Sci-Fi Spring Break Ep. 5: Trancers (1985)

Sorry it took so long to get another episode out. It's been a rough couple weeks after the death of a friend. In any case, this episode isn't that great, but I had to get it out otherwise I'd never get back into it.

I love Trancers, but Tim Thomerson has THE worst fake driving skills ever. Check out his hands when he's driving Helen Hunt around. :D

[watercooler]

@ManticoreEscapee I almost pointed that out but ditched it at the last minute. Yeah whenever he's driving the car is clearly going straight but he's driving like a kid with an invisible steering wheel.

Good GOD man, your first Full Moon movie??? You've missed PUPPET MASTER, SHRUNKEN HEADS, DOLL MAN, BLOOD DOLLS and MANDROID? Does that include their stuff from when they were Empire, too?

[watercooler]

@GoblinXXX Yep, a whole new world has opened up to me.

When I was a kid, I watched "Trancers" dozen of times - for some reason, Thomerson punching out the punk seemed so hilarious ... speaking of Thomerson: why not review "Knights" from 1993? It got Lance Henriksen as a drooling robot, Kris Kristofferson, a martial artist cyborg fighting from inside a rucksack, blood sucking robots ... it.has.EVERYTHING! (And there's Tim Thomerson, what more could one want?)

can you review moon?

[walkerredeye]

dry hair's for squids, man

[QuintiniusVerginix]

A punk rock rendition of Jingle Bells? AWESOME

[AsciiKid]

God speed on your hard ships, and it's nice to see your reviews back again

Full Moon is the greatest when It comes to cheap Sci-Fi and Horror.

[obie666]

LMAO! I love that as the guy is right about to shave, he simply wipes all the shaving cream off and all hair is gone!

Maybe he used NAIR.

[kassemir]

Ha, and a punk rock version of Jingle Bells, perhaps they were looking for music in the public domain.

So why didn't they use "Jimmy Crack Corn" or "Wheels on The Bus"?? Why use a holiday song in a film like this??

Maybe it's one of the inside jokes of the film. Who knows?

[Naxwell]

WHOA, I literally just watched this last week.

@watercooler Enjoy!! Full Moon made some real crazy, fun, and craptastic films!
