Don't you hate when a film series randomly changes to Roman numerals?
After time-travel portal hopping, it's a bit of tonal whiplash to go back to a straight S&S film. The cheap television budget removes the rest of its charm. Marc Singer still looks great in the role (he hasn't worn a shirt in three movies), but it's hilarious to me that his right-hand companion Ruh has turned from a black panther to a Bengal tiger to now a fully-fledged lion. Continuity has never been this franchise's strong point, but that's the least of its issues.
This made-for-TV movie marked the end of the film series proper, though it continued on the small screen for three seasons as a syndicated TV series.
