Timecop movie1/31/2024 Watch The Adjustment Bureau or the fantastic Predestination if you want to see truly good stories involving time travelling cop types. What can I say? This movie isn’t good but it’s fun. I couldn’t find a good image of the kitchen counter splits online so I grabbed this from a video:īy the way, Van Damme gets his naked bum out briefly in this movie just like in Bloodsport if you’re into that sort of thing. But Timecop was still kind of fun even though Van Damme did his signature splits far less than in Bloodsport (but he did them at least twice including a great split across a kitchen counter which was almost as cheesy as the “tree splits” in Bloodsport). Which is a shame as, honestly, this could’ve been a kick ass movie with an even bigger budget & a blockbuster star and a far better script. I don’t know but that sounds a bit like the Loki TV show so far! Which, admittedly, is a great idea for a story but was executed very poorly in this film. Again, Van Damme is not exactly a “good” actor so it’s hard to take him too seriously as this heartbroken cop who enforces, like, the laws of time travel or some shit. And hints of that future horrible mullet are starting to appear. I think Bloodsport gets away with its great early ’80s feel (although it came out in 1988) but Timecop has too much of that bad ’90s action movie look & feel about it. Timecop, unfortunately, was not nearly as much fun but I did still quite enjoy it. It was cheesy & cliché & just the right amount of ridiculous to make it into that “so bad it’s good” category (like my beloved Road House!). Goddamn, that movie was FUN! I liked it so much I gave it a full-length review HERE. Okay, despite loving ’80s & early ’90s movies as I grew up on them, I had never seen a Jean-Claude Van Damme film until watching Bloodsport a couple of months ago. Max Walker, an officer for a security agency that regulates time travel, must fend for his life against a shady politician who’s intent on changing the past to control the future. Starring: Jean-Claude Van Damme, Ron Silver, Mia Sara, Bruce McGill, Gloria Reuben Based on Timecop by Mike Richardson & Mark Verheiden
