Demolition Man Review - Off The Shelf Reviews

[@tomford5476]

Love this film and so enjoyed your review! I've just discovered Off the Shelf reviews recently and just spent most of my weekend watching all the Alien, Predator, AVP films, Robocop (my fav) Die hard and all Halloween films, along with the Maniac Cop reviews that you guys have done. Gary and Iain, you both are now are one of my favourite KZbin film reviewers. I can really relate to both your perceptive and informative insights, utter joy and incredulous gasps. The dynamic between the both of you is just gold. You bring an intelligent yet humble, every day approach to film reviewing, which is both refreshing and endearing. Look forward in watching all your reviews. Keep it up lads

[@richarddeese1991]

Thanks. Great movie! Now, about the 3 seashells... My take is that it's a bidet system: wash, dry, flush. Simple as can be. They're just 3 knobs on the wall, in the shape of seashells. My only beef is: who the hell leaves the bullets in the guns in a museum? That's my boggle. tavi.

[@randallbesch2424]

"THE THREE SEA SHELLS" 1. Cleaning via vacuuming. 2. Anti-bacterial mist. 3. Dry air.

[@fuzzydunlop1753]

Love this film, and Sandy's extremely smashable in it.

[@chrislacy1990]

Thanks again, Gary and Iain, for reviewing another one of my favorite films! DEMOLITION MAN was light years ahead of its time and it's aged very well compared to other '90s action flicks.

[@jgedutis]

Little did they know we would use wadded handfuls of paper in the 21st too

[@LISA75_]

I always thought of the 3 sea shell like a bidet 1st one some soap/foam spray 2nd high-pressure water 3rd hot air dryer

[@SerifSansSerif]

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA... OMG.....You STILL don't know how to use the 3 seashells???

[@WrestlingSmarks]

I'm glad I've never seen the Pizza Hut dubbed version. Every one I've seen (VHS, DVD, Blu-ray and streaming) has had the original Taco Bell scenes.

[@JasonSterlingRMC]

Some trivia in reference to the review- Pizza Hut and Taco Bell are not just owned by the same company now but were back when the movie was made as well. They, KFC and Frito Lay were all owned by Pepsi Co. in the early Ninties. Pepsi later spun them off into a separate group.

[@KaiserSoze-vx6vo]

The Pinball machine tie-in of this movie was fun as well.

[@BrandonPowellBlasterTown]

I always assumed the 3 SeaShells were buttons, like controls for some kind of space bidet... you know, with lasers and such..

[@TheSuperQuail]

This is how I thought the 3 seashells worked - they are actually 3 buttons that control the toilet: The 1st one cleans your arse with water, the 2nd one wipes and the 3rd flushes.

[@fuzzydunlop1753]

Yeah that's pretty much what I thought as well.

[@PhantomTales]

um wipes with what??? they dont use paper so you are wrong

[@SiN88m]

Wow guys. I watched the movie about 100x. But just through your review I just realized how much symbolism is used in the movie simply through the names. 1. Spartan - the hero 2. Phoenix - the antagonist who's last life cicle ended with fire -> explosion, before he rises years later again by freeing himself from cryo prison. 3. Edgar Friendly - the misunderstood leader of people who wants their freedom. He only comes out of the underground to steal food to feed others. Even the black officer from Johns past. Something like bla bla bla Lamb, which could be interpretated as, in the beginning of the movie he was a Lamb because he was a freshman. And in the future he was a Lamb because society has became peaceful, therefore defenseless. Etc... oh god, I need to see that movie again right now🤣 Btw. I also loved the attention for detail. Did anyone heard the alarm sound far in the distance, like from another room after Pheonix used the bad language in the museum. Like it is registered even if there is no of these wall machines in the same room.

[@Piff47]

Good review guys, as usual. But by the way Stallone did not direct ROCKY. He wrote the screenplay, (a story he wrote years before) but directed by John G. Avildsen. I find it interesting that most people think Stallone was the director.

[@irllcd13]

What annoys me about this movie is everyone calls Stallone a primitive and gives him tons of shit, when it's only 2032 and these people are obviously old enough to remember the time that John is from. Like, did they forget what the 1990s were like, that violence, sex and swearing are real things that exist?

