I wonder how these NARROW minded people ever managed to live more than a few days.. This may be a movie but people like this should be shot, Narrow mindedness kills anything !

This is truly awful! I won't even go into how badly (and ill-advisedly) it strays from HG Wells' source material, but even the 'history' of the witchcraft trials is wrong; no witches were ever burned in colonial America (hung, stoned or drowned). This is a "Buck Rogers" version of the classic story; complete with ugly disco clothes and cheap looking photography. Wow... amazing.

Voyagers! a time travel show from 1982, must have been directly inspired from this scene . In episode 4 'Agents of Satan' they help Abiah Folger, Ben Franklin's mother in the same manner. And the Voyagers accused of being demons. Phineas Bogg the older time traveler is put on the stake to burn too! Even their time machine the omni was accused of being a tool of the devil. Interesting. Bogg gets out because Jeffrey his partner swipes the omni in time and they disappear. Cool post!

So I guess the machine can move through space, too? Otherwise it doesn't explain his going from 1690s New England to appearing inside a mountain in the mid-19th century.

@silvereagle2061 that's exactly what I thought! :)

I am sure that that's exactly how the Puritans spoke. Their English was modern not old King's English, with no accent! Truly awful! This was the typical garbage that the networks offered back in the '70's BC, before cable. Everything is high drama with low production value, and that dialog, man, truly brutal. But still it has a kind of cheesy charm that can be enjoyed. It's still crap, but, it's fun crap to watch just to immerse yourself in 1970's cheese!!! Stay cheesy my friends!
A paperclip and all he can do is pick the lock. MacGyver could have taken that paperclip and built a tank with it and crashed thru the wall .

If he is in California how come there are Pilgrims? Does the machine stay in the same place like in all the other versions or does it change physical locations?
