Showing my age here but actually as a teenager I was an extra for ten days on this movie so I have a real soft spot for it. I can confirm that the Mega City One outdoor set was indeed built on the exact same lot as Gotham City from Batman (although rumour had it on set that it was a little larger and so - at that time - the biggest set ever built). It was actually two streets - one Main Street that was over half a mile long & one smaller cross street (where the bars were on one side of Main Street & the smaller alleyway where they find the ABC Warrior on the other. Was there on set for that final shot where Stallone walks out of the courthouse & Can also confirm that I did NOT see Rob Schneider that day so yeah - for sure that was a pick up. The set WAS incredible though - as were the props/vehicles/costumes - everyone had super-high hopes that this was finally gonna be Judge Dredd “done right” as apparently Danny Cannon was a big big fan of the source material. Shame it didn’t quite work out that way. I have very fond memories of making it though :)

[@lemon8890]

Nah the set and cast of the film is good except Sylvester Stallone I think he is the reason this film fail if he could just stick to the original script and wear the helmet through all the film this could turn out to be a cult classic or selling a million of tickets instead what we got is a good practice effects and set movie with a boring leading protagonist

[@11Bbq]

Judge Dredd awkwardly receiving a kiss from a regular person and not having any chemistry is the most comic accurate part of the movie.

I vaguely recall that there was a story where he had a female stalker who does kiss him when she gets arrested, so if course Dredd ups her sentence my another few years 😂

Funtime trivia: The FX artist who created the Hammerstein robot for the movie wasn't *supposed* to base the robot on Hammerstein. No one noticed until the robot was built and shooting was underway, so the producers ended up having to unexpectedly shell out for the ABC Warriors comic licensing as well.

[@ianucci]

There is early concept art of the robot by several artists and the robot is clearly based on hammerstein in all the pieces. I think there is more to this story. Maybe the intent was to use hammerstein from the beginning but they didn't nail down the licensing till late in production.

Demolition Man, aside from some ironically accurate funny takes on modern society, is a superior movie and a fantastic ode to people who see the follies of modern feminism.

[@extantsanity]

KZbin channel Darwinian Thought had a great video about this: kzbin.info/www/bejne/mHqnmqBsapmXh8U He astutely pointed out that the one thing Demolition Man couldn't predict was the odd turn of events that resulted in modern feminism becoming strange bedfellows with the most misogynistic of major religions by over-emphasizing the "nurture" element of human development, causing them to over-sympathize with their own oppressors. *Edit:* There are pros & cons to capitalism and pros & cons to socialism. Criticizing either one doesn't automatically make you an extremist for the other side, particularly when you criticize an extremist subset of beliefs like laissez-faire economics. Similarly, there are pros & cons to feminism and pros & cons to traditional gender views. Feminists have incorrectly framed the situation as an either/or ultimatum, which is a false dichotomy -- there are plenty of different and healthy directions we can go in the pursuit of gender equality. There are also feminists who believe that all PIV sex (penis-in-vagina) is automatically rape. That is an extremist view that should be roundly criticized, even (and especially) among people who believe in the equality of women. Their more mainstream beliefs are also easily disproved (e.g. wage gap, nurture over nature). I believe in the equality of women, but the feminist views of the Democratic party have left them unable to protect the democracy of the United States from autocrats like Trump, putting the entire world in danger. I have a right to be upset about that. If you disagree with me, that's your prerogative -- but insults aren't valid arguments that anyone should bother considering. Read some books, and get better acquainted with how the world really works.

The problem with this movie is that the script and execution are that of a generic 80's action movie with only the skin of Judge Dredd on top. The Carl Urban one does have a generic script but the execution is fucking magnificent

[@chrissandoval7675]

the script was straight out of the comics. changes were made of course. mama was originally about 70 yrs old and 300 lbs, so heady's casting readily changed that, along with her entire backstory. each level was controlled by one of mama's son's, which would've been too video gamey for film. all in all, the tweeks were minor, but they upheld the spirit of the comics. the treatment for the sequel read pretty much like the america storyline from the megazine except with dredd as the main character.

[@Bloodynine606]

It’s not generic it’s just simple. Which is why it works

[@Clay3613]

Clearly never read the book.

