Jack Deth goes to the future, back to the past and then to 1992 to stop the Trancer program from ever taking off, meanwhile he fights to save his crumbling marriage to Lena (Helen Hunt) and to stop military program head Robinson from creating Trancers in the first place. Trancers III is a 3 star movie, but not in the traditional sense. I often liked Trancers III for it's ambition, ideas and out right wackiness then I did as Science Fiction or Action. Trancers III then starts out in the 90s, goes to 3 years from now of this writing, and back again to the 90s and so on, the program is vaguely explained and I'm not even sure if it's really explained how Trancers we're made, but the film works because we don't know where this film is going. Indeed, part of the fun is the surreal dream like nature of the film in which we have no idea what the hell is going on or what the filmmakers are trying to do. This can often kill a film, but because Trancers III is made with a weird energy, such low budget loopiness goes a long way, and we sort of just accept it. * * * Out of 4-(Good)
Although "Trancers 3" is not as thoroughly entertaining as its predecessors, this straight-to-video production still delivers its fair share of cheesy fun.Tim Thomerson is on the way to becoming one of my favourite actors - the more I see of him, the more I appreciate his comic timing and film presence."Trancers 3" is worth seeing just for Andrew Robinson repeating his old "Hellraiser" line, "Come to Daddy"! Here it's in a whole new context and is sure to raise a smile (or grimace) with Clive Barker fans! A darker "Trancers" tale than normal, this is a great film to watch with a few cans and nibbles. Enjoy!
The Trancers have returned and now they are being trained in military fashion.DIRTY HARRY'S ANDREW ROBINSON plays an excellent col. mutha, I THINK.Jack is sent down the line to stop col. mutha, will he do it? Since there are two sequels I think you know the answer to that. New character Shark is interesting indeed, like when he bumps his head on the TCL chamber before bashing a cop. Good Movie
"Trancers III: Deth Lives" is the best of the "Trancer" sequels and in some ways even out does the original. This Time Tim Thomerson as Jack Deth has to fight an even tougher trancer. Far better then the next two "Trancer" entries.
