Mortal Kombat and Batman Forever still are. MK is fantastically shot while A LOT of detail went into everything in Batman Forever, nothing is there by chance and the whole production is far, far, deeper than anyone has ever given it credit for. Great films. Shout out to Dredd for it's practical effects too, that robot still looks great.
You're not wrong about ID-ing someone with a concealed face. I had to relearn some of the duty roster at work, but this time *without* frickin' Covid masks. : )
Well, if you can hear voice actors you instantly recognize their voice, unless you've never seen them and are standing next to them as they speak. You literally need to close your eyes to recognize the voice because seeing their face somehow affects voice recognition. So I don't know, seems kinda valid.
To be honest, the guy owning the robot was shady as hell. Most likely his idea of decommissioning the robot involves just cutting a few wires and remove some armor plating, just to appear deactivated.
@@MabusParodies2nd He specifically said all those model types were decommissioned. It could be a reference to a story in the comics where there was a robot uprising...but I doubt this movie is that clever.
@@bigbaddawg101 What amazes me is that the Dredd Film is a loose Amalgamation of major Judge Dredd Story lines from it Ealier years in 1978-1979 - The Block war is from a 1981 story called "Block Wars" , The Council Politics Story with Griffin trying to become a Tyrannt Chief Judge is baisicly "Judge Call", All the scenes set in the cursed earth is similar to "The Cursed Earth series" and The Rico stuff is obviously Taken from "any rico story" , The Clone story im not sure (i didn't read Dredd Comic past 1983) but The Movie uses characters introduced the late 1980s and throws Fargo in there for good measure. I guess the stallone film tried to but in every trope from the comics. personally i enjoyed it as a Great Pastiche of DREDD's History in the comics.
Ohh, this movie... I was 10 when I discovered the British anthology comic 2000AD. Judge Dredd soon became the lead character and story... and still is today with legions of fans. When this film was announced, they rejoiced - despite misgivings over Stallone's casting. The production design was perfect; The Lawmaster bike, the ABC Warrior robot, The Angel gang, the Judges' uniforms... and then we saw it. As soon as the helmet came off, it wasn't Dredd anymore - it was just a Stallone action picture. Ah well. Oh, and the Long Walk into the post apocalyptic wilderness that the Chief Judge takes? That's part of canon. Any judge who feels too old or unsure of themself to continue as a judge can choose to take The Long Walk into the Cursed Earth outside Mega City One and "bring law to the lawless... justice to the unjust", taking their chances until they die. Great retirement plan, huh?
I guess they wanted to get their money out of Stallone's star power and look where the greed got them, they lost millions. By "they," I'm referring to the Studio.

“The books don’t matter” is usually used to mean that content outside the movies can’t absolve sins. Because a movie has to tell a story on its own. A movie can’t rely on viewers having done the homework in order to understand the plot. Jeremy’s sin is about bad adaptation by making a character markedly different than he was in the source material.
@@NeoTechni To be fair, I think Karl Urban did a great job as Dredd. I enjoyed that movie as well, but it didn't have quite the aesthetic of the original.
To me - a Brit who grew up reading Judge Dredd - this film represented everything that was wrong with Hollywood adaptations. It totally had the budget to do the source "justice" (haha) - the sets, costumes, effects, etc., were all first-rate - but it was all for naught because the filmmakers insisted on forcing the quirky source material into a standard format that incorporated every action-movie cliche going. The whole point of the Dredd character is that he's a true anti-hero: he's not likeable or good or any of the usual hero traits; he's supposed to be "so fascist it's funny," doing stuff like giving people a 25 year jail sentence for possession of sugar and then doubling it because the perp argued back. It was satire: a Brit's-eye-view of the possible future of American law-enforcement, inspired by the (then-recent) "Dirty Harry" films, taking the attitude of that character to the extreme. Such a blackly-comic comment on Hollywood was never going to survive translation into a "normal" American blockbuster movie. To be honest, the nearest things we've ever had to movies that nail the tone of the original Dredd comics - getting the mix of action and satire right - is the Ed Neumeier-scripted stuff that Paul Verhoeven directed, e.g. RoboCop and (to a slightly lesser extent) Starship Troopers.
Perfect reaction, the real review of the Judge Dredd movie is a review of the USA's culture, ironically exactly what the comic book is. Americans should never have been allowed to be in charge of their own critique.
The Starship Troopers film was an absolute treasure and a great example of the fact that with actual passion and intention, you can make a good film out of anything. Even something you think is utter bullshit. Your review reminds me of Warhammer 40k and their slow devolution into ultramarines fanfics.

