Future Zone

Not sure where they got those actors but that movie was really bad, was that acting or line reading.... The only passable thing in the movie where the FX the rest was just plain torture.

Some idiot returns from the future to do... something I guess. I don't know. Future Zone is the quote unquote "sequel" to Future Force. In terms of action and pacing, Zone is better. The story, however,is abysmally retarded. Force was at least more coherent although that is not saying much. So I will say Zone is slightly better than its predecessor but only by millimeters.

FUTURE ZONE is another example of the kind of should-be-non-existent trash action movies that David Carradine was making throughout his career. It's a sequel to FUTURE FORCE and features our hero travelling from the future to the prsent, where he teams up with his own son to battle the usual nefarious criminal gang. Cheap and cheesy and made without merit, this is one for bad film lovers alone, but there's nothing bad enough to make it remotely entertaining. David A. Prior directs and Ted Prior, the star of the notorious DEADLY PREY, co-stars.

I hoped against hope that David Carradine wouldn't have to be in another David Prior movie, but you know how it goes. You have to do the movies that are paying for you. Actually, I don't know. No one is asking me to be in horrible movies all that often. Remember John Tucker? Yeah, that guy Carradine played in Future Zone. Well, he's back. And this time, his son Billy has traveled through time to help him. Billy's played by David Prior's brother Ted, so there's that. He's named for the wheelchair-bound friend of John from the first movie, in case you remember that movie. I hope you don't. I guess I should try and say something nice. Well, Charles Napier and Jackson Bostwick, the original Captain Marvel on the Shazam! TV series, show up. Just like the first movie in the series, you're gonna need all manner of aid to get through this. Trust me, more help than you'll find at the liquor store.

David Carradine reprises his role as John Tucker, the monosyllabic, robotic glove wearing tough nut (no really!) in this somewhat superior sequel to the previous years Future Force. This time around our hero is joined by his son, played in typical hip form by director David A Prior's brother, and regular headliner, Ted. Oh, did I happen to mention that his son has come back from the future? Um.....anyway, to cut the story short, our father and son team must now take on a drug dealing no-gooder and his legions of lackeys. Yep, this inevitably spells out as lots of shootouts, a fair amount of fisticuffs and a few explosions thrown in for good measure. Best of all though is the glove! Yes, our remote controlled, laser firing little friend is back and as energetic as ever! .......Now where can I get me one of those wonderful things?!
