    I met him at a convention in Orlando about 4 months ago and he's a really great and wonderful man and I always admired him as a kid. I told him the first movie I saw him in was Roger rabbit and liked him in star trek 3 and the back to the Future franchise. I asked him how long did it take to get into the Klingon make-up and he told me about 4 in a half hours to put it on and about 2 hours to take it off. But meeting him was something I always imagined as a kid and it was a wonderful experience. Christopher Lloyd is a legend and a figure of masterpieces and it was so great to meet him.

    The interviewer brings up one of my favorite moments from Reverend Jim: A Space Oddity at 6:19. On the 3rd or 4th time Jim asks, "What does a yellow light mean?", he has to look down after "What does" because he can't remember the remaining 4 words from this simple 6 word sentence! Glad to see Christopher got such a kick out of it. It was probably his contribution and a brilliant one a that.

    Glad they talked about the "What does the yellow light mean" for those that never saw it, you missed one of the all-time funniest scenes in TV history. Some years ago Taxi reruns were on every night late. I remembered Laughing at the scene so loud, Year later I was in bed and heard the taxi theme music as my teenage daughter was watching the show. I couldn't hear the show but a little later I heard my daughter with much laughter and just knew what she saw. The next morning I asked her "were you watching the "What do you do at a yellow light " on Taxi last night? She broke down in laughter while we talked about it.

    he didn't kill Kirk's son, he ordered him to be killed, also didn't destroy the Enterprise, it was destroyed deliberately because it was disabled, and his entire crew was boarding it, thinking it was in better condition than his own ship.

    Fortunately for me, I hadn't seen "Taxi" before I saw ST III in 1984. Had I done so, I would have had trouble buying him as Kruge. Nimoy originally wanted Edward James Olmos for the part, but the studio said he was too short.

      I had seen Taxi before ST III. The thing was, the audience didn't recognize Christopher Lloyd right away. Including me. It took a few minutes. Once I did, I started to chuckle. So did a lot of the audience. It was surreal. We all recognized him at around the same time.

  • @Historian212
    @Historian212 5 років тому +1

    The interviewer does such a poor job of drawing him out. Asking "What was that like?" is a terrible question, and he asks it over and over. The questions needed to be much more specific, especially with an interviewee who doesn't seem comfortable with the process. Contrary to what Levin says in the intro to this part, Lloyd didn't really warm up at all about Taxi, and offered very few specifics, appearing to be very vague and not forthcoming. Which makes me wonder whether he didn't really want to talk about it.
