Strongly influenced by the Doctor Who (1963) Key to Time story-arc. See The Ribos Operation: Part One (1978).
The Key to Time story-arc from Doctor Who (1963) is a strong influence behind Josh Kirby: Time Warrior and it's story. In it's 16th season, The 4th Doctor (Tom Baker), K9 (John Leeson) and new companion Romana (Mary Tamm) set out across time and space on a quest to search for all 6 segments of the Key to Time and prevent the Key to Time from being possessed by the evil Black Guardian. Josh Kirby: Time Warrior is the story of 20th century teenager Josh Kirby joining Irwin 1138 and Azabeth Siege on their quest across time to search for the six pieces of the Nullifier and prevent Doctor Zoetrope from possessing all 6 pieces.
Was originally meant to be the second chapter in the series.
Bumped from April 1995 video release.
For union reasons, no scenes were shot of Corbin Allred doing his bike stunts at the start of the film.
