Jason Ritter Instagram – Promotional photograph from “Race for Space”, a straight-to-video flop starring a young Gary (in his one and only foray into the film world) as Johnny “Lightning” Rogers, a race car driver whose life is changed when a zany visitor from outer space lands in his back yard, and tells him that he’s been chosen to represent Earth in an intergalactic race for the survival of mankind. Gary’s line “Looks like it’s time for “Lightning” to strike TWICE” before he punches Evil Alien Overlord Gryzz in the giant eye for the second time (saving all the other planets from destruction) will be repeatedly quoted by Allan to tease his father about being in one of the worst movies of all time, even though his initial reaction to seeing the movie at age 11 was one of pure awe and pride in his intergalactic hero of a father (1983) | Posted on 26/Aug/2015 18:14:51
