I remember the scene where Spartan is sitting in the backseat of Huxley’s squad car and he wanted to hear some music. Huxley asks the computer in her car to play “Oldies”, which are nothing more than commercial jingles and the most popular is the jingle for Oscar Mayer Hotdogs. Huxley and her partner sings the tune and Spartan has this look that he is saying in silence, “Elvis has DEFINITELY left the building.” Taco Bell enjoyed the fact that this movie made them stars in the film and had advertising on just about all of their restaurants. I didn’t know that Pizza Hut was in another print of Demolition Man. Then, again, I think Pizza Hut and Taco Bell were under the same company, if my memory serves. The scene where Huxley explained that a number of diseases came from physical contact was interesting and in many ways it was true. The H1N1 virus strain from the flu came out in the early 2000s. And now we have COVID-19 and its other mutated strains. I enjoyed the film for the escapist fantasy of the old colliding with the new.

Thanks. This is one of my favorites from that time. I've always thought it was much more clever & well-written than most gave it credit for.

Arnold having been president (fully 10 years before he was actually governor), self-driving cars, & Huxley's constant malapropisms in using old-school lingo. I even like Edgar Friendly's assertion, "I'm no leader. I just do what I have to. Sometimes, people follow." I know this is mainly an action shoot 'em up, but there's enough world building here to sustain either a much longer movie, or at least a sequel.

Their idea of utopia: Extreme political correctness. Demolition Man is truly ahead of its time, seriously. Lastly, I heard this theory about the 3 seashells: Nobody knows how the 3 seashells work in universe or out, and they're all too ashamed and repressed to ask each other for help. Also, the writer just put it in the script and let people’s imaginations run wild.

I recently rewatched it - with grownup eyes. Fascinating how our culture changed so much, a film with such radical, point blank libertarian philosophy would hardly be made today. I especially like how even Simon Phoenix was appaled by how crazy and evil Dr Cocteau actually was.

Great Video! I’ve seen commentaries on this movie, but this is the first time I wondered how Pax, the Pax Romana of Imperial Rome really was.

I've been having this conversation for about 6 years. It's almost like our leaders today watched 80s movies in the past and said, "ya know, that's not a bad idea."

[@luisar5755]

Thats truth.. The current president of mexico is trying to do like the governor in this film, pushing the idea that savage sicarios are "victims" and they need love and hugs.. Its quite crazy..

[@naivedays5421]

You make this movie look so much better than it is lol good job

[@dragonballbeatz558]

I see you got the Pizza Hut add in this video lmao

[@nazart7830]

To be fair, I wouldn’t mind eating Pizza Hut my whole life

“Unrestrained rage toward the people the system is purportedly helping.” Reminds me of covid vaccination mandates and how the powers at be sought to penalize the noncompliant. 6:50

[@Neurograf]

I had the same thought. The current state of affairs in the world reminded me of this movie. The movie Fahrenheit 451 is another movie that comes to mind.

Unhealthy food is banned but then pizza hut or taco bell is the only restaurant left 🤔

[@filmcomicsexplained]

Over time they would have adapted their food to reflect the new laws as they grew into a corporate monolith

The most unrealistic part was John Spartan being held accountable for manslaughter.

Nostalgia Critic's review of this movie had me rolling on the floor with laughter several times. FENIX!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@kimjames6028]

One of my favorites! Saw this in the theater a few times.

[@ALX_Fitness91]

Love that movie 🍿 Also any Utopia is someone else dystopia , all of us have different beliefs and no matter how some groups are trying to impose their view they will encounter resistance.

[@LexingtonDeville984]

Watched Demolition Man recently and it is still so far ahead of it’s time.
