Treates may have noticed that the helm of USS enterprise, Lieutenant Hikaru Sulu (George Takei), was absent From several episodes of the second season of Star Trek. This was because Takei took some time to shoot the 1968 military drama "Green Berets" starring Johnon Wayne, who was also co-shot with Roy Kellogg.

The "Green Berets" were hacked by critics. Most people have angered it. The drama referred to (then the still active) war in Vietnam, but was portrayed as a sentimental drama in the era of World War II with "heroes" and "villains". Wayne, a starvet of several films since World War II, did not seem to have adapted his views on the war over the past 20 years, thinking that his "brave American" tick would still fly in 1968. He once said that "Green Berets" is his attempt to remain apolitically about the Vietnam war, although war is one of the most sincere political acts, human can engage in man.

Roger Ebert They gave him zero starsevels infamouslyAnd Renata Adler, writing about the Yorkyork TimesHe called it "wicked and crazy". Oliver Stone told DVDs that he had written his film in the Vietnam war in 1986 "Word" as a direct reproach of "Green Berets".

"Green Berets", despite its critical unpopularity, was a hit (Although certainly not one of the best of Johnon Wayne). It was made for the then big $ 7 million, and the box office earned over $ 32 million. That part must annoy Taki, played by the Vietnamese captain NGIM. When we recall the making of the "green berets", the actor "Star Trek" expressed several regret. In an interview to respect the valley (Reversed by MetV. He, however, noted that Wayne was friendly, and the big screen icon even admitted to seeing Star Trek.

Takei remembers being amazed at Wayne's loose-Guised way. He says many "green berets" were improvised because Wayne did not want to stick to the script. The script was also deleted by the government. As Takei recalls:

"Working with Johnon Wayne was really an experience in itself. With that project, he was not just Johnon Wayne's Starwar," but he was produced by his company and the producer was his son, Michael Wayne. And the directors (B were) Johnon Wayne and Ray Kellogg. And, although we had a script - for the problems to be behind the schedule, etc. - He threw the script, and we were getting better as we went.

It also seems that Johnon Wayne was fever, or was at least familiar with "Star Trek", which is strange for a man with notorious retrograde conservative values. Takei revealed that Star Trek is, in 1967, popular enough to help him get his role in "green berets". Indeed, Wayne called him "Sulu" on set. As TEVI has linked:

"I think Star Trek played a small role (to bring me the role). In fact, when we first started shooting, Wayne wouldn't call me "Georgeghor", he would shout "Where is Sulu? But later, he called me" George ". "

It must have been nice to have a Starwar on Wayne's rusty not only recognizes the work you did on TV, but also call your first name afterwards. Of course, Taki may have felt the back of ambivalence after An notorious 1971 interview with Playboy magazine appeared. Wayne said that some terrible racist things they were taking, an actor of Japanese descent, would probably be injured.