[@TheUballe]

Yeah... but today, we have idiots who can't even remember how good we had it in 2019, and insist that we all need to continue barracading ourselves in our homes, spraying your groceries with lysol, and so on. Also, we now have an entire generation of folks who legitimately believe that there are infinite genders amd that racism can only be acted upon by those in power.

[@rosemaryfarell5264]

Big Shout out to Nigel Hawthorne too born in Coventry like myself.

[@rosemaryfarell5264]

Fucking CLASSIC watched on pirate one day before my 13th bday bk in December 93. Miss Films like this things of the past unfortunately.

[@PFiction24]

I always though the sea shells were buttons for a bidet.

[@Vaporvice84]

The "Mickey Mouse" line is one of my top 5 Sly quotes.

[@irenemoffitt8066]

Sylvester was funny in Oscar, lots of people didn't like this movie. I love it awesome cast.

[@kristoffer2322]

Great review as always!

[@travisking9321]

Be well! Another very entertaining and comedically presented film review.

[@porkflaps4717]

This movie is a straight up classic. Only only one thing bothers me about it. What is the rest of the world doing? It seems like Coctaeu is the ruler of this Eutopia, but it is basically one city.

[@hmohngcheelee7549]

I binge watched all of Rambo cause I didn’t get to watch them all as a kid. The first Rambo movie should have been an indicator at how good of an actor he is.

[@Hellbane224]

Oh.... you didn't know Stallone had the comedy gene, huh? Grab the movie Oscar. Not even kidding. The movie is a gem. It's funny as hell. Give us a review of that one, I think you'll enjoy it. ^_^

[@jonnychadbourne8127]

I agree 100% Oscar is incredibly good!

[@MyFavoriteLine]

Oscar is awesome.

[@Valant0324]

Love your channel. Been binge watching it for days. The weird rifle Phoenix gets at the museum is a real firearm. The German Heckler and Koch G11

[@dmdlove7757]

Did anyone else hear Stallone scream "Penis!", instead of Phoenix when Snipes went to shoot Cocktoe? That shit is funny.

[@rosemaryfarell5264]

Originally the film was offered to Van Damme and Seagal but JC didnt want to play the Villain.

[@krk170]

I liked Snipes in that one movie were he and Patrick Swayze played drag queens and Snipes can sure work them heels in it.

[@fuzzydunlop1753]

Lmao, yeah that's a classic, wong foo or something right?

[@TheBeird]

A great film, I always had a fondness for it. But I feel it falls just a teensy big short of excellence. This could have been Sky’s Total Recall or RoboCop. It ain’t story problems per se, but it feels something got lost in the edit. Primarily, the third act seems like it’s in a rush. Probably because the post production was running out of time. We’ve all heard of the scenes cut; Spartan’s daughter, Jesse Ventura’s death scene etc. Maybe they would have helped. Regardless, I still love this flick

[@nickgavis0305]

Lol starts repeating it in Mexican 😂😂😂😂

[@janleslielvaas3211]

San angeles was a combination of san diego, santa barbara and los angeles.

[@voxdraconia4035]

I always asked myself not how the seashells work ... but why they keep arms of all kinds at display AND AMMO for them! - I mean maybe a couple of bullets...but those amounts of ammo in a museum? Why?

[@mcliester]

I love the scene at the beginning when Stallone is holding the little girl and the reporter is giving him shit about blowing up the building just to save one girl and the little girl says "FUCK YOU LADY!"

[@Jay-mu4xl]

Still live the couch 😊 great review for a great film 👍👍

[@carlredbird3054]

Funny to note taco bell changed it's Logo from yellow and orange, to one very similarly designed for this movie

[@danielcrick8871]

Love this movie! Especially the opening sequence, awesome 90s action.

[@jackcraven2266]

Great review guys, and classic movie indeed! Would love to see all the deleted scenes from it, but considering it's Warner Bros film i'm sure that will never happen.

