more of a King Arthur/Sword in the Stone ripoff
Precisely! And it's a fun look at the first generation of film CGI, which looks more like Missile Command than anything else. My favorite character in that movie, even more than Robert Preston's fast-talking swindler/recruiter, is Grig, the "gung-ho iguana". The actor (Robert O'Herlihy--is that right? the same guy who was the CEO in Robocop) does a really good job of conveying expression through the rubber mask, and I love his wordless vocalizations in response to Lance Guest's outbursts.
Yes! That's probably it. Now 2% of my brain is free to try to recall something more useful.

OK, another '80s B-Movie trivia question...
What was the movie where a bunch of humans from another planet go on a desperate search for water? They fight off some aliens along the way - at some point there's this weird time distortion thing, where things speed up and slow down... the hero and the girl have a baby during the climactic fight, and because of the time distortion the baby grows up into a man and joins in the fight.
Eventually they find water... on Earth!
ita, I liked A Walk In The Clouds, but it's a little schmoopy. Plus, Keanu. Looking hot, I think, but YKeanuMV.
Oh, god, I hate Keanu. Just remembered which one that was. I enjoyed
Point Break
but deleted it off the machine without a second though.
A Walk in the Clouds
will soon follow.
Is The Howling the one
No, that's WOLFEN. THE HOWLING is the one
where a shrink (Patrick MacNee!) has a psychiatric retreat/colony/commune where he's attempting to help the werewolves integrate themselves in society and fight the urge to kill. Lots of good jokes at the expense of 70s/80s So-Cal self-help/"shrink as guru" types, but it also delivers the werewolf movie goods (it beat AMERICAN WEREWOLF IN LONDON by about a year and had very similar transformation effects).

Don't knock it, brenda. It would help ours when the niece and nephew visit.

It's either that or keep them inside the firewall....
I enjoyed Point Break but deleted it off the machine without a second though.
Worth seeing for the foot chase scene where Patrick Swayze (in a tux and a Ronald Reagan mask) slows a persuing Keanu down by throwing a large dog at him, if nothing else, but, yeah, not one I'd call a keeper.
