So Who Was The Actor Playing Man Korr?

[richard.fuller1 · 7/10 · 8 August 2015]

It's strange to remember episodes so vividly, as I never liked Fantasy Island, but obviously there were those, for whatever reason, I watched.

This was one of them.

I actually recall a write-up about this episode for 'reuniting' Bob Denver and Jim Backus from their previous island adventure, but now the episode stands out to me for Verne Watson and Ralph Bellamy's story, where she is looking for the reclusive Dr. Gates.

Upon reviewing it once more, I immediately recalled the story and the deranged native with the scarred face, and his child being endangered but he refuses to let Dr. Gates treat the kid.

Amazingly, because the scarred native, Man Korr, did not speak, only grunt, yet his wife did, SHE is credited on this episode, but he isn't! Looks incredibly peculiar. Now I wonder who this poor actor was. Oh, well.

bleh. predictable

So last episode i saw had ventriloquist dummies that turn into hot chicks that were all evil so i was expecting a lot for this one.

It had Bob Denver.

So Bob Denver has this Justin BEiber wig and a kid who has same wig. Kid is obsessed with comic books and mostly Eagle man (as a Buccaneer fan, i find Eagle man disgusting). SO in this very 1960's Batman like story, Bob Denver is with co workers, promotion in the air, ignorant kid etc etc. Don't want to ruin it but Thurston Howell is his boss and gives him the promotion when Bob Denver is mocked by his coworkers and didn't care and went for his kid. I know, you never saw that coming and blame me for ruining this episode for you.

Funny parts of that episode was a co-worker trying to ruin him and follow him around, drink in hand, in his bushes. I was like "been there". don't drink. Also the bad guy coworker was on a payphone with Bob Denver and pretended to be Tattoo, with his actual voice. I was busy doing stuff and not really paying attention but i swear Bob Denver was like "what are you saying tattoo, i cant understand you" So not even mentioning Bob Denver floating like a super hero in a cheap eagle suit with feathers flying around, that was the best story. the other was this reporter lady who looks like Michelle obama, (actually she is the same actress i think , in the episode of superficial friends who want to do a shopping spree. anyhow shes there to find some criminal Dr guy. Mr Rourke does his "but i must warn you..." bit, which i love. then she meets the guy, realizes he is helping the community. then crap happens , then he has to cross a bridge to help some woman while some other guys wants to kill him, named Man Kor, then he crosses the bridge, i realize i recognize bridge that was the one Bruce Cole died on one of his 25 episodes he was on, and then it turns out the child he is to save is Man Kor's kid. but Man Kor is stubborn and tries to kill the guy but like most movies, a few unexplainable lucky misses, he all the sudden gets it and all is good.

the end.

hoping for something better next time. Bob Denver. yikers.

WTF?? Spoiler Alert!! Don't Watch!!!

Aaron Spelling must have been sniffing some premium "booger sugar", when he approved this episode to be aired!!

Ricardo Montaban and Herve' Vilaze' must have got paid a fortune, to be apart of this nonsense!!

I used to watch this show back in the day. But, I'm glad I missed this particular zany foolishness!! "Gilligan" as "Eagleman" as a comic book hero??!! He looked like he was well into his 50s on this episode!!Like I said: "WTF??"

Then some random African American TV star, who's fantasy is get an interview with some lost, rich dotor??!! Who attacked by some horrible actors?! One is a man on crutches swinging a wooden club, an old woman and some caveman with a bad wig on, grunting?!

She is rescued by some old white man with a ferocious golden retriever?! Why not a German Shepard or Doberman Pincher??!! You got to be stoned out of your mind, to watch this corny crazy $h!t!

This is when ABC would put anything on TV and call it entertainment. And why did Aaron Spelling "recycle" these washed up TV show stars between "The Love Boat", "Vega$", and all the other slew of ABC shows he had on TV from the 1970s to the early 1980s???!!!!

No wonder this stupid show got canceled!!!!
