DEMOLITION MAN (1993) Movie Reaction! | First Time Watch! | Sylvester Stallone | Wesley Snipes

[@Anamnesis]

This film ages like fine wine with each passing year. It's funny to think that when it came out, we thought there was no way we'd live to see it come true, but time so often proves us wrong. One thing that occurred to me recently is the behavior of the people of San Angeles, who are basically stand-ins for the Eloi from The Time Machine by H.G. Wells. The few of them who actually interact with the main characters are basically NPCs who don't really seem to have any agency, initiative, resourcefulness, or personality. They're completely provided for like prized purebred animals are cared for by wealthy aristocrats, and it's made clear throughout the film that they sort of wander around in a lobotomized state as though they've had all the pugnacious qualities that humans possess totally nerfed from their personalities. And it's not just a few people, it's endemic in the population, even the police force. Like clipping the wings of a bird, filing the teeth down on a dog, declawing a cat, etc. The animals aren't really handicapped, and it doesn't radically alter their health, but it does alter their natural state to the point that they can't function genuinely as they're meant to. Makes you start to wonder how a whole population could come to be this way in a supposed utopia, especially when you realize nothing is an accident in a centrally controlled society.

[@abovewater6918]

This movie is a lot of fun. And even beyond the whole predicting the control of society thing that we might be dangerously heading to; They also predicted little things like self driving cars and even video calls that didn't exist at the time the movie was made.

[@LordVolkov]

Video calls have been around since Star Trek. More interesting is the prediction of no-touch greetings following a series of epidemics 😷

[@Cheepchipsable]

A bit like predicting the sun will still be in the sky. Dick Tracy had video watches, and the idea of video calls has been around for ages. Don't know why people try so hard to talk up movies.

It's so weird how this movie was seen as just another Stallone action film when it came out, but now has become very relevant to the time we live in. I'm glad you two dug it, though. It's one of my top favorite Stallone movies. Not too long ago, he said he's interested in doing a sequel, so I hope it happens. I'd love to know what became of that society after Cocteau died and the cryo prison was destroyed. Obviously, it would have to take place in the 2060s since Sly is much older now.

So the director decided to actually add this as a very crazy joke that has some real life implications of course this movie was made before Arnold Schwarzenegger became Governor of California so yes definitely some future predictions in this movie. Awesome reaction ladies...☺☺

This was so good. Would still love to see Kristen reacting to Big Hero 6. it was talked about during the Iron Giant reaction and it is such a good movie!!

[@XS_Sanz]

- This movie predicted so many things that passed from being a goofy movie to serious science-fiction. - John Spartan's daughter is supposed to be one of the underdwellers (as explained in a deleted scene). You can see her in a blink-and-you-miss-it scene, she's the woman Spartan pushes to safety when Phoenix and his gang start the shootout. - You can also catch a glimpse of Jack Black a minute earlier, too. - The 3 seashells are a creator's joke and they mean... absolutely anything, writers just wanted to tease the audience. Nowadays, this has become another prediction come true (in a way), since we use exactly 3 buttons in our smartphones and other simplified interfaces.

[@Wickerrman]

They didn't reshoot it. They just dubbed over the original Taco Bell lines and digitally plastered the "Pizza Hut" logo over the "Taco Bell" one. They are both owned by Pepsi.

Sandra Bullock and Denis Leary were also in a movie together - Two if By Sea, which is a pretty good RomCom. Stallone and Schneider were in Judge Dredd together - which is a not so good adaption of the comic (other than the look). Urban did it much better later in Dredd.

[@terrylandess6072]

I like how they used Ice 9 as the basis for their 'cryo-freeze pellets'. While there are obvious differences, the similarities are striking. This is also my favorite Pinball Machine. Denis Leary was like many standup comedians of the 80's. They parlayed their popularity into movie and television roles. Some lasted, others contributed and faded. If unfamiliar with his work, a quick search would bring up several of his routines.

When Simon popped out that eye with the gun and the next shot is of that eye on the pen..., I wasn't expecting that when I first saw it as a 9 year old boy. That scared the shit out of me.

Meanwhile Friendly's group are free, yes, but they'd literally rather live in filth and eat rats then conform in any way. As for Pheonix, he's an utter madman who treats violence like the funnest game at the fair, and Spartan for all his attitude is a lot more grounded and emotionally mature then his over the top action scenes would suggest, recognizing the madness in submitting to the Doctor's pure order, or Simon's chaos.