Actually, being a Dredd-Head from the 1980's, when i started buying the comics from the store on the military post in Bremerhaven, Germany, where I was stationed as an MP, I can attest to the fact that Dredd has had his helmet off in several issues, but to agree with you, they don't show his face. It's been in shadow, or covered with medical bandages, and sometimes he's shown from the rear, but there have been several instances where he is shown with the helmet. Sorry...I'm a purist! :-)
but..its a movie. There's no impact on showing his face. In comics, they need things like that.And that a perfect way to keep.mysterious the person..and even say that YOU could.be THAT judge. But in a movie it wouldn't bring that same effect.
He was a good Dredd but the film makers had the whole Mega City One wrong. The 1995 had that correct, in the comics the city was futuristic with flying cars and not the whole ghetto city we got to see in Dredd.
@@zaltmanbleroze agreed, this version had the ‘look’ of MegaCiti one, but an awful film, whereas Urbans ‘Dredd’ setting was just LA in 10 years time, but a much better film. Neither films had the uniform right, in all its unpractical glory.
"Steals the Dark Troopers from the Mandalorian." Correction: the Dark Troopers were originally introduced in the Star Wars video game "Dark Forces", which came out the same year at this Judge Dredd film. The Mandalorian was reviving them, not inventing them... ;) No time travel required (except possibly to compensate for the lead time required in making costumes on a major motion picture).

