    Lots of cool fights and almost no plot. Just how I like them!

    TC 2000 is not a film for the average science fiction fan. This is all about fighting, and lots of it. It seems that almost every single person in this film is a martial artist (which would explain the terrible acting) and no more than ten minutes go by without a fight between at least two people. The fighting is pretty good, Billy Blanks is great and Bolo Yeung kicks some serious behind. A great low budget fighting movie.

    Bobbie Phillips rules

    After seeing "TC 2000", I'm having a hard time trying to understand why Bobbie Phillips never became a bigger b-movie star. In the beginning of this movie, she is "just" a beautiful woman who can kick some a$$. But later on she is transformed into the title character, a sort of female Robocop ("80% human, 20% machine, 100% dedicated to the job"), and the combination of her sardonic, pleased-with-herself smile, stylized hair, leather outfit, high boots, multiple back flips and even more a$$-kicking make her tremendously sexy. The film is an OK cross between post-apocalyptic sci-fi and martial arts action, though the plot is a little muddled, the editing is off at times and the fighting is of varying quality. Hues (for a guy his size, he sure can throw a kick!), Blanks and Phillips fare best; on the other hand, most of Bolo Yeung's fight scenes are really quite poor. (**)

    Non-stop fighting.

    This movie is all about fighting,and it got some of the greatest martial-artists in the world.Some of them are Bolo Yeung,Matthias Hues and Billy Blanks.They all deliver some great fighting scenes.

    Unfortunately the movie has no plot and is set to a sci-fi enviorment which makes it lame.

    So if you are looking for cool fights and nothing else then this movie delivers.

    Apparently, guns aren't effective in a post-apocalyptic LA

    This is one of the worst movies I've ever seen. I kept thinking to myself "They have guns, why are they trying to do Kung-Fu on them?" And there were at least four prominent characters in the film who have no effect on the plot(HA!), but still managed to get at least 10 minutes of screen time. However, if you're a fan of MSTing films, you'll like this one. Just watch to the end of the credits. Trust me.

    Script bad; Bolo good

    Yeah, everything between the fights is lame. But Bolo gets to be one of the good guys!!! After years of shining as a taciturn mega-bully in dozens of martial arts flicks, here's one of the few times we can root for him to win, rather than seeing him as some other hero's biggest, baddest foe. For Blanks, this film is assembly-line output. But Bolo earned the chance to wear the metaphoric white hat (or headband) - sort of a lifetime achievement award. So lower your expectations for the package, but give it a look to show Bolo some love.
