Don't listen to the negative reviews

a film so unique, intoxicating and bizarre that it not only demands another viewing, but is also forgivable as a satirical comedy where the jokes eventually take the back seat.

The movie's neither hopeful in contrived ways, nor hopeless in different contrived ways. Somehow it manages to be wonderful

In 1996, a terrorist named Simon Phoenix (Wesley Snipes) has been causing mayhem in L.A. until a renegade police officer named John Spartan (Slyvester Stallone) captures him but Spartan is framed for a crime he didn't commit during duty as both are convicted and suspended in cyrogenetic freezing suspension animation for a long time as Spartan has been sentenced for a long time, in the year 2032 36 years later, Los Angeles has changed into San Angeles which is a fusion of San Diego, Santa Barbara and Los Angeles is now ran by Dr Raymond Cocteau (Nigel Hathrowne) with his associate Bob (Glen Shaddix). The City has become a peaceful brainwashed loving society of people where things like chocolate/meat/pregnancy without a license/bad language (there's even machines where people are fine credits instead of money for using a swear word in public or anywhere)/gasoline and other stuff is banned and Taco Bell becomes the main restaurant for the city as it owns other restaurants. Simon has been unfrozen as he is on the loosing robbing and murdering others even stealing guns from a museum of violence. Chief George Earl (Bob Gunton from Shawshank Redemption) has worried about this as the police don't know how to handle this kind of violence which the cops have become non-violent, Lt. Lenina Huxley (Sandra Bullock) who is nostalgic about the 20th century along with Zachery Lamb (Bill Cops) whom he was once a pilot for Spartan comes up with an idea to thaw out Spartan from his suspended animation slumber then thaw him out to help take care of this maniac. Spartan has awaken to find everything is different as he is trying to adjust to this new life he has now, there's also a radical group of rebels who live in an underground city called the Scraps lead by Edgar Friendly (Denise Leary) who believes in freedom of choice/speech as he wants to take down Cocteau once and for all but there is also something behind Cocteau unlike the citizens of San Angeles thinks he is.A very entertaining, well paced, action packed and fun Science Fiction action satire that is basically like the story of Brave New World with a hint of Blade Runner and Orwell's 1984 with a satire on what would it be like if the future went politically correct and if Taco Bell owned every restaurant. Originally Jean Claude Van-Demme and Jackie Chan were considered for the role of Simon Phoenix but the role went to Wesley Snipes, which i am very happy he took the role and this is my second fave role of his after Blade and nice to see him play a bad guy than a good guy like usual. Simon Phoenix with his dyed yellow hair and 90s jumpsuit reminds me of Duke Nukem only black and has mismatched colored eyes one blue and one hazel which was used by contact lenses. Stallone is fantastic as John Spartan whom is one of the most badass sci-fi characters around who is trying to fit in this watered down PCed society where real music is gone only underground when commercials are used for music even TV show themes are used for music plus when Cocteau thinks his Utopia is paradise and heaven when it's actually more like hell if you ask me. There's also a thing where people use 3 seashells instead of toilet paper, look online to see how the 3 seashells work.The movie is still relevant with the way things are going nowadays in the SJW/PC culture and is almost like a warning and statement. Plus the action is bold and thrilling, the future is well designed even the costumes and nice use of some practical effects with some interesting ideas/satire thrown in even about a commercialized future going PC and the dangers of it when freedom is needed. A must see.

