Trancers 5: Sudden Deth (1994)

Except for a cameo in the excoriable Evil Bong, this would be the last time that Tim Thomerson would play Jack Deth. Yes, there’s a sixth movie and we’ll get to that soon enough, but this is his swan song.

Jack is trying to find his way home from the other-dimensional world of Orpheus, which is kind of like the European era of knights and swords, except that Trancers run things and living in a Castle of Unrelenting Terror, led by Caliban.

According to the IMDB, Charles Band paid Tim Thomerson for the last two films in these series with off-shore dollars which had U.S. currency value, but could only be spent in Romania. I would assume that the man who is Jack Deth (and Brick Bardo) owns an entire town over there.

There’s a recap of part 4, because you know, if there’s one thing you can expect in a Full Moon movie, it’s an eight-minute piece of other films inserted into the one that you’re watching so that the running time gets padded like a pre-pubescent bra.

That said, I would watch Jack Deth go to the grocery store. It would probably be better than this.

You can watch this on Tubi.
