Alexander the Great (1968 release starring William Shatner and Adam West)
Captain Kirk and Bruce Wayne in togas. Such extremely short togas that the skirts on Star Trek [The Original Series] look downright Victorian.
The actors agreed it was fun to make but West says, “... it turned out to be one of the worst scripts I have ever read and it was one of the worst things I’ve ever done."
The 80-year-old Shatner has called the show “‘Combat!’ in drag,” referring to the World War II series that was made by the same producer, Selig J. Seligman.
West said about making it: “Four o’clock in the morning out in the desert of St. George, Utah, where it was mighty cold, they were putting body makeup on us so we could wear our little thongs and ride around on Arabian studs and fight the Persians. You had to see this thing. It was like ‘Land of the Lost.’ But Bill was remarkably effective."
In 1964, a TV pilot was made in which a then unknown-actor Bill Shatner was cast as Alexander the Great and Adam West was cast as the general Cleander. The show was never picked up. In 1968, the pilot was released as a movie in an attempt to cash in on the actors' names. So it's not even a real movie, just a pilot released as a movie.

However, the entire movie is available here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CH9q_76qL5c
Even cursory knowledge of these historical figures lives and the jokes write themselves.
Mix in Bill's daisy dukes and free-wheelin' panty shot and I don't know how this "movie" could NOT exist as a Rifftrax.
(Still, it's better than 2010 "Clash of the Titans". That's not really saying much, though.)

It’s 1963, not 1968
