4/10
A very young Helen Hunt plays the lead character, Lena. She is putting on skin-tight clothes in the beginning of the movie, showing her back, but nothing else. Some talk about making love in the same scene.
At 33 minutes, "Whistler", the bad guy, shows up and shoots at the lead character, Jack Deth. Jack uses his time altering watch and stops/slows time and rescues Lena from being shot. Jack picks up Lena and carries her off, and you see her legs and bottom when he sets her into the convertible Thunderbird.
Lena and Jack become inimate on his bed off-and-on at 41 and 44 minutes, but there is no noticable nudity. At 47-48 minutes, you see Jack and Lena in bed together, but no nudity.
Towards the end, there's some insinuation about one character showering together with Lena.

Jack Deth beats up the mall "Santa Claus" who is really a Trancer who traveled back in time to 1985. The Trancer shoots the main character using a security guards' gun, and Jack Deth shoots him back. A boy yells, "That man just shot Santa Claus!"
Lena shoots a Trancer cop in an abandoned building. |
