Walker is a sympathetic character and he quickly earns the audience's admiration. Timecop is one of JCVD's better films and it is clearly due to the script. Together they travel back in time to investigate a time travel crime involving the Senator who has traveled back in time to advice his younger self. It is also in the same time period that Walker's wife was killed. Walker is joined by an internal affairs officer who is investigating his former partner by shadowing Walker. Later, he tells the man, "Look, don't expect to be my chief of staff if my slamming your face into the side of the car is gonna turn you into a sniveling worm." He dared to tell the Senator he could not do something. When snacking in a limo, he casually slams the guy next to him into the door without missing a bite. Ron Silver is great as the sinister Senator with the million dollar smile. This was caused by his wife being murdered when he was a rookie police officer. He joins the Timecops and ends up arresting his former partner who is secretly working for a Senator vying for the White House, who is using time travel to make money to fund his campaign. JCVD stars as Walker, a Timecop with an air of gloom hanging over him.
Examples given as a time travel crime are stealing gold, using future information on what stock to buy in the past, buying valuable real estate before it is valuable.etc.
TIMECOP FULL MOVIE VAN DAMME SERIES
Add in Van Damme's drug addiction and his career started racing down hill.īased on a comic book series from Dark Horse Comics, Timecop tells the story of an agency set up to police people who travel through time, so as to stop them from affecting the future. He followed this up with the dismal Street Fighter, whose domestic gross did not even match its budget. (The other being Universal Soldier) It would also be his last.
TIMECOP FULL MOVIE VAN DAMME CRACK
This was his second film that he starred in to just crack the hundred million dollar mark at the box office. With Timecop, Jean-Claude Van Damme came close to making the "A" list. Enough, indeed, to make this brainless romp a real blast.Jean-Claude Van Damme making his mark in Timecop While his characterisation - a heroic lump of granite - fits this comic absurdity perfectly as he kicks, punches, lumpenly wisecracks, leaps from exploding buildings, always gets his man and pops through time with an impressive custard-like plop. Van Damme once again bends and twists his muscular frame to superhuman excess, but his Belgian tonsils have all the flexibility of the Himalayas when it comes to splurting out his one-liners.
Add in a time-twisting sub-plot involving Van Damme's dead-wife (Sara) and proof positive that making contact with yourself in the past has some unpleasant side-effects and you've got a rollicking, kickboxing variation on Groundhog Day. Now, though, he has to reckon with megalomaniac, slightly-psychotic senator Ron Silver tapping history for enough wealth to fund his presidental campaign and paying negligable heed to the value of human life and those don't-fiddle-with-the-past rules. In 2004, scowling, haunted law enforcement officer Van Damme patrols the ultra hi-tech time paths to make sure no scheming so and so zips back down the years to adjustment the present, a task he achieves mainly by kicking them very hard in the head.
But hey, this is meant to be nonsense and despite its mind-boggling pretensions, it still delivers pure sub-cranial entertainment. It's a good thing the latest Van Damme actioner is based on a comic book, for if you give its sci-fi time-travel plot more than 10 seconds worth of thought, it disintegrates into a mish-mash of time-space continuum baloney.
