Trancers 3: Deth Lives Audience Reviews

Intcatinfo A Masterpiece!
Dynamixor The performances transcend the film's tropes, grounding it in characters that feel more complete than this subgenre often produces.
Fairaher The film makes a home in your brain and the only cure is to see it again.
Logan By the time the dramatic fireworks start popping off, each one feels earned.
FlashCallahan If you have t seen the original Trancers film, and it's sequel, you'd be forgiven to think that this was just some random TV pilot that never made it to fruition.Jack Deth is timejacked to 2247 to save Angel City from a new wave of trancers. His mission is to find the origin of the trancers and end it with extreme prejudice. Jack learns that the new trancer program is government sponsored, and that his usual shoot everything attitude might not work this time. With R.J. and Shark, a crystal powered cyborg, Deth will have to find a way inside the trancer program and shut it down........It's bonkers for sure, But the way that everyone keeps a straight face throughout the whole thing is beyond me.....there is so much breaking of the fourth wall, and winking to the camera, you'd think that this was almost a fan made film.Thomerson has a classic screen presence, like he should have starred in some big movies from the thirties, but instead he became the B-movie Clarke Gable, and gained a massive following from doing so.Helen Hunt turns up looking a little bemused by the whole thing, as she was obviously hitting the big time around this point, and must have been contracted to do the whole blooming thing.It's really cheap, we have a random monster that travels around in a cheap looking Tardis, and Andrew Robinson plays the villain, because Ronny Cox must have been doing some other bad guy duty.It's an acquired taste, but although it's not very good, it's not on for very long, and it's bright and breezy.
bdk_solo I'm a big fan of the entire Trancer Series (except maybe part 5). But part 3 is by far my favorite. We still have the same formula with Jack Deth trying to kill Trancers. But this one has a little more fun than the other films. The one-liners are top notch. Tim Thomerson is on fire with his delivery of one-liners. The villains are similar (Trancers but this time with military training) but it's the relationships/dynamic and dialogue between the heroes that make this movie awesome! The banter between Jack and Harris and Shark are all great.SPOILERS Jack Deth is not your conventional hero and he has no problem showing that when he doesn't hesitate to kill the damsel in distress. He doesn't argue that they can find a way to beat or cure her Trancer virus. He just shoots her. Best line: God Damn it, Shark! Why don't you help me get this dizzy bitch off of me!?!
Scott LeBrun I'm a fan of what I've seen so far from the "Trancers" film series. Granted, the second was somewhat disappointing, but the premise is still fun here, and it's executed in fine B movie fashion. Tim Thomerson is once again hugely enjoyable as sarcastic, sardonic Trancer hunter Jack Deth. Some of his former co-stars have no more than extended cameos, but there are great contributions by some new cast members.Written and directed by C. Courtney Joyner, this sees Jack working as a low rent private eye in 1992, complete with a hilariously cheesy, inept commercial, who's abducted and taken down the line to the year 2352, where he finds out that the Trancers have taken over and made life miserable for the humans that are left. He's assigned by Harris (Stephen Macht) to go back in time to the year 2005, to try to destroy those damn Trancers at their source.This sequel is very short and sweet (even shorter than the first movie), with decent action, makeup effects by the KNB guys, and good production design for the low budget. As usual, there are some good laughs to be had. Only the conclusion fails to be truly satisfying, serving mainly to set up further sequels. What this movie does have is a great villain, played to the hilt by Andrew Robinson of "Dirty Harry" fame; the role was actually written with Robinson in mind. It's nice to see Helen Hunt, Megan Ward, and Telma Hopkins from the previous entries. R.A. Mihailoff is a hoot as towering alien Shark, whom Jack takes to calling "Godzilla". And the script does come up with an interesting explanation for how the Trancers came to exist in the first place.In the end, it's the wonderful Thomerson who makes the "Trancers" series what it is; it wouldn't be the same without him.Seven out of 10.
The Creeper I liked this movie, as I tend to like movies from Full Moon Pictures. However, unlike some people, I would not go as far as to say that it was the best of the Series. I have only seen parts I, III, and VI, and so far, I & VI were both better than this. Why? First off, in this movie, the thrills and scares don't really come at a good time. The action builds up to a point to where Jack is "bullet proof", so we know what to expect, and end up bored. Also, nothing really makes us pay full attention to this movie.I would recommend it, but would recommend you get Part VI before.About 8 out of 10 pointsFans of Movies like this should Check out Puppet Master, Slumber Party Massacre, Skinned Alive, Sleep Away Camp, and other Full Moon Pictures flicks.
