''[[Timecop]]'' is a 1994 movie starting [[Jean-Claude Van Damme]] as Max Walker, a (wait for it) [[Time Police|Timecop]] who has to go back in time to prevent other people from going back in time and messing up history. Mia Sara was cast as his wife Melissa, {{spoiler|[[Death by Origin Story|who dies in the opening act]], resulting in Walker's [[Married to the Job|devotion to the job]]: "If I cannot go back to save her... this scumbag is not going back to steal money!"}}
Line 8:
The film was a modest box office hit, earning $101,646,581 in the worldwide market. With about 45 million earned it the United States market, it was its 30th most successful film that year. It had a short-lived [[Recycled: the Series|spin off show]], ''Timecop: The Series'', which featured a brand new cast and lasted for one season of nine episodes. There was also a direct-to-DVD sequel ''Timecop 2: The Berlin Decision'' (2003), taking place 20 years following the original.
 
The franchise is apparently based on a comic written by future ''[[Battlestar Galactica (2004 TV series)|Battlestar Galactica]]'' scribe Mark Verheiden - who knew?
