User Review - 6/10 by Walter CBasically a continuation of part 4 with the exact same tone and sense of humor. Lots of fun if you enjoy campy films.
User Review - 6/10 by Phil MTrancers 5: Sudden Deth is a direct continuation of the story from part 4 (which were shot back-to-back) keeping with the exact same tone and feel, which is vastly different from the first 3 films. Now that the Trancer empire has fallen, the humans attempt to figure out how to send Jack back to his home. Along with the dead Trancer king's son Prospero (who switched sides in part 4), Deth embarks on a journey to the Castle of Unrelenting Terror to fetch a jewel that is capable of sending him home. Aside from dealing with the unrelenting terrors (which are quite hilarious) the castle has to offer, they must also contend with the remaining Trancers whose king (returning Clabe Hartley) is resurrected and looking to get back at Deth. This follows the same formula as the previous one. All sci-fi action has now been replaced with mostly sword and sorcery. The comedy is kicked up much higher in these ones, especially in part 5. The film does sport a nice conclusion that I wish was the final end of the Trancers franchise, but alas, there is a 6th one, which has no Jack Deth in it save for archive footage. Anyone interested in seeing Tim Thomerson as Jack Deth again should check out his small, but cool cameo in Evil Bong. Overall, part 5 is a nice end piece to part 4, but still very different and a far cry from the first three films. Not bad though.
User Review - 6/10 by Allan CStill trapped on an alien world, Jack Deth finds a possible way back home. But in the meantime, an old foe returns. Set one month after the events of the last movie (both obviously filmed at the same time), this entry in gthe franchise continues the story in the same kind of style. The story is slightly better than the previous, and all the more confusing elements removed. Tim Thomerson still has some good comedic lines. With another short running time time (73 minutes), this movie is just about makes it to a bulk standard concluson. In the end, this reviewer feels that it was ok, but not a patch on earlier entries.
User Review - 4/10 by Zach MThis was the last Trancers movie I decided to watch. I know there is a 6th film but without Tim Thomerson it just isn't the same and this was the worst movie of the series.
User Review - 4/10 by Rim PTrancers 5 continues immediately from the fourth film titled Jack of Swords, as trancer legend Jack Deth is still stranded in Orpheus, and learns of a Tiamond that can return him to his own time. This one begins with a lengthy recap of the events of the previous entry, and doesn't let up one bit from there. This is most likely due to the fact that it's very low budget, and very short. Add to this the responsibility of having to get the movie completed in time for release alongside part 4. Anyway, Trancers 5 has a few memorable scenes, mostly involving Jack himself. The end result is a (mostly) disappointing one with little cheers. But hats off to Tim Thomerson for playing Jack this long. I'd definitely watch this over Trancers 6 any day, along with its predecessors.
User Review - 4/10 by Grace SThis one continues right after the fourth part, which was a very short film also. So short in fact, that you have to wonder why they didn't just make em' as the one movie. Anyway, ignoring that for a minute, this film will provide a chuckle or two, mainly due to the seriously bad acting from Thomerson and the supporting actors. Although one exception here is Stacie Randall, who has a duel role, playing the lovely Lyra in not one, but two dimensions. Some of the plot elements are cleverly lifted from Asterix, but it is nice to see the writer was a fan. After it was over, I felt kind of mad knowing the true Trancers films were finished and if Thomerson decides to return, I'd like him to be exactly like the wisecracking detective he was in the original.
User Review - 4/10 by James BPart 2 of number #4, Cop Deth is still trying to get back home from this unusual world, again the film still manages to avoid being terrible but the spark of the series is draining away.
User Review - 4/10 by Corey BSlightly better than part 4 if only because the villains are offscreen for the most of it and Deth is back in the spotlight. The low budget doesn't help, but it's extremely short (minus credits and a long preamble, it's only about an hour long).
User Review - 4/10 by Shane JOk how to rip off fans this could easily been tagged onto the end of 4 as its only really about an hour long.
User Review - 4/10 by Shawn WTrancers 5: Sudden Deth was made during a period where Full Moon was in the habit of making films back to back, so this one was filmed the same time that Trancers 4: Jack of Swords was made. Jack Deth (Tim Thomerson) is still stuck in this medieval setting, still trying to put an end to the vampire-like trancers plaguing this world and he is still trying to make it back home to his own dimension. The only thing this film isn't still being is fun. Sudden Deth is the most rushed feeling entry of the series, and the most empty. There was far too much going on in this movie, and there wasn't equal time spent focusing on all of these different character's storylines. So at times it was easy to lose track of what was going on, and who was who and what exactly they were doing. Plus, the film flows extremely awkward. There is a scene of action, followed up with a dreadfully long scene of dull dialogue. It all got repetitive after a while. The action in this film once again returns to that very anti-climatic style that made the first couple of entries in the series difficult to watch. Even central villain Caliban (Clade Hartley) wasn't given any time to truly become the menace he should have been. And the final showdown between Jack and Caliban was a tremendous letdown. Such a shame that no time was spent on developing Caliban, especially since he is the only villain of the series to appear in more than one film. The only saving grace for this film was once again Tim Thomerson as Jack Deth. It's weird that two of the weaker entries in the series, both part 4 and 5, were the ones where Jack Deth finally came to life as a character. Thomerson really seemed to be enjoying himself in this film, and he was a blast to watch on screen. So this finished up the Trancers box set I purchased last week. This certainly isn't one of the better series from Full Moon, but for the most part these are entertaining movies. I wouldn't recommend the average filmgoer to seek out these films, but for those who enjoy Full Moon movies I think these should make for a decent time.
