Interesting facts

Trancers II is a 1991 American direct-to-video science fiction action film directed by Charles Band. It is a sequel to Trancers and is set six years after the events of the first.

Production

Following Trancers in 1985, a follow-up short film titled Trancers: City of Lost Angels was filmed in 1987, intended to be part of an anthology project called Pulse Pounders the following year. Pulse Pounders was never released, as its distributor, Empire International Pictures, shut down in 1988 due to debt issues. Aside from City of Lost Angels, screenwriter Danny Bilson claimed that Empire never had any plans for a full sequel, stating

"I don't recall discussing a Trancers sequel other than the Pulse Pounders episode during my time at Empire."

After Empire's shutdown, Charles Band formed a successor called Full Moon Productions a few months later. Band had personally negotiated to retain the rights to Trancers, with a sequel becoming one of the first projects greenlit at Full Moon.

The film was shot in Los Angeles over the course of three weeks.
