![]() ![]() Everyone's done the "let's kill Hitler" thing. ![]() As in this film, they really don't do anything cute with the idea of time travel. If you ask me, the whole thing's kind of a wasted property. The Timecop franchise has not only spawned the films, but also a TV show. As Wilford Brimley would say, "It's the right thing to do." If I'm a film maker, and I've just got word that we've signed Scott Lee to the picture, I'm rewriting the thing to include some major fight scenes. Now I'm suck with a substandard bad action film, with nothing to root for. With Jason Scott Lee in a movie, I'm expecting some nice martial arts action. The timecop agency doesn't do a good job of making their agents blend in, and I'm surprised any mission ever succeeds. I'd say worse than the sets and the outfits, was how bad Scott Lee seemed to stand out in each scene. They look all right, but they also look like they were done on a weak budget. Timecop: TBD falls somewhat short of the Highlander standard. After an awkward fight scene where Scott Lee pummels the younger baddie, who doesn't know how to fight yet, everything ends all right.Īs a huge Highlander: The Series fan, I'm used to good period sets and clothing and what not. So Scott Lee has to visit all his ancestors and stop the baddie from offing them, and eventually he makes it to the late 90s, where his dad is teaching a younger version of the baddie in a college course on time travel. The bad guy was in jail to begin with, because he went back in time to kill Hitler, and the whole thing was a disaster. There's a baddie who's escaped prison and is going back in time to eliminate all the current timecops' ancestors, which would in turn kill them. Timecop: The Berlin Decision stars Jason Scott Lee as a timecop working 20 years after the Van Damme movie. I only watched it because the original Timecop, which had DTVC Hall of Famer Jean-Claude Van Damme, was pretty hilarious, and I was hoping this would be equally as funny. I think I caught this film on the Sci-Fi channel. ![]()
