The only "original" segment was the first, directed by Landis. A racist businessman (Vic Morrow) is inexplicably transported in time, being mistaken for a Jew (Morrow was, ironically, actually Jewish) in Nazi-occupied Germany, an African American at a Ku Klux Klan rally in the Deep South, and as Vietnamese during the Vietnam War. It is loosely based on the original Twilight Zone episode "A Quality of Mercy". The segment feels truncated, even without knowing the accident that occurred during its filming (see below).
