I'm surprised there isn't a review on here for the Trancers series AKA Future Cop. Trancers is like a B-grade version of Blade Runner (made by the legendary Charles Band), which follows the adventures of Jack Deth, a burnt out, cynical bounty hunter/cop played by Tim Thomerson. It also features a rather young looking Helen Hunt. This is a very cool B film and contains some great oneliners. Anyone seen this film?
Also, it would be cool to see a review for Hostage Flight, a B-grade film about well hostages who hijack a plane. Not very original film, terrible wooden acting, but a neat twist in the ending, plus the opening theme song is *so* 1980s, which has similar synthesisers to the Knight Rider theme.
Also, has anyone seen the original Spiderman movies made in 1977, 1978 and 1979? These are terrific and also worth a watch or review.

I have not gotten around to the "Trancers" yet, but intend to someday. There are several franchise movies that I have yet to start, "Critters" or "Ghoulies" have been on my mind for a little while.
You must mean the made-for-TV Spiderman movies. I know of them, but have not seen them. Never went looking for them, because I figured they would come to DVD sooner or later.
For the most part, what I run into is "too many movies and too little time."
I have seen the first Trancers and enjoyed it. I like a lot of Tim Thomerson's work.
I remember the Spiderman made for TV movie, which led to a short lived series, but I don't recall there having been three movies; unless they pasted a few episodes together and played them as movies.
There were at least two of those made-for-TV Spiderman films. At least, I remember a gray market VHS dealer having two of them. Maybe the second was just a cobbling together of episodes.
I remember that the series followed shortly after the movie; and that was one of the big deals about the movie was that a series would follow. Of course, they could have made another TV movie after the series, as they did with The Incredible Hulk (now that had two movies before the series was kicked off).
Nicholas Hammond played Spiderman in the 1977 made for TV (the k iss of death) movie pilot of SPIDERMAN.As well in the short lived series.It was a backlash of the success of the HULK tv show.Also,I recall a DR.STRANGE pilot as well,and a Thor (!) guest shot on a few Hulk made for TV movies.
There is a VHS Spiderman movie made out of the episodes Photo Finish & A Matter Of State, as I have that one.
And, of course, "Turkish Spiderman". Feel the love.
in deed, there is an extra large list of movies non-listes in reviews... but, well... i think thats why this forum...
yeah... i have seen just one of those spidermovies... dont know wich exactly... and i didnt knew about the turkish version... the only turkish version i have seen is star wars... and i didnt find it too darn good... hope that spiderturkey blow me
