This 50-Year-Old Kurt Russell-Led Cult Sci-Fi Trilogy Proves Disney Needs Do More With the Genre
Kurt Russell's early turn in Disney's Dexter Riley trilogy is a fond remider of why Disney should produce more original sci-fi.
Kurt Russellhas starred in iconic movies likeTombstone and Stargate, but in the 1960s, he starred in an unorthodox trilogy of films due to a contract he signed with Walt Disney Pictures. This trilogy consists of the films The Computer Wore Tennis Shoes, Now You See Him, Now You Don't and The Strongest Man in the World, with Russell playing the part of college student Dexter Riley, who often finds himself gaining superhuman abilities due to a freak accident. Riley's adventures aren't just a unique take on science fiction tropes, but one of the more underrated series of Disney films out there — and a reminder that the Mouse House should strive for more original films in the future.
