Future Zone (1990)
4/10
Even less like the future than the previous film!

Warning: Spoilers
This is one of those films that is a sequel, but then it is not a sequel. Basically, think Ghost Rider. The second one has Nicolos Cage and acts like a sequel, but then the story does not really reference the first film at all and goes into an entirely different direction. Well, this film is more of a sequel than that film was, but not by much as John Tucker is back and played by David Carradine and he once again is part of the redneck cop brigade, but nothing that happened in that film seems to have any bearing on this film at all. In face, other than the super powerful glove, there is absolutely nothing futuristic about this film as it may take place in Mobile Alabama, so even the cops looking as they do is pretty much par for the course...

The story, John Tucker is back and arresting people while a mysterious person who appears amid glowing light and is definitely not John Tucker's son appears! Okay, it is his son, but good old John takes nearly the entire movie to figure this out. Well, for some reason these idiots dealing in coke want to take John out even though he is not really all that close to solving it and set him up numerous times and lots of shooting as his son helps. Also, the big time dealer in this one can get a girl to massage him while she is topless, but cannot afford a new roof over his modest home with hideous decor...

David Carradine is back in this one and he actually seems to be in better shape for this one than he did the previous film. Good idea putting him in a more formal police uniform with sleeves. He looks less white trash this time. I thought this film was watchable and a bit more enjoyable than the first film, but still not great. You do not need to see the first film to watch this one as it just does not seem like it is set in the same universe at all. Just has John Tucker back and his glove.

So, not a bad horrific film that makes you wish you were having a root canal done, but rather a cheesy bad film that was fun to watch and laugh at all the stupid things going on. I have certainly seen David in worse films that is for sure! A lot of things differ from the first film as I think this one takes place in a whole different part of the world and now Tucker has either a girlfriend or wife who is a bit more suitable for him than the total babe he one over from the first film. This one has leopard panties, I definitely see a woman with leopard panties dating Tucker, it would be a prerequisite.
