Robinson Crusoe on Mars : Who else thought Adam West was gonna be the one stranded?

Who else thought Adam West was gonna be the one stranded?

The first time I saw this film, I immediately thought Adam West was gonna be the guy who is stranded on Mars, as Paul Mantee was an unknown face to me.

How wrong I was.

Me to. In the end I was much happier that Paul Mantee was the one that got stranded:)

Re: Who else thought Adam West was gonna be the one stranded?

Dating myself here, but, I had never heard of Paul Mantee or Adam West so really had no clue. My mom took my brother and I to see this at a afternoon matinee when it was first released. Batman was still a couple years away.

Re: Who else thought Adam West was gonna be the one stranded?

Sadly, with the now recent passing of Paul Mantee, as well as Victor Lundin from earlier this summer, Mr. West is now the lone surviving cast member (and ironically, his character was the one that died).

RIP Paul Mantee 1931-2013 & Victor Lundin 1930-2013.

Re: Who else thought Adam West was gonna be the one stranded?

And Adam West is two years older than Victor Lundin. I wonder how long West has. It be sad day when the best on screen Batman dies. Sure people will say Keaton or Bale was the best. But West was more iconic in the role. Even if it was played up for laughs.

Re: Who else thought Adam West was gonna be the one stranded?

I always get this film confused with THE OUTER LIMITS episode "Invisible Enemy", where the Adam West character is the central one.

Re: Who else thought Adam West was gonna be the one stranded?

Just saw this movie for the first time and I thought that Adam West would be the stranded astronaut. Paul Mantee did a great job and West was scary in the dream sequence.
