And, to police this, the TEC is set up to enforce and punish these unauthorized excursions.

In the near future, a secret government agency is created to combat unauthorized folks from going to the past and changing the future. Unlike the average Van Damme pic, this one is science fiction and also requires less kicking and punching.and I like the difference.

'Timecop' is one of Jean-Claude Van Damme's better films and is well worth seeing. Reviewed by MartinHafer 8 / 10 One of Van Damme's better films. After all, time travel is invariably interesting in whatever form it takes. And If you can get over the silly contraptions, contrived set-ups and ridiculous appearances of the villains, then you might just find yourself enjoying this slick piece of nonsense. There are the expected bad wisecracks, good characters who turn bad, an inventive death or two (two soldiers are suddenly ignited in the flames of a pod car) and plenty more reasons to keep watching. On the lighting side the ending is far too dark and we don't get much of a chance to see Van Damme taking out the bad chaps. And what's up with Van Damme's permed hairdo, which makes him look like a sissy? Along with this and the fact that he has to do the splits as much as humanly possible, it just makes him look like a poseur. To add to the mainstream appeal, there's a heck of a lot of nudity and explicit sexual content too, much more than the brief instances in most Van Damme films. On top of this, the various baddies all have ridiculous '80s costumes on, seemingly left from a previous Van Damme flick entitled CYBORG. Unfortunately, this 'pod' as it appears to be, looks like it's made of cheap plastic and has a tiny little gas flame popping out of the back to simulate the powerful drive of the vehicle - except it looks just like a silly little gas flame. must climb inside a BACK TO THE FUTURE-inspired pod car which then races off down a chute. In order to travel back to the past, Van Damme and co. While cheesiness is sometimes an easing factor when watching bad '80s horror films, here it just seems embarrassing. What I disliked about TIMECOP is how cheesy it is. Mia Sara has the thankless role of Van Damme's murdered wife and finds yet more reasons to take her top off as often as possible, while the ever-reliable Ron Silver puts in a thoroughly slimy and totally villainous performance as a corrupt senator, who meets his end when his two selves (present and future) touch, turning him literally into a glob of goo - sadly, it has to be said, this effect isn't what it could have been. Other than that there are the usual assorted bruisings, beatings, whippings, and beltings with Van Damme kicking people in the face as his preferred tactic (whereas Seagal likes to break people's arms, and Schwarzenegger just shoots them). The most impressive computer effect here is where a man's arm is frozen and then kicked off by Van Damme, shattering into a million pieces. To help take our mind off the flimsy, and sometimes contrived, plot, there are a number of fight sequences (as to be expected from every Van Damme film ever made) which keep the attention as always, and one gob-smacking bit of CGI work. After all, it's a film dealing with time travel, and, as the writers of any time travel film or programme soon find out, its a head scratching theme from the start, and paradoxes soon turn up by the dozen. And, like his previous experiment in futuristic themes, TIMECOP is flawed. After the global success of UNIVERSAL SOLDIER in 1992 (not a bad little flick, but avoid the sequel like the plague), the Muscles from Brussels decided to make another science fiction film. Reviewed by Leofwine_draca 6 / 10 Slick time travel nonsense is about average for Van DammeĪnd here we have yet another Van Damme film from his height of Hollywood fame.

Max brings him back for sentencing but not after telling Max that Senator McComb, the man in charge of TEC, sent him. He tracks down a former co-worker who went into the past to make money.
