I always think of him first in those beer commercials he was in when I was a kid. They always ran during Wide World of Sports.

I'd disagree on that point, number 5 is actually quite charming and one of the better ones (and 6 has some fun characters and good moments).|

Number 7 is an obvious abomination (Why are there Russain Chimp Policemen?!?!) but it surprised me just how bad number 4 was. I mean, ugh, a 3-4 minute skateboarding sequence, dull repeated jokes and no plot to speak of?
I'd recommend a 2 stage marathon over a weekened 1-4 on Saturday, 5-7 on a Sunday. That way, if you drink, you'll be soberst for the best bits and drunkest during the worst parts.
Always remember, we were Heroes.
Sad news indeed. Bubba Smith and Andre the Giant helped to lodge the 'gentle giant' archetype in my brain as a kid through their performances.
Another hero from my childhood passes on. I must be getting old.

It's one of the unbreakable laws of the universe.
Only "Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull" has managed to violate that law.
Arc# 92382 -- "The S.P.I.D.E.R. and the Tyrant" -- Ninjas! Robots! Praetorians! It's totally epic! Play it now!
Arc # 316340 -- "Husk" -- Azuria loses something, a young woman harbors a dark secret, and the fate of the world is in your hands.
RIP Mr. Smith.
My father grew up watching you play football and I was lucky enough to see you in high-light clips and your Police Academy movies. Godspeed sir.
Bubba Smith aka Moses Hightower was found dead today in his Los Angeles California home....cause of death appears to be of natural causes...
He was 66....
Rest in Peace big man!
