THE FUTURE COP IS BACK…

Los Angeles, 1991. It’s been six years since Jack Deth (TIM THOMERSON) eliminated the last of the Trancers—those zombie-like creatures whose mission is murder. Jack has rebuilt his life in the present with his new wife Lena (HELEN HUNT) and has gotten rich in his commodities dealings with his old buddy Hap Ashby (BIFF MANARD), an ex-baseball hero.

Now Jack’s got that funny feeling again… he knows the Trancers are back. And there’s more in store for him: Jack’s first wife Alice Stillwell (MEGAN WARD), whom he thought dead, has been sent “down the line” to the present to help fight the new wave of Trancers. But she’s lost somewhere in Los Angeles and Jack must find her. At the same time he must find and destroy Dr. Wardo (RICHARD LYNCH) the new leader of the deadly gang.

Get ready for the ride of your life.
TRANCERS II…it’s the return of Jack Deth.

About VHS NIght

V.H.S. Night isn’t just about watching the finest rental store staples of the 80’s and 90’s. It’s a celebration of filmmaking without a safety net, where malfunctioning props were the norm and bad takes had to stay. The end results vary wildly in quality (often within the same movie), but even at their worst these movies are full of ambition, heart, and ideas way too strange for mainstream Hollywood.

Yeah, we play these movies on VHS. It looks kind of cool on the big screen, and some of these movies were never released in any other format.
