Summary: Timerider, a cult classic, lost in time
Review: This is one of those movies that ALMOST made it to cult status. But it is also one of those in which anybody that has seen it wants to see it again.

I agree that one thing drug out to much is that Lyle was far too stupid about what happened to him. While I have traveled extensively through Mexico, there is at least SOMETHING modern about even the smallest village, even if it is just Levi jeans and ADIDAS sneakers. When he started to realize something was wrong, why did he not remember what he read on the plaque of the time machine?

But being a fan of alternate reality and time travel, I do enjoy this movie a lot. The idea is believeable, the paradox was well placed and believeable, and it did not get to far into the technical as to bore the viewers. I strongly recommend this movie to anybody that likes alternate history.

My original copy is a VHS copy dubbed from my Beta original right before it died. This DVD release is long overdue.

PS: For about 2 years after this movie was released, it did have a Midnight Movie viewership in the Los Angeles area. This is where I first saw it, in a theatre that also showed Mad Max, Rocky Horror, and Heavy Metal.

Summary: This video has been edited!!!
Review: Very disappointed! This video has been edited to qualify for a PG rating. I noticed at least 2 incidents of bad dubbing for language, plus a key sequence at the end was completely omitted. After watching this version, did you wonder why Peter Coyote's character quit shooting at the helicopter??? Well, that's because in the ORIGINAL version, he came to a bloody end. This version has that sequence edited out completely, leaving you wondering what happened to his character. I REALLY hate edited movies - Ted Turner, are you listening?
