Future Cop 2

Writers Jack Canson and Charles Band did a fair job in continuing the storyline from the 1984 first movie "Trancers". I have to say that I was definitely as entertained in this 1991 sequel titled "Trancers II" as I was in the first movie. So thumbs up to the writers for that accomplishment.

It was nice to see returning actors and actresses from the first movie return to reprise their characters for this 1991 sequel, such as Tim Thomerson, Helen Hunt, Telma Hopkins and Art LaFleur. And the sequel brought in some familiar faces with the likes of Jeffrey Combs, Barbara Crampton and Richard Lynch. For me, it was a blast to see Combs and Crampton in the movie, I have to admit that.

Visually then "Trancers II" was okay. It wasn't a movie that used as many special effects as in the previous movie, oddly enough. But it still worked out fair enough.

An okay movie, for sure, though I doubt that I will ever return to watch it a second time however.

My rating of director Charles Band's 1991 sequel "Trancers II" lands on a five out of ten stars.

If you have seen the original and liked it and said to yourself Hey, there are a bunch more of them. sweet. I'm pretty sure they are going to be as good as the original. Nah. You can tell that this sequel even has less money then the original because most of it was shot in and outside of some mansion and "The Future" looks like an empty warehouse. But anyways, this time around Jack Deth has to stop Whistlers ?brother? from making trancer soldiers and taking over the world. The only redeeming factor in this one is that Jack Deth's long lost dead wife returns (played by a very attractive Megan Ward) and that causes problems with Jack and his current wife (played by Helen Hunt). The love triangle is funny and Tim Thomerson was a stand up comedian in his early days and you can tell because he has good comedic timing. The ending is kind of ridiculous but you do not hold it against them because the type of movie it is. It is a low budget B movie straight to video sequel from a low budget b movie film. For what it is, it is a solid B film with a solid B cast (even though Helen Hunt is about to get huge). Good action, simple story, enjoyable time, what more could you ask for.

I really enjoyed this film it was great, even better then the first one. It was great action,scifi,and even a bit of comedy. this film was done in such an excellent way, well done to all involved. I strongly suggest you see this film if you havent already.

10/10

"Trancers II" is pretty good for a sequel but lacks creativity that the low budget "Trancers" did. It has all the original characters from part one but is basically a retread. Check out the sequel "Trancers III: Deth Lives", it's much better.

Tim Thomerson once again did a great job playing Jack Deth. Helen Hunt was back for this one as well as Megan Ward who was very talented as Jack's first wife. This movie was a lot of fun to watch. It introduced the TCL Chamber. I loved this movie. The Jack Deth character deserves a lot of credit. The Trancers series must continue.
