Stallone movies you should watch if you haven’t: Cliffhanger(With John Lithgow and Michael Rooker), Demolition Man(with Snipes and Sandra Bullock), Daylight(with Viggo Mortenson), Copland(with Ray Liotta, Harvey Keitel, Robert DeNiro among others)
The original comic is very satirical and intentionally funny. Dredd literally arrest people who got robbed because they dressed too fancily in rough areas. 'Instigating robbery'. The only thing that stops Dredd from being a full-blown fascist is that he is uncorruptable and will judge even the most powerful and important people, and other judges.
He is a full-blown fascist (intentionally so from the beginning), he's just... how to put this... a well-intentioned one? EDIT: And I'm not sure about incorruptible considering his role in the first part of the 'America' story.
they better get karl urban back for a mega city series or a sequel. dredd 3d was like the raid without martial arts. instead they make another fast furious or transformers 😞
I remember seeing this in a theater in the summer of 1995. One of my favorite summers ever. That summer, I got to see Die Hard With A Vengeance, Batman Forever, Under Siege 2, WaterWorld, Braveheart, Species, Ace Ventura: When Nature Calls and Judge Dredd at the movies. Good times.
I do prefer Dredd (2012) But this film nails the comics depiction of Mega City One, the tech, Robots, Vehicles, and the judges while of course putting their own spin on a few designs. Dredd (2012) did lack in this department for budget reasons going for a more near future look filmed in Cape Town. It's also not very satire or wacky at all focusing more on the gritty stuff but the film is still amazing and very true to the character of Dredd going for the style of the earlier comics. But yeah overall I'm not big when people say Judge Dredd (1995) sucks as a whole as the film did have amazing elements that go beyond Dredd (2012). People say Dredd is much closer to the comics but I'd argue visually Judge Dredd is closer to the comics while in character depictions I'd say Dredd is closer along with it's embrace of gore and violence. Combine them both and we'll have something amazing. People who say "Well Dredd is meant to be dark and gritty" clearly have never read the comics, there wacky and outlandish as hell filled with colourful character and wild locations. Texas city has buildings with cowboy hats and massive statues of cowboys lol it's as wild as you can get. So I would love for a mix of both in future Dredd projects. Both films have there pros and cons but I find them both enjoyable.
For me the character of Dredd is portrayed far better by the remake than the Stallone film. The world is a little more well portrayed in the Stallone film but I will say that as wacky as the books can get in setting and rules of the land, the people that populate the world almost always are portrayed in a gritty tone that I think Stallone's film didn't quite get. The people were too hammy in the Stallone film. Like the joke of the books is the world itself is goofy and yet the people play it straight. The Stallone film felt like the actors were in on the joke which made the characters feel in on the joke and inauthentic.
Yes, well said. The comics told all kinds of different stories and were not just dark and gritty which seems to be the go to for people who have only seen the Karl Urban movie. The stories in the comics were totally unpredictable, just like the city and its inhabitants. They could veer from comedy to tragedy sometimes in the same story. For all the criticism the Stallone version gets it manages to capture Mega City One and the madness of it for me. The opening is great.
Rico was an original comic creation from the 70's, and was Dredd's clone brother that was exiled to Titan penal colony. Block wars are fought between two or more blocks. It was (& still is) a very satirical comic. I would thoroughly recommend reading some!
We used to have block wars in Moss Side in the 80s......drug gangs shooting at each other across main highways from one apartment complex to another.......but the police wouldn't turn up until the shooting had stopped.
Haven’t seen this one but I have seen Karl Urbans Dredd which was an amazing film and you should definitely react to it if you haven’t watched it already.
BTW: The actor who played Pa was the late Scott Wilson, who played Herschel in "The Walking Dead" and was in "In Cold Blood", "The Animal" (Along with Rob Schneider), "Dead Man Walking" and "The Exorcist III". I still miss him.
Dredd with Karl Urban is a underrated gem. I think you both with throughly enjoy it. Also you have Lena Headey as the villain is top notch. Long over due for a sequel.
