Directed with a threadbare and minimalist style by producer Charles Band, Trancers is the ultimate science fiction cult classic.
80
One of the liveliest, wittiest, cleverest cheapies ever made.
70
An unpretentious and amusing low-budget sci-fi entertainment. [24 Sep 1985, p.5]
70
This fizzing cheapo sci-fi actioner from no-frills genre specialist Band is a shameless amalgam of Blade Runner and The Terminator. So shameless, unpretentious and fast-paced, in fact, it's actually a lot of fun.
50
Only Hunt in the femme role breaks through a script that rarely rings new.
25
Directed by Charles Band, the son of Italian trash-master Albert Band and the head of Empire Pictures, Trancers is on the same subgutter, grade-school-mentality level as the rest of Empire's output.

Another great bad movie from the 80s. That glorious straight-to-video feeling, and a poster that's got nothing to do with the story. Next time you feel like watching Escape From New York again, give this a shot instead. You won't be disappointed, or disappointed in the best way.
