Trivia
Directors Albert Band and Charles Band had originally conceived this film as an adaptation of the Marvel Comics character Doctor Strange, for which they had obtained the license from Marvel Entertainment. However, the pre-production phase took so long that by the time filming started, they lost the rights to the name. Instead of scrapping the film altogether, the script was rewritten into an R-rated standalone film.

Goofs
The device Mordrid places on the scroll/map to take some kind of reading is being used incorrectly. The device is a navigational sextant. It is used outside, to measure the angular distance between to far-off visible objects as an aid in celestial navigation. Placing it on the map as he does would provide no useful information whatsoever.

Could have been a great franchise...

Back in the early Nineties, direct-to-video specialists Full Moon Entertainment unsuccessfully tried to secure the movie rights for Marvel Comics' Doctor Strange, but having been thwarted, they just shrugged their shoulders, tweaked the script and made DOCTOR MORDRID instead. And I'm glad they did. Despite being low budget, it's clear that a respectable amount of money was spent - there are impressive sets, props and some delightful stop motion animation courtesy of David Allen and Randall Cook. Jeffery Combs plays the title character, and it's great to see him in a heroic leading role. Brian Thompson provides some reliable villainy, and there's fine support from Yvette Nipar (a talented and extremely pretty actress who sadly never had the career she deserved) as the police consultant and neighbour who become Mordrid's sidekick and romantic interest. Considering the numerous and seemingly never-ending PUPPET MASTER, TRANCERS, EVIL BONG, GINGERDEAD MAN and KILLJOY movies that Full Moon has relentlessly churned out, it's a crying shame they never made a single sequel to this.
