i know lol as a fan i had only seen the trailer a week prior to release, so no wonder it was not a money maker! it was incredible as well, if they marketed it appropriately it could have made them some good money!
I see it like this I feel like You have no idea how good that makes me feel. I didn’t read them in my youth either and wanna read both Dredd and Batman.
Dude this is awesome,Judge Dredd is my childhood hero,I collected hundreds of 2000AD magazine I had them stored in cornflakes boxes and wrapped in duct tape to protect them and THEN is a large cardboard box under the stairs. I moved out of my parents house,what do you think the first thing my mom said when I left?"Oh he's moved out now,he won't want these dusty old comics that cost over $1000,let's just throw them in the bin". I visited my parents a few weeks later and wow,nothing under the stairs tears rolled down my cheek as I remembered Dredd's gravely voice screaming into the desert of the Apocalypse "This Cursed Earth will not break me!"God dammit,before you move out TAKE EVERYTHING OF VALUE WITH YOU,parents are worse than nuclear holocausts.
glad you liked it man! my childhood hero too :) really glad the video was so well received. ugh no way they threw them out?!?!?!? thats insane :( i feel your pain, i recently had to go to my storage and collect my comic collection to avoid it being lost!
I've known about Judge Dredd since at least the mid-90s, but never really took the time to sit down and read up on him. I would love nothing more than to see you make as many videos as you like about him! I love what little lore I know of that universe!
I started reading 2000AD from issue 1 back in 1977, every Saturday for well over a decade was me waiting for that comic to drop through the letter box. I used to enjoy the tongue in cheek block names that the writers would use, often satirical pokes at celebs or society in general. Judge Anderson was definitely a geek pinup when I was growing up.
Hell yes I'm aware of Judge Dredd. He's one of the greatest characters ever created and after seeing Dredd 3d I started collecting the case files and have been hooked ever since. Amazing stories in an amazing setting, I highly recommend it to anyone unaware. Please do more!
well the Dare Devil was awesome when Frank Castle joined and they did a great job with him. Now that he has his own spin off let's see how that goes before we start asking for Dredd. I myself would like to see how far they are willing to push the Punisher before i make any attempts on asking foe Dredd, Frank is a man with no law and no regard to how he see's the job done. If it becomes too PC to get more views then Dredd will fallow suit and I don't know about you but this is a comic that can fall flat if made too soft. i can understand if they need to change a thing or two to pass the high up's on the table of Netflix but i hope they go over the top with it so that they can have the best of his story, like Alfred Hitchcock did in Psycho or Matt and Tray in Southpark the movie and not just for Punisher but also Dredd. at lest that's what I think.
I'm Dublin born and bred, we didn't get Marvel or DC in our newsagents. We got 2000AD, the Eagle, The Tiger and the funnies. Do Rogue Trooper, do Strontium Dog, the Four Dark Judges, Anderson, Boing, Slainè. It's all our pop culture this side of the pond :D
I'm an American Judge Dredd fan. I collected comics back in the 1980's and 1990's. Around 1993 I found a shop that was selling a bunch of new and used items, some of them were Marvel UK titles like Dethlok, Super Soldiers and U.S. Agent. However they also had a huge stash of back issue comics they were selling for $0.25 each and that is when I met Judge Dredd. There were many early issues that I picked up. At first it took me an issue or two to really get into it but after that I was hooked. I'm not sure how many issues I have but, I considered myself a fan. I found a script for an unproduced script for the movie but when the film came out with Stallone, I felt let down. They incorporated so much of the comic but the studio got it all wrong. Then in 2012 the studio got it right but marketed it all wrong.... I heard about the Judge Dredd Mega City One Series and I have been waiting for years for these guys to give us more. It's alright that it's taken a few years, as long as we get more Mega City One and Dredd. I do like your videos, even though I've read these issues, you make it fun to revisit them. Thanks man
thanks for this upload bruv, Judge Dredd is one of my Top Ten all-time favourite comic characters. and being British myself holds a special place for me too, as my father introduced me to him when I was in my early teens.
Back in the 90s I used the think Judge Dredd was usually the 2nd best strip in the comic, because they had a lot of good strips back then. Now I have started reading 2000 AD again, I think he's the best.
