Future Force Audience Reviews

SunnyHello Nice effects though.
Acensbart Excellent but underrated film
Livestonth I am only giving this movie a 1 for the great cast, though I can't imagine what any of them were thinking. This movie was horrible
Janae Milner Easily the biggest piece of Right wing non sense propaganda I ever saw.
jaigurudavid The only pleasant aspect of this movie is the beautiful Anna Rapagna. The only thing futuristic about this movie is that we are watching it in their future. Terrible soundtrack, terrible movie.
Scott LeBrun In this oh-so-moderately "futuristic" sci-fi actioner, crime is out of control, and existing police departments prove to be inefficient. So a new privately run organization, "C.O.P.S." (Civilian Operated Police Systems), which exists of rough and tough bounty hunters, is created to solve the problem. One of their top men is John Tucker (David Carradine of 'Kung Fu' and "Kill Bill" fame), but he doesn't quite go it alone. He has a young friend named Billy (D.C. Douglas) who assists him in technological matters, such as giving him a super-duper robotic "arm". Trouble brews when incriminating evidence is collected against corrupt C.O.P.S. head honcho Adams (William Zipp), and he orders a hit on crusading TV newswoman Marion (Anna Rapagna). Tucker is first to track her down, but he insists on taking her alive."Future Force" is pretty much average for this brand of entertainment. It has cheesy B movie charm, especially in the form of that robotic arm, as well as an amusingly cast Carradine, slumming it once again, and even seeming to be drunk in more than one scene. In the hands of writer / director David A. Prior ("Sledgehammer", "Killer Workout", "Deadly Prey"), it has enough effective forward momentum to work against the sense of deja vu. The supporting cast is adequate, although it is the villainy of co-star Robert Tessier ("The Longest Yard" '74, "Hard Times") that raises the rating of this one by a star. His is the kind of movie henchman who clearly enjoys what he does, and Tessier is rarely to be seen without a smile on his face. B movie lovers will also note the presence of sexy Dawn Wildsmith ("Surf Nazis Must Die", "Hollywood Chainsaw Hookers") as a member of C.O.P.S. who has a soft spot for Tucker.Perhaps the most amusing thing about "Future Force" is the subsequent release of a slightly more recent feature, "John Tucker Must Die". You have to wonder if the writer of JTMD has ever seen this one; certainly that would make for an adequate alternate title.Followed by "Future Zone".Six out of 10.
Woodyanders David Carradine has done more than his fair share of stinkers throughout his career. This delightfully dreadful doozy rates highly as one of poor Dave's more entertainingly awful films. A seriously dumpy, weary, and out of shape Carradine stars as John Tucker, a rugged bounty hunter who pounds a gritty city beat in a bleak lawless near future that's right around the corner. Tucker has to protect perky TV news reporter Marion Sims (the cute Anna Rapagna) from the vile clutches of corrupt police chief Jason Adams (essayed with snarly hambone aplomb by William Zipp) and his brutish henchman Becker (leering veteran chromedome heavy Robert Tessier). Moreover, Tucker has to fend off his fellow bounty hunters after he's wrongfully accused of murder by Adams. Written and directed with staggering incompetence by David A. Prior, further undermined by dismal dialogue (sample line: "I want her dead in a box six feet underground"), poky pacing, clumsily staged action scenes, drab cinematography, a horrible head-bangin' rock soundtrack, several gnarly strip club sequences (WARNING: fleeting gratuitous nudity alert!), slack editing, and a woefully unconvincing depiction of the future (all the clothes, hairstyles, automobiles, and so on look like the present circa 1990), this hilariously horrendous honey makes for often unintentionally uproarious viewing. Gut-busting highlights include one of the single most lame car chases ever committed to celluloid, the ridiculously fake-looking exploding plastic helicopter, and the simply glorious moment when Tucker's nerdy crippled electronics whiz sidekick Billy (the insufferably geeky D.C. Douglas) gets blown away and falls out of his wheelchair dead. But the funniest moment period occurs when Tucker's funky metallic glove gets activated so it can fly throw the air, repeatedly punch Becker, and eventually strangle the mean no-good baddie (said glove also fires these cool blue lasers and can punch through cardboard doors). A deliciously cheesy hoot.
wilbertvonbork My vote is a perfect 10...for perfectly awful. This video was for sale and I gobbled it up because I thought that it was FutureZone, the sequel to this film. I saw FutureZone years ago and laughed to joyous content. And although Kill Bill v2 was just a hilarious, at least the David Carradine scenes, this film doesn't make me run to the bomb shelter (its important to note that Tarintino's v2 work had everything, including a kitchen sink full of puke, I left the theater thinking Armegeddon could begin at any second...for there was no turd left unturned in that magnum opus). Anyway, this film was everything I wanted and more, the robot laser cannon is really the icing on the pudding.
