Automated Automobiles: Voice-activated.One could Hand Wave this as a top-secret agency working above the Godzilla Threshold to police time, but their inability to offer leniency means that they can't really investigate crimes occurring in the past, just execute everyone they can prove isn't indigenous to the timeline. They probably only haul suspects back to headquarters as a manner of paperwork. It's inferred that they execute every suspect they catch within minutes of their return, as they don't have holding cells on-site. And they conduct their own executions by sending convicts into the past at great heights.

And also there's Pauli's exclusion principle which states that two identical fermions (what matter is made up of) cannot occupy the same quantum state simultaneously. If you touch yourself in the past, like if you touch any object, the atoms in your body and your other body will actually occupy the space next to each other. Technically, of course, this is true, they physically can't. Artistic License – Biology + Artistic License – Physics: Another egregious scientific error has to do with the claim that "the same matter cannot occupy the same space at the same time".A more valid method of asserting the authenticity of the gold would have been to examine whether the impurities in the metal and the casting marks match the time and place.Probably much cheaper re: energy expenditure, and also might leave other trace on or around the gold that could be dated. Both could theoretically be explained (at least somewhat better) by the simple idea that they didn't bring it back with them, just hid it somewhere and then dug it up in the present.And even if it was, if the gold was brought through time it wouldn't have measurably aged. Even if you could, carbon dating isn't as precise as it's depicted in the movie.Artistic License – Biology + Artistic License – Nuclear Physics: Apparently you can carbon-date gold bars.

Anachronism Stew: Played for full effect in the opening scene where five Confederate cavalrymen guarding a gold wagon are massacred by a single man, when he suddenly produces two laser-sighted M91S submachine guns from under his coat.He has to step carefully interacting with her (which he's not even supposed to be doing in the first place) lest he inadvertently change the future for the worse. Amnesiac Lover: Future!Walker regarding his wife in the past, who's dead in the future.'80s Hair: Hilariously enough, it's the 2004 Max Walker who wears a mullet (possibly justified as a regular DC cop he'd have to keep to strict grooming standards, and after losing Melissa he cares a bit less about presentation in a top-secret government agency).
Timecop provides examples of the following tropes: There was also a direct-to-DVD sequel Timecop 2: The Berlin Decision (2003), taking place 20 years following the original. It had a short-lived spin off show, Timecop: The Series, which featured a brand new cast and lasted for one season of nine episodes. One politician even suggests that they simply re-invest the program's funding into tougher regulations on the technology - but he's really only interested in stopping Walker's interference in his own time travel shenanigans. So aside from the highly risky (and unprofitable) archaeological possibilities, the technology has no productive use, resulting in the titular Cops. And even this is risking some bizarre accident that could kill billions. Butterfly of Doom means that attempting to Set Right What Once Went Wrong would have disastrous side effects, so about the least dangerous thing you can do with it is either go back and steal things with advanced technology or make investments in the past that you can cash in on in the present.

this scumbag is not going back to steal money!"Īt no point in the movie are there any legitimate reasons for time travel, implying that the only reason for time travel is to prevent other people from using time travel.
