Invisible man series 1970's.

Does anyone remember this 1970's series about a guy who could turn invisible and before anyone says it I'm 100 % sure it was not The Gemini Man?This fella could take off his head as well and I think he might have been played by the blond guy in The Man From Uncle.Does it ring any bells

Sure do. Saw a few eps on Sky Channel when it first came to Ireland in the late 80's. I remember as I was just a little kid that I was actually pretty spooked by the whole look of the guy (the contact lenses, prosthetic masks etc). I'm guessing this idea of a 'false face on an invisible man' (rather than just bandages) might have influenced Darkman later but I'm sure I'll be corrected on that

I remember it very well. It was one of my childhood fantasies to have the same super power.

That's the one!The theme music brought it all back.I was very young when I saw it first in the 70's and I remember being freaked out by the scenes where he took his "head" off.

I remember it and I remember Gemini Man. I think it used to be on Saturdays before Sports Stadium.

iirc the gemini man had a time limit to his invisibility or he'll never come back as visible or something like that

*trivia question - can anyone name the other popular TV series from the 70s that Ben Murphy starred in??

I remember well The Invisible Man.. I enjoyed watching the intro, it really brought me back. I remember The Gemini Man too. My brother loved it, he was always pretending he had one of those watches.:)

Son Of A Vidic

Yes, I also suffered from the illness of thinking I owned a Gemini Man watch.:(

Wasn't he one of the two leads in "Alias Smith and Jones"?

I remember the invisible man. The part was played by actor David McCallum who was also in the Man from U.N.C.L.E.

One of the first programs to use green screen (in those days blue screen) techniques as a special effect, trivia fans!

Jeez, I used to love Gemini Man. Even got myself a digital watch to be like him.....

Used to love the Man From Atlantis too. Both were around at the same time I think.
