I LOVED this movie when I was a kid and still do.

[@owie4070]

Same here

[@owie4070]

I couldn't take my eyes off Sandra Bullock when I watched this movie. This is a 90s gem in my opinion.

[@nightshade7240]

Sandra Bullock was adorable in this movie and it was nice that she didn't end up as the damsel in distress. This movie is cheesy but it's the good kind of cheese, like grana padano compared to maggot cheese. Also Wesley Snipes definitely stole the show in this film. At some point you'll have to do the expendables series because it literally has almost everyone who was anyone in 80s action. They are also cheesy but they are so 80s they are also enjoyable cheese.

[@TwinkieCakey]

What the fuck is maggot cheese? I never ain't heard about that motherfucker, might give it a try lol

[@williammiller3277]

Creepy watching he cyber screw her dad though.

[@interdimensionalsteve8172]

Passenger 57 ("Always bet on black!") and Demolition Man are PEAK Wesley Snipes :)

@@interdimensionalsteve8172 I've always wondered if there is a movie with a Native American who says 'always bet on red!' in it. Maybe the new predator film?

Such a great movie that I can watch any time... and my first time falling for Sandra Bullock.

[@julius-stark]

I love this movie, not just because it's great and Wesley Snipes plays one of my favorite villain characters, but because it so hilariously predicted an aspect of how things are now.

[@mr.pavone9719]

7:30 To "un-thaw" something is to freeze it. When a frozen thing melts/or at least reaches a room temperature, it thaws out. HA HA! Love the show, I watch all your videos. It's also funny Bullock's character is named Huxley, since Aldous Huxley wrote Brave New World, which shared many ideas about future society with this movie.

[@josmo1363]

Nice catch👍

[@christopherspellman9163]

I love this movie so much. Wesley Snipes was perfect in it.

[@Mattastrophic1]

Snipes could do good guy and bad guy roles and make them his own. AND he had the martial arts background do do his own action stunts. He's way better of an actor than other similar martial arts action stars like Van Damme and (chuckle) Seagal. DAMN I wish some things had gone differently and he was able to keep up starring action roles in the 2000's and 2010's.

Hey everybody..... !!!! Get a load outta this!!!! ... this guy right here don't know how to use the sea shells!!!! .. lmfao....

Probably uses them like they're two sea shells and then blames them for not working.

[@ravager48]

He doesn't know how to use the three seashells. LOL!

[@Mattastrophic1]

I think you sit on the middle shell and put your hands on the other two and it acts like a bidet. That's been my theory for over twenty years and I'm sticking to it!

[@ACECAL-cl4tb]

I always thought they were used as scoops and were self cleaning

[@leodouskyron5671]

Demolition Man is so good. The movie was a perfect blend of prediction, satire and fun with a side of action. Worth looking at even today!

[@DigitalMorph07]

One of my favorite 90s action movies. Great vid

[@pacershark452]

10:22 That gleeful child-Like hopping Sandra did was PERFECTLY ridiculous.😆😂🤣

[@chrisandrew7577]

If taco bell won the food wars, you'd need more than seashells EDIT: I didn't expect the Pizza Hut twist. Seashells could probably handle that

[@mcdoodles5460]

How so?? Do you know the secret to how the 3 seashells work!? Nope, you don’t, you just showed the comment section, that you be a proper dumdum

[@russellward4624]

Obviously Arnold Swartzeneggar played Rambo since Stallone played The Terminator in The Last Action Hero.

[@samholdsworth420]

Plausible

[@Marijane1968]

A suggestion for a Sylvester Stallone movie: Oscar. It's not really an action movie, it's more like an Italian opera comedy of errors. But, it's actually really good. It's also got Tim Curry, Marisa Tomei, Chazz Palminteri, Vincent Spano, and a bunch of other good people.

[@Splackavellie85]

Great suggestion! I think it’s been almost 25 years since I’ve seen it, but I remember really liking it. I’m going to rewatch that some time.

[@navbuoy]

Tim Curry was excellent in that movie. Hilarious!

[@rokasrerroca7399]

The drop from the helicopter to the rooftop was an incredible stunt! It is in my Top 50 list of greatest stunts ever filmed (in movies I've seen).

[@Delta82]

I just notice that Jesse “The Body” Ventura was in this! In all the times I’ve watch this movie I never noticed it till now!

[@samholdsworth420]

When? Also why the hell did Benjamin bratt's character switch sides? Never noticed that before...

[@crash406]

He's at the 14:36 mark in this, but he's the one who killed Cocteau. Also, that's Dan Cortese singing jingles in the restaurant scene.

[@sonder420]

One of the ladies with the underground people was Spartan's daughter. All her scenes with him were cut but not the time she was standing in the background.

[@37Kilo2]

I was 13 or so when I watched this on HBO at my buddies house. We loved Snipes in this so much.

[@brycestrife5605]

Honestly one of the best action comedies. ❤

[@hephaestus6365]

This movie is a national treasure. Of course, then people tried to make it a reality. That's another topic.

