nicholls_les Sorry but this was a major let down. I watched it based on other reviews and thought it was going to compare to the Jean Claud van damn first film, which it really didn't. Jason Scott Lee still seems to be acting as Bruce Lee with a set of half a dozen moves. But the main problem with the film was that the storyline was just too messy. Little if any of it made any sense. Why go back to 1940, a year after the war started to try and stop it? And why did JSL feel it was necessary to stop the killing or Hitler? Shooting the girl made no sense as he could have gone back before this time and prevented the shooting of Hitler that way. The Jean Claud Van damn film was full of suspense and intrigue. This one was like a child's version.

joee357 I thought that this Movie was very entertaining it kind of reminds you of a Back to the Future with the parents and the son.Jason Scott Lee brought more than an action element to the movie he brought a personal touch and edge to it that most action films do not display.The only thing is a lot of people still see him as the Bruce Lee character that he did on the movie "Dragon the Bruce Lee Story" and that is because he did so well in it.If people can look past that and just watch the movie for what it is an action adventure you will definitely enjoy this movie.And look forward to the next.

oxblood I expected to see a sequel to this, Jean Claude Van Damme's best movie, years ago. When I saw the box to this video, I was suspicious at first. Now I recommend it to everyone who enjoyed the original. "Time Cop 2" is just as good. The story is even better.Jason Scott Lee, who's been absent for some time now, plays Ryan Chan, a time cop who takes his job seriously when he's not flirting with the TEC female doctor. While chasing down a time criminal in WWII Germany, one of his fellow operatives, Miller (Thomas Ian Griffith) sees an opportunity to kill Hitler. Mindful of the ramifications of altering the past, Chan stops Miller. Miller's wife , another operative is killed during the melee. Insane with grief, Miller turns renegede and is intent on wiping out Chan's existence by time jumping and killing his ancestors.The production value is excellent for a straight-to-video release and the fight action scenes are well-done (Lee and Griffith are well-trained martial artists who have a few genre movies under their belts).

davideo-2 STAR RATING:*****Unmissable****Very Good***Okay**You Could Go Out For A Meal Instead*Avoid At All CostsRyan Chan (Jason Scott Lee) is an enforcer for the Time Enforcement Commission which ensures those who attempt to alter the past to affect the present are caught and brought to trial.During one assignment transporting him back to 1940s Nazi Germany,his long time friend and fellow TE Officer Brandon Miller (Thomas Ian Griffith) suddenly decides to break the rules and tries to kill Hitler,causing Ryan to intervene and resulting in the death of Miller's girlfriend,who was in on the act too.He is incarcerated in a prison for the criminally insane,whilst Ryan is given a 30 day suspension.However,upon his release,Ryan learns of Miller's plot to eradicate the present,causing him to race back through time to catch him,as events build to Ryan learning shattering facts about how his past will affect his present.The original 1994 film,with Jean Claude Van Damme in the lead role,was a film that was ultimately destined for a sequel,even if it would be 10 years later and a smaller budget,straight to video effort.And,in Lee,the producers have found a worthy and credible successor to Van Damme.Griffith,who,many years ago was rather self righteously promoted on the front cover of his Excessive Force as the 90s successor to Steven Seagal and Chuck Norris,here appears in what must be his most high profile role in years (if not,surely in his whole career!) as the bad guy.He does have a rather engaging presence though,it must be said,and plays off well and has engaging chemistry with Lee in the hero and villain role respectively.Some of the action's nothing to sniff at,either.With both the lead stars being proficent martial arts experts,most of this revolves around some nicely chereographed fight scenes here and there,and in turn not disappointing in any way in that department.For it all,though,Timecop 2 is,as I stated,an avoidable experience,with it's disjointed,vaguely incoherent (and,sometimes it seems,none existent) storyline and ultra predictable script which offers little in the way of surprises.It's short running time means it can't be considered that much of an arguous ordeal,but,for it's duration,it strictly passes the time rather than going any way in making you think anyone should ever enforce it.**
