It's always good to start a future movie with a spooky narrator telling you serious shit to set the mood, and in this case we get some important info on the state of future affairs. Things are looking pretty bleak... And so is David Carradine!
He slurs his lines, walks awkward, and his lazy beer gut is on display. His disinterest in being in the movie is actually amusing, but it doesn't prevent him from cleaning up crime and dishing out justice. And thanks to his computer-nerd friend, Billy, Tucker has his own real goddamn Power Glove weapon, and it's totally bad-ass!
The C.O.P.S. should rename themselves G.O.P.S. because they're all a bunch of Goons, most of them looking like rejected members of a Dr. Hook & the Medicine Show tribute band. These oddballs fit into this collapsing future world well, because despite having Video Phones in their cars, people still use old cowboy six-shooters to kill each other in the streets. It's no wonder that no one stands a chance against the Power Glove, because it can do some really hilarious and mind-bending stuff when its remote control powers are finally activated.

The most memorable character would have to be the villain's main hatchetman, played by Robert Tessier. He just seems to be having a really good time and enjoys the role, and he does it all without a mullet unlike everyone else in the movie.
Not much seems resolved at the end besides Tucker getting the job done, but I guess that's why they made a sequel!

Be sure not to miss:
- Fittingly, the bar's sign is misspelled, The Demiliterized Zone
- A convenient cliff in the middle of the city?
- The movie has a hard time deciding what C.O.P.S. stands for.
Internet review:
"That poodle mullet just struck me, and was featured rather prominently throughout the film." - Matt
Should I watch it?
Fun enough to make it worthwhile, and I'll be checking the sequel.
Where can I find it?
It's on YouTube
Future Force gets... (an extra half ham just for the Power Glove)
