More Wild Wild West

West and Gordon are back in action, after a little comic arm-twisting. This time, they're trying to thwart an evil genius who wants to spark a world war (an over-the-top Jonathan Winters).

Like "The Wild Wild West Revisited" this entry is directed by Burt Kennedy, most famous for the "Support Your Local . . ." movies with James Garner. He's turned a subtly tongue-in-cheek television series into out-and-out comedies.

West and Gordon (Robert Conrad, Ross Martin) are still good together. But this time around West seems to have a burr in his saddle.

Harry Morgan is back as their boss. Also, for this final act of WWW, is Victor Buono, who was in the very first broadcast episode of the original series.

The first reunion movie, "The Wild Wild West Revisited," was heavy on the comedy but was sad only because of the loss of Michael Dunn, replaced by the less adequate Paul Williams. Ross Martin's loss shortly after this movie was also sad. But this was clearly West and Gordon's swan song. Our stars are still game, but the story is tired.
