Interesting facts

Doctor Mordrid is a 1992 American superhero film directed by Albert and Charles Band, and starring Jeffrey Combs. The film was originally intended to be an adaptation of Marvel Comics' Doctor Strange, but the studio's rights expired during pre-production. Full Moon elected to still produce the movie, with the character renamed, and enough other changes made to avoid a lawsuit.

Production

The film was produced by Charles Band and co-directed by Band and his father, Albert Band. It was written by C. Courtney Joyner and released by Full Moon Features. The Bands, which previously made successful B-films such as Robot Jox and Re-Animator, had used their influence to get a license to produce a Doctor Strange film from Marvel Entertainment. Pre-production took long enough that by the start of production, the Bands had lost the license.

Some sources claim the movie was never intended to be based on Doctor Strange. The main character was reportedly going to be called "Doctor Mortalis" when Empire International Pictures had the project, and concept art was created by Jack Kirby.
