Hi Lal,
I couldn't remember Sean Connery in it so I bowed to the inevitable and Googled, it turns out that I remember the previous version (1973!) and old Sean was in the 1984 version, apparently the '73 film was a bit of a clunker

though I am happy to see that it may have inspired Monty Python and the Holy Grail, which is surely good enough for anyone. I must add that I saw it as a repeat on TV some years later than 1973, honest!
As for the Time Rift, I'm exiled to the land of the Saes these days but I drop back in every so often (hmm some weird time rift effects 1973 style oddness here maybe? - if only!)
Cheers
