Name that movie!

[Pyrex]

This has been bothering me and I thought I'd try tapping the collective wisdom here and see if the answer can be found. I only remember a few fragments about the movie and can't figure it out...

A looong time ago I saw a vaguely Indiana Jones'ish movie.

The protagonists were trying to collect some magical spheres that needed to be opened with a special key.

Midway through, there's a scene where (I think) the key causes a whole bunch of stuff to levitate and float around the room. Effects were pretty hokey, I remember seeing the fishing line holding stuff in the air...

The end of the movie has the hero pulling a Mission Impossible, climbing across the ceiling of the treasure vault to reach a statue holding two of the orbs.

He unlocks them both, grabs one in each hand and it melts half his face (or something, not too clear about this part...).

I'm not sure it was ever in the theaters, it may have been like a made-for-Cinemax or something...
Anyone have any ideas?

I'll hazzard a guess that it might be, Treasure of the Three Crowns, It comes fairly close to what you're mentioning.

That's my guess, too. I used to love that movie. In 3-D, no less!

(I think it was Four Crowns, though.)

While I've got you all- can anyone identify a movie from around the same time period (early 80s). It was about a computer programmer guy whose girlfriend was kidnapped by a demon or something, and he had to travel to the fantasy world to save her. His only companion was his computer program named Kal, which took the form of a wristband in the fantasy world, and it could do things like cast lighting bolts.

I think it's Treasures of the Four Crowns as well.

Huh, I never knew it was in 3D.

That certainly looks like it though.

THE DUNGEONMASTER!!!!

That's the one! Thanks! (You'd think, being a D&D player, I'd remember a title like that.)

Yeah, I can't blame you for forgetting the title. I've done everything in my power to block that movie from my memory, but obviously it wasn't enough.

No way, that was a great movie!...

Well, ok, maybe 'great' is a bit of a stretch... ok, a BIG stretch. It was enjoyable though. I saw it again, maybe a dozen years ago. As I recall it was still a fun. Of course, I'm getting older, memory may be shot.

Is this the same movie where at the end, they are trying to get to a statue by not touching the floor? They make it to the statue, which is also trapped, I remember a "snake" coming out of the statue and biting one of the people. Is this the same movie I vaguely remember?
