Looks like there must've been some kind of deal between the local Finnish television channel and the Canadian distributor of "Destiny to Order", because a lot of of obscure Canadian movies (including this one by the same guy who wrote and directed "Destiny to Call") were shown on Finnish TV back in the 80s and early 90s.

Okay, I have another thing I'd love someone to identify... This one's an animated short, stop-motion, made in the early or mid-90s. It's sort of a faux Japanese folk tale about a samurai who has to save a girl from a demon. The animation is the made to look as if we're watching a play, so the camera remains stationary, and instead of cutting from scene to another the props behind the characters change all the time. Also, since it's supposed to be a play, it has a on-stage narrator, an old guy with a beard. I don't remember much about the story, except that the samurai beats the demon and gets the girl. The narrator then walks to the stage, takes of a mask he was wearing and reveals that he's not actually an old guy but the samurai of the story, who's joined by the girl he saved. You'd think the story would end there, but all of a sudden the camera moves (for the first time in the movie) much closer to the characters than previously, and we see the demon attack the samurai and the girl. The demon kills both the samurai and the girl in a rather gory manner, and the short ends with that. It's quite a shock to have an ending like that, as the rest of the story was more like a classic children's animation. I think the short won some big price for short films, but I can't remember which one.

― Race Against Rockism (Myonga Vön Bontee), Tuesday, 16 August 2011 17:49 (twelve years ago) link
Oh yeah, and I'm pretty sure the animation was made in the UK or USA, not in Japan.

is it claymation, or what? you could try going through short/animated film fest websites for their winners, although maybe they don't go back that far.

Anyway, while we're on the subject, there's another film I saw as a kid that someone might identify. I think I was quite small then, so this must be from the eighties. It was a sci-fi film set in the future, or maybe even on another planet. It had a small group of heroes trying to reach some goal, possibly escape from somewhere, and of course they had to fight some bad guys along the way. Most of the group were humans or human-like, but it also included one cyborg and one robot reminiscent of R2-D2. I distinctly remember that the cyborg got killed while helping the others to escape. Possibly he was electrocuted. That's all I remember, but maybe someone can identify this movie.

And this one turned out to be Eliminators.
― Tuomas, Tuesday, 30 October 2012 09:50 (eleven years ago) link
This one, however, I've never managed to identify:
2) This one was definitely a TV series: it featured a boy who ended up in space in a rather weird way. Someone or something dislodged his room (but nothing else) from his parents' house, and the room was floating in space. So when he opened the door to his room, all he could see was stars! The series also had a cyborg bad guy with a scary, glowing cyborg eye.

It was on the telly when I was a kid, back in the mid-80s, so it can't be newer than that. For some reason I recall this series being British, but I could be wrong about that. It was definitely in English, though.
