Trancers II (1991)
7/10
Revenge Of The Deth
15 August 2018
Jack Deth (Tim Thomerson) returns to this time take on Whistler's brother (Richard Lynch) who is running a mental hospital and is trying to recruit numbers to take over the world, meanwhile Deth is aided by his deceased wife who is back as a 20 something woman who falls for Deth all over again, much to the dismay of Lena (Helen Hunt) Deth's current wife. Again the 3 star rating is out of sheer guilty pleasure, because in terms of technical quality and filmmaking this film is not very well made. The first action sequence in particular with the fork lifts are laughably bad, but again Trancers II is more entertaining than it is good. The film is literally all over the map, we have no idea what Richard Lynch wants to do, the love triangle is a cheesy sitcom and yet the mix of such somehow makes it work. Again, the movie is made with a weird vibe that makes the film work better than you would think. I can't imagine anyone who isn't immersed in nostalgia or who never rented these to get the appeal of the movie, but few movies work better than this at 2 am.
