[@David_Axelord]

When damning evidence is presented against you in court, standing up and screaming "I've never broken the law, I am the law!" Usually does not sway the judge. Regrettably I know this from experience. Seems traffic court doesn't appreciate references to 90's action schlock as much as I do.

[@ProjectEchoshadow]

But you're the law

[@sunburst8810]

+David Axelord yeah sure you did bud

[@lelandunruh7896]

I've never had the stones to risk my license on something quite that ridiculous, but did once heatedly admonish opposing counsel in open court that what she was asking the judge to do was impossible "because this is Texas, not Mega-City One." Probably not the best way to argue, but I won the motion.

[@RespectProcess]

you have to do it multiple times consecutively to get your point across

[@AdmiralBison]

Did you pronounce "law" properly?

[@killer92173]

5:24 you failed to acknowledge one little detail: HE TAKES OFF HIS HELMET!!! In the comic books, Judge Dredd RARELY takes off his helmet, and when he did, it was always censored so you never see his face!! The creator of Judge Dredd said that the reason Dredd never takes off his helmet is because it explores "The facelessness of Justice; Justice has no soul." Have Dredd take off his helmet is like showing the face of Dr. Claw from Inspector Gadget, and we all know how well THAT turned out!! It's a rule you don't break, and they broke it in the first 15 minutes!!!

[@DoomguyIsGrinningAtYou.]

So the original Master chief?

[@danielthrasher1738]

Essentially the first rule that comic had.

[@bubba200874426]

This is a concession you have to make for movies. It's hard to cast a good actor and not show their face. You'd have to find someone that is good and doesn't mind not being seen which is extremely difficult to manage. Too much of acting depends on facial expression. It works in comics and cartoons because you're not constrained to real faces, and high concept ideas almost never make money in movies. Unless you don't need to actually make money from the movie, or it's a nostalgia cash in like Dredd 3D appeared to be(whew did those people get catfished,) no studio is going to buy it.

[@aokproservice9324]

@@bubba200874426 Karl Urban never took off the Dredd helmet in the movie Dredd released a few years back, he did a pretty decent job of portraying Dredd, definitely not as much shouting as Stallone. The film itself isn't too bad either even if it feels a bit like the screenplay they threw away for the one they decided to use in The Raid movie. In some parts the effects actually resemble the artwork in the old 2000AD/Dredd comics. One last point Karl Urban refused to take the helmet off on the grounds that Dredd never did.

[@bubba200874426]

​@@aokproservice9324 There is far more to making a movie than just writing a screenplay. You have to write a screenplay that would actually get sold. Dredd(2012) doesn't sell in 1995 as a screenplay. Dredd(2012) is a Judge Dredd movie. Judge Dredd(1995) is an action movie set in that universe. The latter is much easier to sell to a production company. Dredd is the least interesting character in that universe, just like Bond is the least interesting character in his universe, so a movie that pointedly avoids humanizing the main character to make them more interesting never had a chance to sell. Especially in 1995 when there isn't a comic book movie boom happening. It's not a good movie or a good adaptation, but I enjoy it, and I recognize that it(and Dredd 2012) doesn't get made if it was a more faithful adaptation.

Thank you for mentioning how the cops that were in the hover bike chase were likely good guys and killed for no good reason. That was one of my biggest frustrations about the movie.

Yes they are SJS, and boy are they vicious... Dredd has had problems with them in the past. But yeah, as far as they know they are hunting a rogue judge. Difficult situation.

All Dredd needs to an alibi, where was he when the murders took place?

[@amehak1922]

They're bullets, they wouldn't say "armor piercing" otherwise.

[@paulheggett6887]

The Lawgiver and bullets are all tied to a specific Judges DNA to prevent other perps from using it....

[@scorchx3000]

The Lawgiver pistol uses DNA recognition to allow only authorised judges to fire it, it also tags all bullets fired with DNA of the judge using it. I'm guessing it would normally be used to check for excessive force to ensure judges are not executing too many perps, such as the 7 Dredd killed at the start to where Fargo questioned if they were avoidable.

