Re: Timecop . . .

In the really nifty flick “Timecop” Jean-Claude Van Damme (yes -- he did one with an actual plot!) flick in which he does away with the bad guy (Senator Aaron McComb -- AKA, Ron Silver) by hurling him into an earlier version of himself. Theoretically, you cannot be in two places at one time, and if you should ever meet yourself (which means you broke the first rule), you would cancel each other out, as you cannot exist where you already are.

Michael J. Fox, of course, showed us the truth of this rumor in his trilogy:

* Back to the Future (1985)
* Back to the Future Part II (1989)
* Back to the Future Part III (1990)

Of course, the truth is -- time travel is still science fiction.
