Trancers DVD Report

Trancers takes place in Angel City in the year 2247, when enforcer Jack Deth (Tim Thomerson) has just retired from the weekly grind after vanquishing villain Martin Whistler (Michael Stefani) and his roving cohorts, called trancers. But Whistler and his trancers have gone back to Christmas 1985, with the insidious plan of exterminating the ruling council by killing off all the council members ancestors.

So Deth agrees to go back in time to get Whistler and the trancers all over again. To do so, he must transfer his memory into the body of one of his ancestors, who in this case has just had an erotic interlude with Leena (Helen Hunt), who works as a Santas elf at a shopping mall. Whistler has taken over the body of the police inspector and has started transforming the Los Angeles population into trancers - including Santa Claus...

This DVD of Trancers was taken (badly) from VHS, so you get ghosting, dropouts, and the colours and sound are a little muddy! One hour in you get to see the microphone in shot too! Deths long second was about 45 seconds, not ten, plus why didn't he shoot Whistler during it, 2 opportunities, yes he had time! But ignoring all this, its still a pretty good movie, I enjoyed it!

Here is the trailer...
