I remember a scene where Snipes had broken into this building (I think it was a museum dedicated to the history of 20th Century violence) and he started to reach for some guns then he says to himself "hey wait a minute this is the future where are all the phaser guns?!" Funny line. 😄

[@jamesabernethy7896]

@@kennyboggs3676 great scene. It showed how unprepared everyone one was for him. Some of the dialogue could have been cheesy, his delivery had so much personality. The futuristic gun was the Heckler and Koch G11, it was bulky but still looked futuristic because you didn’t know what the bulk was. It’s weird what some movies thought the near future was going to look like.

[@EVGriffinJr]

Wesley Snipes, as Simon Phoenix, in my view, saved this movie. It could’ve been easily another one note, Stallone film, which he does very well by the way. But snipes took it to another level.

Then along came Demolition Man and It had the audacity of doing something entirely different! Really enjoyed it.

Official, no BS answer is: Writer could not come up with a futuristic way to wipe that would not waste paper or water. He called up a buddy for some ideas, and he couldn't think of anything either. His buddy's wife had 3 seashells as decoration on the back of the toilet, so they came to the idea of just saying 3 seashells but never explaining it to make it a joke and a debate. Not as cool as one would expect, but they created a debate that goes to this day, "How do you use the 3 seashells?"

This film was cross marketed in every way possible. I remember Taco Bell being full of posters and life size cutouts of Sly. They had some kind of Demolition meal deals, the whole bit.

Fun fact. Back in 2010 Wesley Snipes was having a little IRS problem. To solve it he challenged Joe Rogan to a MMA fight in the UFC. Rogan instantly accepted. Wesley backed out after finding out that Rogan was a very skillful martial artist with multiple black belts and MMA training. Wesley just thought Joe was a commentator for the UFC with a big mouth.

In one scene, Spartan is seen protecting an unknown Scrap from incoming fire. That was, of course, originally his daughter. She was also seen at the end, kissing his cheek. Huxley commented that the chaste daughter-father peck didn't seem like that big a deal, which is why Spartan kissed her at the end (he took that as permission). As opposed to just grabbing her at random and sucking her lips off. Also at the end of the book, Lenina explains how the three seashells work. We don't know what she said, but Spartan was impressed, and said it was way better than toilet paper. My theory: the seashells are decorative, and hide buttons. First one squirts your backside with warm water, second dries it with hot air, and third gives you a dusting of powder, since people probably sweat a lot in those heavy kimonos.

Filling in a couple of blanks: 1. Demolition Man was produced by Joel Silver, who also produced all of the Lethal Weapon movies. The set decorator threw in the Lethal Weapon 3 poster as a joke, but since it was also a Warner Bros. movie that was produced by Silver, it was easy to clear the rights for and thus it stuck. 2. DC handled the Demolition Man comic book adaptation because DC is an owned subsidiary of Warner Bros., which made clearing the rights for the comic miniseries easy and DC the logical choice.

The restaurant thing blew my mind. I’m in New Zealand, and the only versions I ever watched growing up were the Taco Bell versions. I’ve still got a Taco Bell edit on VHS. A few years ago I bought a DVD copy, to have in the collection, and watched it for the first time a couple of months ago to show my son. Lo and behold it was the Pizza Hut version. Mind blown, and I can’t get over the difference

I see you went with MAJOR PAYNE!!!! Very nice, Minty, carry on.

[@kamenrangerzeo8251]

Another little fun fact: Taco Bell had loved the logo that was in the film that they changed theirs to match the one in demolition man.

[@DavidLLambertmobile]

The film uses the plot of "San Angeles" saying SoCal gets so large, populated Los Angeles & San Diego CA merge. 🤔 This, 2024 has not become a major civic issue. I'd add some said: 2000s: 2004 how Tampa & Orlando growth would 📈 too. Massive development, "9-10mil" people.

Bruce Lee also had to slow down his movements so audiences could see what he was doing !

I know it's a reupload but I love when Minty does comic book movies. Hope there's more to come!

[@TheRetroStuffGuy]

Great movie! In the UK, it was Taco Bell in the cinemas & on VHS. However, a couple years ago when I watched it again on a streaming platform, they changed it to Pizza Hut. Shout out to Sandra Bullock...that was when I first fell in love with her. The love is still strong.