[@CteCrassus]

And somehow two people who look nothing alike just so happen to have identical DNA.

While technically the new Dredd is a better movie, I think this one captures the feel of the comics much better.

Clever metaphor for the the abandonment of freedom the world has adopted.

[@saidi7975]

+Paul Staker I didn't find the new one good. It was creatively BANKRUPT. In fact, right after the good 20 minutes...there's nothing to really watch. THIS one on the other remains entertaining from start to finish and got the point of the comic even if it's more of a John Spartan movie.

[@paulstaker8861]

saidi7975 The slomo shots were worth it though.

[@saidi7975]

***** Well I disagree with it. Look, it's very simple : The thing about Joseph Dredd is that he suffers the opposite problem Deadpool does nowadays. People take him waaaaay too seriously, while in fact they are NOT supposed to. The character is satirical first and foremost and the whole helmet always on head is to ridicule Dredd's overzealousness, not because he's a mistifying enigma ! Hell the world he lives in is over-the-top insane like if Mad Max and Wackyland had a deformed baby ! Yes, I agree that Stallone only played the comics character only for the first 15 minutes of the movie (that was spot on !). Yes , he then went on John Spartan with it ...but it was still FUN and it had a story set in Dredd's world as a silver lining (Mean Machine FTW !). Urban by contrast had jack shit to play off of and right after the 20th minute and the first Slomo shot.... I was bored... and I am not hard to satisfy ! Had they gone bonkers and hammy with it, then I would have called it a better movie...but it isn't. Neither as an adaptation nor as a movie.

For some reason I prefer the old Nostalgia Critic reviews, albeit the newer stuff is amazing. That song at the end of the Grandma Got Run Over By A Reindeer review?

Wait ...am I.. getting nostalgia over the Nostalgia Critic's reviews? I need a moment to process this... TL;DR Please keep making more reviews, you are the voice of a generation.

[@paradoxacres1063]

I hear people mostly rewatch this for Stallone's goofy acting. I'm not a big fan. The 2012 movie, _Dredd_, is clearly the superior movie.

[@NIGHTSTALKER973]

+Paradox Acres hell yeahy i would pick DREDD over stallones dredd anyday of the week

[@TheSmokingSkull]

Totally. Stallone's movie did NOT do the comic book justice, but the 2012 movie "Dredd" was awesome.

[@Greyghostvol1]

+The Smoking Skull Judge Dredd works best if they use an unknown actor that doesn't mind that his face won't be shown for all or the vast majority of the movie. Stallone was huge by the time this movie was out, no way he would allow his face be covered. Also, the newer Dredd went wise and stuck to a single, self contained story like a comic book.

[@GriffinPilgrim]

+Greyghostvol1 Well, not so much unknown (guy was in Lord of the Rings), more an actual actor who understands the role and puts that ahead of his ego. Like Hugo Weaving in V for Vendetta; he's hardly small time, Matrix, Transformers, Lord of the Rings again, but he got the role and the mask stayed on. Also big plus in Dredd's favour was that, unlike this film, they didn't try to make it a big earth shattering event but more like a day in the life. Felt more genuine.

[@zedek_]

+Paradox Acres The film is criminally underrated. I don't think it was marketed well.

[@Tankdomain]

As a movie Judge Dredd is actually quite close in tone and humour to the comics. People think of Judge Dredd as this super serious character (which he is) but the comics themselves are anything but. They are like Mad Magazine parodies of sci-fi cop movies. The comics are utterly ridiculous with Dredd playing the straight man for contrast.

[@Sorrel-Fox]

Yeah the comic was made as a satire on the American Justice System and the idolization of police violence and the "lone gun" stereotype. I like both Dredd movies for different reasons, they both weirdly get things right about the universe.

[@Tankdomain]

ClockworkFoxify Dredd gets the titular character right. Carl Urban IS Judge Dredd as far as I'm concerned. Where Judge Dredd got the world, character types and the satire right. Both actually work quite well as movies about Judge Dredd. People just rag on Stalone because of his thick, New Jersey accent.