[@neoqwerty]

@@Bloodynine606 A wise thing I learned from manga: it's generic only because it's the archetype that birthed a whole subgenre. Or in Dredd's case, it's a successful reincarnation of the archetype that Judge Dredd codified. Judge Dredd is to sci-fi dystopia superheroes what Superman is to caped superheroes. They both seem generic only because we've had them as references for long enough that they're part of the furniture now, and the only ones who can see them as fresh are people who never went into superhero comics or read dystopias.

Absolutely, totally agree with ya mate. Such an underrated film at the time and not really appreciated at the time either. I remember it coming out and then my dad renting it on video but it was sort of at the tail end of the muscular action hero film craze and people wrote it off so quickly. But a totally engrossing satire that is ALSO a great action movie. The world feels so real and just takes on tropes and gives them a really interesting spin. I only recently bought Demolition Man on Blu Ray and usually I save that for films I REALLY love. But I watched it a while ago and enjoyed it so much I had to get it. I feel the same about Escape from L. A... sure it's not as good as original and it's nothing dramatically new but i think it's an excellent film and i really enjoy the world it shows. You can tell a lot of thought went into Demolition Man's world. Just a simple line like them talking about 'the franchise wars' gets your imagination going...and the whole sea shell thing...

I actually quite like this film. It's a guilty pleasure. 2000AD did produce a tie-in comic adaption, that works really well as an introduction to the Dredd universe for the casual reader. And it works really well because it's freed of the hammy performances of some of the cast, and the tongue-in-cheek humour of a lot of the story is more in keeping with the spirit of the comic strip. I mean, in the wider Dredd strips, Dredd had a housekeeper droid called Walter the Wobot, who mispronounced everything, and there was a reoccurring fame-hungry character who was only famous or his outrageously oversized nose. So it's not out of place. 200AD obviously felt the movie and adaption were a good jumping in-point, as they launched a Dredd comic skewed at a slightly younger age group than you'd find in either 2000AD or Judge Dredd Megazine. There's lots of things that work really well in the movie - the sets and design of Mega City One are totally accurate to the comic. The costumes are perfect - Dredd's armour would be completely impractical in real-life, but it looks great on screen. The Law-Master bikes look great, Mean Machine Angel and the Angel gang look great and in general the cast is excellent. Even Stallone isn't that bad in it. The main problem the movie faced, is that no-one outside of the UK really knew who Dredd was. There was no-way they'd have got the film made without a star name like Stallone attached, and there was no way a studio was going to pay for Stallone to appear in the film if his face was covered the whole time. It just wasn't going to happen. But I don't think it's absolutely awful. If you can track down a copy of the comic adaption, it's well worth a read. If you watch the Karl Urban Dredd film, and then follow it with this Dredd film, imagining it's 30 years later, it works.

[@D0S81]

this is one of my fav movies. i loved reading 2000 AD back then. when it came out i was only 14 so i was at the perfect age. the only things i ddnt like were the bikes had skinny wheels cuz they said they couldnt do big ones (which the dark knight would later prove wrong) and that he took his helmet off. oh and Rob Schneider. apart from that this film is great. it looked just like the comics i was reading at the time, it felt like them, t had the angel gang and mean machine looked exactly like he did in the books, and they had this awesome ABC robot in it that was so bad ass you know someone must still own that thing, ad it had a good story that was lifted straight from the books about Rico and Dredd being clones of the worlds greatest judges. if theyy had just took rob out this film would be perfect. The new one suuuuuucked. it was basically a wholefilm about climbing a tower block. that was it. didnt even feel like judge dredd. one day they will do a dredd film that looks like the 96 one but is as gritty as the karl urban one and has the dark judges in. that would be awesome. also demolition manis another of my fav childhood movies. f*cking love that shit next to T2 and Aliens man.

[@artboymoy]

I still like Stallone's Dredd a lot. For me it really caught the satirical stuff about Dredd and him from being a total and cruel fascist to being a more thoughtful fascist, much like what Dredd did with Anderson. They did shove a lot a world building and really paid homage to the comics with all the Chief Judges, Cursed Earth, the look of the Judges and Mega City One, Angel Gang and Mean Machine. Had sequels been made, you still have lots to pull from back then. I would have brought in the Apocalypse War and following all the death, invite in the Dark Judges for the third installment.