Anyway, we still need a real sin here--oh, I know! Eight hours to make an adult super-cop clone? I can barely make a decent pot roast in 8 hours!!!" **ding** 🤣🤣🤣
10:57 considering I've been doing this exact thing but in reverse to recognize people I've only seen with a mask on, it's really not that unreasonable.
Fun Fact: Sylvester Stallone (Judge Joseph Dredd) and Armand Assante (Judge Rico Dredd) are both 5ft 9 ½ in real life, but their characters are both 6ft 6.
@Ben Walker Really? I've read from someone who saw it that they thought it was even greater than the first. But hey, I'm not one to judge the movie; I still gotta get it on video to finally watch it myself, thanks to not getting the chance to at release while it was in theaters.
@@QuickTimeVelocity I saw the words "animated sequel sins that caused anger" and I used the words _animated, sequel_ and _anger_ to think about Angry Birds. If it doesn't turn out to be that, I dunno when that video will show.
@@InfiniteFury2K Oh, right! Creative thought process there. I didn't think of that the first time. Maybe you should do an ongoing comment series decoding what the description teasers for the next videos could mean.
I like that "the books don't matter" when you're busy sinning a film for fanservice, book/comic references, or other things that "reading the book" would tell you are important, but for Judge Dredd your biggest beef is that the film doesn't adapt the source material properly, thereby making the "books" suddenly matter this time. I've think we've got a Dredd fanboy over here, fellas.
Yeah, I didn’t know Dredd never took off his helmet until years after watching the movie. But hey it’s CinemaSins; their rules don’t matter until they do - then it’s a sin lol!
Honestly,I've enjoyed both Movies and Dreads Stallone's Intimidating Height,Face and Posture really sold this movie for me,It's still enjoyable and weirdly felt like a comic. While Karl urban's Dread is straight up badass and the movie is equally amazing too thanks to its grounded story. I couldn't care less about the books if the movie is enjoyable and that's all that matters.
Stallone was the perfect casting. Reading the comics I always thought it was to obscure to ever get made but I always pictured Stallone as Judge Dredd.
They way i view the two films is this, Dredd 2012 is a Prequel (no flying cars and stuff) and Judge Dredd 1995 is the sequel set 50 years later (with flying cars and stuff) where hes more Mature and people see him as a "god" which makes his arrest even more shocking, (Judges can live to 70 and have the vitality of a 40 year old) and that works for me.
Also....Dredd had his hemet removed another few times. 1. Early comic where he uses a face changer ( yeah ...its a thing) to look like Rondo Hatton 2. During the apocalypse war he shoots himself in the heart ( with just enuff power to keep him alive) they take off his helmet and go " of so thats what he looks like!"
@@HappyCynic dear god. How could I forget that one.! A great story the line about a time he could remember each scars genesis. Now just enjoying a soak.
Only if we can do the same for "I Am Legend" for using the title of the source novel - implying faithfulness to (or at least awareness of) the source - and then being a "broken telephone" adaptation based on the screenplay of probably the least faithful previous adaptation. 2000 sins! :)
14:41 being an auto tech and having good understanding of electrical/mechanical contrivances I can tell you that the "give it a jolt" cliche actually has it's roots in reality. As often the failure of an electrical component is often "mechanical" as in the solder has cracked and allowed a component to have poor electrical continuity. (granted in movies this is sometimes used in a believable fashion and other times not so much...) Shaking/wiggling things is a rudimentary way of "diagnosing" the problem or temporarily 'fixing' it lol
The best thing about this movie was the inclusion of the ABC warrior. They should bring that back to the Megacity One show. - also, I'd like to see some moments in the wastes outside the Megacities, they could show mutants, cyborgs, ecentric tribes. And also show why the Megacities are like they are, because people often forget that it's largely desolate outside of the walls..
Someday you just need to buy the rights to a film and just release an "everything wrong with ___ in 100 minutes or less" where you just show the whole film unedited.
I really want to see a movie that is a combination of both judge dread movies?. Like with the cartoony style of this one, that gets the city and the outfit correct.. But the dark gritty tone and never taking off the helmet of the other one
5:48 Guilt and innocence is a matter of timing. He’s got a point, it used to be common to have sexual relationships with children. All drugs used to be legal, slavery was legal, etc. -1