[@TrollBias69]

Literally right around the corner

[@MichaelSpikes-pv6kl]

Good movie review One of my favorite movies of the 90s

[@thepopemichael]

This is my favorite guilty-pleasure movie. You did a fantastic job covering this one. I always wanted a Demolition Man 2 or something set in the universe. It's SO fascinating! Also, here's hoping that you DON'T look as jacked as Stallone at 47. Dude was likely taking some of "Santa's little helper" to get that jacked.

[@TheSektor13]

It can't be guilty pleasure, because this movie is actually really good !

[@geoffreysorkin5774]

What do you mean, he was just on the chicken, rice, and broccoli diet, wink wink nudge nudge

[@Anynom]

Trivia note: In the original cut, there was going to be a bit where, while hanging with the rebels, Spartan meets his now-grown daughter who's one of them. Then, right after, a fight with Phoenix where he reveals the hostages already dead and Spartan was frozen for nothing to push him on.

[@donright4492]

This was a really good movie of its time problem was this is where Stallone quality of movies was just starting weaking also if you watch this movie really well you'll see the movie events match up today's events but moving on its great to see Wesley Snipes demonstrate his Marshall prowess in this movie plus I like how it's gets better later on in the movie oh another thing those police uniforms look like something straight off from Janet Jackson's music video rhythm Nation Good time's

I thought it was a joke from RedEye. It's weird to think they added that into the actual international cut.

[@munstrumridcully]

This flick was underappreciated when it came out, imo. It was so awesome-- funny, action packed, and it had a great cast! Stallone and Snipes were great in their roles, and Sandra Bullock played her character perfectly snooty and naive! And it predicted the -pussyfication- ,er, P.C.--ification of America lol

What you're doing is called a black and white fallacy it's a logical fallacy where if you're not on one side then you must be on the polar opposite side ignoring the fact that there could be nuance positions in between those sides or even beyond those sides

[@misterhappy5462]

@@munstrumridcully i don't want extremism on either side either. the problem with your argument is that SOME people abuse freedom of speech/expression (especially for minority-bashing) and then hide their privileged bigotry behind that argument. and then those groups have to deal with normalized bigotry in society while others don't. so i would prefer to live where traditional far right bigotry is called out but also where activists are called out for weaponizing "wokeness" for personal gain.

[@TheBeird]

Ah yes, the GOOD Sly Stallone Dredd film. Well, in spirit. I love this film, it's so much fun. But I feel it falls a little short of its potential. I know they cut out a load of stuff toward the end of the movie. I mean, Jesse Ventura just disappears. And in general the finale feels a bit rushed. With a little more time to tweak it, this could have been Sly's equivalent of Total Recall. However, still great.

[@JBalderas1990]

7:49 that's because Stallone took a very potent amino acid supplement since Rocky IV...it was probably the same supplement he was throwing out of his hotel room in Australia because it was deemed "illegal" 👀 He's still my hero though! Bad to the Stalloooone!

[@benjaminolson7206]

Surprisingly enough the Jurassic Park UI was a real thing. It was an optional UI mode for the ultra-high end Silicon Graphics workstations used for more demanding 3d and graphics design work in the 1990s. Presumably the filmmakers saw one of their special effects artists casually using it one day and thought it looked a bit more visually appealing than a standard mid-90s desktop UI.

[@sadpacman3290]

It goes on Last Action Hero rules: In that movie-in-a-movie, Stallone played the Terminator, since Arnold was Jack Slater. So in Demolition Man, Arnold probably played Rambo.

[@TarawaS2000]

That's what I thought of too.

Funniest movie gag: Stallone hits him with a TV and says, you're on TV!

[@VonWenk]

Even though I'd seen Bram Stoker's Dracula, I first noticed "The Vampire Hunters" in the trailer for this. You admitted you left out some things, but I predicted no one would get the Dan Cortese, the Burger King guy, as the Pizza Hut lounge singer gag years later, and I fondly remember that gag.

You're supposed to use seashells in conjunction with a bidet

Dennis Rodman was inspired to dye his hair blonde after watching this film. It was mentioned in his ESPN 30 for 30 documentary.

[@ExileHeretic]

I'm certain the seashells are fancy buttons that each does a stage of ass wiping. Like a 3 stage bidet. Love this movie. Be well

[@Mattastrophic1]

I've thought that too! My theory is that you EITHER sit on the middle shell and put your hands on the other two and it sanitizes your bottom and your hands OR one shell is moist, the other dries, and the third gives that new car scent

[@Eternally_Sardonic]

I had no idea about the Taco Bell/Pizza Hut switch up. I saw this when I was in HS in the theaters, then bought a VHS copy soon after it was released that I had for years. My favorite part wasn't even action related; it's when Stallone thinks he's eating the hamburger that ends up being a rat burger, just because of his follow up of being "pretty good" compared to the homiginized food people had become used to.
