Viewing Notes

A much better retro flick on NWI is Trancers (1985), featuring Tim Thomerson in the Rick Deckard role (this is after all an ape of Blade Runner). But for a 80s b-movie it’s done well enough to make it enjoyable and stand on its own (enough to spawn 5 sequels!). Also features a very young and cute Helen Hunt.
