      @@blackskyirregular9876 It was still a PC shit show. The 90's were the era of the Burger King Kid's Club, Ghost Busters Extreme with the same PC cast full of tokens, corporations forming their diversity and heavy handed HR nonsense. If you've seen the film PCU, they didn't imagine those stereotypes of hyper PC college students. They were quite real. Still, tig bitty goth girls were also more prevalent so you take the good with the bad. The only problem these days compared to then is that PC culture is far more widespread these days and technology has given more power to the technocrats and SocJus mobs and I don't see it getting better. Oh, and there's no sexy sub culture. I miss my goth girls.

    Demolition Man is a cautionary tale about how, when society vilifies all forms of masculinity, society inadvertently allows those who express masculinity in its most violent and immoral form, to act with impunity. The way to counteract this problem is to NOT to demonize masculinity as a whole, but to allow those who express their masculinity within a moral framework to act as a check against those with no moral boundaries.

    The reason why L.A. was depicted as a war torn police state so often in the early to mid 90s was because it could've easily happened. The LA gangs overran huge section of the city from 90 - 92. There were the LA Riots in April of '92. By '94 there was the Simpson trial. Then the Northridge Quake also in '94, then the Seventh Heaven Rave Riots in '96, those are just a few highlights. So, between 90-96 LA was actually on the edge of collapse in the eyes of thousands of people.

    I'm sure this will have been noted below, but Bullock's character's name: Lenina is the name of the primary female character in Brave New World, and Huxley is of course from the author of that book, Aldous Huxley.

    I read on IMDB a few years ago that Stallone wanted his friend Jackie Chan to play Simon Phoenix but Chan declined because it could confuse the Asian audience who is used to see him as a hero. And I have to say, this worked out better with Snipes. He's really spectacular in this movie, I love the crazy character he portrays here and he does so well. Stallone, Bullocks and the others all do a wonderful job but when Snipes is in a scene, he just takes over everything.
    I love the scene were he kicks the glass and it doesn't work and then he asks the guy "How much do you weight?" and the guy starts answering but Phoenix just picks him up and smashes him into the glass. Lovely.

    I'll say it was ahead of its time. I saw it in Hollywood while living in Santa Monica. The restaurant scene where Stallone asks for salt and everybody chokes... because "salt is not good for you" (said in dulcet tones) "and so now it is illegal..." OH yeah, all of it, all the way back then. I really hope they don't try to remake this one, with all the men turned to women and the Imperial Nannies really helping us. Thanks for recommending this one. I think about it all the time these days, and I don't even live in America anymore.

I don't know how on earth we thought they were cool in the 90s, but they were. For some other great examples see any 90s teen TV show; Saved by the Bell, Fresh Prince of BelAir, Family Ties, and Blossom to name a few that come to mind.

    Demolition Man is definitely one of my favorite action movies. It got so much right about our current world and the character of Huxley is one of the few that I deeply relate to on a personal level. In many ways, I feel just like her. She is a quirky, nice, sheltered, nostalgic member of law enforcement that pines for a bygone era. An era that she doesn’t really understand, especially it’s more tougher aspects. If Huxley was recast as a mid-30s guy from New England, than I could perfectly fill her role.
