one...that no Star Trek movie ever used... ...Khan!!!!  |  IP: Logged Tim Reed Better Projection Pays Posts: 5246 From: Northampton, PA Registered: Sep 1999 posted 01-16-2009 08:22 AM                       quote: Chris Slycord At the beginning of the vid it sure sounds like he says "Core-Bo-Ba" There's the sfx of a door opening right when he says that, combined with compression, and the overall poor quality of the recording that makes it sound that way.  |  IP: Logged Joe Redifer You need a beating today Posts: 12859 From: Denver, Colorado Registered: May 99 posted 01-16-2009 08:10 PM                         |  IP: Logged Tony Bandiera Jr Film God Posts: 3067 From: Moreland Idaho Registered: Apr 2004 posted 01-20-2009 05:55 PM                     Thanks a lot Joe, that last shot of Capt. Kirk is gonna give me nightmares... Ricardo was a great actor, he was even able to salvage the role of Mr. Roarke on "Fantasy Island" from being a total disaster, despite not having anything to work with in terms of script. (His role was all exposition, explaining everything to the midget. )  |  IP: Logged David Stambaugh Film God Posts: 4021 From: Eugene, Oregon Registered: Jan 2002 posted 01-20-2009 09:44 PM                        quote: Tony Bandiera Jr His role was all exposition, explaining everything to the midget. Well you know the midget was a stand-in for the viewing audience.  |  IP: Logged Darryl Spicer Film God Posts: 3250 From: Lexington, KY, USA Registered: Dec 2000 posted 01-21-2009 02:32 PM                    quote: - chase around the moons of something and through perdition's flames?

LoL Only kidding.

Thing was comfortable to drive and easy for me to handle. Granted, coming from import econoboxes to a yacht like this one was something to get used to with that dognose way out there. ..but the thing flew down the freeway.,... -Monte  |  IP: Logged
