Future Force (1989)
1/10
Graduates from The Empire's School for Stormtroopers

Warning: Spoilers
Yes, many more have graduated. In the far off future of 1991, the police will be replaced by civilian contractors. Each must first pass the high standards of marksmanship set by The Empire's Stormtroopers. Not only must they miss their quarry, they must miss all clothes, vehicles, and nearby props entirely. Until now, only stormtroopers had been so precise.

In Future Force, David Caradine's character of John Tucker is shot at repeatedly with all kinds of different weapons. However not one bullet hole is shown anywhere near him. He is shot at with machine guns, shotguns, and pistols. His truck is never damaged by bullet holes throughout the entire movie. Tucker himself is shot twice by what appears to be a very experienced murderer, Becker. Tucker gets back up with only a trickle of blood dripping from the edge of his mouth without any sign of a bruise, cut, nor BULLET HOLE.

Yes, these civilian contractors must have assuredly graduated SUMMA CUM LAUDE from The Empire's School for Stormtroopers.

One amazing scene shows a couple of those contractors walking towards Tuckers vehicle from about 50 feet behind. Tucker tells the woman reporter to put her head down. Tucker then teleports himself out of the truck to a place unseen by the two contractors. Sometimes movie magic is just so mind-numbingly incredible!

This movie was included in Echo Bridge Home Entertainment's DVD SCI-FI SIX PACK COLLECTOR'S SET (UPC# 0 96009 54329 7). The box set came with three DVD cases each with its own catalog number (54309, 54319, 54799), no UPC #, and designated "NOT FOR INDIVIDUAL RESALE". Each case came with two DVDs:

54309:

  • Firehead...............UPC #0 96009 51529 4


  • Space Mutiny.........UPC #0 96009 51599 7


54319:

  • Future Force..........UPC #0 96009 51579 9


  • Future Zone...........UPC #0 96009 51589 9


54799:

  • Prey of the Jaguar...UPC #0 96009 49619 7


  • Conspiracy of Fear...UPC #0 96009 51509 6


I guess the box was originally designed to house four DVD cases, because Echo Bridge graciously---free and without fanfare on the packaging---added two rectangular pieces of cardboard to fill in the extra space.

* Civilian Operated Police Systems (according to the sign on the entrance to the headquarters)**

** Civilian Operated Police Incorporated (according to the narrator)***

*** Civilian Operated Police State (according to Echo Bridge Home Entertainment's DVD case's description)

**** Establishing shot shows car in a seemingly deserted dirt road with railroad tracks. In closeups of Marion (Anna Rapagna) and Tucker, cross traffic is blurry but clearly visible not far behind them. Later, two C.O.P.S. are seen walking towards the car with a truck parked behind them. Only the front tire is visible. There is no traffic. The next camera angle through the Cherokee shows a different location with a different truck where the rear wheel is clearly visible. In the mirror they appear to be in the original deserted location.

***** Front camera angles show Tucker and Marion clearly looking at the center console as they watch and react to their helper, Billy, talking on-screen. However shots from behind the couple show no signs of the TV anywhere.
