In Timecop 2, officer Chan’s antagonist is Miller Branson (Thomas Ian Griffith), part of the “Society for Historical Authenticity”, a covert organization responsible for verifying history for the cops who serve in the TEC.Īpparently, Branson has his own ideas about what time travel should be used for.

Of course, we cannot have a proper action movie without a nemesis for the hero to rough up at the end. Lee plays Ryan Chan, an officer in the Time Enforcement Commission (TEC) tasked with protecting the present from persons intent on traveling back in time to alter past events. Inexplicably, after a nine-year hiatus, someone has decided we need a successor to Timecop, and offered up the direct-to-video Timecop 2: The Berlin Decision, an equally mindless, but far less entertaining, film fronted by Jason Scott Lee. Sure, you had to leave your brain on standby to avoid questioning the many plot holes in Timecop, but I thought the premise was interesting, and the fight scenes were well executed. Out of all of his films, I think this may have been the best, and it even enjoyed moderate financial success upon its release way back in 1994, when the “muscles from Brussels” was a more bankable action star. Now I know I am probably amongst the minority of filmgoers on this, but I thoroughly enjoyed the first Timecop, which starred the aforementioned Jean Claude Van Damme. Seriously, I can’t be the only one to have to have sat through a film featuring Jeff Speakman, Cynthia Rothrock, or Billy Blanks on a sleepless night, can I? To be sure, the storylines in films like Kickboxer, Marked for Death, The Perfect Weapon, or anything starring Don “The Dragon” Wilson take a backseat to the action sequences, and sometimes the set-up of the hero’s finishing technique, but they can still be enjoyable on some level. I must come clean and admit that I have grown to like some of these movies upon repeated viewings, including many of Jean Claude Van Damme’s early efforts, as they not only feature some interesting fight scenes, but have also inspired me to train harder.
Subtitles: English (Captioned), French, and Spanishĭue to my interest in (and practice of) the martial arts, I have watched a lot of really cheesy chop-socky flicks to check out the fight scenes over the years. Aspect Ratio: 16X9 Enhanced Widescreen (1.85:1)
