Really nice video, a really great review. I watched this movie for the 20th time (at least) yesterday, a classic. Just a shame that you didn't mention that Demolition Man is some kind of blockbuster version of Brave New World. There are so many clues. The book's written by Aldous Huxley in early 1930's, and the name of the female hero is Lenina. The story depicts a clean/shiny future in which anyone has to do what he was programmed to do when he was born (as a test-tube baby). John is raised in the Savage Reservation and is often called "the Savage" just like John Spartan. Even Simon Phoenix says to Spartan "What a Brave new world. Sorry you have to leave." But still a great review.

According to the book “I Am Jackie Chan: My Life in Action”, Stallone had at one point asked Jackie to play the villain role that ultimately went to Wesley Snipes (at the time Jackie was coerced by his manager, Willie Chan, to give the States another go despite his four disastrous attempts about a decade earlier). Jackie turned it down as he “didn’t feel right about that role” (he had mentioned just a few paragraphs earlier in that section of the book that he turned down an appearance in the Michael Douglas-starring film “Black Rain”, because he did not want to be in a film that made Asians look bad and where he would be playing a bad guy - and he HAD played baddies earlier in his career and it did not go down too well).

Most dystopian stories seem to revolve around an apocalyptic future or have an overtly authoritarian government. What I loved about Demolition Man is that it was much more subtle with its social commentary, first showing the benefits of submission up front and gradually revealing the corruption. That more than anything makes the story relevant and keeps it from being dated.

Demolition Man is a criminally underrated action flick from the 90's. More people remember how bad Judge Dredd was as opposed to how smart and entertaining Demolition Man was compared to other 90's action fare. Snipes completely steals the movie and Bullock and Stallones chemistry was excellent with great humor thrown in. Great review as always Ollie.

What makes this movie great is how eerily prescient it was in satirizing certain elements of authoritarianism which we are STILL heading towards today! I watch this movie at least once every couple of years and frankly it almost frightens me how spot on some of it still is. In fact I think it’s more relevant now than ever! If it weren’t for the satirical tongue in cheekiness of it all, I think it would be almost uncomfortable to watch. Thankfully the humor still works quite well.

What an amazing film ! One of Sly's best, he gives a great performance there, to me he truly was at the top of his game. One of his last great films (with other greats at the time like Cliffhanger and The Specialist). While I loved Snipes in this one, I can't help but imagine how awesome it could have been with Schwarzenegger in the role. Oh and Elliot Goldenthal's score truly gave this one a unique edge. It is quite unconventional and surprisingly sophisticated for an action movie, but again this one is much more than just a straight action movie. Great review Mr. Harper !

Something about Demolition Man has aged much better than Judge Dredd. Maybe it's just rather more charming.

Steller video Oliver! Love it. Your take on the movie has put it in a new light for me, it really is a good commentary on how things could go, or here in America, are going. Class division, nobody wanting to get their hands clean by dealing with defective societal rejects, less freedom and more "safety" can lead to blandness. Thanks for the great video.

Great review, Oliver! :) I'm a huge fan of your videos and the reviews you make. "Demolition Man" I've seen countless times when i was a kid along with my brothers, and the 3DO Game console really was a classic for its time. :D Keep up the great work, bro!

I had the extraordinarily bad luck to have missed seeing this in the cinema due to the staggering of international release dates. I moved away from Europe, just before its release there, to Asia only for its run THERE to end. I then had to wait for its release on VHS (which took mooooonths back then) all the while being teased and trolled by other kids who HAD seen it. I was so desperate that I even bought the paperback novel adaptation of the film. Another fun fact was that I visited a Planet Hollywood restaurant that had some props from the film - armed with this mix of information I pieced together a strange hybrid version in my imagination which ultimately was somehow a little more satisfying than the film when I finally was able to rent it on VHS. Those were the times my friends and I do miss them. Great review, Oliver! This film and the associated memories surrounding it will always give it a very special place in my personal mythology.

another fab retrospective, Oliver! My favorite sequence is still when Phoenix goes to the museum- love that whole bit. Trivia- did you know Bullock and a few of the other uppercity dwellers had very light facial prosthetics done to smooth lines and make their features more symmetrical and tranquil looking? (most noticeable on Bullock)