[@Maximara]

In fact, Judge Dredd (1995) takes several ideas/plots straight from the comics. The Angel family's cannibalism comes straight from the comic (1980) as does Mean "Mean Machine" Angel's anger dial. The movie's basic plot is a condensed version of the "Day the Law Died" (1978) where a madman (Cal) becomes Chief Judge and framed Dredd to get him out of the way. Dredd having a clone brother is also from the comics: "The Return of Rico" (1977). The Dredd comics of the 1970's had a _lot_ of camp elements. For example, Chief Judge Cal made a fish Deputy Chief Judge and in his search for the Judge Child Dreed encountered Faro who had recreated ancient Egypt in the Cursed Earth and had slaves mine garbage. ( www.starkafterdarkonline.com/?p=9963 ) While the camp toned down in the main Dredd books in the 1990s, it went to even higher levels in tie-ins like Red Razors. In that book (set 50 years further in the future from the Dredd series) the body of Elvis Presley (who is worshiped as a god) is stolen. Searching for the body is Sov-Block Judge Razors (a mind altered criminal), his talking horse Ed (who is also a Judge), and the Spooky Doo enforcers (who as the name suggests are effectively Scooby Doo and company knock offs...to the point "Mystery Machine" is on the side of their van).

1:55 Ackchewelee, the Mega Cities of the Judge Dredd universe have been a thing since the 1970's.

[@paid4hir35]

Wait, I know Critic didn’t say that Rocky IV was bad, it has easily the best training montage in film history.

[@user-hv6dv6wh7v]

I still prefer this Dredd film to the new one. I wish they made a Stalone Dredd Trilogy one more campy than the next. The second film could have been the Dark Judges ark and the 3rd The Apocalypse War. and a bonus 4th film could have been the Chief Judge Caligula arc. it would have been awesome!

[@benitofranco372]

Hey Doug/Critic! Review 2012 and Zathura!

[@Darth-vade123]

James earl Jones doing the narration he sounds like he is using his Darth Vader voice

[@jmd1861]

You know if you pause it at 7:00 and squint a bit, Stallone looks like an older Joey from Friends or a twin to him now but buff lol

[@TheBlackKakashi]

I don't know why people say the original Dredd is better than the remake

[@LockeWick]

+ASaiyanNamedMalcolm Because it is easier to get into while the reboot is much darker and much closer to the comics in both style and story. I definitely disagree with people who say this version of Dredd is better then the reboot version though.

[@JaelinBezel]

+ASaiyanNamedMalcolm Malcolm doesn't sound like a vegetable though.

[@TheBlackKakashi]

+Cody Hines neither is Gohan, Goten, or Trunks, but I don't hear you complaining about that 👀

[@JaelinBezel]

ASaiyanNamedMalcolm Because they're all HALF saiyan!

[@TheBlackKakashi]

+Cody Hines still a saiyan so..

[@saibisureddo5657]

Judge dredd is still my absolute favorite sci fi movie. The way it captured the meg inspired me all my life.

[@docdave15]

16:25 - Went from cheesy comic book to Boys from Brazil in a matter of seconds.

[@the-harley-show]

7:19 did he just say "he'd take retirement homes in 2020 any day"?

[@mangan8r]

TWANTY YEARS!

[@Reshiram543]

when I saw Stallone at first, I said "CAPTAIN FALCON!"

[@orangeslash1667]

Dredd was an inspiration for the design.

[@tyleryoung2358]

Did you see that episode of LAAAAAAAAAAAAWWWWWW and Order last night

[@ysucae]

I don't understand how anyone can not love this movie. Except for that turd Rob Schneider. It's so badawesome. It gave so much for humanity. ...it is the LAAAW! (ps: look for Law remix by Alcaca, best thing ever)

[@Rogan_Dorn]

When half the cast of Dune couldn't find other work...

[@tavernadodevilhunter6732]

11:19 THE LAAAAAAAAAAAAAW

[@luckystriker842]

Every time you hear a musician brag about Versace, I want you to think of the codpiece Stallone wears in this movie. That was Gianno Versace's idea. You're welcome.