I wouldn't say he is the best, but I would say he is most consitantly the best. My favourite stories in 2000AD are not Judge Dredd. Their are 2 storylines before we hit Dredd that I like. Song of the surfer and The ballad of Halo Jones. Then Block Mania and the Pit. Love 2000AD
Always great to see a fellow 2000AD and Dredd fan. My first exposure to the comic and Judge Dredd was when my dad bought me Prog 223 in the summer of 81 priced 15p! Been hooked ever since. Hope to see coverage of my all time fave 2000AD strip- the A.B.C. Warriors in the near future, also would love you to do features on Strontium Dog, Rogue Trooper and Slaine too.
I was never obsessed with comics growing up, but the few that I had included Judge Dredd, along with Bad company and rogue trooper. I didn't consistently read the comics so I missed out on the stories, but I bought them for dark art style. it's a guilty pleasure...I like stallone judge dredd, but at the time I was just greatful in my childhood that a judge dredd movie even existed in the first place. you're spot on, the new Dredd movie has opened the door for some true potential. I would like see more content regarding dredd on your channel, reviewing the stories, expanding on the little details etc. best of luck.
DROKK!!! Dredd kicks ass! I don't think any comic channel has done a Dredd "Necropolis" episode. That story line was nuts. There's nothing like a Dredd story. From the crazy futuristic stupid trends, to Pa Angel's "heavy duty pizzenin' pizzen" lol, you never know what to expect except that Joe keeps on bustin perps
+Staff Sergeant Drew Matseshe drokk indeed! I have a judge death video coming out, was just kind of testing the waters as to the interest then planning on delving into specific storylines :) thank you for the sub man!!! Appreciate it!
Hey Mr. H. Just wanted to say thanks for getting me deeper into Dredd. I saw the 1995 film years ago and recently rewatched it and the 2012 film, and now I'm going to start reading the comics since you've sparked my interest . Keep up the great work and thanks again.
I am a new fan of Judge Dredd, and the only media of him I have is the 1995 movie that I am watching tommorow (as of this post) so I will be taking a nostolgis five through your videos, thanks for the awesome content!
Would love to see more Dredd related videos. My first experience with Dredd is when i when to a comic shope when i was a small boy and opened up a compendium to a story about a robot uprising and all judges were dispatched throughout mega city 1. Ive been a huge fan ever since.
May the mighty machines of war once more rise i kinda grew up with alot of out of the way stuff animes movies comics that people in america kinda didnt really care to much about or show intrest in till lately but i guess thats the joy of being a texan who started with Warhammer 40k you get a massive universe opened to your eyes
I am a huge fan dredd so I would be very happy to see you talk about him more. I also would like to see a video on the dark judges I believe they are called.
My first intro to Dredd was in the PlayStation2 game witch I still have and play to this day. It also got me into comic book collecting having the full story line on the Dark Judges being my favorites.
I have been a Judge Dredd/ 2000ad fan since 1984 when I was in the US Navy and read my first Titan book about Dredd and was hooked hunting down all the different stories from Fleetway and Quality comic's and occasionally finding copies of 2000AD. In 1992 I made a Judge Dredd costume for a convention in Orlando called Magicon92 wish I had photos. I enjoyed both movies but the Carl Urban one is the best.
If both Dredd movies fused then we would have the perfect Dredd movie! Attitude, grit and characters form the new Dredd with the costume / city design of the old Dredd!
American here. Its been a long time since I read some Dredd. Last thing I remember was maybe a robot uprising or something? Also, I thought Urban did a great job as Dredd, Stallone didn't do terribly, as you said, "product of its time". I definitely agree to that statement. All that said, I do not possess near the knowledge of the subject that you do! Subbed! Keep it up man!
The first time I watched Judge Dredd, was when I my moved to Australia in 1998. I couldn't understand English back then, but it is still my favourite movie of all time. it's hard to the comics where I live. But the ones I do have, I keep them in plastic sleeves. Keep up the work mate.
Nail on the head again my friend, I'm also a huge fan of the 2000AD comics and Judge Dredd and completely agree with the Karl Urban Dredd portrayal, it will forever be a classic movie and the definitive movie version of Judge Dredd for me.
yes please more dredd and other 2000 ad characters, i remember buying the first issue for i think 8 pence it came with a free throwing disc and then the second issue had bionic stickers , its had some great characters over the years and epic stories . great video mr H i look forward to more dredd ,a big thumbs up from me.
Great job. My older brother used to get 2000ad I remember seeing the artwork when I was 7 or 8 and being really amazed. Never seen it in Ireland after that though.
