help Timecop FAQ
Is Timecop (1994) based on a comic book?
Yes, it's adapted from a Dark Horse Comics property, making it part of the wave of Dark Horse adaptations in the 1990s alongside The Mask, which also came out in 1994. Jean-Claude Van Damme stars as Time Enforcement Commission agent Max Walker.
Did Timecop get any sequels or a TV show?
Yes, a 1997 ABC television series aired and was cancelled after one short season, without Van Damme. In 2003, a direct-to-video sequel, Timecop 2: The Berlin Decision, starred Jason Scott Lee.
What is the 'same matter cannot occupy the same space' rule in Timecop?
It's the film's key time-travel law: if a person touches a past version of themselves, both versions are destroyed. Walker exploits this in the finale to erase the villain, Senator McComb, by forcing him into contact with his younger self.
Who directed Timecop, and who plays the villain?
Peter Hyams directed, reuniting with Van Damme after their earlier collaboration. Ron Silver plays corrupt presidential candidate Senator McComb, while Mia Sara plays Walker's wife Melissa.
