I just detected Trancers a couple of days ago, somehow I missed the movie back in the 80s (or I just don't remember watching it). I really like my 80s cheese strong, but I can't agree with those reviewers who call Trancers a cult, a classic, or a superstrong piece of cheese or something like that - the funny moments are not too many, the action scenes too. What else? We get a B movie budget production undeniable made in the 80s and a story that mixes Blade Runner and Terminator and such stuff, but not in the most interesting way, and I got to confess, even the short running time of around 80 minutes felt too long. I know a lot of cheesy low budget sci-fi movies of the 80s that are way more entertaining and funny: The Ice Pirates, Cherry 2000, Spacehunter: Adventures in the Forbidden Zone, Hell Comes to Frogtown just to name a few. Trancers is not a total mess, but I won't watch one of those 5 sequels (or 6 if you take one short movie in account too) - simply put, the power of cheese is not too strong in this one.
