Time Cop (1994)
Time Cop, starring martial arts guru Jean-Claude Van Damme, was made in 1994 and optimistically presumed that, in ten years, police would be able to use time travel to solve crimes. Van Damme stars as a D.C. Metro police officer who gets linked up with a secret federal time traveling program and goes back to 1929 to check out the stock market crash that spawned the Great Depression. He then returns to 1994 and bops back and forth between there and 04′. Other dumb things happen. The Civil War is involved for some reason. Anyway, it’s not a great movie. The overall point is that cops can’t time travel. Or at least they couldn’t in 2004. Probably still can’t.
