Review of Trancers 5: Sudden Deth (1994) by Grace S — 25 Jun 2008

This one continues right after the fourth part, which was a very short film also. So short in fact, that you have to wonder why they didn't just make em' as the one movie.

Anyway, ignoring that for a minute, this film will provide a chuckle or two, mainly due to the seriously bad acting from Thomerson and the supporting actors. Although one exception here is Stacie Randall, who has a duel role, playing the lovely Lyra in not one, but two dimensions. Some of the plot elements are cleverly lifted from Asterix, but it is nice to see the writer was a fan. After it was over, I felt kind of mad knowing the true Trancers films were finished and if Thomerson decides to return, I'd like him to be exactly like the wisecracking detective he was in the original.
