Future Cop 2

Trancers II (1991) is another entry in the series that I recently watched on Tubi. The storyline picks up six years after the first film, with Jack now settled down with Lena and running a struggling private eye business. His quiet life is disrupted when his deceased wife reappears, along with a scientist creating Trancers on Earth.

Directed by Charles Band (Puppet Master), the film stars Tim Thomerson (Dollman), Helen Hunt (Twister), Megan Ward (Encino Man), and Art LaFleur (The Sandlot).

With Tim Thomerson and Megan Ward, the film has a bit of a "poor man's Rutger Hauer and Phoebe Cates" 80s vibe. The storyline is somewhat uneven, as are the writing and character interactions, leading to a mixed sense of chemistry and tone. Still, there are some enjoyable moments, like the opening scene at the landscaping site and the pitchfork sequence. Overall, it's a fun watch and an above-average addition to the sci-fi genre. I'd rate it a 6/10.
