    Love the film! I saw it in, I believe, January or February of 1986 a few months before I turned 12. I’d waffled on renting it for a handful of months. I was already a huge Blade Runner fan and already a fan of b-movies. I’ll never, ever forget that this same night, I bought the very last original Star Wars figure I ever bought: a Power of the Force Death Star Gunner. I was messing around with it while I watched Trancers. Heheh.
    Years passed and then I rapidly became aware of Band’s other work plus the then new Full Moon stuff. I was a huge fan right away, of course! 😁

    A cult classic! We rented this on VHS back in around 84/85-ish and I loved it. I remember it also being on a show called 'Videodrome' one night, where Alex Cox introduced the movie before it was shown. I recorded it then and watched it a few times. I have a proper copy on VHS too.
    The stilted acting, boom mic's in shot and terrible stunt doubles all add to the charm of this film. Your overview of Trancers is great.

    So glad you did this movie. More people need to be informed of this great series that, surprisingly, hasn't been remade yet. And Tim Thomerson is the man. He should have shot to B movie stardom just like Bruce Campbell. Let's start a petition to have Ash meet Jack Deth.

    I remember first seeing this movie as part of a bbc 2 videodrome evening. As a preteen at the time it made me both hide with fear and chuckle with laughter. the over the top acting is top drawer hilarious and the effects wonderfully low budget. I'm glad you put this on... It's long overdue for some good bad flicks treatment. 😀

    So it was called Future Cop during a re-release? I've always been confused about that, because I saw the movie on the big-screen as Future Cop, and got confused later on when it turned up on cable under the title of Trancers. Where did I see it first? In a movie theater in Wilmington, DE, Concord Pike to be exact, the cinema is gone now, but I can't even count how many movies I saw there through out the 80s, and even into the 90s.

    trancers, was one of the movies i found randomly as a kid on a vhs from my parents. the movie came after the main film i watched first and was not supossed to be on the VHS tape because the movie before was recorded with an vhs player from tv over night ( good old times) ;-)). i liked the noir style and the first scene where the waitress is the trancer and attacks with the knife. this scene shocked me pretty much as a little kid!! ;-D
