Timecop 1994

If you a fetish for JCVD's splits, you are gonna be here for some treat. Or maybe for some neverending erection.

Incredibly bad movie.

i liked it a lot back then and still do. jcvd :-)

There are no words to describe how bad this movie is. It‘s a cult classic for its wooden acting, corny dialogue, cheap special effects, ridiculous fight scenes and gathering of talentless actors. Oh I guess there are words after all.

zero comments on time cop?!?! come on now. amazing.

Do I rate this based on the present (2023) or when I first saw this in 1994? I guess the latter, so it will be fair, an 8 out of 10. Many are rating and giving bad reviews about this show, but I think it is unfair. This was an early 1990s movie. Movies people are rating today will be just as a “bad” as they described 30 years from now.

That out of the way. It was nostalgic, re-watching this 29 years later. I was reminded of how people think of time travel back then, with not so much a worry about the grandfather paradox, and more about ripples in time.

We've come a long way, not just in movie making, storytelling, but also in how we perceive time and time travel. Yet, the ideas from the 20th Century is as valid today as it was before, only better and more mind-boggling.

If they reboot this, either as a new movie or a TV series, I wonder how it will be reinterpreted. Or maybe, one just have to watch the Korean TV sci-fi “Sisyphus: The Myth” to have a glimpse of what it can be. ^_~

The only redeeming quality about this piece of crap was the relatively short runtime. I really need to stop watching these so called “cult classics”. I wasn’t interested back in the mid 90s as a teenager and I’ve should have listened to myself.

This should be way more entertaining than it is with the central concept. At the end of the day, Van Damme is a poor version of Schwarzenegger, throwing out quips that just don’t land and taking himself much too seriously. The futuristic design has dated badly, the fight scenes are not particularly inventive and the filmmakers keep remind the audience of plot points that make little sense in the first place. There are much better Van Damme films out there and certainly much better fun “time travel” films that play with similar scenarios.

In some ways brilliant, in many more ways awful. Switch off your brain and enjoy this true 90's gem.

Van Damme once again bends and twists his muscular frame to superhuman excess.
