Hey Addie! I wanted to point out an interesting little tidbit: Whenever Spartan curses, the voice says "John Spartan, you are fined one credit for a violation..." but if you notice, with Phoenix, it doesn't say his name.

[@bjchit]

It was an early draft in the script.

[@tizzle-heroicstars7591]

I don't understand why people think that

[@Wannabe_Baby]

The ages also don't match up. Huxley looks to be in her 20s. If Spartan has been in cryostasis for 36 years, his daughter would be a lot older than Huxley.

[@Osprey850]

It's because it's an unresolved plot thread. John reveals that he had a daughter that he made a promise to, so the audience expects him to eventually find her at some point during the movie and fulfill that promise. It's like Chekov's Gun. If you introduce something like that in a story, it should pay off at some point. As bjchit said, the earliest draft had Lenina turn out to be his daughter. The final script had John discover that his daughter was living in the sewers as one of Friendly's gang, but her part got cut out. That left the daughter mystery unresolved and audiences to wonder if the only significant female character in the movie was his daughter. You're right that it doesn't really make much sense when you think about it, and that's probably why it was dropped early in the scripting stage, but I understand why people might've initially assumed it because I remember doing the same thing in 1993 by waiting for that twist that never came.

The answer was "for you use the 1st, and 2nd button, but NEVER touch the 3rd button!!". The man goes to the restroom and when he's done he presses the first button labeled "W" which puts out a sprayer and washes him off. The 2nd labeled "D" brings out a dryer and dries him off. "Well, those first two were very nice, the 3rd can't be THAT bad!" So he pushes the 3rd button labeled A. After screaming in pain, he runs out of the bathroom and asks the guy what the .... happened. The guy replies the obvious that W was wash, D was dry, and A was AUTOMATIC KOTEX REMOVER.

It was great growing up in the 80s and 90s watching Arnold Stallone and Van Damme! There will never be a better trio! Maybe but I doubt it.

Back in the 90s, I always enjoyed Dennis Leary cosplaying as Bill Hicks.

YES!!! I asked for this when you did True Lies, each makes me think of the other. Thank you! I just know you’re going to enjoy this. Excited to start. May your views and likes always be equal.

I learned something new today I can't believe I never noticed before all of the warning violations the fines in this movie yet... when John spartan and Simon phoenix break through the glass floor in the museum and fall into an old world exhibit when they use profane language down there, there is no warning speech violation sound... very clever detail in the movie

The secret to the seashells is that you use them in a particular order

[@goORIOLES236]

My theory for the seashells is that they’re dials for a high-tech bidet: wash, sanitize, and dry.

[@MikesClassicRadio]

The ongoing movie rivalry between Arnold, and Sylvester is hilarious. I believe they pretty much mention each other somehow in almost every action movie they make like in True Lies when Jamie Lee Curtis says "I married Rambo".

As far as I know, there was a 'deleted scene' more like a scene in the script that they never filmed about the three seashells. It was written as a joke but they decided to omit it when filming, the joke itself was similar to the part where John spews off lots of swear words and then proceeds to suggestedly "wipe my ass with what I think of your no swearing rule"

Movie description... *SO FUN...* _And yes, that is accurate._ Thanks for the reaction.

[@jcmclint]

The continuity of the verbal violations in this movie is my favorite thing. Like someone had to keep track and make sure it happened when it was supposed to.

[@bamachine]

I just decided to make up my own explanation for the seashells. I decided they are controls for a bidet. One for on/off, one for temp, one for intensity.

Now you are one of us, captivated forever by the mystery of the three seashells. By thw way, outside the USA Taco Bell was not so well known, so it was changed to Pizza Hutt. Both companies were related to Pepsi, which had invested in the film.
