YMMV / Trancers

• Big-Lipped Alligator Moment: Lenna driving into the man's house during the chase, then going out the front door. Not only is it not important to the film, just Leena isn't even acting like the police were chasing her.
• Complete Monster: Martin Whistler is a man with Psychic Powers, which he uses to enslave the weak-willed and make them into monsters known as Trancers. After Jack Deth defeats him, he decides to use time travel in order to kill ancestors of the leaders of the society of his time, which would make the world retain its former post-apocalyptic status, all so he can Take Over the World. He successfully kills two of the ancestors. When he finds the final one, he threatens to massacre an entire hobo camp if they don't turn him over, then has his goons fire on the entire group. After Jack makes a false deal with Whistler to let him have the future for his Love Interest, Whistler drops her off the building anyways, intending for Jack to "witness his own death".
• Designated Hero: Jack Deth becomes this at the end of the film when he goes on living in the present in his ancestor's body, functionally killing him.
• Moral Event Horizon: Whistler ordering his goons to fire on a hobo camp after they gave him what he wanted.
• Retroactive Recognition: Helen Hunt in the first two movies. She would go on to co-star in the show Mad About You, which lead to more high-profile film roles. She came back to do a cameo in the third movie as a favor.
• They Wasted a Perfectly Good Plot: The use of time travel to inhabit your ancestors' bodies throughout history would seem like it could open up hundreds of possibilities for interesting stories, a la Quantum Leap or Assassin's Creed crossed with Blade Runner. Instead, Deth spends the first three movies either in the future or in then-contemporary Los Angeles, then two more movies in a fantasy-inspired universe, with only the final movie putting him in a new body (and that one was not well received).
• Values Dissonance: The constant mocking of the male police chief about his 1984 ancestor being a nine-year-old blonde girl comes across as horribly transphobic.
