Trancers Movie Review

A psycho zombie cult of the future goes back in time to 1985 to meddle with fate. Only Jack Deth, a longtime Trancer terminator, can save mankind. Low-budget Blade Runner imitation, with widely scattered clever touches. One is the gimmick of time-travel via a drug that injects one's consciousness down “the genetic bridge” to the bodies of distant ancestors (hence Jack Deth's tough-talking superior officer shows up in the Reagan era as a tough-talking little girl). Followed by four sequels. AKA: Future Cop.

1984 (PG-13) 76m/C Tim Thomerson, Michael Stefoni, Helen Hunt, Art LaFleur, Telma Hopkins, Richard Herd, Anne Seymour; D: Charles Band; W: Danny Bilson, Paul DeMeo, Phil Davies; C: Mac Ahlberg. VHS, Beta, LV LIV, VES
