There will never be another Robert Conrad.

The music in this action show was tremendous. They can,t even dream of a show like this today.

Red West - a friend of Elvis from HS days, a member of Elvis' Memphis Mafia, and a writer of a few songs that Elvis recorded. He went on to a successful career as an actor - in Black Sheep Squadron/Baa Baa Black Sheep with Conrad, a lot of TV show appearances, a few TV movies with Conrad, and the cult classic Road House.

Fabulous video.... there was no better "actor-fighter" than Bob Conrad on the Wild Wild West. I could watch Jim West kick ass for hours. Thanks so much for uploading this awesome display of one of the best actors/stuntmen ever.

I just love the gorgeous paisley satin waistcoats and cravats that Jim and Artie wear.

Robert Conrad one of my favorite actors. I started working as a Stuntman late 80's and 90's. Worked with Tommy Huff and Uncle Gene LaBell. They told me great and inspiring stories of Robert Conrad

Great series and Robert Conrad did his own stunts!💪

Back in the day as children we always mimict these fight scenes from the show we often got hurt but it was fun anyway RIP Robert Conrad.

I am 62 and this was probably my best TV series at that time; since that period, I am a collector of the double derringer and still amazed when Robert CONRAD draws his double from his forearm. This was the perfect association between him and Ross MARTIN. They were very popular here in FRANCE and I think they joined in the other world. Thank you so much for your work, Mister.

I loved Conrad's fight scenes too much when I was a kid. I was play-fighting with another kid and accidentally threw him into a wall. He got a bunch of stitches on his forehead where he met the wall, head first. After that, his mother didn't let us play together anymore.

Someone with a Bad Heart. Mr Ross Martin held his own.

Good stuff. I recored clips on William Shatner and Robert Conrad back to back. My brother recored something stupid over it. I feel those fight genera's are not given the credit. In 1965 when I'm with family and friends, we were already aware that Robert Conrad was a black belt. Everybody loved the Wild Wild West. RIP Robert.

Brilliant stunning stunt actor! Remember Mr. Conrad was a boxer. And expert Martial Artist . Enjoyed all his TV series. Ba Ba black encourageed to enlist in the Army. Remarkable Legend and Actor.

jackie chan, indiana jones and others must have been inspired by jim west

Best actor with fighting skills of all time.

Great 😃👍 Series.

Red West, Whitey Hughes , Tommy Huff and Dick Cagney were the main stuntmen. Bob Herron did most of Artie’s stunts.

❤ LOVED ALL THESE

Either with or without music, I still enjoy it.❤ You literally surprised me with the "Thanks Artie".

Robert Conrad used the same stunt team throughout the series.

Great show.. awesome stunts.. Conrad one my favorite actors.up there with Clint Eastwood

This was fantastic and very well done!!👍❤️

Conrad said in a interview that the reason he came off the chandelier and hurt himself was because the stunt man was late to his spot to be crashed into, to stop Conrad’s forward momentum

Belated RIP Robert Conrad, the definitive James West.

WHAT A KICK ASS SHOW.

That was fun. Thanks for making this!🙏🙏🙏🙏🇺🇸

Great work.......

I was about 8 when the series began. I enjoyed the video here but he also had some great stunt fights that were one on one. You left all those out. They were very technical. I remember one where he was by a pool and this other guy challenged him. It seemed longer than a minute and I forget the episode but I bought the entire series on DVD.

Robert Conrad always looked good in those perfectly-tailored outfits and fought like Batman. BIG impact on me as a kid. And could never figure out how James West could move so smooth while carrying what had to be 50 lbs+ of 19th Century cast iron spy gadgets, etc.

He developed a lot of his signature moves during this show, I.e. the double take down😅!!

very interesting thanks for sharing

Thank you for this video

Tight, tight pants!

That was fun.

I enjoyed the video and was always a big fan of The Wild Wild West growing up. I agree with parts of your commentary on a lot of it but also strongly disagree on some of it especially regarding the music on the show. Yes, I wish they had music on all of the fight scenes. That we agree on but when they did have music I think it was some of the best action music of any show ever put on television. You kind of made a comment like it was barely above The quality of Star Trek. Secondly the fight scene featuring the guy playing guitar and singing Buffalo Girl was one of THE best fight scenes ever on the show. The Buffalo Girl music was perfect for that fight scene and NOT annoying. It was a big part of the scene as it was so light while there was a fight going on which was funny and done on purpose. And it was supposed to block the sound of the fight going on in the alley. Plus the part where Jim West comes out after winning the fight and starts singing with the guy again before knocking him out was both hilarious and very satisfying. And when West is fighting the "Fung Fu Tiger Style" villain the reason you have the violin sounding ballroom dance music is because that is what is playing below them in the hole where the villain wants to send James West. Nothing weird about hearing that music during the fight. One other point, during the scene where they were all fighting wearing gunbelts they were jumped and were not expecting to get into a fight. At the end one of them, when he had a chance to he actually reached for his gun but Artie dumped a water bucket on his head.

The house used for the stair fight with Keel is the same house from Big Valley if memory serves me right. That house sure did get used a lot for TWWW and other shows as well.

The best fight scenes I know are without music. Those include Shane, Chuck Norris bar brawl in Code of Silence, all of Bruce Lee's films. The key is how well they are staged. If there is any music, it comes after the fight as a release of tension.

Then there was wild west trouble!

The stagecoach fight reminds me of the fight scene on the train between Sean Connery and Robert Shaw in From Russia With Love.

Avaricious Actuary was 4th season...hence Ross Martin's limp in Juggernaut in the next production (although Juggernaut was shown first and Actuary a few months later).

Star Trek had several different fight soundtracks…Batman was the one that pretty much used the same one(s) over and over again with very little variations

I dare ya to knock this battery of my shoulder.

I don't why they didn't put bruce lee in this cowboy movie. It is so cool

The fight with the black guy first time a draw.. second time they meet West knocks him out.

Could you please tell me the name of the Episode from the 2 fights scenes where Jim loses the 1st one, but wins the 2nd...from 32:02 until 33:55?

Great video! Can you tell me the name of the episode at 37:26? Thanks again for the memories.

36:17 which episode name?

Your Buffalo gal song sounds like it's saying by red West

I thought the karate vs. kung fu fight with Peter Mark Richman was hilariously bad. I never liked Conrad's use of martial arts in the first season, it always used to look herky-jerky and odd to an 11 year old. Especially once Bruce Lee and the Green Hornet came on the scene. Bruce was fast and fluid. I was glad when Bob switched to boxing, it worked much better.

We'll done...

41:16 the night of the cadre

James West was the best I would put my money 💰 on West than Rip 😅😅😅

Contrary to your narration, when I was a child, I nor anyone of my friends, noticed that Jim’s opponents were always the same men. Maybe as an adult you notice now, but oh well. Some adults have a knack for ruining the fun for others / pointing out things that others simply do not care about.

21:10 episode name ?

48:52, which episode?

Shame on you the fight scene where Red West is slammed into the piano is cut.

It was like The Avengers ( as in John Steed) meets Gunsmoke!

Little story about Bob, I went to visit him on the set after work one day and took a friend with me, after getting thru the gate at the studio we finally got to his room. he was coming out of the shower and of course naked as a j bird, as hes getting dressed my friend asks without embarrassing me, "Hey, let me see you work that knife" Holy Crap was I left embarrassed. He was talking about the one that came out of the front of his Boot lo'l
