remember this cartoon show? there were so many things stolen from star wars, but it was so entertaining! the artwork was awesome, better than most adventure cartoons (it was NOT made by Hannah-Barbera as many think) and had cool bad guys like Gemini. I always thought Thundarr would make a great movie, but had a hard time deciding what to do with the obviously ripped-off Sunsword. what do you guys think? live action or cartoon?

Live action!!Yea.... and they can get Kevin Sorbo to be Thundarr since he 's the only i think Stargate SG1 didn't pick up when andromeda was shut down. LOL

Was Thundarr the guy from planet Quasar?

I have faint memories of it from USA's Cartoon Express... I think...

I'm 29, BTW. [:)]



EDIT-

Just did some looking around, and I don't think that Thundarr is from Quasar. Its Zandor from Herculoids thats from Quasar. [B)]

i remember something about quasar, and there was a big and lil glob of goo stuff with eyes, and a flying, (kinda looked like dino, from the flintstones) dragon thing that shot ray beams from his tail and head. i remember something about the kid, he had a slingshot, and shot power orbs or something like that. and there was a big thing like a bgfoot that shot a power crossbow thing. its been some time since i seen that show. thats what i remember for now of it.

thundarr was 1980-1982 plus reruns.
you're thinking of either the Herculoids or Dungeons and Dragons cartoons. I think that Quasar business was from Blackstarr, but I may have it wrong. The guy who has 1/2 of the power sword and the bad guy has the other half?
best things about Thundarr: artwork artwork artwork, setting, title sequence of earth's destruction
worst things about Thundarr: acting, music (blaring trumpets throughout)
I think this would make an awesome cartoon movie with a little retooling. I think live action would tempt too many directors to go CGI-crazy as they all seem to do these days.
I'm 32 and I bet those of you who are 10-15 years younger would look at Thundarr and go "This looks like every sci-fi adventure I've ever seen all rolled into one cartoon." but then I bet you watch the whole episode! Robbed guys riding on giant flying bats, Rat people in hotrod motorcycle gangs, the Statue of Liberty coming to life and destroying everything with her torch, it was awsome! Hell of a lot better than the Superfriends.

i knew there was a bigfoot lookin thing in thundarr. when i was thinking of the quasar deal, i did mix up a bit of herculoids in there. guess the only one i got close was the bigfoot critter. man, its been a long time since i seen that show. old age settin in. lol

Kevin Sorbo couldn't do it. He took the andromeda job cause his doctor said no more physically active rolls. (at least thats what i heard) i wouldn't be supprised if there were fight scenes in andromeda, but nothing compared to herculies.

An old animated movie (1985)of a slave turned hero who finds a magic sword and a way to freedom for all the oppressed slaves....some cool ships as I recall....very SW like.

This animated sci-fi thriller resembles the premise of the Star Wars trilogy, featuring Orin, a hardworking miner who stumbles upon a powerful sword that reveals the existance of a whole new world.

Thundarr had 2 companions: 1 Princess Ariel the sorceress and 2: Ookla the Mok. The trio escaped from the lair of the wizard Sabian, who was also Ariel's Step-father. They roam a post-apocalyptic future version of earth defeating wizards and demons as they encounter them.

Please don't post in old threads like this. It gets people annoyed and thinking that you might be a SPAMbot.
