A strange and slightly garbled movie that's just weird enough to be fun. I'm honestly surprised this doesn't have more of a cult following.
A certified 80s sci-fi cult classic, very weird and very 80s. I’m interested in exploring some of the sequels
One of the fairly interesting & cool sci-fi action flicks from the 80's as I recall!
An 80s classic that has it all. One to watch if you ever get the chance.
A cheesy 80s B-movie, just a good time. Great special effects and a badass lead.
Classsic B-Movie. So cheap but still so good.
A well rounded sci fi, time travel adventure. Some really cool sequences that don't rely on VFX but are so effective and cool
It has its moments but is overall forgettable
Fun at points but ultimately full of cliches you’ve seen over and over, with some pretty terrible writing and so-so acting
The Terminator with a dash of Blade Runner, except it sucks.

Angel City trooper Jack Deth is sent back in time from 2247 to 1985 L.A. to inhabit the body of his ancestor. Deth's assignment is to find his archenemy, Whistler, who turns people into zombies, before the fiend is able to kill all the ancestors of the future's governing council.
Once again someone from the future has come back to create an army of Trancers, human zombies who do what they're told without question or pause. Now officer Jack Deth, a cop from the future stranded in the past, must once again go forth to stop them. This sci-fi action sequel chronicles his courageous actions as he struggles to save the future. His difficulties are compounded when his boss sends his first wife back from the future to help Deth who has unfortunately, married a 20th-century girl.
A time traveling cop, Jack Deth, from the future is taken back to the past to be given the task of destroying the Trancer program before it has a chance to get out of control, sending the world into a state of chaos and war.
Jack is now back in the future. He had since lost Lena, and finds out that he's lost his other wife Alice to none other than Harris. While heading out for another assignment, something goes awry with the TCL chamber. Jack finds himself in a whole new dimension. He also runs across a different version of trancers. These guys seem to be in control of this planet. Jack manages to assist a rebel group known as the "Tunnel Rats" crush the rule of the evil Lord Calaban.
Jack Deth is back for one more round with the trancers. Jack must attempt to find his way home from the other-dimensional world of Orpheus, where magic works and the trancers were the ruling class (before Trancers IV, that is). Unfortunately, Jack's quest to find the mystical Tiamond in the Castle of Unrelenting Terror may be thwarted by the return of Caliban, king of the trancers who was thought dead.
In a return to the groundbreaking original film's premise, Jack Deth is back - traveling back in time and into the body of his own daughter, Josephine, on a mission to save her life and save the world from the most lethal Trancers yet. Jack/Jo must adapt and survive being a girl while avoiding many assassination attempts by more powerful and dangerous zombie-like Trancers than he's ever faced before.
