I love the Sea Hunt series featuring Mike Nelson as the consummate professional diver, ever cool and always in control. In this episode, Mike (Lloyd Bridges), armed with a speargun, sneaks up on a bad guy with a lever gun. In an interesting series of events, the poacher gets the speargun and Mike ends up with the rifle. The picture above is Mike’s face as he pulls the trigger and realizes the rifle is empty. He then barely escapes a shot from the speargun. The bad guy then runs and leaps off a dock seemingly into a boat. He misses the boat and lands in the water.
I cannot explain it, but Mike’s face here and the subsequent jumping and missing the boat send me into hysterical laughter each time I watch it. If I’m having a bad day, S1E16 are good medicine for me.
