They just appear in mid-air above a pond or in front of a truck in the middle of the road. When people are successfully launched they end up in the past without that shuttle. In 2004 you step into a shuttle that is launched inside of a tunnel which has a big wall at the end.

Their are some strange stylistic choices made for the design of the future (which is still 2004): it’s full of weird armored cars that look really ugly and the whole time travel device is kind of strange. Yes, this is one of those movies that has a troubled cop as the main character. Van Damme’s character does everything by the book and seems to be incorruptible which is strange because breaking the law to save the life of your wife sure beats drinking hard every night and watching the same crappy home video over and over again. Timecop never goes that deep, it poses the question but never really answers it. Van Damme ends up fighting a corrupt senator who uses time travel to help him win the presidential elections, and who is also responsible for killing Van Damme’s wife in 1994, something which Van Damme finds out ten years later and now has the possibility to prevent, but that would make him a time criminal as well. So how do all these people in 2004 go back into time? The only thing I could think of was that criminals from even further into the future have gotten their hands on time travel equipment.

The weird thing is that there is an agency that polices time travel, yet the movie clearly states that there are only two time travel modules. Apparently people go back with knowledge about and weapons from the future and use that to have the upper hand in the past, whether that would be on the stock exchange or a simple robbery. Van Damme tracks down time criminals that create “ripples” in the past. Since it’s almost 2013 my advice would be to ignore these dates since the movie’s depiction of 2004 is kind of off to say the least. A division that monitors the abuse of time travel which was created the year time travel was invented which was ten years earlier when this movie was originally released. In Timecop Van Damme plays a cop in the near future of 2004(!), who’s enlisted with T.E.C. A curious combination, but it works out better than Pamela Anderson and comic book adaptations. Timecop brings two things together: Jean-Claude van Damme and comic book adaptations. Even the sublime Back To The Future had some problems, and movies written by lesser talented writers even more. Initially they hoped to make an official video game of Bloodsport itself, but when this fell through they instead developed fighting game Mortal Kombat – which proved to be one of the most popular video games of the 90s.Movies about time travel are always tricky as they eventually get tangled up in their own plots with people going back and forth and changing things. Although this project was ultimately abandoned, Boon and Tobias hit upon the idea of making a fighting game in which Van Damme himself was a playable character. In 1991, designers Ed Boon and John Tobias were assigned by their bosses at Midway Games to develop an adaptation of Van Damme’s movie Universal Soldier. It inspired the character of Johnny Cage in video game Mortal Kombatīloodsport’s popularity revitalised the American martial arts movie – and as a knock-on effect, the film also proved highly influential on the video game industry. On other occasions, Trump has said that his favourite movie was Citizen Kane, as well as Harrison Ford’s President on a plane movie Air Force One.

The New Yorker quoted Trump as saying he wanted to “get this two hour movie down to 45 minutes.” (Bloodsport is actually 92 minutes long.) Since Trump’s single term as President of the United States, a lot has been made of his reported love for Bloodsport – although the matter of whether it’s truly his all-time favourite is disputed.
