Impulse

One of the most infamous entries in Shatner’s packed-with-infamy career, Impulse has the good Captain play a serial-killing conman who seduces women in the most repulsive 1970's style. And we do mean “repulsive 1970's style.” Tank tops and bellbottoms, patterned shirt collars wider than the Pacific Ocean, Shatner wears it all. And somehow, against all odds, every woman he meets falls for it. Including a single mom whose young daughter is the only one in the movie who can see this guy is bad, like obviously bad, like so bad he leaves stains on the ugly brown 1970's sofa bad. It’s a little upsetting watching him sleep his way through belly dancers, hotel clerks, and cigarette-y older ladies, but it’s all worth it when we meet the real star of the show: Karate Pete. Played by Harold Sakata, aka Oddjob from the world of James Bond, Karate Pete is always smoking a pipe, drives an RV with a banner that says “Karate Pete,” and never ever does any karate.
