Being 1982, we've got a stellar lineup, including comedian Mel Brooks, Superman's Christopher Reeve, and another comedian, Chevy Chase. And remember, this is 1982, so all are at the height of their powers.
Reeve and Chase are quite mean. Though, being 1982, that's understandable. Brooks, on the other hand, issues a line that should be inscribed on the gates to video game land.
