Best use of the term "Mickey Mouse piece of shit" ever in cinema history.

 

[EGM1966]

Ah Demolition Man - great fun.

 

[daviyoung]

it's terrible

 

[Ragnarok]

Dennis Leary is by far the worst part of the movie. I wish him and the sewers got cut from the movie entirely.

 

[Verger]

Such an amazing movie. So hilarious. I can still remember seeing it in the theater and pretty much the whole audience was having a great time and laughing through it all.

"Fellow greetings citizen. What appears to be your Boggle?"

"Maniac is imminent! Request advice!"

Dennis Leary is by far the worst part of the movie. I wish him and the sewers got cut from the movie entirely.

He's the only real weakspot of the movie at all. He's a pretty essential character though, so he cant be cut.

 

[Lautaro]

Amazing movie. Pure fun.

 

[Nishastra]

The best thing about Taco Bell being in the movie is that, after it came out, they changed their logo to the purple and yellow bell on an angle that it is now, similar to the logo in Demolition Man.

Before Demolition Man, their logo was just this.

 

[JinjoUnchained]

Loved this when it came out. Only problem was Sting re-recording and ruining The Police classic of the same name for the soundtrack. I'd like to pretend that never happened. Sure, 30something adult contemporary Sting, you're a "walking nightmare, arsenal of doom"

Lol, I thought that was the case. I distinctly remember a crappy taco bell logo and then it changed more like the one used in this movie.

What's your boggle?!

I love this movie, so much. No one I know ever gets any Demolition Man references. Granted, the movie is slightly obscure, but then again no way it's not - I mean Stallone AND Snipes, in the same movie, in the early 90s?! How did everyone NOT love this movie.

Stallone's character being rehabilitated into a master of arts & crafts/embroidery/needlepoint was hilarious. Seeing him wrap that knitting thread around those massive pipes he calls arms was priceless. Then we get these gems:

Lenina Huxley: Look at you, you're a shambles!
John Spartan: Don't worry, I can fix it. All I need is a needle and thread.
[pause]
John Spartan: I really didn't say that, did I? Damn!

That rat burger looked like the best thing ever. Just looking at Spartan enjoying it with a beer... definitely worth a Rolex.

It really did look amazing. Even if it was a standard frozen JTM/Generic burger, on a generic bun, something about it looked outstanding. If it weren't for my unhealthy love for Taco Bell, I'd eat burgers after/during my next watch of DM. But Taco Bell will undoubtedly win.

 

[Sir_Crocodile]

Incredible movie. don't make them like this anymore.

weird to see Sir Nigel Hawthorne in a role like this though lol

Is there an answer to this question? Anywhere?

someone told me two were used to scoop out and the third for scraping

 

[Nokterian]

That is a high quality gif! I love this movie so damn cheesy but the one liners are so damn good.

"He doesn't know how to use the 3 shells?"

Also Sandra Bullock in this..oh my.

 

[Nerdkiller]

Also I watched it in Europe so my version had Pizza Hut instead of Taco Bell.

I never knew this!

It no longer seems to be the case, though. The Taco Bell version is on my UK BD.

 

[Sir_Crocodile]

uk one was ALWAYS taco bell as far as I know

confused the hell out of me in the nineties

 

[John Bender]

One of the best movies ever.
John Spartan and Simon Phoenix! Seriously? Two of the best characters in movie history!!!

Is there an answer to this question? Anywhere?

Here you go, buddy:

 

[uncredited male]

Mellow greetings citizen. What seems to be your boggle?

 

[OneEightZero]

Could you imagine this shot in pan and scan?

 

[Daniel Jackson]

One of my favorite action movies as well, I love it.

 

[Currygan]

found it really bad. I remember the debate about Stallone's fake penis or not

 

[Sephzilla]

That is a high quality gif! I love this movie so damn cheesy but the one liners are so damn good.

"He doesn't know how to use the 3 shells?"

Also Sandra Bullock in this..oh my.

Whomever made the decision to put Sandra Bullock in spandex pants the entire movie deserves a medal.

 

[ElTopo]

One of the greatest action flicks set in the future. One of Stallone's best action films. And easily one of the best 90's action movies but it doesn't really feel dated.

Also, the Seashells are buttons like a bidet.

 

[Kain]

I opened a thread like this one not so long ago, smh.

