Best lines in the movie, in my opinion: Reporter: "...destroying a 7 million dollar mini-mall to rescue a little girl whose ransom is only $25,000." Little Girl: "Fuck you, lady!"
It(like pretty much the whole movie) was probably more a joke at the craziness of 90s America rather than a serious prediction. Personally, I watch Demolition Man as one big really well done parody of action movies, with a bit of political humor thrown in there. And by thrown in there, I mean central to the premise. I mean, even for 93, they couldn't have expected the audience to believe that a museum not only had a huge stockpile of active weapons, but they all happened to be loaded with live ammunition and unguarded as well. Not to mention the entire opening scene with... well... barrels of C4. If they really wanted a cheap way to blow up the building they could have just put "Explosive" or "Flammable" on the sides of the barrels, but instead they chose specifically C4, which does not detonate when exposed to flame. This makes me think it was intentionally over the top.
I welcome any and all content from this show, which I've enjoyed from the beginning. But, I would respectfully request you accompany any new uploads with an 'Originally published on' date. I do understand that RUclips has made life difficult for practically everybody in the Reviewaverse, yet still feel that this small courtesy could help avoid misunderstanding and disappointment. Sorry to be a passive-aggressive poopmonster. Only mean to make a recommendation, not a demand.
No, thank YOU. You've got a good show, and you've worked super hard on it. It hurt to be all complainy-pants about something so minor. But, I hope it contributes to strengthening your 'brand', if you will pardon the marketese.
Great review of one of my favorite Stallone movies ( this and "Cliffhanger" both came out in 1992, IMO his last good year ) Good gag about Snipes costume here -- "My Buddy" !
This film is part of a trope called "I Want My Jet Pack" which refers to films set in the future but the technology is far too advanced for how soon it takes place. In this case, a lot of the technology is very plausible for the timeframe indicated, however the economic and social development as well as the memory of older people strongly suggest that the date should be MUCH later than it is said to take place. tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/IWantMyJetPack
This is one of my fav movies. Before I start this vid, let me tell you: don't shit on this. I'm kidding. There's a high chance you will. I'll allow it.
Since when was one race looking to exploit another race resources an idea and not reality ? You need to brush up on colonialism . The Cell dealt with dreams through technology before paprika and if you want to say Paprika was based on a 1993 novel then know that Dreamscape (1984) was a movie that dealt with the same Dream technology and implanting false ideas which was influenced by the novel The Dream Masters (1966) . 1983 movie Brainstorm, The idea of being trapped into Virtual reality predates Ghost in the Shell in the west. Ghost in the Shell borrows from Blade Runner (1982) visual setting and Blade Runner was based on Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep novel (1968) Before Matrix and Ghost in the Shell (1989) was novel Simulacron-3 (1964) ,Time out of Joint (1959), Alternate Reality video game (1985) by Philip Price and maybe most importantly Neuromancer (1984) Count zero (1986) and Mona Lisa Overdrive (1988) were works by William Gibson referred to as the Sprawl trilogy or Neuromancer , Cyberspace or Matrix trilogy which both Matrix (got it's name from including zion) and Ghost in the Shell share a lot of similarities with. Also Armitage (which was inspired by Dunwich horror ) and Appleseed (1985) (which inspired the look of Chappie 2015 movie) anime seem to be inspired by William Gibson Sprawl trilogy.

From greek Pygmalion to Frankinsteins bride . But in terms of media their was Electric Dreams movie (1984) , the huge amount of sex bots and cyborg sex slaves in western fiction predates anything from Japan . Like Blade Runner had a sex bot, Escape from Ds3 (1981), Circuitry man (1989) , Heavy metal (2000) , Weird Science (1985) , Millennium (1989) and the Mannequin (1987 and 1991) in a farfetched way.

ha ha
Good answer!!!!
this guy is still funny, he needs to make more reviews
I want to see the deleted scenes in this film.
i want to see a dem number two????
So Demolition man future is the SJW heaven?
Very accurate prediction!
nah, they clearly still have cultural appropriation.
ot4kon Nah, a song about hotdogs would be to triggering.
2018 and the scary proliferation of SJW remind me this masterpiece.
It was made Right after the LA riots.
Not that unreasonable in that context.

This makes me think it was intentionally over the top.
or thought to a degree
That scene where Spartan realized he was a seamstress made me swear that Stallone had been briefly swapped for Jensen Ackles.
Were still suffering PC
just asking. are you still making videos?
This version of the world is a SJW's dream world.
And it took toxic masculinity to not only save it but reunite them with the toxic underworld dwelling brethren lol
At least humanity in the 25th century still had some balls. Buck Rogers
and eddie long
im gonna say it now, I agree with the nostalgia critic, this movie is funnier now then it was in the past

+Furore2323 That is a good idea. I did think about it at one time, but not sure why I didn't. Fixed. Thanks.
No, thank YOU.

sure thing
We're looking at a CLASSIC Stallone movie. When you say classic nobody thinks '90's. So of course they're gonna go back to the '70's with Rocky.
I thought the time jump was too small, too
Great review of one of my favorite Stallone movies ( this and "Cliffhanger" both came out in 1992, IMO his last good year ) Good gag about Snipes costume here -- "My Buddy" !
You should watch Creed. He was really good in that.
I liked this review of Demolition Guy, should do more! The Incredible SciFi Man!
A Cult Classic..
What a great movie haha
LOVED THIS!!
Nice review. This is one of my favorite movies.
I oddly want a squeal for this
Hey explain the 3 shells its been 26 fckn years 3 shells in the toilet o please
Of course they do miss one major point about a setting like this.... umm,.... there's a whole world out there not just southern California
I'm new here but you should do this on Aeon Flux that shit would be hilarious...
Demolition man world of future is like zootopia, but with people instead of animals.
9:05 Or In Other Words Hes This Movies Version of C3 P0
im a tailor. im a dude... so i guess im a seamstress? wtf?
Wesley Snipes = My Buddy
lmao
That opening was best I have ever seen!!!!
I really enjoyed this film at the time
He don't even know how to use three seashells ...
8:07 Please tell me where that music is from, I recognise it but ...don't recall where.

Associate Bob is The Spider from Game of Thrones.
wise_guy42 and is also in Beetlejuice
Best movie reviewer
For anyone who cares that "I was frozen today" come from one of my favorite movies Urban Commando (1991)
*Suburban Commando...
Fuck you're right.
with christiphur lloyd
Christopher Lloyd
This is one of my fav movies. Before I start this vid, let me tell you: don't shit on this. I'm kidding. There's a high chance you will. I'll allow it.
the 3 seashells.
I theorize that Bob is actually an Android specifically designed to manage the government.
It's possible, it also makes sense for his name, Bob could be an abbreviation, or a nickname.
The Arctic Gamer true
or hunger games
you should do a review with Decker Shado. have you reviewed death machine?
the society in demolition man was based on brave new world
You forgot to mention Woody Allen's Sleeper
How do you use the three shells?!
LMFAO 5:23
na that's just the way the justice system works lol
they want u to live off enimas ans stool softers
LA 1996 looks like a typical BLM protest

HEY SCI-FI GUY. Can you please publish more stuff?
