... View MoreSee it for the fight in the junkyard between Carradine and Tessier. Both appear so out of shape that the huffing and puffing could blow a house down. "Future Force" is a film that makes no sense, yet has moments of weirdness that keeps things going. The remote controlled glove is certainly a highlight. The zero budget shows through in almost every spartan scene. Product placements for whiskey, beer, and mixers appear throughout. Think of this as sort of a "spaghetti western" taking place in 1991, only following a standard exploitation formula with a mandatory strip bar, nonsensical explosions, and gun play that misses at point blank range. Truly this is good "bad" cinema. - MERK
... View More"Future Force" qualifies as a cheesy, predictable, low-budget action crime saga that delivers no surprises and resembles a modern-day, urban western rather than a futuristic tale about justice in Los Angeles. "Kill Bill" star David Carradine served as the associate producer so there is mystery as to why he appears in this tongue-in-cheek thriller, but the wonderful Robert Tessier of "The Longest Yard" provides the film with a few moments of fun. "Future Force" contains a modicum of nudity, and strippers chiefly furnish those fleeting moments in a bar named the DMZ where unsavory gun-totting civilian cops hang out between jobs. The special effects are really awful, with superimposed blue lines that spread like a spider web over whatever and laser beams that are straight blue lights. The biggest thing in his thriller occurs when a guy fires a LAWS rocket at a police helicopter and it vanishes in an explosion. The dialogue is forgettable, but "Jungle Assault" director David A. Prior keeps the mindless mayhem moving fast enough and shows a few interesting camera movements so "Future Force" doesn't stall out.The action unfolds with some lengthy exposition that sets up the world of "Future Force." According to the narrator: "In the year 1991, crime in America was out of control. Prisons were overloaded. Police forces were understaffed. Gun battles in city streets became common place. No one was safe. The cities had become the battlefields of the future and the criminals were winning the war. The public demanded change and the government responded. Police departments across the country were shut down, and law enforcement was handed over to private enterprise. Civilian Operated Police Systems, Incorporated., took over. Within two years crime was under control. The price, however, was a heavy one. For justice as we once knew it had ceased to exist." Former L.A.P.D. officer John Tucker (a paunchy David Carradine) is one of the best in the business. He has acquired a bad reputation for not bringing in any prisoners alive. The Miranda-style statement that he utters to each lawbreaker is amusing. "You've committed a crime. You're presumed guilty until proved innocent. You have the right to die. You choose to relinquish that right you'll be placed under arrest and put in prison." In his first encounter of many with a suspect, Tucker guns him down old West style in a fast draw showdown. The two other creeps that were with the suspect attack Tucker. He punches one in the balls and uses the club that they attacked him with to smash the other guy's face. When these two try to escape, Tucker wields a huge bionic glove that he wears over his hand and forearm to stop them from fleeing the scene in their car. The power of the bionic glove is so enormous Tucker can plant it on the roof of the car and hold the car still when the driver floors the accelerator and the tires spin. When Tucker releases the car to check his computer in his Cherokee Chief truck, the felons try to run him down and Tucker uses the laser built into the glove to flip the car. When he learns from his computer whiz go-between that the two guys in the wrecked car were guilty only of parking tickets, Tucker observes that they are about to be charged with another parking violation.Tucker has an onboard computer in his truck and the computer nerd who keeps him posted with updates about new criminals sits in a wheelchair. Tucker accidentally shot him when Billy (D.C. Douglas) was a six-year old and Tucker and his partner responded to a crime call at the kid's residence. Meanwhile, Jason Adams (William Zipp of "Operation Warzone") is the Chief Executive Officer in Charge and he doesn't have a qualm about killing people. The first time that we see him he has a rival tied up in a junk car. The rival begs Adams to let him go, but Adams sends him off to a car crushing machine to do a "Goldfinger" number on the guy. Becker (Robert Tessier of "The Longest Yard") serves as Adams' chief of security and he accompanies Adams anywhere. Adams is as corrupt as they come. He tries to get fifty percent of a mobster's action, but the mobster, Grimes, refuses to pay him. Eventually, the greedy Adams finds himself in a predicament when the Channel 3 News anchor girl, Marion Sims (Anna Rapagna of "The A-Team"), promises her viewers that she will feature an expose on Adams that concerns his illegal activities. An angry Adams has Becker put out an arrest warrant on Sims, but Billy intercepts it and channels it to Tucker and Tucker picks her up and tries to bring her in. Adams sends out other men to get the anchorwoman and Tucker guns down them. Adams has a warrant issued for Tucker and our hero finds himself on the run, too.The best scene in "Future Force" involves Tucker's use of the bionic glove. Just as Becker is about to plug him, Tucker produces the remote control unit for the glove that he has refused to use and activates it. The hatch of his Cherokee Chief flies up, the mechanical snap locks on the case pop open, and the glove zooms through the air and clamps onto Becker's neck.The screenplay by creator Thomas Baldwin and co-scenarist Prior is not without holes. After Adams calls criminal boss Grimes in for a conference and demands a 50 percent cut, we don't see Grimes again until he shoots down a helicopter menacing our heroes. The irony about Sims is that she only reads the news copy. Everything about this thriller is strictly routine, though Prior does handle some scene with a minimum of flair. Acting is not required and Carradine walks through his role with ease. Nevertheless, Tessier is always fun to watch.
... View MoreThis is the kind of movie that is best watched with friends who are recovering from hangovers. That is how i was introduced to it, and it definitely helped my condition. This film is completely and totally hilarious. I love it. From the extremely cheesy dialogue to the sleazy porno looking police chief to the magical robot glove, this movie rules. In fact, I'm hungover right now. In fact, I'm going to watch it again right now. Yes.