Even today people break the law as written all the time. It just comes down to enforcement and whether there’s an over zealous cop nearby. Any speed over the speed limit- law broken. Driving the speed limit when its not a clear sunny day- law broken. Dropped a piece of garbage on the ground- law broken. Anal sex in certain states- law broken. U-turn in some states- law broken. Not getting specific permission before engaging in sex, even if it’s your wife or husband- law broken. Backing out of your driveway onto a public road- law broken. Not using your turn signals every time you turn or switch lanes at the correct distance or time- law broken. Not having your headlights on when your wipers are on- law broken. Crossing a street not at a pedestrian crosswalk- law broken. Walking down the side of the road without a sidewalk- law broken. So many others.
Guilt and innocence is not the same as illegal vs legal. In a time (and place) where something is legal, if you do that thing, you're guilty of it. Guilty just means you did it, not that it was unacceptable or illegal.
@@CamaroAmx "Believe it or not-- jail." 🤣 But yes. I think of most of those traffic infractions (e.g. mild speeding) as tools for cops to throw the book at you if you do something really bad, like a dangerous maneuver. Add it to the reckless driving charge for a harsher overall ticket when you seriously almost killed someone. Or if caught DWI.
The moment he takes off his helmet it STOPS being a Judge Dredd movie, and becomes a Sylvester Stallone/Hollywood movie. With minimal changes to the script it coulda just been a blockbuster. No need to drag Dredd into it.
I AM THE LAW!!! 😳 Mister I AM THE LAW! 😂 This movie still rocks in my book. Not to mention a young Diane Lane ❤️ P.s. u should watch fast 9 now n when it comes out in the u.s. in a few weeks, release it on the same day. Be a joker. Like me 🃏 Y so serious 😈🥃
10:50 Griffin DID have to honor Fargo's request. It's how their society works. If Griffin just pulled a BS, "Nope!" out of nowhere, someone in that room of Judges would look at him sideways for it.
Exactly. It’s even said that it’s traditional that they honor a retiring judge’s last request. Not to mention Griffin would of had to convince the other judges on the spot and in public to go against the request.
I read somewhere years ago, during the marketing for the film Stallone said he took off the helmet so that when people read the comics they'd picture his face behind the visor. Karl Urban's Dredd was a much better movie in every way.
i only discovered the comics in 2018 and was a massive Fan and have watched since at least 2004 or so the film befor2018, and when i read dredd i imgagine its stalones voice when i read dredds lines, but of course if i had have been born in the 80s , it would be Dirty harrys voice id be imgining.
Isnt it more logical to assume that the city got so big that it incapsulated the statue of liberty? Rather than they moved it in to the middle of the city.
3:15 He likely had his gun reprogrammed to his personal taste. The original activation code was probably “HMX-916 double armor projectiles with Kayson heat seeker in barrel 1 and 3”.
Oooh... I remember being in London in the mid to late 90s and seeing one of the judges bikes in the window of some exhibition. The thing is, close up the bike looked awful, like it was made from toilet rolls and stuck on bits from plastic bottles etc. Sure, I know it was made like that, but to see it up close was just so surprising and shocking; it looked amateurish and bad. On the big screen, the bikes look cool though... :)
Most movie cars/vehicles are made quickly and cheaply. They only need to look good enough on camera. They don’t even need to perform as well as the film implies.
@@DaveLennonCopeland I learned that from seeing the original Bullitt Mustang with how hack together that was. And a show that restored one of the Challengers from 2 Fast 2 Furious. That thing was actually bent in the front end (though it was not a stunt car) and for the racing harnesses, they used real harnesses but zip screwed them to the floor and attached them using key chain hooks (the ones that look like climbing gear hooks).
@@CamaroAmx Cool... In the early 2000s, I worked at my local theatre doing set construction and small prop making, so, yeah it's ALL fake close up but on camera/far away, it looks to do the job. :)
@@TheHighRoad1748 I checked out your video and commented (since deleted) and you could not even return the favour by checking out my channel and watching one of my videos... shame on you dude!
I think they're both underrated. Both are flawed. Combined they make a perfect film. I'd love to see old Dredd (Stallone) open, close and narrate the movie while we see it acted out by young Dredd (Urban).
Karl Urban gets it. Sly does not. Literally the only bit of this movie that I didn't hate was when "I got to say oh look, ABC Warriors!" And it lasted less time than it takes to say that line out loud.

