Trivia
Jim West doesn't use any devices from the television show (sleeve gun, explosive in boot, etc.) except for the universal pass key he kept in the secret pocket under his coat's lapel.

Goofs
Loveless has supposedly planted replicas of world leaders around the world. He doesn't need to further threaten governments with a letter of demands. He just has to issue the word, a la "Order 66." The hard part of replacing leaders with doubles was already done.

Quotes
Dr. Miguelito Loveless, Jr: You killed my father.
James T. West: I don't remember killing Dr. Loveless. Artie, did you...?
Atremus Gordon: No, I didn't...
Dr. Miguelito Loveless, Jr: He died of ulcers!

Misguided but it's good to see West and Gordon

Doctor Loveless is dead (alas) but his son (Paul Williams) has apparently kidnapped a lot of world leaders and replaced them with doubles. We've seen it all before.

Too bad it's another Loveless. Michael Dunn was irreplaceable. They ought to have brought back another villain or made up a new one.

Whoever was responsible didn't take the material seriously. I hate that. It's the failing of so many reunions or reboots: they either ignore the sparks that made the originals work ("The Avengers," "The Wild Wild West"--Smith and Klein) or they refuse to take the material with a straight face. But when West and Gordon reunite there's magic in the air.

And for a supposed old coot, Robert Conrad still looks in pretty good shape and takes his shirt off (if you'll forgive the cliche) at the drop of a hat.
