Unaired Pilot: Heat Vision and Jack

Back in the day (you know, like 2002) if you wanted to watch an unaired pilot and you weren't a fancy Hollywood insider, then you had to rely on the perfect combination of a sticky fingered crew member and ebay. But no more! Behold, friends, the power of youtube.

In 1999 Ben Stiller directed the pilot of Heat Vision and Jack, a Six Million Dollar Man/Knight Rider spoof that starred Jack Black, as a former astronaut made super smart by accidental close contact with the surface of the sun, and Owen Wilson, as the voice of a talking motorcycle. Yeah, it's pretty damn awesome.
If Ron Silver playing Ron Silver, the actor-NASA trained killer hot on Jack's trail isn't enough to make you tune in, then how about Christine Taylor as a pouty Sheriff who rocks shorts and hot-rollered hair without even a wink of irony?

Seriously. http://youtube.com/watch?v=6lWgXDOAJ5s You won't be sorry.
