‘The Computer Wore Tennis Shoes’ (1969)
Behold the joy of baby Kurt Russell pretending to be a cyborg. “The Computer Wore Tennis Shoes” is one of many films in the under-appreciated Medfield College Cinematic Universe, as Disney used this fictional school as the basis for a lot of strange sci-fi films including the aforementioned original Flubber duology. In “The Computer Wore Tennis Shoes,” Kurt Russell’s character gets electrocuted by a gambling computer, which gives him superhuman mental abilities. His friends take advantage of this for financial gain, by entering the human-computer hybrid in a general knowledge quiz show. This movie got two sequels; “Now You See Him, Now You Don’t,” in which Russell’s character turns invisible, and “The Strongest Man in the World,” in which one of his friends gets superhuman strength.
