18:59 Stallone and Schwarzenegger were movie rivals. They both made the best action movies, but each was too big of a star to be together in a movie until the Expendables. That's why they both made these meta jokes in their movies about each other.

OH GOD don't let Hollywood remember they can make a sequel....

[@johnow7]

The police captain that you hate has made a career playing odious or annoying administrators. His name is Bob Gunton. He played the warden in Shawshank Redemption. He was in the 101st Airborne during Vietnam. He won the Bronze Star. A close friend he served with was wounded and he called in a medical evacuation for him. After his friend was gone in the chopper, he wasn't able to find out if he lived or died. Years later his friend who was wounded was vacationing with his wife in New York when he saw Bob's face on a Broadway poster for Evita in which Bob played Juan Peron. He sent word to Bob, Bob sent him free tickets, and they had a reunion after the show. He does charity work with veterans.

[@johansmallberries9874]

Thanks for that, great backstory. I always appreciated the fact that he basically got “discovered” by Hollywood later in his career by turning in a great performance in Shawshank.

[@karlsmith2570]

He also played one of the doctors that taught at the medical school that Robin Williams' character attends in the movie "Patch Adams", as well as playing the character of Captain Benjamin Maxwell in the episode of Star Trek:The Next Generation titled "The Wounded" and the character of Leland Owlsley in "Daredevil"

[@Cadinho93]

Demolition Man is not only really fun and hilarious, but its actually kind of deep, showing the downsides of extreme order and chaos through its two antagonists. Also, Wesley Snipes was a darn blast in this movie. Just sheer anarchy and as I always say, he's basically playing "The Joker" and crushing it.

[@Mansplainer2099-jy8ps]

More like extreme rigorousness and anarchy (since, as far as I can tell, "chaos" has never existed.) And yes, Snipes has mannerisms you can easily see in incarnations of "The Joker".

Owning firearms of any kind should necessarily require extremely strict checks and tests. You need to pass tests to drive a car, since it's such a dangerous tool, so you should absolutely be required to undergo strict military-level training and testing in the use of firearms before being allowed to own them and even carry them around in your pants or glove compartments... Take Switzerland as a real life example, where everyone owning guns there has also been through military training and therefore there are virtually no firearms problems whatsoever.

You seem like such a nice person that this future would really gel with your personality. But as more and more of how restrictive and PC everything is, the more you're like "oh, this furture is crap. Bring back body fluids!" Good stuff..

[@jessicaslater4243]

I very highly recommend you watch First Blood. It's the first movie in the Rambo series, and it's the only one based on a book and so it's much more story driven without all of the over-the-top action. It's also some of Stallone's absolute best acting.

[@McPh1741]

I was in high school when this came out. I remember Taco Bell commercials advertising the movie. To this day, I’ll still occasionally tell a friend to enhance their calm. Still One of my fave action movies. Seriously, you HAVE to watch Copland. It’s one of Sly’s best. Also another under appropriated 90s Stallone movie is “Daylight”. It’s a great action disaster movie.

[@angelagerrand9446]

When it came out in New Zealand we’d never heard of Taco Bell, it was dubbed over as Pizza Hut!

Copland is a really good film

[@rustyforceps1012]

He was great in Copland. Great movie!!

[@stang5755]

Cop Land always seems to be under nearly everyone's radar and its shame, as it's quite good. Stallone shows a bit more dramatic chops as he doesn't play a total muscle hero as he does here. It also has a truly powerhouse supporting cast with Robert De Niro, Harvey Keitel, Ray Liotta, Robert Patrick, Michael Rapaport, and John Spencer along with others.

[@dukedude7460]

Spartan and Phoenix gave me very much Batman and Joker vibes with their rivalry/ back and forth. Great reaction!

[@quatz1981]

"Give me a needle and a thread" joke was what Stallone actually did in First Blood. Sewed his arm back up after a nasty fall.

[@ian3314]

"I dont get the sea shells."...yep.😂

[@jamesuk3896]

Cliffhanger is another entertaining Stallone action movie of the 90s.

[@D0CI87PC]

Such a fun reaction to a great movie! The movie is great example of a "benevolent" autocratic dystopia ala Huxley's "Brave New World".

[@tzeege]

Exactly. Sandra Bullock's character, Lenina Huxley, is even named as a reference to Lenina Crowne from Huxley's novel.

[@Mauther]

This movie is pretty much a 90's inspired retelling of Brave New World. John Spartan is frequently referred to as a savage, mirroring John the Savage in BNW who came from the non-technological Reservation. The constant focus on cleanliness and hygiene. The rejection of intimacy and emotional expression. Just a lot more bullets and explosions.

[@chrisinfiesto835]

“Cop Land” is where Stallone proved he is more than an action star.... 💯🔥🤙🏽😎

Wesley Snipes did an awesome job playing the villain. Just the blast he was having made it blast to watch. There's a lesser known movie titled "Chaos" from 2005, starring Wesley, along with Ryan Phillippe and Jason Statham, where Mr. Snipes also plays the bad guy. Well worth a watch.

@@francescathomas3502Stallone admitted later that he was messed with fans when he said that, and nobody actually knows how they are used.

[@Drawkcabi]

When Stallone was born the doctor used forceps that severed a nerve and parlayzed the left side of his face, he had to train himself to talk the best way he could. Because of his speech pattern he was diagnosed as having a "dormant brain" and was teased constantly. Part of the reason he became so physically built was to make people have second thoughts about teasing him. He also got into acting partly to use practicing many different dialogs as a way to improve his speaking.

