A Terminator knock-off that blended sci-fi, noir detective, comedy, and silly horror, Trancers is a cult film that continues to reel in new audiences.
The first in a franchise, this low-budget but inventive movie flows in a strange, off-beat tone.
The film sends a 23rd-century Humphrey Bogart-style hardboiled detective back to the 1980s to stop a cult leader who makes people into kinda zombie followers.
And there are funky gadgets and battles with zombie Santa Claus along the way.
In this episode, I'll walk you through all the little gifts Trancers gives its audiences, why the film is a fun watch for retro science-fiction and cult film fans, and discuss the movie's lasting legacy.
