Timecop (1994) – Jean-Claude Van Damme Kicks Through the Space-Time Continuum
Description
Jean-Claude Van Damme is a time-traveling cop with a mullet powered by grief and LA Looks gel, and we are absolutelyhere for it. This week on Rewind or Die, Adam, Jeff, and Steve go deep on 1994’s Timecop—the rocket-sled-to-a-wall sci-fi action “classic” where politicians commit time crimes, Mia Sara explodes after ten minutes, and Ron Silver gets paradoxed into hamburger soup.
We cover:
- Why Timecop might actually be more scientifically accurate than Primer (according to Adam, which is terrifying)
- The lost Timecop Happy Meal toys that should’ve existed
- How this movie beat Forrest Gump at the box office for one glorious weekend
- Bruce McGill in a mesh tank top as the true hero of the future year… 2004
Plus: the shocking Back to the Future fast-food conspiracy, Sloane Peterson’s brief leap from Ferris Bueller to exploding spouse, and the Timecop 2: Totino Protocol pitch you didn’t know you needed.
Next week: We move from time crimes to suburban paranoia with The ’Burbs (1989).