That ABC Robot is the same model as the robot called "Hammerstein" that appears in the 2000ad strip "ABC Warriors" (though the one in that is intelligent and very much a relatable heroic character). Combat robots are called "ABC" because they can function in "Atomic, Biological, Chemical" hazardous areas where human soldiers cannot.
Director Danny Cannon was a huge fan of the comics and had created the world of Judge Dredd perfectly, the look of the Mega City, vehicles, costumes and most of the characters. Unfortunately the director didn't count on the studio picking Stallone as the lead. Since he had 'star power' and hadn't read any of the source material began re writing the script for himself and thus over ruled the director to the point it then became a 'Stallone' movie . Hence the corny dialogue, the direction of the story and worst offence of all.. Showing Dredds face. Had they chosen someone else and allowed Danny Cannon to release his vision of the movie. It would a been a classic and sequels would have followed.
Do you have a source that he's responsible for that level of rewrites? It seems what people want to believe, because it's what fans expect of a lead actor who doesn't care for the source material. Reason I'm skeptical is that they had planned that the original lead (Schwarzenegger) and the villain would wear blue contacts. That was before Stallone was ever involved. So there was clearly already a plan for Dredd to be helmet-less for a significant amount of time. Also, because I haven't seen an actual source before for it. Just people repeating it as fact. It is documented that film was re-edited and cut down by Stallone and the studio to get a PG-13 rating. That is the reason is isn't as dark and satirical as it was written to be. That's not rewriting the script though.
In fact, we have Stallone saying this in an interview in 2006: "For those who are jonesing on the JUDGE DREDD situation, i.e. helmet biz, I never wanted to take my helmet off - that way I wouldn’t have to deal with the pussification of applying make-up everyday - the trauma of looking at life through continually baking baby blue contact lenses. "
I'm feeling a little psychic. I was in my car thinking about my favorite Stallone-era (the early 90s), and this film popped into my head. I started quoting the lines ("Don't miss." "I knew you'd say that.") and then I thought, "I wish a RUclipsr would do a reaction to this." And, lo and behold, by favorite Equalizer-I've-never-met-a-prositute/really?-duo posts the next day. Is this what happiness feels like?? 🤣🤩
This movie was a strange product......it visually stayed true to the comic. But writing wise it was a painful thing to behold.....but still just love it for being a great B action movie of the 80's and 90's. But PLEASE watch the 2012 Dredd!!!! Karl Urban is AMAZING in it and I really would like a sequel exploring the world of Dredd further
I genuinely think this movie could have had it's own universe with the Dark Judges being the villains The effects were there with the Hellraiser series and other horror movies of the time which would have made it special.
I AM THE LAAAWWWW! This movie had some production problems as Steven E DeSoua wanted to make this into a kid friendly PG13 comic book adventure, but producer Andrew Vajna refused, as he wanted this to be dark gritty and violent, calling it "BATMAN 89 Meets BLADE RUNNER." DeSouza quickly disowned the project. Even director Danny Cannon was let out of the editing room by Stallone, whom actually directed the action scenes, cutting out 15 minutes of action Sequences, including a scene where Dredd shoots and kill the Judge Clones. The film wasn't a critical or box office success, making $113 million dollars against a $90 million dollar budget, killing any chance of a franchise. Stallone has no regrets playing the character, as he said in interviews that "it was a fun experience, until the producers git rid of Danny Cannon and hired Stallone as well as another director to finish the film."
What people didn’t like at first was the fact the Stallone took off the helmet , plus you’re right that they wanted another Robocop movie but a better script and if Karl was the main star in this one it might have worked because the reboot was 1000% better and I went to see this in the movies ( yes I’m that old 😂😂)
James Earl Jones' voice cannot be unheard at all. No way they didn't notice. Rob Schneider and Stallone teaming up was one of my fav things I didin't know I needed.
