I’ve always loved the Trancers movies especially the awesome music score and Tim Thomerson’s gruff hero Jack Deth. The films had a classic detective vibe and last week Charles Band released the Noir version of the original film on YouTube now presented in “STUNNING silver toned BLACK & WHITE!”
Plot: Welcome to Angel City, 2247. Trooper Jack Deth (Tim Thomerson) is wiping out the last disciples of Whistler, who used his psychic power to ‘trance’ those with inferior minds, forcing them to follow his every desire. Though he’d been thought dead, he’s very much alive… in the year 1985. Whistler’s master plan – kill the ancestors of the City Council. With the Council disbanded, nothing can stop him from controlling the city. And that’s where Deth comes in. Jack is sent back in time, inhabiting the body of his ancestor and tracking down the elusive sorcerer for one final showdown.