@@br7795 He probably meant not lethal to a Judge. I doubt he meant you could be standing in the street balls naked and be safe.

He was a good Dredd but the film makers had the whole Mega City One wrong. The 1995 had that correct, in the comics the city was futuristic with flying cars and not the whole ghetto city we got to see in Dredd.
@@zaltmanbleroze agreed, this version had the ‘look’ of MegaCiti one, but an awful film, whereas Urbans ‘Dredd’ setting was just LA in 10 years time, but a much better film. Neither films had the uniform right, in all its unpractical glory.
"Steals the Dark Troopers from the Mandalorian."
Correction: the Dark Troopers were originally introduced in the Star Wars video game "Dark Forces", which came out the same year at this Judge Dredd film. The Mandalorian was reviving them, not inventing them... ;) No time travel required (except possibly to compensate for the lead time required in making costumes on a major motion picture).

Sylvester Stallone (Judge Joseph Dredd) and Armand Assante (Judge Rico Dredd) are both 5ft 9 ½ in real life, but their characters are both 6ft 6.
"animated sequel sins that caused anger"
All I can think of is Ice Age Collision Course
Or even _Angry Birds 2?_
Renaissance-Era animated Disney motion pictures come to mind for me.
@Ben Walker Really? I've read from someone who saw it that they thought it was even greater than the first. But hey, I'm not one to judge the movie; I still gotta get it on video to finally watch it myself, thanks to not getting the chance to at release while it was in theaters.
@@QuickTimeVelocity I saw the words "animated sequel sins that caused anger" and I used the words _animated, sequel_ and _anger_ to think about Angry Birds. If it doesn't turn out to be that, I dunno when that video will show.
@@InfiniteFury2K Oh, right! Creative thought process there. I didn't think of that the first time. Maybe you should do an ongoing comment series decoding what the description teasers for the next videos could mean.
I like that "the books don't matter" when you're busy sinning a film for fanservice, book/comic references, or other things that "reading the book" would tell you are important, but for Judge Dredd your biggest beef is that the film doesn't adapt the source material properly, thereby making the "books" suddenly matter this time.
I've think we've got a Dredd fanboy over here, fellas.
Yeah, I didn’t know Dredd never took off his helmet until years after watching the movie. But hey it’s CinemaSins; their rules don’t matter until they do - then it’s a sin lol!
This movie is one of the best examples of a necessary remake.
You missed the real sin, no Cameo by Judge Reinhold in the background as a fellow judge saying: how did I get this job?
I love cameos
Honestly,I've enjoyed both Movies and Dreads
Stallone's Intimidating Height,Face and Posture really sold this movie for me,It's still enjoyable and weirdly felt like a comic.
While Karl urban's Dread is straight up badass and the movie is equally amazing too thanks to its grounded story.
I couldn't care less about the books if the movie is enjoyable and that's all that matters.
>Stallone's intimidating height
The man is short. Everything you know is a lie.
Stallone was the perfect casting. Reading the comics I always thought it was to obscure to ever get made but I always pictured Stallone as Judge Dredd.
@@ForeverLaxx well how tall is he then?
Never mind I looked it up and he’s only 5’9... that is surprising.
They way i view the two films is this, Dredd 2012 is a Prequel (no flying cars and stuff) and Judge Dredd 1995 is the sequel set 50 years later (with flying cars and stuff) where hes more Mature and people see him as a "god" which makes his arrest even more shocking, (Judges can live to 70 and have the vitality of a 40 year old) and that works for me.
@@RealBadGaming52 perfect. I do something similar with the first two Nolan Batman films and the two Burton films
Im visualizing the situation that Stallone shouts "I am the law" in the beginning of every movie set. Pure gold my man..pure gold!!
"LAAAAAAW!" - Nostalgia Critic.
Also....Dredd had his hemet removed another few times.
1. Early comic where he uses a face changer ( yeah ...its a thing) to look like Rondo Hatton
2. During the apocalypse war he shoots himself in the heart ( with just enuff power to keep him alive) they take off his helmet and go " of so thats what he looks like!"
He also appeared sans helmet in The Dead Man story.
@@HappyCynic Ahhh true indeed. For my eternal shame I forgot about the necropolis story. Is my face red :(

An automatic 100 sins off for being able to listen to James Earl Jones narrate the intro.
Can I add 2000 more sins for the movie showing off the source material at the beginning only to break it's number 1 rule?
Only if we can do the same for "I Am Legend" for using the title of the source novel - implying faithfulness to (or at least awareness of) the source - and then being a "broken telephone" adaptation based on the screenplay of probably the least faithful previous adaptation. 2000 sins! :)
@@blatherskite3009 DEAL

