Future Cops

A Street Fighter inspired movie that is so bad that it is almost good!

The story is like this, M. Bison is about to be trial by a judge (Dicky Cheung) so Ken (Ekin Cheng), Toyota and King goes back in time to input a computer chip in the judge when he was 28 years old in high school in the year 1993. Vega (Andy Lau), Guile (Jacky Cheung), and Dhalsim (Simon Yam) [Aaron is Ryu be he is pretty much inexistent in the film].then follow them and help the future-to-be judge and ends in some hilarious results. And no I am not making this up.

The film already has a cult status because of the large cast of familiar names. The comedy of typical early nineties Hong Kong film fashion and the plot is just ridiculous. Sometimes, it really seems like the actors are desperate for money because some of the scenes are just down right distasteful. However, I must say that this rip-off of the Street Fighter franchise is still better than the uber terrible Hollywood version. Wong Jing, the director, uses lame special effects, slapstick comedy, laughable plot lines, and big unnecessary explosions to carry on with the film; and in a weird way, it succeeds.

Future Cop is just so bad that it is entertaining to watch. Some scenes like Jacky's singing lesson and the school Olympic event are very fun to watch, but overall, it is still a bad film at heart.
