Time Busters
Where to Watch Time Busters
- Richard9 november 2025This one’s pure VHS era chaos. I remember stumbling onto it during a late night broadcast, probably Veronica, or some obscure German cable channel that thought dinosaurs and laser beams were educational. Didn’t know what I was watching, but I knew it had glowing orbs, time warps and Dennis Hopper looking like he wandered in from a philosophy lecture on acid. The story? A high school kid breaks into a military junkyard to find a science project and ends up unleashing a time bending alien artifact that turns his school into a temporal blender. One minute you’re in the gym, next minute you’re dodging cavemen and WWII soldiers. It’s Back to the Future meets Weird Science, but with less budget and more mullets. John Stockwell plays the lead like he’s trying to win a scholarship via cheekbones and Fisher Stevens is peak 80's sidekick leather jacket, bad slang and enough attitude to power a Walkman. The pacing is bonkers, the effects charmingly cheap and the finale? A glorious mess of laser beams, historical cameos and Hopper yelling about the cosmos. It’s not a good movie, but it’s a good time. The kind of flick you watch with a grin, a beer and a deep appreciation for the era when studios greenlit anything with a glowing prop and a synth score.
