Saw this when I was much younger, was called "The Spaceman and King Arthur" when it was on TV in the UK.
I guess I must have been mentally disabled. Saw this when I was 8.5... of course nowhere near STAR WARS great, but being a fairly naive 70's kid with a good life, this was enjoyable and harmless.

The whole point of Mark Twain's "A Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur's Court", which was updated and adapted into this movie, was the story of a man who didn't travel in time, so much as traveled to another world where fantasies were true. Twain fully knew the legends of King Arthur were spurious and that, at the least, he was a 6th century person who, if he even existed was probably not a king. So, any historical inaccuracies in this movie are irrelevant.