Living in the states I was first introduced to Dredd when I was in grade 4 by the song "I am the Law" by Anthrax in 1987. I have been a fan ever since, though my collection is lacking sadly.I have always looked up to Dredd. :)
I was introduced to Dredd in 1986-87 due to the heavy metal band Anthrax and their song "I am the Law" as they are Dredd fans. I picked up my first US edition comic back then and have LOVED Dredd ever since. I still have those original comics and now read them and other issues digitally. I enjoyed the 1995 movie for its "comic accuracy", but was highly disappointed when Stallone removed his helmet. Dredd's face is not meant to be seen! I also did not like how they used another actor to portray his brother Rico. I would've preferred that Stallone play duel roles. I also wished more time was spent with the Angel Gang, but given it was done in 1995, I enjoyed the movie back then and still do. Now the 2012 version, I LOVE!!! Karl Urban nailed it! HE IS DREDD! Olivia also rocked the part of a young Anderson. In that movie, I was disappointed in the overall depiction of Mega-City 1, as it was too spread out. Mega Cities are meant to be highly developed and packed in tight. Almost claustrophobic, and I am still hit & miss about the bike design. I would've preferred something movie akin to the comic. Regardless I love the movie and watch it often. I hope they do more with Dredd in the future, possibly with Judge Death.
My cousin had a copy of the cursed earth arc when I was a kid. I lived in England in the 80's. and been trying to start collecting Dreed here in the us since
I am not a comic readr, not because I dislike comics, I'm just more visual and prefer lie action or animated media, but I'd love to hear more about the lore of Dredd on your channel. Also, since you seem to be expanding to more monsters and characters, may I suggest you look into the Kothoga monster from the movie "Relic". I find the monster's background, abilities and shape to be rather interesting, so you may too. Have a good one and keep up the great work on your videos!
Karl Urban is my favorite Kiwi actor as I'm kiwi myself..the way he embodied Dredd was a thing of beauty..shame they didn't do a follow up on it and bring in Rico.. Keep up the Dredd talk..as he is one of my top 5 characters of the 2000AD Universe..
Your videos are really great, and your voice over is so very fitting for the material. Could you go into the Street Judge's armor a little bit? I'm only familiar with the movies and your videos, but the level of protection it offers seems to vary considerably... Cheers!
I came across Dredd when I went to a used hand me down store had comics at that time I was about ten or so and thought I was a comic artist I from so Judge Dredd books and was shocked at how good the book was. Mind you I was from a small country town in Virginia so finding out about a British comic at ten years old was amazing and still is
My first memory of Judge Dredd is actually from the Sega Genesis video game. I can't remember if it was actually good, I remember loving it and it being as tough as balls.
I'll never understand why they haven't made a Dredd vs Judge Death movie, it would be perfect for the big screen. Not to mention that it even has a part 2 ready to be made if it were needed. All they'd have to do is just expand whats already in the damn comic book lol
+Snotmerchant ..........because Hollywood can't be distracted from putting out quality movies that they think we should like; you know things such as Fate of the Furious :-(
Snotmerchant thr problem is the setup. The movie would be targeted towards the general public, most of which don't even know that Dredd is a comic, just knowing him from the Stallone movie and Karl Urban.A new Dredd movie suddenly showing ghosts and undead judges would throw so many never before seen or even talked about in universe supernatural elements that it would completely destroy it. Basically it would be the Dredd version of the Dark Crystal.