This version of Dredd is ... well, bonkers. As long as you can take NONE of it seriously, it's a good time. There are a few memorable & good moments... and they did capture the LOOK of the comic in a lot of their set pieces and costumes The Karl Urban "Dredd" film is an AMAZING experience and cinematically captures the FEEL of the Judge Dredd comics. That is one of my absolute favorite comic book adaptations to film
I saw it in 96 on video and we saw it as a satire back then. I think Stallones hyper stern demeanor was a concious choice and he nailed that. This was 2 years after Demolition Man, so he already had a satirical/ comical scifi cop role under his belt. The movie wasn`t great back then, but it was funny. - On another note, please watch "Tank Girl", comic movie, too, same time period and as much over the top!
When this came out you could buy models of Dredd, the ABC robot and Judge Hershey. The Hershey model was pulled from some stores because her "headlights" were on, in some stores they placed a banner across her chest. I built the Dredd and ABC kits, Dredd was a regular plastic kit but the other 2 were vinyl.
I highly recommend watching Marvel animated films as well, especially Hulk Vs. Wolverine, Hulk Vs. Thor, Planet Hulk and Doctor Strange: The Sorcerer Supreme.
This is one of my favorite Stallone films! So much over the top acting and some unintentionally funny moments. The world building is great but really hampered by the technology at the time. You should definitely watch Demolition Man! Also, for a full on Stallone Comedic role you should watch Oscar.
my dad and i quote this movie all the time. considered a classic in my family. we have always thought as it as an action/comedy. i think the actors were in on it. "You gonna knock on the door and say Cursed Earth Pizza??" such a great line. lol
As a kid, I loved that movie. I love a lot of movies from that time that are funny and cringy and just a joy to watch. Demolition Man is the winner of them all.
If you want to see comedy with Stallone, you need to do a Movie Reaction to Oscar from 1991. Perfectly shows off his comedy chops, and yes, Demolition Man is a must see.
🤣🤣Greg looking like a pained dad trying his hardest not to grab the wheel and just do the intro himself, as Coy so energetically and adorably butchered it!!!🤣🤣 The best intro ever!
I would love to see you guys watch other 90s superhero/comic book films. Such as The Shadow, The Phantom, Darkman, and Blankman. Also throw in some 90s video game movies like Street Fighter or Double Dragon. All of these are my childhood and they are just as much fun as Judge Dredd.
Honestly, it's such a camp mass murder movie. It's gloriously fun and the practical effects are on a level you just don't see anymore. I hold a lot of nostalgia for this film.
Stallone's Dredd has always been a guilty pleasure. I enjoyed your reaction and have given a new perspective on this movie that I want to rewatch it. Urban's Dredd is far much more superior to this one. As for Armand Asante I remember him in the TV Miniseries the Odyssey, Fatal Instinct and I, The Jury.
Fun fact! The British actor who plays the owner of the bazaar who Rico kills and steals the robot from is played by the late great Ian Dury - one of the biggest punk rock star in the UK in the 1970’s!
If you guys haven't seen Demolition Man, I HIGHLY recommend it. Another Stallone future film Edit : wrote this comment before I got to the end of the video 😆
If you watch interviews with Stallone, he was very much aware of the satire that is achieved through the character of Judge Dredd. If you check out the comics, there is very dark satirical comedy and even some silly humor. This movie captures the spirit of certain runs of the comics very well. But Stallone said himself, this "should have been more balls to the wall." I think he knew something is lacking. For a 90s rated R comic book flick, it's fun, and I still love it. 2012's DREDD is so much better, though. That one is "balls to the wall." It's kind of derivative of The Raid, but it's still very good.
I think he was only aware of it after the fact. He is part of the reason why it was edited down to a more generic action comedy. He's admitted the way he handled the editing of Judge Dredd to be one of his biggest mistakes, because it could have been more.
