Wow...flashback. Saw this when it came out in '83. My friend and I went because we were intrigued by the 3D (which was in the throes of a mini-comeback), and ended up laughing at virtually the whole movie. It was trying so hard to be Raiders and it just so wasn't.
@DarkRider69 I agree! This film had quite the life on videotape! Back in the day when you would rent 5 or 6 movies at a time, Treasure of the Four Crowns would often get rented as 'filler' along with titles such as "Megaforce", "Mad Mission". and "Time Bandits". Oh the days of video stores, free popcorn, and an annoying plug for "Tape Protection" for an extra 50 cents!
@DejectedPanda By TITLES only! Just looking back to my youth when my parents would rend a VCR for the weekend, along with a number of titles. They'd usually rent one or two "Blockbusters" or "Oscar-worthy" films and then fill the slate with some of the above titles just to keep us kids quiet!
My sister and I used to watch the hell out of this movie - almost every weekend in the mid-eighties, as I recall. My parents had taped it from HBO and I'm sure they wished they hadn't.
Thanks so much for posting. I haven't seen this movie since it first came out when I was about 8. It's fun to go back and see these again now that I am much older.
I remember watching this many years ago HBO/Cinemax. Too bad I missed it when they did play this in a theater. So strange with its obvious wire effects and portrayal of supernatural forces.. yet still fun to watch. They should try and remaster this for Blu Ray 3D. Also Ennio Morricone score adds to it well. That fall into the shaft then sci-fi tunnel scene at 8:40 I still can't figure out that part. Thank you for posting the "awesome" parts.

@jayanxiety Did you just lump Time Bandits in with Megaforce and this movie?
