|
i have two movies thats messing with my head...
one is about a kid flying his attic room as if it was a space ship, using his desk lamp as a control of some sort...
the other is about aliens or something hiding under sand, controling people via some long needle inserted into the persons neck...
the tv show is about a person riding a motor bike in the future.
he is wearing some kind of suit, that from a later episode i learn could have some sort of neural interface (he gets trapped inside the suit after a malfunction or something and is walking around inside a dream world).
he had some sort of aiming device that would slide down over the front of the helmet, allso able to shoot some sort of laser. his main weapon was a club, similar to the one cops use, that could allso work as a firearm.
the bike was packing some sort of minigun/chaingun or something like that. the show may well be early 90's for all i know...

I'm not positive on the two movies, but the TV show you're talking about is indeed from the early 1990s and one I used to watch quite a bit.
It's called "Super Force" and it was quite cool. It was something of a superhero show, with the main character obtaining a supersuit of sorts that he wore and rode on his motorcycle, fighting crime. He also had a black dude that worked with him and was kinda the technician of the group, keeping the bike and suit working well.
It was set in the future too.
"It's the year 2020 and the world has changed."
(After 15 years or so, I still remember that opening line in the theme song!)
There has been a video release of the pilot, by the way, if you're interested in reliving some memories.

Here's an episode guide listing.

And a few more pictures from the series.

Great show!

that first movie you described may be Disney's "Flight of the Navigator". I've never seen it myself, so I can't say for sure. You can check this thread for more info on that.

Other possibilities that it might be (at least other 80s movies dealing with space) I would guess maybe "Space Camp" or "The Last Starfighter".