[@mccarthy5825]

Interesting take. I prefer the Dredd version but this has its merits. (especially sexy Diane Lane) likke the lads say you can see the budget on screen and the world looks lived in and very diverse. I love the whole Cursed Earth being the wild west with radiation, I agree with you regarding the fascist aspects of Dredd and I think if there was a sequel it could have been better. The way I see it is that back then there was the approach to make a comic or video game IP fit into a genre. This isn't a comic book movie or a Judge Dredd movie in the eyes of people at the time. It is a Stallone vehicle and a big shoot em up action film. So unfortunately, unlike today where say CA: The Winter Soldier is a CBM with spy thriller and action traits, this is those characters and that world molded and rewritten to fit into the action movie genre. You seem to know your Dredd, I am from Ireland so we had plenty of 2000AD comics here(and Marvel UK) so I was familiar. I actually got a Slainè graphic novel for like my 9th birthday or something and the page after page of slime, wart covered monsters, dismemberment and massive tits were certainly something I paid attention to and remembered! And of course it being based around Celtic mythology... Anyway even back then I had read enough Dredd to be surprised at Stallone getting the role and even more that it was just Rico he was against and not something a bit grander or more epic. I think in retrospect if you look back and think of it as part one of a trilogy it could work well. It sets up the lore, it shows us the world very well, we get a taste of the potential it had. Hopefully this Mega City One series wil come out and be good

I agree though that it would have been interesting to have a two-movie run where he got framed in the second, but it is what it is. I liked Dredd with Urban a lot too though, that was just amazing, but at times a little sterile, I can say I think i grew more into 'stallone' as dredd, then Urban, because you started rooting for him at one point, there was a story there. With Dredd3D, you had Urban, underneath the mask, but he never felt really human or being able to connect. You felt much more for the weird mutant girl, instead of Dredd. Hell, Dredd3D felt like playing a video game and Dredd was just a scripted NPC which you had to follow. Somehow, Dredd3D also felt like there was a 'pre story' missing to feel for Dredd. For example, if you take Robocop (totally different story i know) you have his history before he turned a badass cyborg, and thanks to that, he can do whatever he want and you are rooting for him. With Dredd3D, you just get introduced into a future world, people behave shitty, and the police is simply really hard and violent. That's it. It's really just that, there's no deeper story, there's no emotional bond to work on. With Stallone's dredd, I agree that him being set up doesnt really do MUCH, but, still, the brother and clone story with Armand Assante turns it into something where you can 'feel' something. If they had Urban's dredd have flashbacks for example where he remembers the cruel world when he was a child, where his child friends when he was still a child for example suffered, were killed, abused, murdered, perhaps make it dark and suggest rape, and you have Urban's dredd fight against THAT world, where people can feel something, then I think that would have worked better. In that aspect, i have got to give it, I preferred Stallone's Dredd. And yes, the costume, atleast the body, despite being spandex, was better.

You guys are hilarious and just earned a new subscriber. Also, I know removing the helmet isn't what ruins the movie, but man, he spends the majority of it helmet-less, and it certainly doesn't help matters. I'd be curious to see just how many minutes he's onscreen with versus without it.

[@maxsteel8031]

*I really liked Stalone's Judge Dredd. Everything was done well, the costumes were great, the ABC robot is one of my all-time favorites, and Snyder was good comic relief. The fact that Dredd was a prick and had to learn the hard way that the law wasn't infallible was the entire point of the movie.I know it didn't hold up to the comics, and that's probably why the fans trounced it, but for someone who never read an issue, it was a very solid movie.*

[@sirperybLakeney]

I totally agree that this review completely misses the (not particularly subtle) point that Dredd was supposed to be an asshole who learns something in the course of the movie. Snyder was 'good' though? Meds.

Yesssssss thank you for doing this out of nowhere. I love Dredd comics because promotion for the '95 movie turned me on to them, but since I was 12 I couldn't see it till home video.

Sooo.. he's just like any other cop? They think they never break the law because they are the law.

[@uosdwiSrdewoH]

The costume does look accurate. As a judge Dredd, someone who gets shot on a semi regular basis he's keenly aware that the armour needs to protect your most important parts, namely your shoulders and your junk, while leaving your core and every single one of your vital organs including your heart, which Dredd never uses but his body still needs to pump blood out of all the other organs that will have also been shredded by gunfire because they are only covered in a very thin layer of spandex. Follow up to the accuracy of the look I have a very real question. Why is he wearing blue contacts? In the comic he never takes his helmet off so his eye colour is unknown. Armand Assante doesn't have blue eyes. In fact his eyes are the same colour as Stallone's. They're supposed to be twins or whatever so why not just keep their own eyes instead of both needlessly wearing blue contact lenses? Question complete. Awaiting answer...

