"Past Force" or "Present Force" would have been a more appropriate title for this movie instead of FUTURE FORCE. Not even one attempt by the film-makers is being done to make this movie look futuristic. This movie looked already dated before it even came out. Well, except for this amazingly cool and cheap-looking plastic robot-glove David Carradine wears from time to time. This movie also could have been called "David Carradine's 80 minutes car drive", because that's about all he does in this movie. Well, okay, near the end he does kick a few punches. But, damn, he looks out of shape and indeed drunk most of the time.
Yep, this is one of those so-bad-it's-hilarious flicks. Why wasn't this one directed by Jim Wynorski? It would have been even more fun! Almost every five minutes there's a great laugh to be had with this flick. A couple of random examples: This movie features one of the most pathetic car-chases I've ever seen. Then the helicopter came on and I thought "Damn, where did the budget came from to hire it?" A few seconds later I was laughing again when they blew up that fake cardboard miniature helicopter. At one moment the chief of police (or whatever he is) is seen sipping some strong booze from a glass, smiling, clearly content with himself, not saying anything. I was waiting for the cut to the next scene, but instead he took another sip, and another... One of the best unintentional laughs I got out of this flick (and this is most definitely one of those re-wind moments) was when Carradine was driving the car and explaining to the reporter that he did not at any moment found all this to be funny, that he up until then did not laugh with anything at all... then he cranks up a smile and looks DIRECTLY into the camera. The editor (deliberately?) cut away just a few seconds too late. Maybe this was Carradine's way of saying to the director: "Screw you and your idiotic movie, hahaha!" The afore-mentioned robot-glove really is a hoot! It shoots silly animated blue lasers that almost always miss their target. It can punch through cardboard doors. And it can prevent a car from driving away just by grabbing it. Notice that Carradine and his wheel-chair-bound side-kick keep on nagging about "the remote control" throughout the whole movie. And when he finally activates it, you just wont believe your eyes. My friend and me jumped up from the sofa, laughing it up, out of sheer enjoyment. Just look at the way the totally NON-electronic suitcase opens itself. Just look at it fly through the air in all possible directions. Just look at it hitting and strangling the bad guy. Just look at it doing the a-okay sign. And all this by having Carradine pushing only ONE and the SAME friggin' button!
Yep, this truly is one of the better bad movies out there. And, on the contrary of what one fellow commentator mentioned, this flick does indeed contain some female nudity (just some naked boobies flashing on your screen, but still a joyful moment it was). I got even more enthusiastic when I learned this movie actually has a sequel called FUTURE ZONE, also starring David Carradine!!! Damn, I really need to get my hands on that baby, real fast!
