#Timecop episode 1 how to#He’s also “cool” in goofy ways like he can sense that a guy on rollerblades in the mall is a purse snatcher (yeah, I’ve seen that episode of CHiPs too) and knows how to put his boot right in front of the guy’s face without touching him. It was the first time I actually thought that might come back some day. He’s so cool in this he had me thinking even his mullet looks good. Instead he and his wife Melissa (Mia Sara, LEGEND) get blown up before he’s recruited and then it cuts to a future where he’s already a well-established Timecop. This could easily follow a MEN IN BLACK trajectory and have Max start the job at the Time Enforcement Commission so we can learn all about it through his eyes. Knowing the future presents ample opportunities for get-rich-quick schemes (for example, in the opening a guy uses a futuristic machine gun to steal gold from the Confederate Army), but the government worries this could butterfly-effect shit up, so they try to control it. Jean-Claude Van Damme (BREAKIN’) plays Max Walker, a regular cop who’s about to be recruited to a new secret government agency that travels back in time to stop other time travelers from changing history. I decided to disqualify it when I read on the production notes extra that it was originally written as a script and then made into a Dark Horse Comics series, but I’m glad I watched it first, because it’s better than I remembered. Recently when I ranked all the ’90s comic book movies for Polygon I rewatched TIMECOP for the first time since that decade.
