Knightriders
(1981) Starring Ed Harris with a cameo apperance
from Stephen King.

Saturn 3
( 1980 ) Starring Farrah Fawcett, Kirk Douglas and Harvey Keitel.
Tagline: Some*thing* is wrong on Saturn 3. (that is the best tagline
ever.)
This movie took a little time to get going, but once it did there were
no disappointments. The scene where Kirk wrestles Harvey in the nude
is priceless.
> SHORT
CIRCUIT II (1988). I would not recomend this film for children because
of language and the sad scene at the end where number five gets beaten
senseless and left for dead (thankfully he gets fixed up at the nearest
radio shack).