[@andrewblanchard2537]

I think the 3 seashells might be a BIDET I knew a woman that had one in her bathroom she let me watch her use it once it was creepy I prefer TOILET PAPER and a TOILET

[@AarenJable]

PHOENIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIX

[@TheUballe]

Ian's description of the sex scene had me rolling.

[@takayasu2009]

A Stallone/Snipes classic.

[@milkoflegends]

love u guys reviews

[@HailCrimsonKing]

One of my favorite films.

[@BlogDoppiaggiItalioti]

The shells discussion was hilarious

[@jack_meoff69]

lmao

[@kitredKitredson]

You guys! I love how much you love movies.

[@timpaich2074]

It is cut out when Sylvester Stallone fights Jesse Ventura and it's at the cryo-prison.

[@megapop1976]

Teddy bear, perfectly highlighting how soft society has became in the absence of violence. Such a brilliantly conceived storyline.

[@IainHamilton]

Brilliant as always although now I can't get past the "Three Sea Shells" scene without p***ing myself.

[@Commentator541]

I love this movie! But the end was kind of unresolved/rushed/confused/ let's just wrap it up predictably sort of situation.

[@dianes.3718]

Great Review Guys!! This is a guilty pleasure of mine which I've not seen in years... now I want to go hunt it down. I was so in love with Stallone as a teen! LOL!!! Great memories...

[@stuffnthings4106]

This movie is easily in my top 5 of all time.

[@Cage820]

That's really stupid that they changed Taco Bell to Pizza Hut just because of a fear that some people wouldn't know what Taco Bell was. People are capable of doing a very small amount of research... I'm just glad they didn't feel the need to change it in America just to unify it for some stupid reason. I have the film on blu ray and it's still Taco Bell.

[@VenusHeadTrap2]

How did Phoenix know that “teddy bear” would free him?

[@OffTheShelfReviews]

He was given the information by Cocteau :) - Iain

[@usamazahid3882]

Greatest film ever.

mickey mouse ps is a saying by old mechanics for being an aftermarket ps trash part to replace

[@BrandonSmith84]

Lucky you guys didn't mention a young 24 year old Jack Black who has a very small role as a scrap.

[@KingSidJames]

A fun film, but not one you want to pick at too much as it will unravel like a cheap sweater.

[@torquetheprisoner]

love this movie alot

[@garycallan7384]

Do Oscar. Another Stallone comedy that I think I wonderful.

you actually like rob schneider?

I'm new to off the shelf but I'm bingeing because you guys are fucking awesome...... but cliffhanger was a really bad movie.

[@MM-cu9kd]

He’s saying everything in Mexican 😂

[@VespoLiveGaming]

In the future, all restaurants will be taco bell.

[@jasondouglas152]

I hope I can Be Sandra Bullocks 3 seashells

[@Rockman7532]

Taco Bell is horrid, talk about Diarrhea you'd need alot more than 3 seashells thats for sure.

[@mikeyvester]

Demolition Man is the most prophetic movie ever. All the politically correct nonsense is here and now.

[@WooZIE997]

they predicted arnies political career too if you dont remember. he never got to president but still it was some great insight!

[@darthtravis28]

Put butter in my butt and call me a sandwich. You guys just destroyed the Mandela effect I had, as a kid I saw Taco Bell and when I re watched it years later I saw Pizza Hut....I did not know about this lol 😅😂😂

[@GooseGumlizzard]

Hunka Chunka

[@rosemaryfarell5264]

This film is so true to life now but in this film guaranteed Cocteau is a Right Winger and Edgar Friendly is a Liberal but in todays society it would be fucking flipped. The Liberal madness is in overflow ala Cocteau do as I say not as I do and Edgar like myself would be someone down the middle but wud be perceived as Right wing. Crazy Shit!!!

[@edsmith1757]

I love Demolition Man because it reflects society right now today. The fact that first world countries live above ground orderly and eat well , while the misunderstood third world countries eat the scraps in lawlessness . A Black Comedy in fact.

[@Soydrinker999]

freezing criminals kinda defeats the purpose of prison, as soon as they get froze they'll basically be woken back up and get to be let out again
