...sportsman (and still is, although a pelvic injury last year has slowed him somewhat). He was a member of Spain's 1972 Dragon-class Olympic sailing team. A black belt in karate, it was said its kept his broken boards in a mansion closet. He is also an avid motorcyclist...
...could not be sweeter in the leading role, and everyone around her is genial enough, the movie does not quite deserve its promotional association with such predecessors as Gregory's Girl and Local Hero. For it lacks the wayward exuberance and quirkiness of those small delights. No inexplicable motorcyclist or man in a penguin suit is permitted to wander through Director Duffell's tidy frames. Nor are any brief, enlivening emotional squalls that might stir up those placid waters. The result is rather like a nice day at the beach: nothing wrong with it, but nothing much...
...West. His motorcycle offers him no protection from the bandits' six-shooters, and Swann himself carries no modern firearms. Consequently, none of the other characters in the movie seems too impressed by him. Perhaps the weakness of the plot lies in the fact that it's a motorcyclist--rather than the commander of a tank or the pilot of an F-14--who is sent back in time.

Pfeiffer is pretty and has a cer tain spirit about her, but the vacant Caulfield is surely...
...Games show, a stunt driver named Spunky piloted a car off a 45-ft.-high ramp into a lake. The camera focused on the clenched face of his wife as rescue divers made their way to the sunken auto. Would Spunky survive his dive? (Answer: yes.) In another segment, Motorcyclist Rex Black well roared off a ramp and over two parked helicopters as their blades whirled at 350 r.p.m. "He barely cleared the last blade!" exulted the commentator as a slow-motion replay showed just how close Blackwell had come to being converted to steak tartare...