While the years have been kind to her, whew Diane Lane had it back in the day.
Love watching this after seeing The Onion sketch with the Supreme Court justices all quoting "I am the Law!" 😂
You mean Judge Dredd is the Coors Golden of 90's comic book movies. That's the banquet beer!
14:41 being an auto tech and having good understanding of electrical/mechanical contrivances I can tell you that the "give it a jolt" cliche actually has it's roots in reality. As often the failure of an electrical component is often "mechanical" as in the solder has cracked and allowed a component to have poor electrical continuity.
(granted in movies this is sometimes used in a believable fashion and other times not so much...)
Shaking/wiggling things is a rudimentary way of "diagnosing" the problem or temporarily 'fixing' it lol
The best thing about this movie was the inclusion of the ABC warrior. They should bring that back to the Megacity One show.
- also, I'd like to see some moments in the wastes outside the Megacities, they could show mutants, cyborgs, ecentric tribes. And also show why the Megacities are like they are, because people often forget that it's largely desolate outside of the walls..
Maybe the occasional strontium dog
Kudos on the pronunciation of “Verhoeven” Jeremy! Most people get it wrong.
Can we all agree this movie is a really good Guilty Pleasure?
I'm sure some people can. But a lot of us see it as a brain numbing dumb one
Someday you just need to buy the rights to a film and just release an "everything wrong with ___ in 100 minutes or less" where you just show the whole film unedited.
"The Avengers", the UK one not the US one.
I really want to see a movie that is a combination of both judge dread movies?.
Like with the cartoony style of this one, that gets the city and the outfit correct..
But the dark gritty tone and never taking off the helmet of the other one
How is the "You betrayed the law!" "LAAAAWWWW!!!!" scene not a sin removal? That scen is great.
How can you sp nd 17 minutes sinning a masterpiece like - oohhhhhh wait, this is _Judge_ Dredd. As you were

5:48 Guilt and innocence is a matter of timing. He’s got a point, it used to be common to have sexual relationships with children. All drugs used to be legal, slavery was legal, etc. -1
Even today people break the law as written all the time. It just comes down to enforcement and whether there’s an over zealous cop nearby.
Any speed over the speed limit- law broken. Driving the speed limit when its not a clear sunny day- law broken. Dropped a piece of garbage on the ground- law broken. Anal sex in certain states- law broken. U-turn in some states- law broken. Not getting specific permission before engaging in sex, even if it’s your wife or husband- law broken. Backing out of your driveway onto a public road- law broken. Not using your turn signals every time you turn or switch lanes at the correct distance or time- law broken. Not having your headlights on when your wipers are on- law broken. Crossing a street not at a pedestrian crosswalk- law broken. Walking down the side of the road without a sidewalk- law broken. So many others.
Guilt and innocence is not the same as illegal vs legal.
In a time (and place) where something is legal, if you do that thing, you're guilty of it. Guilty just means you did it, not that it was unacceptable or illegal.
@@CamaroAmx "Believe it or not-- jail." 🤣
But yes. I think of most of those traffic infractions (e.g. mild speeding) as tools for cops to throw the book at you if you do something really bad, like a dangerous maneuver. Add it to the reckless driving charge for a harsher overall ticket when you seriously almost killed someone. Or if caught DWI.
@@nthgth if you break the law then you are guilty and not innocent of the crime.
Judge Jury and executioner
"so cops" LOL
15:29 this scene alone is so fun, it deserves 1000 sins off
It's my notification sound on my phone!
Up until Sly took off the helmet, this was a perfect adaption of the original comic.
The moment he takes off his helmet it STOPS being a Judge Dredd movie, and becomes a Sylvester Stallone/Hollywood movie.
With minimal changes to the script it coulda just been a blockbuster. No need to drag Dredd into it.
I think the last time Jeremy was this upset over a movie, it was Pete's Dragon.
Fast and Furious?
The huge robot didn't attack the bad guys cuz Rob schneider rewired it,
he simply reacted to the malfunction caused by Rob messing with his wiring.

