User Reviews

Loved it as a kid!

I think I originally saw this movie when I was 10 or 11 and I loved it! I watched it everyday for like a whole summer. Now that I am an adult the movie is so-so but it sure brings back some memories! I would recommend this movie to watch if you are bored on a rainy day and need something to do. It's not great, it's not very believable, and it is a very low budget but it does have its moments.

This movie would have been much better with proper acting, more money, and someone that could properly edit a script. As it stands it reminds me of a lot of those 80's adventure type movies.

Here is a brief summary of the movie...

This bad guy decides he wants to take the prototype of a freshly created time machine and go back in time to take out the relative of the person(s) that were part of the time machine team. I am not sure why he wanted to do this...could be he didn't like them or just wanted to make his own Time Machine and get all the credit. Not even sure if it says in the movie.

The good people decide they have to stop this! and bring in a team of people to help blend in and make their way back in time to follow bad guy. The inventors daughter decides she too will bring him back!

They head back in time to the 90's get chased by this cop, bad guy fails and heads further back in time.

The team follows. So does the cop.

They all end up in England or something when I think when they were in the 90's they were in the United States.

The team gets split up. 1 person dresses up like the bride to this evil tyrant (who is none other than bad guy they are looking for!)

The daughter finds some clothes and meets this oh so handsome knight and tells him she is looking for this Red Duke (who is a relative of her family and none other than knight boy himself and the target of bad guy! whew!)

FINALLY everything gets to the knitty gritty and all is well.

There is also twoish love stories going on... maybe three.

I hope you all enjoy this B movie from the late 80's.
