Watch thread: TIME WALKER (1982)

Tuning in very late, what'd I miss?

#Monsterdon

Okay, mummy, stolen gems, fungus, and Other Stuff™, got it

#Monsterdon

Ah, your necklace is glowing *and* warm? Well, that seems fine, nothing amiss there.

#Monsterdon

huh, reasonably accurate mention of CDC Atlanta

#Monsterdon

meanwhile, in the plumbing system

#Monsterdon

SURGICAL LASERS MENTIONED

#Monsterdon

So the mummy is dialing the gate, or something

#Monsterdon

this movie's got some great equipment in it, really punching above its weight class.

#Monsterdon

hehe rat actor cuties  

#Monsterdon

"As Cleopatra would say, 'See you later guys'"

I don't think Cleopatra would say that

#Monsterdon

surprise Coneheads mention

#Monsterdon

#Monsterdon

[slideshow continues]

#Monsterdon

that tie is amazingly hideous. I think the worst I've ever seen on #Monsterdon

the mummy is pining for the Moon

#Monsterdon

"What. about. the mummy?!"

Dude, we wanna know too

#Monsterdon

a QUANTUM LEAP

#Monsterdon

I was about to ask why the mummy has green vision but then I remembered it's an alien mummy, so actually yea the movie explained this one

#Monsterdon

oh, mummy ham radio

#Monsterdon

imagine if they revealed that these gems are germanium

you know, for the radio

#Monsterdon

curse this abundance of lab space and its long hallways!

#Monsterdon

quickly, into the elevator shaft, a much more dangerous place!

#Monsterdon

mummy want crystal

#Monsterdon

oh um, okay, the mummy has extremely short-range telekinesis?

good to know

#Monsterdon

the mummy's dial-home device does look pretty dang good for 1982, I'll say that

#Monsterdon

I love that the one guy's overacting is so bad that they had to dub his line

#Monsterdon

holy fuck, the alien mummy gets an incredible magical girl transformation sequence

#Monsterdon

why was there a fungus tho

#Monsterdon

the transformation sequence was worth all the rest of it, I could cry

#Monsterdon #MagicalGirlTransformationsOfMonsterdon #WhyWasThereAFungusTho

mfw I'm watching a mummy tranform into an alien

#Monsterdon

this is the weirdest story from the alien mummy's perspective

> come down to earth
> there's a fungus?
> egyptians are dickheads to me
> get mummified
> wake up three thousand years later
> those dickheads stole my crystals
> get crystals
> get unmummified
> turn into crystal
> refuse to explain

#Monsterdon

I just wanna know why there was a fungus but I guess the fungus was going to be explained in the sequel

bold move to assume people will want to see a second movie when you didn't bother to use writing when making the first one

#Monsterdon

@starringthecomputer does have TIME WALKER in its database, the reactor control computer is an Atari 800

Starring the Computer - Time Walker

Computers in movies and television shows

@starringthecomputer if you'd like some higher-quality stills from TIME WALKER showing the computer, here's a few I just captured.

I notice the DB also does not show this other system which looks to me like it might be a modified Data General Dasher?
