Demolition Man | Canadian First Time Watching | Movie Reaction | Movie Review | Movie Commentary 

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.

The Instruction Manual for the 3 Seashells is in the briefcase from Pulp Fiction.

"You can't take away people's right to be assholes." I love that line!

The little kid being carried during the news interview. Best line in the whole movie.

I think this is the movie that introduced a lot of us to the cuteness that is Sandra Bullock

This movie is a reference to Aldous Huxley's "Brave New World." The book had a lead character "John the Savage." The movie has "John Spartan." The book had the heroine Lenina Crowne. The movie has Lenina Huxley (same last name as the book's author). At some point in the movie, Wesley Snipes even says, "It's a brave new world." Some day schools will teach the classics, history, and stuff like that again.

For a movie made in 1993, this movie actually has a lot of our technology accurately predicted. Face Time chat, video conferencing, electric cars, self-driving cars, huge corporate conglomerations (Taco Bell), and several more that I won't mention. Also, the chief of police was the warden in Shawshank Redemption.

My favorite part of this movie is the fact that (nearly) every time someone swears, the little buzzer and fine goes off. Even when it's not addressed, it cracks me up every time.

I thought humanity would figure out the three seashells during the great TP shortage of 2020 😂

The seashells are purposefully unexplained as a joke. One of the writers asked his girlfriend to tell him the first thing she saw in her bathroom and she said a bag of decorative seashells and that's how it ended up in the movie. Stallone tried to explain it once, but the explanation was gross and debunked years later.

You should definitely add the Blade series to your list. More Wesley Snipes goodness.

Fun facts! Sandra Bullock's character is named Lenina Huxley. The society depicted in Demolition Man is heavily influenced by the dystopian world described by British author Aldous Huxley in the novel entitled Brave New World, after a quote from Shakespeare. One of Huxley's main characters is also named Lenina.

Demolition Man and Idiocracy are two movies that age better the more time goes by.

Great reaction. I recommend True Lies (1994). Its a great Arnold movie.

I remember reading stories about how the actual frozen Stallone prop was displayed at a Planet Hollywood restaurant and how uncomfortable people felt eating near it.

We saw this in theaters, and to this day the magic of the future still eludes the finest minds of every continent: the three shells........ And Denis Leary is brilliant in this: he plays himself, basically, just under different circumstances. His "rants" are what made him famous, and his ability to think on his feet so quickly is a rare commodity.

Such a a fun ass movie, everyone's having a blast, doesn't take itself too seriously but also surprisingly smart and prescient.

This movie is a great beginners example of the Future Shock Sci-Fi genre. Stallone serves as the audience surrogate as they don't really explain much, you just get bombarded with the differences. The Three Seashells and the Franchise Wars are both prime examples.

This movie is still relevant. On so many levels. It's wild

The fact that Taco Bell would win the Franchise Wars is the most unbelievable part of this movie.

I'd love for them to react to Last Action Hero - underrated gem both embodying and spoofing all the 90s weirdness.

Everyone has a different point at which this future become unacceptable to them, but I've never seen anyone make it past "no spicy food".

I Completely lost it when Simone went, ‘SCRAPE??!’ 😂

That death is the best foreshadowing payoff ever. Remember Phoenix said "Id lose my head if it wasn't attached", and John says "I'll remember that"

Simone's "ad voice" would fit really well in a Fallout game.

One of my favourite scenes (not shown here) is when Spartan knits Huxley a sweater to apologise, and she reveals why he did that. So funny! 😃

One of the fun things about this movie: When they released it overseas, they turned Taco Bell into Pizza Hut. They even changed the logos to be Pizza Hut.

Can we all take a moment and give cinebinge some love for their thumbnails? I never fail to lol at their choice of imagery.

Ever since the first time I've seen this movie I've imagined The Franchise Wars as being actual wars with employees of different franchises fighting each other.

Yes, Simon Phoenix is such an amazing villain!

Dennis Leary, who played Edgar Friendly, did a stand up comedy act in the 90's that sounded very much like his character's diatribe about society.

If you loved this movie you absolutely must watch "Last Action Hero". It's a masterpiece of action movies.

I love how far off your thoughts on what the plot or characters are on a lot of these movies. Seriously, you two are just a delight to watch and listen to. Keep up the good work.

