Silly Sequel Prince Albert (Richard Curnock), his son Richard Stewart (Michael York) and his assistant Rachel Tudor (Laurie Holden) are traveling in USA to exhibit the family treasure, including the legendary sword Excalibur, and raise money to bring monarchy back to England. Out of the blue, a man named Tristan (Joel Bissonnette) and his gang steal Excalibur and Prince Albert is found dead. Richard explains to Jake Cardigan (Greg Evigan) that Excalibur is the symbol of power in England and need to be recovered. Jake and his partner Sid Gomez (Eugene Clark) travel to London expecting to recover Excalibur and find that the Teklords have projects for the next Governor of England.

"TekWar: TekLab" is a silly sequel of "Tekwar" franchise, with the story of groups of unbalanced or corrupt people fighting for power. The plot is confused, with bad locations and is only worthwhile watching for viewers that are following the sequence of movies, despite the names of Michael York and Laurie Holden in the cast. My vote is six.

Title (Brazil): "Teklab"

After 2 TV movies with decent production and obvious budgets, we finally get the essence of '90s TV sci-fi filtered through the lens of William Shatner's warped mind and whatever they had lying around from previous films to shoot with. The first 25 minutes or so take place around elaborate sci-fi sets with medieval armor and heraldry strewn throughout, probably on loan from another production. Then suddenly we're in a mid-21st-century England that is indistinguishable from the England of the time the show was made. All pretense that this is the future vanishes, except for a brief moment in a British guy's office where we can see skyscrapers through a window. Outside, I assure you, there are no skyscrapers. This is barely science fiction.
