The film itself stands up very well, and the transfer, bar the odd scene that is slightly fuzzy around the edges, can hold its head up high with other early-90s movies. What is also impressive is the film’s high-def upgrade. You have the classic good-versus-evil battle with Ron Silver taking almost pantomime-villain delight as Senator McComb, and Van Damme has never been better on the big screen than as the tormented Walker in a role that finally got the critics off his back for his rather hit-or-miss acting skills. However, these two bugbears do not stop Timecop being a very entertaining movie. You’ll also have to suspend your belief somewhat – even in 1994, I think it may have been a push to believe that, in ten years’ time, we would all own self-driving cars that look like something a Blue Peter presenter made.

The first thing I would suggest not to do is to try to follow the story, as the timelines are all over the place, and there are plot holes as big as your head. It also focuses on how many different ways Van Damme can kick ass.

Happily, though, the movie never really delves into those deep sorts of questions, and instead focuses on the greed of people, and how far they will go to ensure they get what they want. The plot poses an interesting question: if you could time travel, how could you police it, and stop people going back and changing things? What if Hilter was taken out before World War II? Would something bigger and more destructive and evil take its place? However, there is a bit of a twist, and rather than facing time travelling robots, the threat is a lot closer to home. I’ve always thought of Timecop as a bit of a bastard child of The Terminator, and viewing the film 16 years later, it is actually pretty obvious where it got the majority of its plot from. When Walker’s partner refuses to testify against McComb, Walker decides to go after him himself, which leads back to the fateful day in 1994 when his wife died – the attack wasn’t so random, after all. But all is not as it seems, as the senator in charge of the project, Aaron McComb (Ron Silver) is using time travel to fund his presidential campaign.

Ten years later, and Walker is a key member of the Time Enforcement Commission (TEC).