Copland is one of Stallone's best ever films and best ever performances. Plus De Nero, Ray Liotta, and Harvey Keitel.

9:21 The build-up to my favourite F-bomb of all time. Actually, it's not just an F-bomb; it's pretty much the definition of the TV-tropes "Precision F-Strike". It's just so damn perfect! 😆

Snipes was just great in this era. He was coming off of White Men Can't Jump here, which is one of my top ten movies. Undeniable charisma.

This is one of my favorite movies. The casting director deserves all the awards because everyone is perfect.

This movie has one of the best scripts for dialogue-driven humor and the action is top-notch, as well. This was my favorite movie as a child and really holds up in both the action and sci-fi genres after nearly 30 years.

Wesley Snipes, the movie where we found out he was a martial artist. ONWARD TO BLADE!

One of the most underrated films of all time, and Wesley Snipes as Simon Phoenix is one of the best villains of all time. Sidenote: I had to explain the non-contact high fives to my younger work colleagues during the pandemic when ‘social distancing’ was a thing.

Edgar Friendly's speech about wanting to eat meat, high cholesterol, and reading dirty magazines and all that, is a speech that touches every guy directly into the soul.

This movie and the satire of sensitiveness were ahead of it's time... Not to mention Stallone and Snipes were badasses in it. :)

Love the fact Simon Phoenix has the line "I'd lose my head if it wasn't attached" in the opening scene. Great piece of foreshadowing.

Wesley Snipes was excellent as the villain in "New Jack City." It is a classic urban crime drama, and arguably his most notable role outside of "White Men Can't Jump" alongside Woody Harrelson.

Whoever wrote and produced this movie is an oracle. Good Stallone movie (with Kurt Russell) is Tango and Cash.

Please watch "The Neverending Story"!

I liked the inclusion of Nigel Hawthorn as Cocteau. He was Sir Humphrey Appleby in the BBC series "Yes, Minister" and "Yes, Prime Minister". Amazing actor.

“Now all restaurants are Taco Bell” One of the most creative product placements ever…

If you're looking for another Wesley Snipes movie, check out White Men Can't Jump or Money Train. Wesley and Woody Harrellson make for a great pairing.

12:18 ooooooh boy wait until you see a specific scene in Last Action Hero Fun fact, Taco Bell only paid to have their name and logo used in the US for this movie. In most of the world it doesn't exist now and even less back then, so they had to rerecord lines with the words "Pizza Hut" for most countries.

Re. 14:16, a "licking" can already mean a beating, so it kind of makes sense...

I think the brilliance of this movie is in the small details, like how the bad word alarm just keeps going off in the background or how subtly Bob just betrays his current superior.

Great reaction!! Here are some great Wesley Snipes movies that you will enjoy: Passenger 57 - 1992, Drop Zone - 1994, The Fan - 1996, Murder At 1600 - 1997, The Art Of War - 2000, Blade Trilogy (1998, 2002 & 2004).

Wesley Snipes was brilliant in this movie. This movie is commonly referred to as one of the best examples of the excesses of political correctness.

One of the best 90s action movies. Great casting especially Wesley Snipes.

I'm not much of a Stallone fan, generally, but I did like the comedy "Oscar" and the action film "Assassins."

From the beginning, look at the shear number of things in this movie that either have or are starting to become true. Arnold wasn't governor yet by the time this movie was released. But in the movie he became governor then president. Self-driving cars. The general softening of society as we become more insulated by technology. The doctor basically having a meeting in his house via skype. etc.

You guys should cover Cliffhanger. That’s another great Stallone vehicle where there are a bunch of memorable scenes and bits of dialogue.

CineBinge - the 3 sea shells are in fact , controls . one is for Water jet , like a bidet . one is for Flush . one is for AIR Dryer.

The 3 sea shells is one of the great unsolved mysteries in cinematic history.

This movie was supposed to be a parody, not a documentary.

In the script, and maybe they filmed it and became a deleted scene, it was revealed that John Spartan's daughter is alive and is living among the people in the sewers.