Anyway, mellow greetings citizen, what seems to be your boggle?

 

[Bold One]

Wesley Snipes was having the time of his life in this film, seriously....

 

[HabeeNo]

Top 3 Stallone movie, used to watch it with my grandpa (big Stallone fan) all the time when I was younger

 

[VeryGooster]

I just started to listen to How Did This Get Made, and it's a great podcast. This one was hilarious especially when Jason brings up that (speculation spoilers!)

Spoiler

Huxley is John Spartan's daughter.

When they discussed that, I was cracking up.

I love that part of that podcast and I 100% agree.

 

[inm8num2]

Demolition Man has the best one-liner ever.

"You're on tv!"

 

[Guy.brush]

It's a shame the director Marco Brambilla stopped doing movies after this and only one other movie. He went back to video and art installations after complaining about lack of personal expression in Hollywood.
You could definitely sense the European artsy touch in Demolition Man, similar to Fifth Element by Luc Besson.

 

[blackjaw]

Love this movie, it has that 90's style that I really miss.

Also, that chick calling on Skype shirtless....predicted the future yet again!

 

[shattyboombatty]

This movie is one of my favorites! Here's me in front of the SanAngeles police dept

 

[The Dutch Slayer]

Now go watch the NC review its pretty great

This movie is one of my favorites! Here's me in front of the SanAngeles police dept

what is that building, actually?

 

[shattyboombatty]

what is that building, actually?

Just some corporate office in Thousand Oaks, ca. It's near where I grew up, which blew my mind when I eventually saw it.

Such an awesome movie. Snipes and Stallone were brilliant.

The IMDB page Trivia has a quote from Sly about it, which lines up with the infographic posted earlier

 

[Trojan X]

One of the best movies ever.
John Spartan and Simon Phoenix! Seriously? Two of the best characters in movie history!!!



Here you go, buddy:

omg........ I had to ask. lol!

 

[Dennis]

"Lets go blow this guy!"

 

[Sojgat]

"Lets go blow this guy!"

 

[MisterHero]

Freakin' A!

 

[Carnby]

"...call The Cobra."

Best Christmas movie. Die Hard can eat shit.

 

[Jezbollah]

It no longer seems to be the case, though. The Taco Bell version is on my UK BD.

I saw Demolition Man in the cinema when it came out in the UK

it was Taco Bell then.

 

[Matty77]

Here you go, buddy:

I have seen that graphic somewhere before but do not know the source, was it official from the movies somehow?

 

[IAmRandom31]

Looking at the world now and how it is going, this movie will be looked at as prophetic. Making anything not good for you illegal, everything being touch based and self driving cars and all that. Weapons being illegal. Getting " points " deducted for foul language and other " crimes "

Think the only thing from the movie that won't appear is the cryogenic prison stuff.

Fantastic movie though.

 

[Yamauchi]

Yeah, Demolition Man is an incredible film. It does so many things right it's kind of staggering. And damn, that rat burger looked good:

 

[Daffy Duck]

Fantastic film. Watched it the other day, so good.

I'm a blast from the past.

 

[Gonzalez]

You think Oscar is a better Stallone movie than Demolition Man?

That's just crazy.

What can I say? I enjoy Vaudeville humor.

 

[industrian]

One of the best action movies of the 90s. Snipes and Stallone were perfect in this.

uk one was ALWAYS taco bell as far as I know

confused the hell out of me in the nineties

Yup.

I didn't know what Taco Bell was until I got onto the Internet in 1999.

 

[Kain]

In Spain it was Pizza hut and the logos were changed and all, so it made sense (PH was somewhat a thing here in the 90s, now it's gone of course).

Then I watched the BR with the original audio and it was weird as fuck because it was clearly re-recorded by the actors and the voice didn't match the mouths.

 

[Mighty Chin]

You think Oscar is a better Stallone movie than Demolition Man?

That's just crazy.

I enjoyed Oscar.

 

[ChazAshley]

There's actually a taco bell nearby that recently got renovated. Here it is at night - I couldn't help but think of this movie when I saw this.

Spoiler

Unfortunately my wife didn't get reference

 

[Sojgat]

I enjoyed Oscar.

Oscar is fine, but Demolition Man is a classic, and Cobra is, in all likelihood, the greatest piece of cinema mankind will ever produce.
