IN READING GUIDES, LISTS, REVIEWS

In TimeCop (1994), Dark Horse comics had a financial success. With Jean-Claude Van Damme as Max Walker, a Timecop of the Time Enforcement Commission and Mia Sara as Melissa Walker, the movie broke Time-Travel rules. Though, inspired from the eponymous anthology by Mark Verheiden, it received mixed reviews.

Let’s list five times why a Timecop broke Time Travel.

5. COMIC: MAX’S TRAVEL TO SOUTH AFRICA CREATES RIPPLES IN TIME

In TimeCop: A Man Out of Time (1994), Max Walker accidentally witnesses breaking time rules. When John Adam Packer travels to 1930s South Africa with his robot bodyguard, the timecop investigates. Though Walker apprehends Packer before he can steal diamond, the travel creates ripples.

 

4. FILM: EX AGENT LYLE DEFIES TEC AFTER BLACKMAIL


In the TimeCop script, TEC agents must follow time rules and not use time-travel for personal gain. Indeed, ex-agent Lyle Atwood violates that rule. When he is blackmailed by senator McCombs, Lyle engages in time–travel to the Great Depression to fund McCombs’ presidential campaign. Though, Walker arrests him back to 2004.

WATCH TIMECOP.

3. TV: HEMMINGS GOES BACK IN TIME TO PREVENT PARTNERS’ DEATHS

In the spin-off TimeCop series, episode 8 titled “D.O.A.”, a timecop must prevent her partners’ deaths. Perhaps, when she time-travels, she attempts to solve their murders. At the same time,  attempting to save them definitely creates  ripples in time.

 

2. COMICS: A ROBOT IN M’BOTO’S TIME HELPS END APARTHEID EARLIER

In the anthologyy comic, the robot bodyguard changes history in South Africa. More importantly, Max returns to destroy the robot with M’Boto’s help. Though, we learn that M’Boto’s success has helped him lead South Africa to the end of Apartheid earlier in the 1950s. 

1. FILM: MAX INTERACTS WITH YOUNGER SELF

Perhaps, the greatest time violation by Max Walker. In order to avenge his wife Melissa, Max hunts McCombs across time. Bizarrely, he interacts with his younger self and even causes the old and young McCombs to collide and die.
