Genre: Sci-Fi
Director: Charles Band
Cast: Tim Thomerson, Helen Hunt, Megan Ward, Biff Manard, Martine Beswick, Jeffrey Combs, Alyson Croft, Telma Hopkins, Art LaFleur, Barbara Crampton
OK–the original, though cheap, was fun. But this one can't get away with the low production values (as they say) without comment. Jack (Tim Thomerson) got stuck in the past (now, 1991) after dealing with the Trancer problem in 1985. He is married to Lena (Helen Hunt) and another Trancer threat emerges, led by Whistler's (from the original) brother. To help Jack out, the 23rd-century council sends his wife back from the future. And you think he had problems before.

Genre: Sci-Fi
Director: C. Courtney Joyner
Cast: Tim Thomerson, Melanie Smith, Andrew Robinson, Tony Pierce, Ed Beechner, Helen Hunt, Megan Ward, Stephen Macht, Telma Hopkins, R.A. Mihailoff
The series takes a slight turn for the better after the poor #2. Jack (Tim Thomerson) is yanked to his own time (2252) due to a new Trancer threat. It is determined that this strain can be traced back to 2005, so off he goes. Along with an escapee from the Trancer training program (Melanie Smith), he sets about saving the world (again). Two more of these sequels to go.
