It's actually interesting how Rico's face with all those implants is one closest glimpses we see of Dredd's actual face.

[@enokdnb7388]

Technically speaking, Fargo is what both Joe and Rico would look like since they're clones of him. Still true what you said though

[@JB0523]

Dredd- "You betrayed the Law!!!" RIco-"LAAAAWWWWWWW!!!" 😂

Dredd killing Rico could be a fantastic end to a season of the upcomming Dredd series. The hype is real.

it really is!!

[@rcct44444]

for me I would want it to be the finale to the series but that's just me while I love the dark judges no one will be a better enemy than rico

[@jasontodd4461]

Mr H Reviews movie of Rico and joe dredd?

[@adityadharni5027]

When bro

[@ronstreet6706]

being old enough to have purchased the first issue of 200ad, the one thing that sticks in my mind is, Judge Dredd didn't appear in the comic until issue 2. The portrayal of Rico in the 1995 film was pretty good, but not great. The portrayal of Dredd was abysmal. Dredd's face is never seen in the comics, and he is very rarely seen without his helmet on. This was explained by the writer as basically, the law is faceless, hence no face shots of Dredd. If Dredd was seen without his helmet, then, usually, his face would be covered by shadow, or obscured in some way.

[@gravesidepoet5405]

ron street agreed. I liked the portrayal of Rico in that movie

[@gmmffug9532]

If mega city one is planning on having seasons then he would make a great villain for season 1.

[@SixStringSteve]

I recall Rico well but only from his first appearance when he is killed by Joe. The line 'he ain't heavy he's my brother' stuck in my memory, 40 years ago it was published.

[@willybshreddn3794]

I'm 37 right now. I doubt the Judge Dredd comic story is from the late 70's.

Thank you for the excellent quality of the story telling, it really takes me back to when I originally read these fantastic stories.

[@nurse425]

I always wondered: Why did Rico's badge say 'Rico' but Joseph's said 'Dredd'? I just assumed it was to make it easier on the reader, but was there some canonical reason?

[@user-cd7kb7nx4v]

Its their last names.

[@atraxisdarkstar]

@@user-cd7kb7nx4v Then Eckhart is wrong? The start of the video states "Rico Dredd, the brother of Judge Joseph Dredd."

Mr H Reviews wasn't Rico the main bad guy character for Judge Dredd in the Sylvester Stallone movie several years back?

[@MrHReviews]

we don't speak of that film here....... lol but yes he was, that was a comic adaptation.

[@scruffylookingNerfherder5742]

Mr H Reviews I humbly apologize for mentioning that God awful movie on your excellent site. I personally far prefer the movie that Karl Urban did and wouldn't mind seeing a sequel

[@MrHReviews]

lol its all good man, kidding around of course. yeah the dredd 2012 was incredible, they are currently producing a tv show so hopefully we will get a similar aesthetic

[@eddy_malouempereur_du_cong6536]

[@miafillene4396]

Wat?

[@michaelgraham4922]

I've always liked the stories involving the Dredd brothers, but one thing that has always bugged me is why don't both of their badges say Dredd? Every badge always uses a surname except for Rico.

[@jasonhahn8797]

Probably to better tell them apart.

[@jamie_d0g978]

They serve in the same district, so it's probably to tell them apart

[@mk8748]

Been a while since I read it but first time I saw Rico was in story were he and few others came from an alternate demention were they killed their dread to the one we're dread had killed them all or least beat them have you heard about that one?

Sounds like the Dark Judges. Judge Death is essentially Dredd from another dimension who killed everyone in their dimension.

Truth? I learned about Dreads brother from the movie. Such a waist of talent. But as it stands, ether die a hero or live Long enough to see your self become the villain.

[@paulkielty8385]

This is an excellent video, lots of detail. I was an avid reader as a child and my brother bought me a novel where Dredd actually does kill his brother and becomes evil. Our Dredd ends up in that universe and has to battle the cybernetically enhanced Judge Dread. A fantastic read, it's still in my house somewhere, hidden from my children and dog because they've both tried to destroy it Can't remember the name but I highly recommend you read it friend H.

[@JetcannonM]

very nice, good job

[@VEZOK54]

Mr.H! Did you see the "Superfiend" Judge Dredd animated fan film? I think you would enjoy it though the animation does gets a bit crazy at times. Though it's cool to see Rico in animation (along with Judge death)

mr H just a idea with all this talk of the judge dredd tv show rebellion should talk to the people who make the fan film judge minty and strontium dog , they show what can be done with a low budget and a lot of love for the subject matter, good video by the way mr H .

[@mfinch6972]

What about the allusions suggesting Dredd is having second thoughts about the Judge System? His pondering on the last words of Fargo, that it was never meant to last forever. Reckon he'll be thinking hard on Rico's motivations....

[@monteroc2303]

loved it never read or seen any of the movies I'mma definitely check them out now. what woul you say is the better Dreed movie the original or the rebooted version?

[@Daimon-X]

Rico... "The Sentence is Death" In "Judge Dredd: Trapped on Titan", Dredd disguise himself as Rico

[@seanm4095]

Did anyone not see that a guy like Rico: the closer you come too peace the more militant he will become feeling there is no place for him!

[@BIGhappyG33]

Didn't Rico's badge also say Dredd? Since they use the surname? Some of these picture might be of Judge Rico, a different character.

[@MrHReviews]

I know who judge rico is buddy, but no rico did have a different badge to his brother.

[@BIGhappyG33]

Mr H Reviews My mistake

[@MrHReviews]

though you're right to question it! traditionally its always the surname

[@davidjames1068]

Rico and Dredd are both (clone in some versions) bothers so they should use the same surname on their badge, but this is not true in the comics. Either this is a continuity error/plot hole in the comics, or ( in universe) Justice Department gives different names to member of the same family to prevent family networks and nepotism. But why give Dredd the family name and his younger brother a random first name? Psychologically this could be damaging to the younger brother since they must be less than a few weeks different in age. In later stores other clones of Dredd were given other names. This point I cannot figure out.

[@Brutalyte616]

david james Because 'Judge Joseph' is a hell of a lot less intimidating and Rico had proven himself the superior of the two early on, thus earning a right to a more individualized title. Also, it could simply be a contrivance on the writer/artist's part, allowing both them and the audience to keep better track of who's who.

Mr H, I have been subscribed for some time now. And every time I look at a video of yours, I think the same thing. Have you ever considered using your voice for audio books? Maybe you should give it a try, I think that is something for you. Anyway, I think it would be a cool idea if Rico's child searches for an older Judge Dredd. Not for revenge, but to better understand the past of his / her father. This would be a great way to get many short stories in a comic. I have to admit that I do not know if that child is still alive. So that can be a small problem. Keep it up and greetings from the Netherlands