In the ideal 21th century utopia society of the future, an old fashioned criminal, Simon Phoenix from the violent 1990s (Wesley Snipes) was released from cryo-prison, and start reigning havoc on the peaceful, yet simple-minded citizens of San Angeles. Unable to stop the bloodshed, the police force of San Angeles defrosts ex-cop, John Spartan (Sylvester Stallone) to stop him. Can John Spartan adapt to the changing times, and lay down the law on Phoenix before it's too late or will Phoenix lay San Angeles in ruins with his chaotic ways? Watch the movie to find out! Without spoiling the film directed by Marco Brambilla, too much, while, this trailer might seem like a dumb action movie dick flick. In truth, it was much smarter than it seems. After all, it was supposedly deeply influence by two great novels: author Aldous Huxley's dystopian novel, 'Brave New World' & author Kurt Vonnegut's book 'Cat Cradle' that it influence the naming of characters & visuals in this film. While, the movie's story is nowhere as good as those novels. It did told a wonderful satire fish out of water story about what would happen, if PC culture was to run unchecked & anything that seem bad for you is illegal. It made for an interesting watch, even if, Hungarian science fiction writer István Nemere says that movie plagiarism, his novel, 1986's 'Fight of the Dead'; which it could had. Although, the exposition on why John Spartan is sentence for cryo-prison still doesn't any sense; seeing how Phoenix is the one that did the crime. Still, most of the jokes about the clash of culture between Spartan and the folks of San Angeles, throughout the film, landed for me. I love the running gags throughout the film, such as the three seashells or the Verbal Morality Statute machine. Because of this, it made for a lot funnier satire version of the future than 2006's 'Idiocracy'. However, I don't think, the film did a good job at satirical, the machismo action film genre that well. For a film that call 'Demolition Man', you would think, that movie would be, full of over the top explosions. Yet, surprising, the movie rarely used it, besides the beginning. Also, most of the action, throughout the film is pretty grounded with reality in Sci-Fi settling. It wasn't that silly. At parts, it was kinda intense, like the car chase or the battle at the cryo lab. I think, the problem with the movie, came from the fact that 'Demolition Man' doesn't mock any of its tropes. If anything, it seem to me, that mocking part of the story seem abandoned after Spartan is frozen. Don't get me wrong, the rest of the film is still full of 1990s action movie's clichés, such as the angry police chief, villains having lousy aim, saving the world rewards you, a love-interest, and the main character fighting the main villain, alone without much help, however, none of them, seem that, much like satire. I never got the idea, that it was mocking itself, like other Sci-Fi action movies, were, like 1997's 'Starship Troopers'. The same, goes with the odd choice of produce placement, the film was going for. It seems like they were trying to mock, the idea that a fast food place like Taco Bell/Pizza Hut, would be the only remaining restaurant in the world. However, in my opinion, they didn't really delivered on the joke. Instead, the blatant insert of Taco Bell/Pizza Hut, felt jarring and out of place; comparing to what we know, of the world. After all, isn't spicy food, meat, and caffeine, illegal in the future!? So, how in the hell, did Taco Bell/Pizza Hut won the franchise wars? If anything, Subway or Panera Beard, should be, the main restaurant, everybody goes to. However, that wasn't the only thing, wrong about this film. Despite the wonderful visuals and costumes, I also had a hard time, believing the timeline. The movie was made in 1993. So, we're expected to believe that in three years, crime has gone totally to hell in LA, and then go pacifism after the 36 years, time different. It seem a bit out there, even if there was a nuclear war; my bad, 'great earthquake' in 2010. It took 'Star Trek', 100 years to create a near-like utopia. Even with that, they still knew about weapons and violence. It's a bit weird to see the older members of San Angeles society, not know much of Spartan's ways of getting things done; when in truth, they also lived through, most of it. Are they really that ignorant to violence? After all, they seem to know, a lot, when indoctrinating Phoenix's rehab program. It makes no sense. Despite that, Snipes was great in the action scenes. While, Snipes's martial arts kinda look slow and awkward in some scenes. In truth, it was because his kicks and punches were so fast that they blurred on camera. Hence, why the producers asked him to slow them down. Snipes was also great in acting. He really did seem like a maniac. He had some of the best one-liners. Stallone was also wonderful, both physically and verbally even if some of his lines were slurred. A young and gorgeous Sandra Bullock as Lenina Huxley was also great, as she was really charming. Even Denis Leary as himself as Edgar Friendly was fine. I had no problems with most of the acting, in this film, even if most of the actors didn't get along with each other, backstage. However, I did find the unneeded nudity from Penthouse model, Brandy Ledford, a bit, out of place. It really didn't add anything to the plot. She could had been cut, along with the others minor scenes that editor, Stuart Baird, greatly took away. Overall: 'Demolition Man' is a blast. Like Simon, I say, go check it out! Anybody that says, otherwise, can wipe the crap from their mouths with the three seashells.

Demolition Man is a great movie to just pop in and unplug from the world. This movie in my opinion has a great mixture of action and comedy, sprinkled with some Sci-Fi. If you are unfamiliar with Demotion Man the summary of this movie is as follows; Demolition Man is a 1993 American science fiction action film directed by Marco Brambilla his directorial debut, and starring Sylvester Stallone and Wesley Snipes.Stallone is perfect in his role as the tough 'old fashioned' cop who is released from Cryosleep to help the new SAPD. A blonde Wesly Snipes is also brilliant in his role as the heartless criminal Simon Phoenix who starts a meaningless rampage through the city. Originally Stallone wanted Jackie Chan to play this role, however he turned it down as he did not like playing bad guys.However both stars work very well together, producing some very exciting fight scenes, Snipes being a black belt, and Stallone's experience from the Rocky films helping them. In fact Wesley Snipes was so fast on camera that the producers had to ask him to slow down as he was too much of a blurr. Of course, lets not forget Sandra Bullock who replaced Lori Petty after a few days filming, and is very well suited to her role as Lenina Huxley, and helped to bring that vital mixture of comedy into the film with her studies of the past. Both her and Stallone work well on-screen together with the scene in her apartment being a great laugh.Overall rating: 7 out of 10.

The opening scene feels like a typical late 1980s/early 1990s action sequence. At least until we realize that there's not going to be a happy ending for the hostages that Spartan is trying to save. Once we arrive at the future, a lot of viewers might misjudge the performances of the principal cast besides Stallone and Snipes. Sandra Bullock, as Lieutenant Lenina Huxley (a reference to Aldous Huxley's book Brave New World)at first seem to be turning in bizarrely incompetent performances. It's only later that we realize they are spot on for the film's "brave new world", which is basically an imitation of a staunchly moralist cult run by Dr. Raymond Cocteau (a reference to famed director Jean Cocteau combined with Cocteau's friend, novelist Raymond Radiguet). This is almost a spin on if the world turned into a very soft world and excuses world.Demolition Man is one of the funniest, most action-packed and most poignant social satires of at least the last 30 years. It's not necessarily the easiest film to appreciate, as it makes its points through extremely over-the-top "mindless" action and tongue-in- cheek, purposefully cheesy plot and dialogue, but it's well worth trying to acclimate oneself to the style if you're not an action or sci-fi fan, as the satire cuts deep.Stallone does an excellent job as over the top old school police cop in a very soft future. He is pretty great at doing action/ comedy