My dad 72 passed away a couple years ago from Alzheimer's, I remember me and him going to see this movie at midnight when it came out, it was a special promotion local radio station was doing, pretty cool to think back on
I love how quickly Coy thinks on his feet, trying to use the RICO laws as justification for a character's namesake. Not even sure if he was right or not, but it did sound good. LOL!!!! The Karl Urban remake is so much better IMO. It's like watching a ramped up version of "The Raid" on 'roids.
you can see where the $100m budget went. at the time it was made that was what all the writeups talk about was the overblown budget. i think Stalone has an awareness of character. but the director at the time was marketing it as serious.
I've honestly never seen Greg crack up so much, and made me realize just how unintentionally funny Stallone is. This was a really entertaining reaction guys. I have judged!!!!
Dredd (2012) is a masterpiece of the genre and my most rewatched movie since it's release. Amazing cast across the board, amazing visuals and score and a tight 1h30m runtime. No fluff, just raw bad assery. Along side The Raid and the John Wick series, Dredd is one of the best action movies of the last two decades.
This movie explains a LOT more of the lore than Dredd (2012) does. When I watch reactors watch the new one without seeing this one they sometimes seem lost when it comes to explaining things like the tech for example.

If you haven't already, I'd recommend "Oscar", and " Cop Land".
The fact they didn't immediately recognize the intro voiceover as James Earl Jones is tragic!

That's literally a real law that exists involving property theft. It's called an "attractive nuisance". California is one of the worst about it.

Still hoping for a sequel.

Sorry, should say ‘film’ because it is art
I remember seeing this in a theater in the summer of 1995. One of my favorite summers ever. That summer, I got to see Die Hard With A Vengeance, Batman Forever, Under Siege 2, WaterWorld, Braveheart, Species, Ace Ventura: When Nature Calls and Judge Dredd at the movies. Good times.

Bloody hell, that's a bit close to home!
Look ma...no nose
Hardcore satire.
What an insane actor Stallone is.
He did this movie with a straight face, amazing.
He said when he walked on set nobody laughed at how he looked, shows how much disdain he had for the character.
What a stupid comment.
Just wished he kept the mask on
The "sequel" feels more like a prequel to this ; or this one here feels like a sequel to the newer one
Haven’t seen this one but I have seen Karl Urbans Dredd which was an amazing film and you should definitely react to it if you haven’t watched it already.
BTW: The actor who played Pa was the late Scott Wilson, who played Herschel in "The Walking Dead" and was in "In Cold Blood", "The Animal" (Along with Rob Schneider), "Dead Man Walking" and "The Exorcist III". I still miss him.
Dredd in 2000AD is absolutely satire & I honestly think that, either by accident or design, they genuinely managed to make a very decent satire here.
Dredd with Karl Urban is a underrated gem. I think you both with throughly enjoy it. Also you have Lena Headey as the villain is top notch. Long over due for a sequel.
Horrible remake
@@bryanneal939agree. It was enjoyable but in terms of style, set design, props, etc. it was brown and grey. Very dull movie visually.

Tbh Stallone could have been really good as Dredd without all this stuff.
@@schizzo8959he’s fine in the movie and the movie is enjoyable. I completely disagree with the criticism this movie gets.
That narrator in the beginning was James Earl Jones. Mr. Darth Vader himself. Surprised you couldn't recognize his voice.
James Earl Jones mistaken for Keith David: that made me weep a little.
Aw I thought this was the Karl Urban one at first! Haha
I love how the twist reveal of the birth of Rico after Dredd is literally the same as the movie Twins with Schwarzenegger and DeVito.
Right? And when they tell dredd his actual story I got goosebumps. I’m still trying to find that scene
“It would have been suicide”
“Maybe but its legal“
“The law can’t apologize”
I love those lines
Always thought the robot looked epic.
I am, the LAW! A camp classic! I love this movie. Watch Demolition Man next with Stallon and Wesley Snipes.

To be the law or not to be the law, that is the question.
Keep the Stallone movies going. Demolition Man! Cinema gold.
Some backstory...Stallone and Armand Assante were in the same acting circles back in the 1970s and were friends, and both of them achieved success.
