Future Zone

* - Unlike its predecessor “Future Force”, this unnecessary sequel manages to look slightly better than as if it was filmed by some yutz wandering around an industrial park with a camcorder. However, the acting is no better; although star David Carradine does at least look to be in less of a beery haze this time out. The highlight of this movie is the fact that Carradine has apparently traded in his old, worn-out Jeep Cherokee from the first film and replaced it with an even older, more worn-out Dodge RamCharger. I guess Reaganomics even took its toll on aging, barely-mobile action stars.

Future Force

* - David Carradine stars as a paunchy Levi-wearing Rent-A-Cop of the future (mid-1990s) who dispenses justice from the back of his beat-up Jeep Cherokee using a six-shooter and a Nintendo PowerGlove. This Miller Lite fueled slab of pure ‘80s garbage is one of the most ambitiously bad movies I have ever had the pleasure of watching. I’ve seen some poor acting in my day, but I think this one takes the prize for worst ever combined performance by a cast. About a quarter of this film takes place inside the most depressing nudie bar you’ll ever see.
