    They're back, and this time they're refined.

    The Trancers have returned and now they are being trained in military fashion.DIRTY HARRY'S ANDREW ROBINSON plays an excellent col. mutha, I THINK.Jack is sent down the line to stop col. mutha, will he do it? Since there are two sequels I think you know the answer to that. New character Shark is interesting indeed, like when he bumps his head on the TCL chamber before bashing a cop. Good Movie

    They Still Got it.

    These films keep getting better and better, Trancers 3 is good but not as good as the second one but better then the first one, thats so far. I think they should carry on making these films forever there so cool. And once again the acting is great.

    10/10

    A little disapointing

    Yip I luv trancers,I have only seen1,2 and 3.I think the first one is amazing,the second one is quite good too,but the third one it's ok I suppose. I was disappointed mainly becuaese lena and deth are getting divorced. Well in the first one,jack decided to wait in the past with lena,so he gave up his life in the future,for her,now they are splitting up,ungreateful so and so. Well the plot wasn't great either,but it was to be expected,and I didn't like deths' partner either,he was a bit hopeless really,shark I think he was called,I mean he didn't help much did he,hopeless. But I did like megan wards character,she was more tougher than before,but she wasn't all together soft in the second one though. But if you have saw other trancers films and liked them,I suggest you watch it if you get the chance,it is watchable but a little disapointing

    Possibly as good as the original, definitely better than II

    Trancers was a very enjoyable B Sci-Fi flick. The sequel was rather poor, and left me questioning the wisdom of making the movies into a franchise. However, Trancers III made me rethink that.

    Trancers III reunites us with Jack Deth, a cop sent to 20th-Century Los Angeles to protect the future. In this brief installment, Jack is temporarily brought back to his own time to find that things have gone terribly wrong in Angel City (though no one seems to call it that in this movie for some reason). He is then sent back in time to 2005, to try and destroy the project that originally created the titular Trancers; humans turned into killing machines.

    Charles Band appears to have wanted to amp up the action in this movie, I think it had more shoot-outs than the first two movies combined. However, it fell into the trap a lot of movies (especially Sci-Fi movies) do. The bad guys had worse aim than a company of Star Wars Imperial Stormtroopers. It sort of takes the wind out of an action scene when one guy is able to take on foes who outnumber him 10 to 1 and walk away without a scratch.

    One thing that I was pleased by was the main villain in this movie. I won't give anything away, but I will say that he was the more complex than the bad guys in the previous two films. He had motivation beyond the typical Evil Overlord Megalomania used by lazy screenwriters.

    Jack Deth didn't toss off one-liners quite like he did in the original film (and the one at the very end felt rather forced), but Tim Thomerson nevertheless was enjoyable to watch. The cameos by Helen Hunt (who by this point was on Mad About You) and Megan Ward were nice touches, as well.

    The internal logic of the movies always seemed non-existent to me, and this one was no exception. I get the feeling Charles Band was more or less making up things as he went along, as there was little continuity in the movie. But, that's true of the series as a whole, and if you're willing to ignore such things, then you should get a good deal of enjoyment out of this movie.

    Jack is back...

    Lacklustre third Trancer film from Full Moon. C. Courtney Joyner's direction really needs tightening up and the script here lacks the wit of the earlier films. Megan Ward and Helen Hunt both return as Deth's former wives and this time Megan Ward (who was due to be killed in upon returning home) has become one of the top characters there and is now part of the team ordering Deth around. There is a large mutant, Shark, a crystal powered cyborg actually who befriends Deth and helps him enter the heart of Trancerdom and rid the world of the evil blighter's. However this new addition simply rubbishes the story rather than enhancing it. Shame.

    • Trivia
      Due to Helen Hunt's rising stardom and recent hit sitcom Mad About You, the producers didn't initially approach her to return to the low budget series, feeling she wouldn't do it. Helen Hunt, who remained close with the cast and crew, was shocked to learn this and said she was more than happy to return as Lena Deth, albeit in a more limited role due to her busy shooting schedule with Mad About You.

      R.A. Mihailoff's name is misspelled in the beginning credits. It is spelled R.A. Mahailoff and then it is spelled correctly in the closing credits.
