Interesting facts

  • Filmed in: Vancouver

Time Runner is a 1993 Canadian science fiction action film directed by Michael Mazo, starring Mark Hamill, Rae Dawn Chong and Brion James. Hamill plays a 21st century soldier who is unwittingly teleported to 1992, and teams up with a scientist (Chong) to prevent an alien race from gaining an advantage in its future war against mankind.

Production

The film's working title was In Exile. It was pitched to producers Lloyd Simandl and John Curtis of North American Releasing and sister company Excalibur Pictures by special effects artist Greg Derochie, who had worked on their previous project, Xtro II. Like that film, it was originally more of a creature feature, but Curtis steered the project into its eventual direction.

Filming was originally slated for late spring or July 1991. It instead took place from September 12 to October 17, 1991. The Vancouver metropolitan area (where North American Pictures was based) provided urban settings, with Senator Neila's political rally filmed at the Plaza of Nations on September 24. A sixty person high school marching band was shuttled on short notice from the neighboring U.S.
