    Storyline

    Edit
    Professor Doug McCadden is in charge of opening his university's latest acquisition - a sealed Egyptian sarcophagus. Opening it reveals an ancient mummy and a mold substance which proves to eat the flesh of anyone touching it. Later, sneaky student Pete Sharpe finds five hidden jewels in the bottom of the casket and distributes them to various co-eds on campus, not realizing the mummy, recently revived with an overdose of x-rays, is bound and determined to reclaim them. McCadden, who has carefully analyzed x-rays taken of the mummy, comes to the reluctant conclusion that it is not what it seems. —Doug Sederberg <vornoff@sonic.net>

      At the 1:10 mark the girl goes into the library. She is wearing a bracelet made up with the alien gem. The alien comes into the library, and the girls starts running. She goes through some doors and runs down a long hallway. The camera shows the alien's point of view coming up behind the girl, then the camera switches to a frontal shot of the girl running away, but in all the frontal shots of the girl the alien is not behind her in the hallway.
    • Quotes

      Prof. Douglas McCadden: Ken, I want you to listen to this, I think I'm onto something. The scroll: it basically tells the story of King Tutankhamen's soldiers discovering a stranger in the desert. Alright, because of his unusual appearance, the Egyptians assumed him to be a god, sent to advise their own god-king. So, King Tut goes forth to greet this deity, whom he calls Ankh-Venharis. Now, listen to this...

      Prof. Douglas McCadden: [Interpreting a scroll found in the mummy sarcophagus] "All-knowing Tutankhamen reached out to touch the weary traveler, and was sorely burned, and afflicted with a disease that consumed his flesh..."

      Prof. Douglas McCadden: [continues interpreting] "Likewise for all servants who laid hands on the boy king, all died, save only the strange traveler himself, who lay near death and without strength but would not pass into the afterworld."

      Prof. Douglas McCadden: So, they simply sealed him alive in a corner of Tut's tomb, along with all the afflicted servants

      Dr. Ken Melrose: Tell me something, are you suggesting that our fungus is the same disease that killed Tut and his servants, and it's been dormant for three thousand years? And now it's not?

      Prof. Douglas McCadden: Suppose it were true.

    Mummies for dummies
    This isn't a great bad mummy movie--there's quite a number of those--but it's bad enough to be fun, if not bad enough to be memorable. It has all the right ingredients, but never quite kicks into a high enough gear (esp. re: violence and sex) to realize its full cheesy potential. Still, the script is verrrry silly, complete with a leap into sci-fi towards the end. I enjoyed seeing Ben Murphy, whose post "Alias Smith & Jones" career I kinda missed; he's still very handsome here, and manages to escape with dignity unscathed--unlike a lot of the other cast members, many of whom are intentionally (or unintentionally) over the top. It was also interesting to see Robert Random, who doesn't make much impression here but is notable for having finally surfaced recently as the nominal male lead in Orson Welles' endlessly delayed "The Other Side of the Wind" (shot a decade earlier, more or less). Anyway, this movie doesn't quite fully capitalize on the trash potential of reawakened-Egyptian-mummy-turns-modern-campus-slasher, but that conceit alone is worth some entertainment value, and "Time Walker" is relatively slick by 80s B-movie standards. It just could have used a bit more energy and outrageousness.
