Love the TRANCERS series! Yes, they get pretty silly towards the 4th or 5th film, but this first one is fantastic!
Anyone who doesn’t like it is a damn squid!
Trancers
His name is Deth. He hunts Trancers. Even in the 20th Century.

How It Feels
Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.
A scrappy time-travel action romp where a futuristic cop hunts zombified enemies through 1985 L.A. with mismatched charm and B-movie ingenuity. It's pulpy, fun, and never takes itself too seriously despite its apocalyptic stakes.