[@narcspector]

James the funniest line in the movie is Stallone saying: "Actually, they were roasted." When Rob Schneider asks if anybody made it through the flame thing or whatever. I lied earlier, I did see this movie, but I was like 12 and that's the only thing I remember... because it was dumb lol

TRIVIA ABOUT BOTH MOVIES: The costume in Dredd is Also accurate. Matt Wagner wanted the costume to be a streamlined leather biker uniform inspired by David Carradine's Frankenstein from Death Race 2000. But artist Carlos Ezquerra designed a gaudy outfit with extra armor and chains. So artist Mike McMahon was brought on and he designed a stripped down simplistic version of the costume. Carlos' concept design was rejected by Wagner, Which he described as looking like a "Spanish pirate".

[@HappyCynic]

'John' Wagner. Mick McMahon drew the first published Judge Dredd strip. He didn't redesign the character.

[@orinanime]

@@HappyCynic you're right about the Matt/John slip up. My bad. And SOMEBODY redesigned Dredd. Because the crazy giant shoulder pads and huge golden eagle were Ezquerra's original design that Wagner vetoed. Then after returning, Ezquerra brought back his look.

[@orinanime]

​@@HappyCynic I've actually been researching this, since then. Mike McMahon did actually redesign the character. Carlos Ezquerra had at least one maybe two designs for Dredd before the first issues were released. Due to behind the scenes issues Ezquerra left the project. Look up Judge Dredd's first appearance in 2000 AD Prog 2 and look up Carlos Ezquerra original concept art. They are not the same. Similar, sure, but clearly went through a redesign.

The Hammerstein robot wasn't meant to be the Hammerstein robot . . . they'd asked 2000ad artist Kev Walker (a production designer on the movie) to design a big robot and he drew what he knew, unbeknownst to the Producers. Skip forward to the robot has been built at no slight expense and the Producers are showing it off to the 2000ad people . . . "you know, you haven't paid for the rights to the ABC Warriors", and lo the Producers then had to pay for the ABC license . . .

I'm sure you guys didn't intended to do this, but "Eskimo" is a derogatory term. People from Nunavut are referred to as the Inuit. I understand people are constantly getting on each other about being PC, but Inuit people I know, HATE that this is not well known or being implemented enough.

[@Ballbagsaggins]

Out of genuine interest: what does the "E" word mean to the Inuit/Nunavut people? Is there an offensive historical context, such as the "N" word, or is it more of a derogatory term, such as the "M" word for short people? Or is it something else alltogether? I would always try to use the terms that people would identify with anyway but find it useful to know why.🙂

[@Simian-bz7zo]

@@Ballbagsaggins There is still debate about the etymology of the word, but one school of thought is that it is derived from a Cree word meaning 'eater of raw meat' which would, if correct, have pejorative undertones. Whatever the origin of the word, it is not what the Inuit people call themselves, and as such Inuit should be the preferred term (or Aleut, Yupik, etc. depending on which indigenous peoples are being discussed).

02:30, Thanks for telling us about over the top humour as people who obviously never read the comics, which is sad, given how long our Aussie mates used to have to wait for their "progs" of 2000ad back in the day, these aussie fans were staunch, mate. Judge Dredd was satire, Dredd was funny, but in how he was really inflexible as a character. The humour was stuff like him killing someone he's trying to save, but keeping within the law, because he's "tough but fair", only he never was and that was the joke. Stallone brought the wrong kind if humour into the film and ruined it, like with the taking his helmet off, which Dreed never does and that's even more credit to Urban for sticking with that and still being able to act with the bottom half of his boat race. 20:15 Joe Dredd's a clone and so is his brother Rico, obvs. Yes, Judges don't really get trials and are policed by the SJS, the Special Judicial Squad who have these cool little skulls on their badges. Yeah, the Long Walk is optional, some choose to go out into the Cursed Earth and be a lawperson there. Chief Judge McGruder does it and comes back with a beard to save the day after the Judge Dredd "Dead Man" story and the last good epic in the comics, where I personally end my collection now there, because they should have retired Dredd and left it to his young clone, like they were trying to set up. He's all having second thoughts about the democracy movement and then sort of forgets all about it to be Dredd again, kind of sad when they were obviously lining him up for that with the long walk that he took.