REEL REJECTS WE BACK 🫡
I genuinely think this movie could have had it's own universe with the Dark Judges being the villains
The effects were there with the Hellraiser series and other horror movies of the time which would have made it special.

I AM THE LAAAWWWW!
This movie had some production problems as Steven E DeSoua wanted to make this into a kid friendly PG13 comic book adventure, but producer Andrew Vajna refused, as he wanted this to be dark gritty and violent, calling it "BATMAN 89 Meets BLADE RUNNER."
DeSouza quickly disowned the project.
Even director Danny Cannon was let out of the editing room by Stallone, whom actually directed the action scenes, cutting out 15 minutes of action Sequences, including a scene where Dredd shoots and kill the Judge Clones.
The film wasn't a critical or box office success, making $113 million dollars against a $90 million dollar budget, killing any chance of a franchise.
Stallone has no regrets playing the character, as he said in interviews that "it was a fun experience, until the producers git rid of Danny Cannon and hired Stallone as well as another director to finish the film."
Hope you all had a great time. Keep up the good work as always.
You two are cracking me up trying to watch this review and work at the same time 😂😂😂
I always remember Armand Assante from the 97 The Odyssey TV miniseries but you might know him from American Gangster.
reading IMDB trivia, Stalone thought it of as a action comedy, while the director wanted it more as dark satire.
BTW - RICO laws are from the 1970s.
You know man it has been great having Coy on here.
What people didn’t like at first was the fact the Stallone took off the helmet , plus you’re right that they wanted another Robocop movie but a better script and if Karl was the main star in this one it might have worked because the reboot was 1000% better and I went to see this in the movies ( yes I’m that old 😂😂)
Armand Assante was literally the first name in the credits and then when he shows up on the screen you're like who is this guy I can't place him😅

I think Stallone hit his peak in the 90s! His action flicks like Demolition Man and Daylight and Judge Dread being so fun hahaha!
Nah, "Daylight" fun? Sorry, but when it comes to a fun 90s Stallone movie, I'd pick "Tango and Cash" or "Cliffhanger" over "Daylight" anytime.

The second I heard you two haven’t seen the Karl urban Version I got super excited, you two are in for a treat forsure!!!
I swear the one with Karl urban “Dredd” is so underrated
Darkman, The Phantom, Blankman, MeteorMan, & Dick Tracy are 90s underrated Comic CLASSICS too
As a kid, I loved that movie. I love a lot of movies from that time that are funny and cringy and just a joy to watch. Demolition Man is the winner of them all.
jürgen prochnow...a german actor who made it in the us by playing the evil guy in a movie with stallone :)
If you want to see comedy with Stallone, you need to do a Movie Reaction to Oscar from 1991. Perfectly shows off his comedy chops, and yes, Demolition Man is a must see.
I remember Armsnd Assante being very good in an early 90s spoof film called Fatal Instinct
🤣🤣Greg looking like a pained dad trying his hardest not to grab the wheel and just do the intro himself, as Coy so energetically and adorably butchered it!!!🤣🤣 The best intro ever!
Yes indeed my fellas, the classics are a hit!
The greatest reveal from this masterpiece of a film is the "Hollywood Pictures" logo looks like Arnold Schwarzenegger. I can't unsee it.
I would love to see you guys watch other 90s superhero/comic book films. Such as The Shadow, The Phantom, Darkman, and Blankman. Also throw in some 90s video game movies like Street Fighter or Double Dragon. All of these are my childhood and they are just as much fun as Judge Dredd.
LLLLLAAAAAAWWWWW!!!!!The opening narration was James Earl Jones. This movie is so much fun. But Dredd 2012 is a bad ass reboot. Please do it next!!! ❤
Honestly, it's such a camp mass murder movie. It's gloriously fun and the practical effects are on a level you just don't see anymore. I hold a lot of nostalgia for this film.
The Karl Urban Dredd is like Total Recall versus the reboot.
