After the film reached #1 at the box office, it managed to spin off into a video game for SNES, a short-lived TV show on ABC, a series of novels and a direct-to-video sequel in 2003.

[1] The plot of "The Man Out of Time" comic book story and the Timecop film are very different, but share the same protagonist: Max Walker.

"The Man Out of Time" features Walker in pursuit of John Adam Packer, a criminal who travels to 1933 to rob a South African mine of a huge diamond in the 1930s.

With the robot buried beneath cave rubble, Walker retrieves Parker with the help of a local named Joseph M'Boto.

Readers realize that Walker's presence allowed M'Boto to become wealthy and become a political activist who helped lead an earlier end of Apartheid in South Africa in the 1950s.