Phoenix said "I'd lose my head, if it wasn't attached!" He was so right. -You do yourself over with the first seashell, then you use the second seashell, to see if you need to use the *third* seashell. Fun fact: the beaded dress Sandra Bullock wore was damaged during filming. Afterwards, Stallone bought it and gave it to Sandra.

I had always assumed that the "franchise wars" was simply something like the real-life "cola wars" which we had in the 80s.: That it just refers to a period of intense competition.

I was in my early teens when this movie was released, and trust me: Ever since 1993 the entire world wonders how thos seashells work. If someone figured it out, they never bothered to share their knowledge.

"Taco Bell was the only restaurant that survived The Franchise wars" That's an action movie I would watch.

The 3 seashells are basically bidet controls. Wash, rinse, dry. No need for toilet paper.

You guys are finally getting 90s movies in Canada. Enjoy! The 90s had some batshit action films. Just wait till you guys get to the aughts.

This movie depicts one of the darkest, most disturbing visions of the future ever postulated by a film. I mean, think about it: sex and junk food are illegal, the radio plays commercial jingles all day long, and all the restaurants are Taco Bell. I'd want to go back in the freezer, too.

White Men Can't Jump is another cool Wesley Snipes film. BTW, that is one of the best Squarespace ads I have ever seen 😉.

I was 18 when this came out and remember seeing it in the theater, man this movie was epic 👌

CinaBinge - Jessie Ventura is an Actor (Running Man, Predator), also Weight Lifter, Athelite, PRO Wrestler and Govenor

Judge Dredd. Another over the top futuristic sci fi action film with Stallone.

I love this movie! Mellow greetings, what seems to be your boggle? Fun fact, there are 2 versions of this movie. One with taco bell and another with pizza hut.

This, and the Last Action Hero, are vastly underrated meta action comedies. If you want to see Stallone's best acting, try Cop Land. It's nuanced in a way you wouldn't ever expect.

I recommend the "Expendables" franchise for more Stallone, and Wesley Snipes is in "Expendables 3" too. I'd be interested in seeing someone react to Stallone in "Cobra" (1986) because, even though I'm a Stallone fan, the movie fell kind of flat for me, but maybe the problem is just me, not the movie. Some Wesley Snipes movies that I like very much that seem to have been overlooked by reaction channels and their Patreon voters are (in order of how much I want to see a reaction to): To Wong Foo, Thanks For Everything! Julie Newmar (1995) Passenger 57 (1992) New Jack City (1991) White Men Can't Jump (1992) The Water Dance (1992) U.S. Marshals (1998) The Art Of War (2000)

- This is one of my favorite underrated 90s movies. Just a great blend of comedy, writing, and a Sandy B. just on the precipice of making it big in SPEED. Delightful! - The three seashells are still debated to this day, I think. And no, I don't think they're just for "scooping" either. I actually wish to believe that they work kind of like the sonic showers in Star Trek, where they somehow break down the matter. But who knows! --- When CoViD first hit, I kinda imagined all of us going to the kind of handshake they do in this movie 😄 - One of the two movies with Stallone & Rob Schneider... AND one of the two movies with Bullock & Benjamin Bratt (the stupid cop) - LOVE the verbal morality machine jokes, and how you can hear them in the background going off - This movie DID need to be set farther in the future; I try not to think about how unrealistic it would be for the ENTIRE world to "break good" like this in such a short timespan. - I'm usually not a fan of blatant product placement, but I LOVE the Taco Bell bit, if only because, especially given how the Disney Corp. has gobbled up other companies in the past 15 years, and how there are plenty of combined Taco Bell / Pizza Hut / KFCs already, this actually seemed like something that could happen. - Wesley Snipes is so enjoyable because he took a page from the GOOD 90s villain playbook... like Hans Gruber (DIE HARD) & Clarence Boedecker (ROBOCOP), Phoenix was having fun! - Speaking of, I don't think PASSENGER 57 gets enough love. You may want to react to that, along with NEW JACK CITY, WHITE MEN CAN'T JUMP, & all the BLADE movies, just to name a few.

For Stallone I reccomend Oscar. For Wesley Snipes only Blade movies comes into my mind, but I would say they are okay movies but not that great. But the first blade movie has an epic opening scene, at least I think that is the best part.

