Sunday Cinema: Timerider – The Adventure of Lyle Swann (1982)
A motorcyclist rides his bike through a time warp right into the Wild West. The bad news: apparently it’s when bad SciFi was invented. Stars Fred Ward, Belinda Bauer, Peter Coyote, and Richard Masur.
Yes, clearly the ’80s were the start of the Syfyositization of SF cinema.
I have an affection for this film, primarily due to my loving it as a 14-year-old. It was a staple of our all-night movie marathons when it came out on video. I mean, how cool was it to have a motorcycle in the Old West?!?
