Trancers 5: Sudden Deth

Our hero Jack Deth is still stuck in the other dimension playing dungeons and dragons, but this time he is trying to find a way home. throughout the movie he is on a quest to retrieve a jewel to help him get back home. This film plays better than the previous one because they do not have to set up the story of Jack going to the Dark Ages and fighting noble Trancers with swords and magic. This one was more of an adventure film because they are on a quest whereas the one before they are just trying to fight Trancers. This movie is bad, do not get confused with that, but it is more entertaining and the story did not drag as much. This is the last Jack Deth Trancers movie and instead of going away with a roar he goes away with a whimper. Do not even bother watching the 6th Trancers movie because Jack Deth isn't even in it. Indstead his daughter is hunting Trancers. That movie is awful to the point of unwatchable, but as least you can watch Trancers 5 and not feel so bad for yourself because it is just a little waste of your life, unlike the 6th one. Avoid this movie.

Please no more, the fist 3 were good but now there just plane bad, don't bother with anymore. I watched this movie one night when I had nothing to do, And you know what? I wasted my time. The acting in this film was very good but the film itself sux. I hope that PART 6 is better.

4/10

Jack Deth (Thomerson) returns to the Medieval alternate fantasy where Trancers are vampire like and joins force with The Vampire king's son and the Tunnel Rat rebels to save the world from Vampire Trancer rule. Trancers 5 is really, really pushing it in terms of nostalgia and fandom from the earlier movies. The film is aimless and has no real zip to make the story move forward. Action is mediocre per the budget and the only thing this tired sequel has going for it is Tim Thomerson. It's hard to believe that the director of this is currently one of the best directors on TV. I guess that's one good thing to come out of this misbegotten mediocrity. Also the same problem as 4 is that the sword and sorcery era is not nearly as interesting as the Blade Runner inspired first couple and the movie develops no real momentum. This is the type of movie that is best described as "For die hard fans only" which is something part 6 doesn't even get right.

* * out of 4(-Mediocre)

Trancers 5 (1994) is another in the series I recently watched on Tubi for free. The storyline focuses on our good buddy Jack still hunting down Trancers on a planet that is during Medieval Times . His powers remain weak and his inability to capture the prince last picture will open the door for him to regroup and come harder after Jack and his companions. This movie is directed by David Nutter (The Pacific) and stars Tim Thomerson (Dollman), Stacie Randall (Together and Alone), Terri Ivens (Marked for Death) and Mark Arnold (Teen Wolf). The storyline, villain and premise for this movie is probably the worst in the series. The interactions between Jack and his local companion is hilarious the entire movie; however, it doesn't makeup for how bad the villain is written and executed. Overall this is a below average addition to the genre that is only worth viewing for fans of the Trancers series. I'd score this a 4/10.

Unfortunately, a step down from the fourth part here as we see the vampire trancers are now on the run since Jack Deth (Tim Thomerson) and the Tunnel Rats have run them out in this direct sequel to TRANCERS 4. Deth is now looking for a rock within the Castle of Unrelenting Terror that can take him back home to his own universe.

If you really enjoyed part 4 this might be for you, just so you can see how it turns out, but subtracting the credits and the recap I think they totally could have combined the two scripts into one movie that may have ran an hour and 45 minutes or so. They really kind of dragged this one out so they could make another movie. This one is missing that good old Trancers feel that did exist in the first 3 movies I would say. Both Alan Oppenheimer and Stephen Macht return as well. Same writer (Peter David) and director (David Nutter, who went on to direct some popular TV shows like X-FILES, ER and GAME OF THRONES to name a few) as Part 4.
