You'd kill a guy 'cause he wants to quit?
Jake Edwards: I don't kill people. What do you think I am? We blow off your kneecaps. Give you a little wooden board with roller-skate wheels for the rest of your life.

"The Right Hand of God" marks a rare pairing of the acting Stockwell brothers -- lean, wiry Dean and bloated, bearish Guy. The script doesn't allow them to play much off each other but seeing them together, even casually, adds a note of lustre to this episode which is built on a contrived but likable mixture of gangsters, pugilists, and faith-filled nuns. What's more, there's an engaging "Marilyn Monroe" turn by Teri Copley as well as one of the last appearances by Nancy Kulp of "Beverly Hillbillies" fame. Perhaps the chief attraction here, however, is a generous helping of "beefcake." In the boxing ring and afterwards, in his dressing-room, 34-year-old Scott Bakula gets to show off to good effect his bare torso, complete with hair-covered pecs and a coating of hard-earned sweat. There's also a glimpse of the boxer whose life he's temporarily usurping -- played by an even more hirsute Michael Strasser -- and then there's the climactic match against a boxer played by Roger Hewlett who provides another generous helping of male pulchritude in beefcake-form. And Hewlett's white! Hey, two white guys battling for a boxing championship! Is this a fantasy or what?
