A 1985 film about a cop from 300 years in the future who is sent back to 1985 to protect the ancestors of his leaders from a psychic killer. Released in Australia and possibly some other areas as "Future Cop".
A total of six films were released, the final five were direct-to-video.
!!Tropes in the first film:
* AwesomeMcCoolname: Jack Deth
* FishOutOfTemporalWater: The first film has some interesting nods.
* FutureFoodIsArtificial: Implied.
-->'''Jack Deth:''' I'm from another time, another world. I don't even know what you people eat for lunch.
* HeyItsThatGuy: A 22 year old Helen Hunt, 10 years before her AcademyAward.
** The star is Tim Thomerson, who never made it ''big'', but was a charismatic actor who was often proclaimed to be the king of B-movies (in competition with Bruce Campbell).
* ItsASmallWorldAfterAll: Jack hops into his ancestor who had just met and slept with a girl who he promised to take to work in the morning, and at her work it turns out the MallSanta she worked with was a trancer! What are the odds!?
* MindControlConspiracy: Whistler has been in the past long enough and his ancestor was in a high enough position in the police department that the police could not be trusted.
* MindControlEyes: Not eyes but ''skin'', in this case.
* NamesToRunAwayFromReallyFast: Taken the wrong way by the man Jack Deth is trying to save.
-->"Your name is 'Death'? Forget it, I'm not going up there!"
* PermaStubble: Jack Deth. Interestingly, the reason for that was shown in-universe. Jack's ancestor had his face lathered up and was about to shave when Jack jumped into his body. Since Jack didn't know anything about twentieth-century shaving methods, he just wiped the foam off his face and went unshaven for the rest of the movie.
* PluckyComicRelief: The homeless ancestor they pick up.
* RealityEnsues: [[spoiler:Build a receptacle into the handle of a gun to hold two uncushioned glass vials of the drug needed to return to the future, and firing the gun or tossing it around is ''probably'' going to break one of them.]]
