Hi all, trying to remember the name of low budget movie. My memory of it is somewhat vague but bits that I do recall is a man is transported to a different dimension, swords and sorcery type I think. He befriends a small group of good people, one of them had a small gum ball type sphere that could start fires when placed on the wood.

Sorry but that's all I remember. If anyone out there recognises any of this I would appreciate it.

Did you know that in the 1980s movie PREDATOR the titular character was not originally portrayed by Kevin Peter Hall. It was in fact Jean-Claude Van Damme donning a much more insect inspired full body suit before he left the production which then led to the recasting and redesigning of the famous hunter.

it's ok if not Masters of the Universe 1987 , but could be close to your movie ?



My brain is a pop culture emporium.
Maybe Flash Gordon (1980) or one of the Beastmaster films. Been awhile since ive seen either of them. My first 2 guesses were MOTU & Krull. And I have to admit...exploding "peas" sounds disturbingly familiar lol
