  • Summary

  • Welcome to Cyberpunk Cinema – the Definitive Dive into the Dark Future of Science Fiction. I am your host, Anthony La Pira, and I will be taking you on a cinematic journey through the sprawling cityscapes, the crippling datastorms, and the cybernetic implants that encompass all things Cyberpunk.

    In this week’s episode, I will be breaking-down the 1984 cyberpunk time-traveling B-Movie delight Trancers – directed by Charles Band; written by Danny Bilson & Paul De Meo; starring Tim Thomerson, Helen Hunt, Art LaFleur, Michael Stefani, Biff Manard, and Richard Herd.

    A gruff bounty hunter travels back in time to 1980s Los Angeles to stop a twisted criminal who can transform people into zombie-like creatures.

    Trancers
    is an excellent B-Movie Cyberpunk from the King of B-Movies himself, Charles Band. It launched a franchise that had six installments and created the character of Jack Deth led by Tim Thomerson’s awesome performance. It’s a blend of time travel and neo noir and it’s so much freakin’ fun. So, in the words of Jack Deth – “Dry hair’s for squids. Now come on. Let’s get outta here.”

    So, do me a favor – it’s time to access your cranial jacks, boot up your Ono-Sendai Cyberspace 7, and slap on your damn mirror-shades. You know what time it is! Cyberpunk Cinema starts…now!
