Throw "Timecop 2" in the garbage bin, because it's nothing but trash...
Added 1/14/2007
If you want to checkout a good Jason Scott Lee film, I recommend the following:
Dragon: The Bruce Lee Story
Rapa Nui
"Timecop 2: The Berlin Decision" is an awful film. Awful production values. Awful acting. Awful script. I would not recommend this film to be watched by anyone who seriously believes that tripe like this is quality entertainment or advances Asian American awareness in Hollywood (This film does neither.).
I would at the very least say that this film is passable entertainment on a rainy day if you ever come across it while channel surfing. If you are curious, perhaps a rental from Netflix, but this film is definitely not for keeps.
If you are one of the few people who watched this film as a means to raise your Asian American film awareness, and came away disappointed, then I recommend the following films for your personal viewing. These are well-written films with high production values that feature a talented cast of Asian American actors:
Better Luck Tomorrow
Mulan

it's pretty good
Added 1/12/2007
the first movie was based on a corrupt politician trying to change the past so he can become president. this movie is based on what would happen if a person goes back in time to change improtant historical events. it's moral vs. logic. jason scott lee's jeet kune do action sequences are up to par. meaning, jeet kune do is more on the lines of street fighting. you're not going to see any flipping or flying this movie. thank goodness. the rest of the cast could be changed with better actors. yea, this movie was dvd release only but is a pretty good movie to watch. if you're a hardcore van damme fan, then don't get it but if you don't give a hoot and want to watch a time traveling martial arts movie with second grade acting but with an interesting story bethind it, then get it. i would.

Pretty Good for the 2nd film in the series
Added 7/9/2006
This one is a considerly more active than the 1st one so its little less classical than the 1st one. It starts with the Nazi's, goes to the Wild West and everywhere in between. I think it misses the actors from 1st one but as second fims goes this is an enjoybale 2 hours on DVD.

Makes No Sense
Added 9/25/2005
If I could give this movie less than 1 star, I would.
The central character, Ryan, played by Jason Scott Lee (by the way, what happened to the Muscles from Brussels?), is a loser. Why? Because HE SAVES ADOLF HITLER'S LIFE!!! And how does he do this? By killing the leading lady.
Gee, great script guys.
Also, the thing makes no sense. People are obliterated from history, and Ryan knows about it! Hello, if they were removed from history, he would have no memory of them. Duh!
If there was such a thing as a 'Time Cop', they would outlaw people wasting 2hrs watching this ridiculous movie!

zero stars only if I could
Added 4/18/2005
This movie stinks and I saw The Godfather Part III which on amazon says got three stars. Whell I thought it was three stars to many.
PS:Amazon you need to put a zero rating we can choose from because now I am mad at my self for giving this movie one star.
