Remember, all you kids born after 1990, this was made without any computers! All the special effects were either stop-motion or done on a multi-plane camera Mike built from an erector set (Yes, really!)

This was made in 1979 and the speed effects are way better than Smallville.

[Liam Davis]

Just imagine if it went wrong so many times.

I remember seeing this in 1979 and this is the first time that I have seen it since then. Using the technology that was available at the time this is totally awesome. I hope he went on to bigger and better things.

Sooooo many memories... there was a local cinema that played this as an intro before movies when I was a kid. I was always more excited for this than the movie :)

I'm surprised that no one has mentioned yet that the music in the first part of this trailer is from a Russian Cossack dance called "Dance of the Zaporozhe Cossacks". Here in Youtube you can see a video of the dance interpreted by the dancers of the Soviet Army Chorus and Dance Ensemble Group, directed by Gen. Boris Aleksandrov. Just look for the name between quotations above.
