"More Wild Wild West" is a 1980 TV movie that was the second reunion of the Wild Wild West series. It was also the last pairing of actors Robert Conrad and Ross Martin as James West and Artemus Gordon, due to the death of Martin less than a year after it aired.
Plot:
Once again West and Gordon are called out of retirement to stop a madman: Professor Albert Paradine II with his weapons of doom... atomic bombs and Paradine's ability to turn himself invisible...
Cast:
Robert Conrad................James West
Ross Martin.....................Artemus Gordon
Jonathan Winters............Albert Paradine II
Harry Morgan..................Robert T. "Skinny" Malone
Victor Buono....................Dr. Henry Messenger
René Auberjonois............Colonel Sir David Edney of the British Secret Service (promoted from Captain since his appearance in "The Wild Wild West Revisited)
Theme:
This is one of the poorer spinoffs of "The Wild Wild West" among them:
Villain having a destructive weapon of the future: in this case an atomic bomb such as used in the previous reunion movie "The Wild Wild West Revisited"
This movie has a bit more comic relief than usual, such as having the inept head of the Secret Service "Skinny" Malone turning himself invisible at the end or having Messenger and Malone being handcuffed together and also turning invisible. "Dr. Messenger" is a spoof of Secretary of State Dr. Henry Kissinger. Ironically, Victor Buono was more convincing as the villain Count Manzeppi in the original Wild Wild West series!
