40 Years Ago Today

Daniel LaRusso defeated two time reigning champion Johnny Lawrence to win the 1984 All-Valley Karate Tournament

An epic moment in sports history. 

Timestalkers

Time Stalkers is a harmless and entertaining made for TV movie from back in 1987. A historian, played by William Devane, purchases a photo from the old West that seems to feature a modern weapon.  From this,  he decides the picture can best be explained by time travel. Naturally.  This earns him the attention of a fellow professor 600 years in the future, who enlists him in preventing a rogue time traveler from altering history. 

Look,  there's enough plot holes in this film to sail the sixth fleet through with room to spare. The special effects are rough to watch,  laughable even,  and the climatic fight is ludicrous.

But. . .

Somehow,  even given all that,  it was pretty entertaining in a harmless, bubblegum way. I wouldn't recommend seeking this out,  but if you stumble across it and have 90 minutes to spare, you could do worse.
