Right near the start: Yep, that punk leaning on the gas pump is William Campbell, who is quasi-legendary for playing Koloth, on "The Trouble With Tribbles," and reprising the role decades later on DS9 (my favorite ST series). Also, we have: A very young John Saxon, who was on Gene Roddenberry's Planet Earth and Strange New World. The film itself? Skip it.
