Stallone's Dredd was absolutely perfect, right up to the point where he removed his helmet. After that, it was just another Stallone action movie. Urban's voice was appropriate, AND he kept his lid on!
90s municipal code 213: willful use of one liners, that's 2 years Code 310: Possession of campy attitude, 5 years! Code 457: Resisting source material, 20 years! And Code 3613: First Degree guilty pleasure. Death! Court's Adjoured!
@@icecoldpolitics8890 lol I know what you mean. Autocorrect can be a real pain in the ass. I've had those times when I would type "Dredd" when looking for some Judge Dredd stuff (like wallpapers) and the damn autocorrect would change "Dredd" to "Dress". lol I hate that shit!
Dredd never took the helmet off the whole time, and that is one thing I appreciate immensely in the remake Dredd movie. Any time an actor has to wear a mask for their role they ALWAYS take it off about half the damn time in the movie, no doubt because they want to make sure we all see their face rather than just assume the role they're supposed to be playing. Props to Karl Urban for that in the remake. As much as i like Sly Stallone, just wish he didn't remove the helmet in this Dredd movie.
@@santiagofranco91952 That's the whole point of Karl Urban's character. He's not supposed to show you his face just like in the comics and also said he would not have agreed to star in Dredd 3D if he had been asked to remove his helmet (A mistake Sly Stallone Made in the first place) seeing as he's been a Judge Dredd fan as long as he can remember.
People get irritated about the parts after he has to take off the helmet, which I think is fair. And also the scoring doesn't really fit the dark, dystopic tone of the Judge Dredd universe, though I do like the movie's ending song.
It might not have been extremely true to the source material, but it was still fun, and the outfits were more on model than in the more serious "Dredd".
This was the 1st rated R movie I ever snuck into a theater to see. It blew my mind as a 9 year old kid. Still a favorite, if flawed, movie... LOVED the remake
people will always comment "it's a shame the rest of the movie is garbage" until they realize that the entire movie is full of these super watchable super quotable iconic scenes it IS possible for there to be two great judge dredd movies in totally different ways
Same thing with Batman. You can have the darker, more brooding versions of Batman along with the cheesy versions like Adam West, Batman Brave and the Bold, and Val Kilmer side-by-side. Yes, I like Batman Forever. Entertainment is what matters in a movie.
Ross Childs in a place where willful destruction of property is just 2 years and resisting arrest is 20 years. You know he will get death penalty just by talking back to the judge.
Well honestly I thought the Karl urban Dredd uniform was a bit more grounded in reality. This film took them right from the comic which was kinda impractical. But in Dredd I could see police wearing that much armor if things don’t improve soon
I assume that 'Grenade' is this movie's answer to the comic Dredd's (and Dredd 2012's) Hi-Ex (High Explosive) function on their Lawgivers? (And this is just for personal satisfaction, but don't the comic Lawgivers *explode*, like Anderson's did in Dredd 2012, when they register an unauthorized user, instead of just fatally tasing them?)
Producers and Sly wanted a PG-13. The director, Danny Cannon, (who is an AD 2000/Dredd fan) wanted them to explode but the producers won so they tased rather than blow up.
Maybe the Lawgiver does explode. When Ricco reaches for his Lawgiver the pawnshop owner, not knowing Ricco's a Judge, very clearly tells Ricco it would take his arm off. So maybe it's a setting and the Judge may choose yo have their Lawgiver either explode or fatally elrctrocute the perp.
@@richardjackson9584 2012 Dredd is prety much THIS for 2 hours,shame it looked crappy/too realistic and gritty and not as futuristic , but it was a good film. i iwhs Karl Urbans Meagcity was like the stalone film tho
There's a picture from 1988 with Stallone wearing a Judge Dredd t-shirt. I remember hearing talks about the film being made back then, too. I take it he was definitely a fan of the comic book. Unfortunately, though, the film wasn't as I hoped it would be..
This movie wasn't so bad. Sure, Karl urban was the better dredd hands down. But this one was at least entertaining. "I never broke the law! I am the law!"
i still prefer this version, sly being the only problem with his behaviour and the helmet-off things, still it represent the weird, distorted, silly and over the top world of the actual comic,. more than the generic action/crime movie with urban, who did a better dredd.Seems that the lead it's the movie high or low point.
“How cheesy are these lines that my character says? No, wait. Just think of the big pile of money that I’ll be sleeping on. Keep going and I’ll release some endorphins.”
Personally him removing his helmet didnt make much of inpact, but more gave it more oomph because he got falsely arrested and he fights for his helmet back, HE GETS HIS FUCKING HELMET IN THE END, All that fighting and he returns to field of duty, thats Dredd, thats what i see in the movie. going through the hardships of what its like to be falsely accused.. finally redeeming for who you were rightfully known for.
The Dredd/Batman crossovers were awesome. Never read the crossovers with Aliens or Predator. I love "Judgment On Gotham" because of Judge Death (my favorite Dark Judge) and I thought Scarface's diologue in "Vendetta In Gotham" were pretty funny.
+Marcus T In the Judge Dredd comics, common curse words as we know them today have been banned and carry fines/jail time for their use. In their place, people created new "legal" swear words.
I have a soft spot for this movie. Yea the 2012 movie is much superior in most aspect, but I loved the campiness and the world building in this one. Stallone could have been a decent Dredd had he just left the helmet on.
It’s not that he took the helmet off the point of 2000 AD is your not supposed to see Dredd’s face. The idea is Dredd is the faceless incarnation of justice and he could be anyone under that helmet
I got nothing against Stallone this film is a guilty pleasure for any movie nut, But Karl Urban's Dredd is flawless and fits in more with today's society.
We know the urban one had better acting but I prefer the set design of this mega city much more. If they could combine the two (urban as judge, good story with this set design) THEN you got the perfect dredd film
Sly will forever be the best Dredd. You can’t beat the way he looks in the judges outfit and his voice with his oversized ego. If this movie was made similar to the comic but with the same set pieces. This would have been the ultimate judge Dredd movie. This had to much comedy and one liners.
I wish he played the Punisher instead of all of the other actors, he was the perfect person for it when he was young. They should have made the movie back then.
Dredd : armor piercing, with Subsonic hollow point and thermite charge. Lawgiver : You have to say "ok Google". Dredd : drokk this shit. Just give me a glock, please. And a aspirin...
Even though this is fiction: I wouldn’t be surprised if law enforcement turned into something like this in 20-30 years. “We’re having court on the street.”
Please tell me the purpose of the Judge's body armour in this movie, if, there's a large section at the front of the chest left exposed; as per what the rookie discovered in this clip at 0.56. Karl Urban's 'biker' Judge outfit is far more practical; something that wouldn't look out of place today on riot cops or SWAT police. The 2000AD comics had this sort of feature in Dredd's costume as well; which is why Stallone's outfit is a little closer homage to the original source material than Karl Urban's. However, the Stallone movie made the cardinal mistake of removing Dredd's helmet for the sake of the movie. This clip is by far the best part of the Stallone movie.