It's more technical and clean, but it's not bonkers. No cannibal cyborgs.
Stallone's Dredd has always been a guilty pleasure. I enjoyed your reaction and have given a new perspective on this movie that I want to rewatch it. Urban's Dredd is far much more superior to this one.
As for Armand Asante I remember him in the TV Miniseries the Odyssey, Fatal Instinct and I, The Jury.
One of his best films was "The Mambo Kings" with Antonio Banderas.
@@johnlloyddy7016 Oh. That is right. He is great in Mambo Kings. Thanks for reminding me of that film.
This reaction was freaking hilarious love you guys, can’t wait for the 2012 dredd reaction it’s freaking awesome Karl kills it!!!
Y’all will love the Karl Urban film, it’s great
Fun fact! The British actor who plays the owner of the bazaar who Rico kills and steals the robot from is played by the late great Ian Dury - one of the biggest punk rock star in the UK in the 1970’s!
If you guys haven't seen Demolition Man, I HIGHLY recommend it. Another Stallone future film
Edit : wrote this comment before I got to the end of the video 😆
I see you a double toasted shirt. You guys channel and their channel are my two favorite for movie/ tv reviews
Saturday Night Live is what launched Rob Schneider's career, respectively. I do like how the duo also played together in Demolition Man.
If you watch interviews with Stallone, he was very much aware of the satire that is achieved through the character of Judge Dredd. If you check out the comics, there is very dark satirical comedy and even some silly humor. This movie captures the spirit of certain runs of the comics very well. But Stallone said himself, this "should have been more balls to the wall." I think he knew something is lacking. For a 90s rated R comic book flick, it's fun, and I still love it. 2012's DREDD is so much better, though. That one is "balls to the wall." It's kind of derivative of The Raid, but it's still very good.
I think he was only aware of it after the fact. He is part of the reason why it was edited down to a more generic action comedy.
He's admitted the way he handled the editing of Judge Dredd to be one of his biggest mistakes, because it could have been more.
You guys should also watch the movie Spawn. Very underrated film in my opinion
My dad 72 passed away a couple years ago from Alzheimer's, I remember me and him going to see this movie at midnight when it came out, it was a special promotion local radio station was doing, pretty cool to think back on
I love how quickly Coy thinks on his feet, trying to use the RICO laws as justification for a character's namesake. Not even sure if he was right or not, but it did sound good. LOL!!!! The Karl Urban remake is so much better IMO. It's like watching a ramped up version of "The Raid" on 'roids.
Demolition Man and JUDGE DREDD, man when i was young i love these movies..haha
you can see where the $100m budget went. at the time it was made that was what all the writeups talk about was the overblown budget. i think Stalone has an awareness of character. but the director at the time was marketing it as serious.
I've honestly never seen Greg crack up so much, and made me realize just how unintentionally funny Stallone is. This was a really entertaining reaction guys. I have judged!!!!
Dope Double Toasted tee!
Rob Schneider is also randomly in a movie called “Surf Ninjas” 😂
Demolition Man is prob my favorite Stallone movie
Oh yesss
One of my favorite movies all time.
Really hope you watch the 2012 Dredd, such a great movie.
Definitely watch the Karl urban one
Dredd (2012) is a masterpiece of the genre and my most rewatched movie since it's release. Amazing cast across the board, amazing visuals and score and a tight 1h30m runtime. No fluff, just raw bad assery. Along side The Raid and the John Wick series, Dredd is one of the best action movies of the last two decades.
I’ve never seen this movie or heard about it, so I got my breakfast and about sit back and watch this movie with Greg and coy 👏🏽💯
This movie explains a LOT more of the lore than Dredd (2012) does. When I watch reactors watch the new one without seeing this one they sometimes seem lost when it comes to explaining things like the tech for example.
Coy just casually dropping that he is friends with Jock. If it’s the artist I’m thinking of and the only Jock I’m aware of, that’s awesome!
:) love jock :)
