    the ending of the movie deserved some major discussion. for those who didn't watch the movie or couldn't sit through the whole thing, here it is .. and bare in mind this is after 90 mins of one of the most confusing movies i've ever seen

    big fight scene. good ninja wins (at least i think he was the good guy) and gets ugly statue back so the bad ninja does the honorable thing and, with a little flick of the wrist, blows himself up. good ninja looks behind as if to say "Uh?" .. THE END ... THIS MOVIE IS NUTS!!!

     

    EDIT: i decided to make notes watching this because paul had built it up so much. My first note was "Ninja Lanterns?" and my last note was "Did he just explode himself??"

     

     

     

    Thank god someone else brought up the ending!!

     

    Is that a Ninja thing?! No no it absolutely is not.

     

    It reminded me of the feeling I got years ago when a friend showed me Dead or Alive by Takashi Miike. Its a good film, great fairly normal violence until you get to the final fight when

    this happens... :blink:

    I think it's actually worse than that. A law that says "The same matter cannot occupy the same place at the same time" is just another way of saying, "The same matter has to be somewhere else at any given time because it can't be occupying the space where it is." This is a supremely nihilist law of physics that requires that the only space matter cannot occupy is the space the matter is occupying at that moment.

     

    I get that all science fiction has to invent new physical laws or imagine that today's technological hurdles have been surmounted (Star Wars has The Force, Star Trek has Warp Drive...) but it seems pretty glaring to me that Time Cop's contribution to physics is to forbid existence.

     

    This has been twisting my mind to such an extent that I couldn't ever quite keep the thread of my thoughts going but you have unravelled my confusion.

     

    I knew it didn't really make sense and was trying to come up with a more accurate sensible way they could have phrased it:

     

    Two versions of the same matter can't occupy the same space? That doesn't work becasue if there are two versions, then it is by definition NOT the 'same' matter.

     

    Matter can't be doubled in the same space? No that's just a terrible line for a movie....although too terrible for this movie??

     

    Matter that is....?

     

    If there are two versions of.....? ah Fuck it....then I drifted into a trance.

     

    So thanks!

    Well Rae Dawn Chong is from Colorado, right? She says she was in a different state in 1994 at least.

     

    What I want to know is there a hierarchy or some sort of division to who gets to go to what period of time? Like instead of having a vice squad and a homicide department they have a "1920s division" and "hippie squad" of agents that are highly trained on a specific time period and its mannerisms and way of speaking. Alternatively maybe you have to run X number of missions in the recent past before you get to do something as big as jump back to the civil war.

     

    The answer to the question is 'No, they don't have time-period squads', as evidenced by JCVD sauntering into the stock broker's office in his 1994 TEC costume......

     

    BUT....

     

    They should definitely have done your idea - the spin-off potential is incredible just look at all the frickin' CSIs there are!!!

     

    You should immediately start writing TimeCop 1920s, TimeCop WW1, TimeCop WW2, TimeCop Summer of Love etc etc etc etc etc and send them ALL to JCVD

     

    GENIUS!!

    First time poster - Hey everyone!

     

    Although there clearly are many thngs to be confused or brain-melted about in this movie, I cannot get over just how big the back yard is at TimeCop's house.

     

    He is walking/stalking through that thing for ages....it even begins to look like the friggin jungle from Predator after a while.

     

    How does he have a suburban street mansion house, which has neighbouring properties but which has acres of garden....that appear to have the clothes line miles and miles away from the back door???

     

    (Aside from the other question about this scene which is why exactly he abandons them to the fight at the house)