[@justicar347]

The thing is, it is actually fairly true to the comic in a lot of ways. That is how the uniform looks, the gun has a bunch of settings, and they do go on the long walk.

[@rafaelkoch7526]

Seth Corbett The long walk is optional in the comic.

[@crippledcrusader1321]

3:56 there’s the usual ammo and semi auto firing, there’s rapid fire, stun, double whammy, hot shot, armor piercing, incendiary, and probably a few more firing capabilities.

[@DwayneHicks426]

I loved the reboot with Karl Urban. HOWEVER.......it was too restricted. The orginal showed us the wasteland, other Judge units of the precinct, an awesome battlebot and a sad backstory of Dredd.

[@markmcarthy9222]

15:36 You don't mean by...?

[@joesuchy1157]

"Led by judy" :)

[@MrPiccoloku]

Hopps? Judy Hopps? :>

[@kara9516]

The worst part is where he takes the helmet off so many times Dredd never does this

[@rezaqalam482]

Same with master chief on halo series on Paramount +

[@jammyjames6646]

I can easily tell he is saying I am the law

[@p.z.arnott2329]

Jammy James LAAAAAAWWWWW!!!

[@cookingwiththecripple]

Yep you can but nostalgia critic is an asshole

[@josephbugeja3208]

7:18 well that's ironic..

[@kaijuhub3937]

2:14 You give Michael Behn his rifle back right now!

[@benjamincrowe6215]

Ah yes, the good old standard issue armour-piercing, hollow-point, explosive tipped, incendiary, tracer, double-whammy, tax-filing, sandwich-making ammunition. Never leave home without it.

[@FiauraTheTankGirlGamer]

You should take the remake and this one and compare them to see which one is actually better and why!

[@kantanenakseli8886]

The remake wins in everything, so its pretty pointless

[@FiauraTheTankGirlGamer]

Kantanen Akseli but it would be entertaining!

[@kantanenakseli8886]

+Fiaura The Tank Girl Well I agree with that

[@FiauraTheTankGirlGamer]

Kantanen Akseli See! It isn't about the value of one movie over the other, it's about laughing ourselves silly!

[@kantanenakseli8886]

+Fiaura The Tank Girl thats not a bad attidute on life

[@grumpyorgre2336]

1:11 and just before it genius but the judge Judy gag was pure genius

[@samkresil6011]

5:03 Wait, is this Diane Lane? Blimy, she looks young!

[@cinemastrength]

Thank God for Carl Urban

[@diamondwarrior2003]

*Karl Urban

19:21 I forget my iPod... (100 Bottles of Beer on the wall...)

[@Gokussjdensetsuno45]

“You want a new beginning? ᴴᵉʳᵉ!” Pushes random shit. “IAMTEHNEWBEGINNING!!111”

[@PsyberKing48]

0:31 came after hearing the news of James Earl Jones’ passing. RIP to the legend

[@Perrygallo]

14:07 reminds me of Curse of the Were Rabbit: 'a bullet?' lightning 'a bullet'

[@DJBSharpMusic]

Fun fact about the "I Am The Lahhh!" line: it's actually canon to the comics.

[@spinballpac-man]

4:32 best bit!

[@RedMoonSolitary]

Dredd 2 is in production, btw.... 😝

[@commandershepard5450]

Man I miss the old nostalgia critic

[@markmcarthy9222]

11:55 Umm you would be surprised in the Incredibles Movie.

[@cyborgninja5489]

This was obviously Stallone's answer to Arnold being in Total Recall. They are both intensely violent, but Total Recall is way less silly, although Arnold is more silly in it than Stallone is in this.

[@ZechsMerquise195]

Please do a review of the good Judge Dredd movie (2012)

[@andrewmontgomery5621]

9:49.Nice faint back there!

[@SirIkeMedia]

02:35 lamo XD

[@patrickkanas3874]

Karl Urban did this character so much better

[@DarkseidJoshua]

Rookie Judge: "I lost my codpiece sir!" Dredd: "I knew you'd say that!"