[@Zagor24]

Demolition Man is the pinnacle of 90's entertainment, when movies were just plain fun! Also can't believe you only watched Stallone in Rocky so far, that is an untapped gold mine! So many more gems for you to discover. P. S. As far as Sandra Bullock goes, I think you would like The Proposal (2009) with Ryan Reynolds, that movie is right up your alley. 😉

[@pamosborn1956]

I laughed when you said Stallone's gonna use his seamstress skills during that big fight! LOL I love this movie BTW & thoroughly enjoyed watching you react to it.

[@dougallen9689]

That actually genuinely would have been a more satisfying conclusion, story-wise.

[@michaelccozens]

@@dougallen9689 Indeed. Much more set-up/pay-off. More narratively coherent. As long as we still get Phoenix's head doing the T1000.

[@WhackyRavenLand]

YES! I love this movie! It was way ahead of it's time and it nailed several points about the future of technology like videocalls, self-driving cars, video conferances, handheld tablets, voice activated appliances and biometric implants. More Stallone and more Snipes, please! Stallone's "First Blood" (Rambo) is a must and if you want Marvel, look no further than Snipe's portrayal of Blade.

[@amberdee1219]

This movie is slept on so much! I get so excited when I see people react to this one!

[@CaptainAmercia]

I adore this movie so much. I remember coming across my mums VHS tapes around the 2000s when i was a kid, born Dec 1999. It had an average of two movies on them so I'd start watching some wholesome movie about a boy and his dog only for the next thing movie to The Running Man 1987 with Arnold Schwarzenegger or this movie Demolition Man. That's how I discovered alot of these classic 1980s to 1990s action movies most of them stuff a 8 year old shouldn't be watching tbh. Total Recall, The Running Man. Demolition Man, Starship Troopers, Highlander, Predator, Aliens, Top Gun, Die Hard, Mad Max 2, Escape from New York, Lethal Weapon, Big Trouble in Little China, Beverly Hills Cop, They Live, Conan the Barbarian, pick any of these movies and you'll have a fun time. Starship Troopers may be far too violent but the others are great. Another Sly movie that's set in a dystopian future is Judge Dredd based on the Judge Dredd 2000AD British comic books series. From an art direction stand point it's amazing feels like they pulled everything straight out of the comic but the characters themselves such as Dredd aren't too faithful to the comic which naturally upset alot of comic fans. But the film does a good job at showcasing the more crazy and silly side of the 2000AD universe with it's designs and overall tone and depiction of the future. It's kind of like the Tim Burton Batman movies in this regard having a very comic book inspired city compared to the more tame Nolan Trilogy. Then you have Dredd from 2012 which is amazing, lower budget so the art direction is much more tame in compression having a more near future look instead but everything else is amazing. it's also much more faithful to Dredd as a character and showcases the more mature and darker side of the 2000AD universe. So both films go for different things, combine these two together and we'd have one hell of a Judge Dredd movie or show. So yeah I personally recommend the 2012 Dredd film overall. If the film got a sequel I could see them developing Mega City One closer to the comics to show the passage of time. Wesley Snipes is amazing in this movie if you want to see more of him i highly recommend Marvel's Blade trilogy from the first movie in 1998 to Blade: Trinity released in 2004. These pre date the MCU so like Spider-Man, X-Men, Fantastic Four they're not connected to any greater universe. Blade 1 and 2 are amazing fun and credited for kick started the whole Marvel wave of movies along with X-Men which is also credited for that. Blade: Trinity is pretty mixed i actually have never seen it but like I said I adore the first two movies.

[@osmanyousif7849]

"Cliffhanger" and "First Blood" are great classic Stallone flicks.

[@marcuszaja6589]

Another great fun-ironic Stallone movie I can recommend is "Judge Dredd" (1995) 🙃. A very underrated Stallone movie worth a watch is "Cliffhanger" (1993). As for Wesley Snipes (Simon Phoenix) the Blade trilogy is a good start.

[@anzaeria]

Yes, you should definitely check out more Stallone movies. First Blood and Rambo: First Blood Part 2 are both awesome but also quite different in tone (comparing the two.) There are three other Rambo sequels (which are a mixed bag.) Cliffhanger, Escape To Victory and Nighthawks are worth watching too.

[@gavintheg.o.a.t2001]

Not to mention The Expendables

[@ChatarraCrow]

I love the idea of the commercials becoming an oldies pop thing. I remember songs like that and we all do. Especially local ones. I remember singing Mattress Giant when I was a teenager in Texas and being from Chicago area originally, Empire (and when Empire added 800 to their number) and Victory Auto (more the guy in bell bottoms and the door falling off. I'm sure everyone here knows the Education Connection song.

[@Emilysbrother1]

What I didn't clock until your comment was that old commercials ARE kind of a niche thing now, there are channels dedicated to showing blocks of commercials from the 70s, 80s and 90s, as well as hobbyists with their own film scanners uploading old trailers and film clips into 4K and they're all very calming, relaxing, and retro. Go figure!

A couple of Stallone movies you should consider checking out is Rambo, which spawned several sequels like Rocky spawned several. And the other is Cop Land, which showed Stallone is much more just an Action Star actor. Cop Land is my favorite Stallone movie.

[@BulldogMack700rs]

Sooo glad you've done this movie, it's in the running for my favourite film. It gives me happy joy joy feelings. On a side note Stallone is a seriously underrated actor much like Schwarzenegger they are overshadowed by their epic action roll's, during the 90s they constantly had playful references to each other in their movies so fun.