Wesley Snipes had a great role in the movie "MAJOR LEAGUE", one of my favorite movies. But he had many more great movies as well (BLADE is one example)

Some great moments in this movie: - When Stallone jumps out of the helicopter in 1996 to find Phoenix, he yells "PHOENIX!" as he falls to the ground. - In 1996, when Stallone is frozen, it's done by Assistant Warden Smithers. In 2032, when Phoenix is unfrozen for his parole, it's done by Warden Smithers. - Phoenix tells Spartan that he'd forget his head if it wasn't attached. In the climax Spartan freezes Phoenix and then kicks his head off of his body. - Jack Black is in this movie! He is one of Edgar Friendly's people - he's next to him when Spartan is talking to Friendly when he goes underground. - Rob Schneider chatted with Sandra Bullock during the filming, and Bullock told him about her next movie, and he said that a movie about a bus was a stupid idea. That movie was (obviously) Speed.

I'd give anything to see you guys react to 1994's Judge Dredd starring Stallone and Rob Schneider, you know, because those 2 totally go together! It's my guilty pleasure 90's action flick. Maximum cheese, totally ridiculous, immeasurably over the top! 😂

This was such a *smart* movie, which obviously was not the norm for '90s action flicks. They absolutely nailed the casting on the four primary characters (Stallone, Snipes, Bullock, and Leary), a good deal of thought went into creating this world, and the end result was just so memorable...the three seashells thing still exists as a meme to this day. White Men Can't Jump is another really good but lesser-known Wesley Snipes film, co-starring Woody Harrelson and Rosie Perez. New Jack City is a spectacular, but much more serious, Snipes film as well, with an excellent ensemble cast around him. And of course the iconic Blade series.

Legend has it John Spartan Service weapon still has infinite ammo.... I need to buy me one of those m9 beretta's I'm sure he never ran out of ammo via the entire movie.

*How the 3 seashells worked:* There was a interview with Sylvester Stallone like 15ish years ago where he said "The writer told me how they worked. You hold two seashells like chopsticks and pull. Than you gently scrape what’s left with the third.

I was reading "Brave New World" by Aldus Huxley and it heavily reminded me of this film. Then I read somewhere that this was originally supposed to be a screen treatment for the book. By the time it was shopped around it was rewritten into Demolition Man. Hence some of the same character names, phrases, etc (even "Huxley" as a character after the author)

I vote for Cinebinge React for most creative sponsor break what a depressing future that would be. Sandra Bullock must have had a blast with that script there must be an Hilarious blooper reel. Snipes in blade

At 23.29 Bullock said she learned to kick like that from Jackie Chan movies. This movie was released before Rumble in the Bronx so most Americans had never heard of Jackie Chan. It was a nice little way for Stallone to pay tribute to his fellow action star who was unknown to American audiences

Ah the Chief is the Warden from Shawshank. I knew I recognized him (sans hair) and never realized it until now!

its depressing how accurate this movie is to today...

Dystopia back then, really close to reality now.

"That was the coolest thing I've seen in my entire life!" No pun intended, right?

The 3 seashell thing has been referenced a lot. It's even in Cyberpunk 2077 when you go into the bathroom in your apartment.

So I would say the next best Stallone movie in this genre is probably Judge Dredd. Cliffhanger is probably better but it's not a dystopian future.

I remember watching this back in the day I had watched Passenger 57 with Snipes then I rented this and found he is amazing in this the fact they went with comedy in this works great

Snipes in Blade(1998) is still my go to of his, it was the first Marvel film I ever saw too!

One of my favorite movies. It was so underrated in the 90s but speaks volumes today.

Seeing you guys in one shot was nagging on my mind the whole reaction, like something is off... took me to the end of movie to realize what it was xD Thanks for the reaction, glad you loved this fun movie. Spartan vs Phoenix is one of the best matchups in these sort of movies. Especially Wesley Snipes' role as Phoenix was amazing

SO SCARY HOW MUCH OUR FUTURE IS HEADING TOWARDS THE FUTURE IN THIS MOVIE

The first time I saw Sandra Bullock was at the cinema in this movie! We all fell in love.

At the beginning of the movie phoenix says "I swear, I'd lose my head if it wasn't attached" foreshadowing his demise. Fire to start the film and ice to end it.
