Title	Timerider: The Adventure of Lyle Swann (1983)
Runtime	1 hr. 33 min.
Studio	MGM
Genres	Action and Adventure
Description	Given the off-the-wall premise in this sci-fi western that a motorcyclist rides his bike through a time warp right into the Wild West, into the middle of a gang of outlaws, and cannot figure out what happened the glitches and gaps in the plot fit right in with the spirit of the adventure. When the outlaw Reese (Peter Coyote) catches sight of the macho bike, he decides that several hundred horsepower are better than his one and is out to rustle the vehicle any way he can. Unfortunately, the bike does not run on high-octane hay an issue that bites the dust when pistol-packing Clair (Belinda Bauer) appears on the scene.

I have an original copy of this movie on VHS I recorded off cable. In 2001 I bought a DVD copy from Anchor Bay and it did not have the original ending, well at least the part where Peter Coyote's character gets chopped by the tail rotor of the helicopter. However, the film onHulu does have the original ending. Wonder where they got it? See 5 other replies

And who knew that, in 1875, BUZZARDS sounded like HAWKS! Try to not step on any butterflies!

Not only did you not remember the title, you didn't remember the plot very well either. Not trying to be harsh, just telling the truth.

It's too bad they didn't do more with the "Remo Williams, the Destroyer" movies. On second thought, they kind of ruined it compared to the books, so maybe it's not such a bad thing! See 5 other replies

My great-great-grandma was hot also. In the 1800's.

If Hollowwood writers had made people of that era speak and act authentically, this movie would have had some potential. But, talent-less and unimaginative hack writers portray women as sluts and men as dumb beasts- relying on stereotypes that are sellable to ape-people like themselves.
Too many Hollowwood writers, being talent-less and unimaginative, result to corny and tired stereotypes that cannot hold the attention of adults.
