Many years ago, about sometime in the early 1980s, I went with my folks to visit my uncle at his apartment in Bronx, New York and I remember watching a fantasy movie on HBO with an actor who was similarly dressed up as Indiana Jones. Apparently, this movie was released after Raiders of the Lost Ark and it was attempting to cash in on the Indiana Jones craze at the time. I don't remember anything about the characters or the story, let alone, the name of the movie because I was a little tyke at the time, all I do recall was this Indiana Jones wannabe was the protagonist and he was riding in this hovering speeder bike vehicle that resembled the speeder bike seen in Return of the Jedi. He was pursuing the main villain and then his speeder bike began to spin in circles as they both were crossing over a vortex background with colors of orange and yellow. The trail is cold and I am not expecting any miracles, but if anyone has seen this movie, that would be a start.

Does this scene sound familiar to anyone? If so, does anyone know what the name of this obscured movie is?
 
It sounds like Metalstorm The Destruction of Jared-Syn 1983 . It's a godawful 3D science fiction film made on the cheap . I think you'll find that it hasn't gotten better with age.

Yes, I believe that it is! After reading about the movie reviews of Metalstorm The Destruction of Jared-Syn, I am aware that it is not a very good movie, but lately I have been feeling nostalgic, so I'd figure what the heck. Who knows? With the right mind-set, I may enjoy it like in a goofy kind of way and I might even do a movie review in the similar style to Youtube star RedLetterMedia, with humor and wit! LOL! Anyway, thank you for your prompt response! :)
