Loved this movie in the 80's can't go wrong! Helen Hunt still looks hott even 20 years later, haaa. May 6, 2008

Fifty-cent Sci-Fi with a nod to The Terminator and Blade Runner; features a criminally underused Tim Thomerson and an early outing for Helen Hunt. Despite the budget director Band makes the most of his two `stars' and the plot, involving time travel, murderous zombie henchman and a washed up alcoholic baseball star provides ample entertainment to keep even the most po-faced critic happy - its funny too! The set design is also sufficiently retro to more than satisfy fans of fifties Sci-Fi classics. December 7, 2007

rating: 4 QuoteHighly underratedQuote
I remember seeing Trancers on cable back in the mid-eighties. This film, although a very cheap B-movie, has got so much style that you can't help but love it. Obviously, the movie "borrows" much of its style and visuals from Blade Runner as well as the characterization of the protagonist, Jack Deth, but even so, Tim Thomerson's performance, a brilliant soundtrack, and a VERY original plot and story line combine to make Trancers a cult classic. The sequels never quite measured up to the original (which is usually the case), so the first film alone is worthy of any DVD collection. Aside from occasional foul language and "suggestive" sex scenes (no nudity), the older kids might be able to enjoy this one with mom or dad who probably remember seeing this one back when they were teenagers.
Bottom line: if you like action films, you gotta see this one. If you like sci-fi films: you gotta see this one. If you like Tim Thomerson, you gotta see this film.
What are you waiting for?

I love this story. I mean, after all, with a protagonist named Jack Death, what's not to love?

But the quality bites! The video is fuzzy and glary. What a disappointment. January 3, 2007

rating: 3 QuoteGuilty PleasureQuote
Well, maybe not too guilty about it, I do like Trancers. Tim Thomerson does a good job of playing the hard boiled, wise cracking detective. Trancers, like the many of the movies from New Moon were low budget, cheesy but very enjoyable to watch. Mr Thomerson did a good job in all of them. July 9, 2006
