Please help Jerry and I with a movie title!!!!

Post by torren »

When I was younger I watched a movie that was rotoscoped (like Fire and Ice or Heavy Metal) about a guy who was on a spaceship that had a female personality and he had a light-saberesque sword. He had to rescue a Princess or the like and crashed (landed maybe) on a planet where there were these cyborg creatures who wanted to harvest his organs to use for themselves. I can't remember to much other than than that and it is driving me crazy and I would like to watch it and show Jerry that I am not totally crazy and this movie does exist.
Can you all please help me to find the name?!!!
thanks for your help

GREAT GOOGLIEMOOGLIE!!!

Heavy Metal (1981)? http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0082509/

Here is an IMDb list of all films with "rotoscoping" in their description:

Not Heavy Metal.

I think I saw the film mentioned as well but the name escapes me.

Try this: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0095525/ Also known as Light Years.

Or this one: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0090065/

Though, neither one were rotoscope that I recall.

I'm pretty sure this is the one, and you're misremembering 3D for rotoscoping.

"Please help Jerry and ME with a movie title." :P

Yeah, the movie sounds familiar, but I'm terrible with names. I can't even remember the name of that movie with, uh, what's-his-name -- that guy from that Bill & Ted movie. The one with computers ruling the world and everybody's dreaming. I keep thinking "Belt," but that doesn't make any sense.... :?
