Warning: Spoilers
In the crime-ridden future of 1991, FUTURE FORCE begins. There is no justice, and a mega-corporation runs all law enforcement. Wearing an awesome vest, Tucker (David Carradine) is one such law enforcement officer. He uses his enormous gun, along with kung fu to keep the streets safe. He also has a secret weapon in the form of a robotic glove. Said glove gives Tucker superhuman strength. It also shoots blue lasers!

It seems that the odious gang lord, Adams (Willian Zipp) and his heinous henchman, Becker (Robert Tessier) are causing mischief again.

Enter TV reporter, Marion (Anna Rapagna), who is looking for her big break. She's out to expose the corruption in the corporation, especially its ties to Adams, who has begun yelling a lot, and gesticulating like a cartoon character with a cactus in his pants.

When the corporate types decide to eliminate Marion, Tucker is dispatched to do the dirty work. Not-so shockingly, things get complicated, resulting in Tucker going "on the run" with Marion, giving him ample reason to don the glove.

Endless chase scenes, gun battles, and explosions erupt.

This all leads to the obligatory "final showdown" between Tucker and Adams, and Becker. The ensuing junkyard battle sequence features Tucker vs. Becker, complete with punches that sound like sacks of tomatoes hitting empty 55-gallon drums. It also includes the remote-controlled, flying robo-arm scene! Don't miss it!

THE MOST SUBLIME SCENE IN THE MOVIE: You will stare saucer-eyed when the preacher shoots down a helicopter with his rocket launcher! Cinema has known no better moment!...
