So google is being less than helpful. I'm sure the staggering amount of bad scifi movies out there doesn't help things, but still, how could you let me down, google?
I saw this movie once on tv and can't remember the name. I'm pretty sure it was made in the 80's and it was also ridiculous. Going from general memory here:
There is this soldier lying on what I assume is a doctor's table. There is some higher rank guy talking to him about this mission (that the soldier volunteered for?). Basically, the soldier is going to take this pill which will send him to another planet (O_o ???). I don't remember if it was named specifically, but it was red and Mars like so...Mars.
The soldier takes the pill and wakes up on Mars where he is promptly captured and enslaved by some ugly aliens. Also, for some reason, the guy has super human jumping abilities... Anyway, he eventually is freed and theres this princess he needs to save for some reason, and a power station that some bad guy/guys are trying to destroy that will mess up the planet, and I'm sure some other wacky plot elements that I'm leaving out.
I was only wondering cause I saw a movie trailer recently that looks like a remake of this movie and I can't think of the name.
Never mind I found it.
I was way off on the release date. lol
It was just such a b-movie that my brain decided it must have been from the 80s.
The movie was A Princess of Mars...it came out in...2009 rofl.
The trailer I saw was John Carter of Mars and both movies seem to be based on the same book.
Turns out google didn't fail me, I just wasn't searching correctly.

What's funny is that I was going to mention it, but you said "80s movie".