10:50 Griffin DID have to honor Fargo's request. It's how their society works. If Griffin just pulled a BS, "Nope!" out of nowhere, someone in that room of Judges would look at him sideways for it.
Exactly. It’s even said that it’s traditional that they honor a retiring judge’s last request. Not to mention Griffin would of had to convince the other judges on the spot and in public to go against the request.
I read somewhere years ago, during the marketing for the film Stallone said he took off the helmet so that when people read the comics they'd picture his face behind the visor.
Karl Urban's Dredd was a much better movie in every way.
i only discovered the comics in 2018 and was a massive Fan and have watched since at least 2004 or so the film befor2018, and when i read dredd i imgagine its stalones voice when i read dredds lines, but of course if i had have been born in the 80s , it would be Dirty harrys voice id be imgining.
"Lawgiver man!!!" Terrible insults! Is one of the best jokes of all time.
Jeremy you knew that in the comics Dredd never removes his helmet, thus proving that books DO MATTER!!!

That Land Rover Taxi cab is at the British motor museum. That's all I have to say.

Isnt it more logical to assume that the city got so big that it incapsulated the statue of liberty? Rather than they moved it in to the middle of the city.

3:15 He likely had his gun reprogrammed to his personal taste. The original activation code was probably “HMX-916 double armor projectiles with Kayson heat seeker in barrel 1 and 3”.
And there is a switch as well. Just the special ammo is voice activated via voice command.
Take “the Law” challenge. Take a shot everytime someone says “the Law”. Gonna be messed up in 15 minutes
The biggest sin this movie committed was that it's stink still lingered so strongly that it hurt Dredd enough to cost us a sequel.
Amen
Oooh... I remember being in London in the mid to late 90s and seeing one of the judges bikes in the window of some exhibition. The thing is, close up the bike looked awful, like it was made from toilet rolls and stuck on bits from plastic bottles etc. Sure, I know it was made like that, but to see it up close was just so surprising and shocking; it looked amateurish and bad. On the big screen, the bikes look cool though... :)
Most movie cars/vehicles are made quickly and cheaply. They only need to look good enough on camera. They don’t even need to perform as well as the film implies.
@@CamaroAmx - I know... as I said at the latter end of my comment. But, actually seeing the movie prop in the raw was quite eye-opening :).
@@DaveLennonCopeland I learned that from seeing the original Bullitt Mustang with how hack together that was. And a show that restored one of the Challengers from 2 Fast 2 Furious. That thing was actually bent in the front end (though it was not a stunt car) and for the racing harnesses, they used real harnesses but zip screwed them to the floor and attached them using key chain hooks (the ones that look like climbing gear hooks).
@@CamaroAmx Cool... In the early 2000s, I worked at my local theatre doing set construction and small prop making, so, yeah it's ALL fake close up but on camera/far away, it looks to do the job. :)

"...we don't have time for This..." line made me laugh as a kid way too much
If you're going to have narration, you could easily do worse than James Earl Jones narration.
This movie was cool but 2012 Dredd was SO underrated
I think they're both underrated. Both are flawed. Combined they make a perfect film.
I'd love to see old Dredd (Stallone) open, close and narrate the movie while we see it acted out by young Dredd (Urban).
Can you sin Idiocracy for being way to true now?
I can't believe you missed the speeded up scene of the hover bike racing through traffic. Look out for it. It's funny :)
“Dredd” deserves a sequel. This one deserves to vanish from Earth and people’s memories.
Karl Urban gets it. Sly does not. Literally the only bit of this movie that I didn't hate was when "I got to say oh look, ABC Warriors!" And it lasted less time than it takes to say that line out loud.
Something very important to point out as well: in the sequel, a Scott Ian cameo is imperative.
The biggest flaw was that Stallone showed too much emotion.
"They were the Police, Jury and Executioner all in one."
Jeremy: " Sooo. Cops?
Perfecto.
Since when do cops judge and execute criminals on the spot without a trial?
@@zaltmanbleroze Been in America long or what?
Every time Diane Lane shows up in the video, I loose count of your sin count. She looked great in this movie.