to answer the question at the end of the vid I'm an American and I've read (some of) the 2000ad comics. They're really amazing, some of the best and arguably even with outlandish soft sci/fi concepts like mutants and psionics, realistic cyberpunk/dystopian sci/fi I've seen. What sets them apart is that they leave the science rubbery but the sociology is spot-on. You feel like Mega-City One could BECOME a real city because unlike many sci/fi worlds the people, well, they act a lot like we do now. Realistic science and unrealistic motivations is a LOT harder to sell than realistic people and realistic character arcs against a backdrop with squishy science. People sometimes draw comparisons between Judge Dredd's fictional universe and Transmetropolitan. I dig why, they're both primarily political polemics told via dystopian near-future comics-- morality tales with a very explicit political bent. But where Transmetropolitan always seems like it's taking on trope caricatures of what politicians and the populace actually are, the Dredd works feature a level of mundane motivation and realism that make them more effective in my opinion. There is also a level of nuance that elevates Judge Dredd, because the judges are not cartoonish straw men for corrupt cops, and their leadership (while often doing questionable acts) is not a caricature set up specifically TO push a political agenda (unlike another other law and order comic icon The Punisher, whose world seems specifically constructed to be the perfect place to push a "vigilantism is awesome!' message). In fact you can have some REAL intense discussions about the nature of Law and the role of Government using Mega-City One as a stand-in, because the judges are, arguably, necessary, crime IS a problem and innocents ARE at risk in this universe. In short, I think that it's probably one of the sharpest-constructed and best-written dystopian sci/fi series in history, with a level of "I can see it happening here" that is often unnerving. Though a lot of the last part is the fact I'm American I'm sure. 2000AD and the Dredd fictional universe are set up specifically to lampoon the excesses of American culture and politics, so part of the unnerving realism is from that. To answer the other question, my first exposure was the first Hollywood movie, I was 10 when it came out and it was a pretty legit action sci/fi movie for a burgeoning cyberpunk, it was my first real exposure to that type of setting and for that I'm grateful (Face it a 10 year old is not going to sit through Blade Runner, as gorgeous as it is it's too slow for a kid that age that wants robots and explosions). After that I was a little older when I started hanging out in Comic Shops and picked up 2000ad. I think it was two years later because it was the Judgement Day arc. I also quite liked the series (is that what you'd call the various sub-stories in 2000ad?) Button Man. I remember about that time a series with cybernetic dinosaurs that struck me as simply too over-the-top to be taken seriously, even at 13 years old.
Never got into Dredd. I have a Vol.1 Collection that I haven't read as well as the Dredd vs Death game for PC that I haven't played. Would love to see more content about Dredd given your passion and apparent knowledge of the comic.
I'm from the States and I would LOVE to see more Dredd videos....I follow your Alien/Predator videos on a daily basis! Please do some Dredd stories, especially those with the Dark Judges!!!
I just started collecting Dredd comics because of the 2012 movie. He's quickly become a favourite of mine. I'd love to see more videos on the Dredd verse
Read a lot of 2000AD as I lived in NY and could get it at certain stores Manhattan. My friend turned me on to the series and I read many stories and the Judge Death story lines.
You think with most of the planet being barren, that they would build solar farm across the planet, and build underground as well! It is me or did humanity stop thinking, Megacities are just asking for riots!
I've been reading Dredd since the late 80s. I agree with you, Karl Urban's Dredd was a perfect rendition. The only thing I found missing was the truly British subtle thumbing of the nose at Americana that Dredd and his universe has been so adept at. I've heard rumblings of Urban being amenable to a Netflix series of Dredd. That would be truly amazing!
The band Anthrax was my first introduction to Judge Dredd. I haven't read as much as I would like, but I've loved what I've read. I really enjoyed Karl Urban's take on the Judge, and was really hoping for more.
Judge Dredd is easily my favorite comic book character. My first experience was with the Trifecta crossover which was in turn my first 2000AD comics. I have since gone back and even own some of the old Eagle comics. Dredd is definitely a fantastic read.
I would personally love to see more about Judge Dredd. My first exposure was unfortunately the Sly Stallone version, though I loved the second movie for its visuals and the fact that it was more true to the source material. Please keep up the good work.
Hey Bill!! glad to see you're enjoying the branch out in content, had a lot of trepidation prior to beginning different videos lol, so its nice to see the response :) lots more of this universe to come, working on a bunch now actually and finished a new one last night.
My first experience was when I was a kid and my mom would take me to a used book store. There I would look for comics and one day I found a stack of Dredd comics. The first issue I saw was one of the issues of The Cursed Earth series and I fell in love with it
Awesome, yes. More Dredd please. We did have his comics here in the U.S but not all. would love to know more. Judge Death, Rico, the mutants. Was Anderson the only mutant Judge? The other Mega cities. All of it. Thanks.
I know it is available on some comic book fansites, I would still love to have someone restore the Burger Wars story arc back to the Cursed Earth saga back to print.
Judge Anderson was NOT a mutant or she would have been exiled from the city. She was a psionic, not unknown in Mega City one. There is a Justice Dept Divison of Pyskers and also psionic criminals and other super natural threats to mega City One.
As an American I was introduced to Dredd via that crappy 90s movies. But I liked the idea and soon found the comics and... the novels. I've read almost every Dredd novel.
I love the addition of Anderson in the 2012 flic. She adds perfect balance to the team and I would love to hear more about both characters. Its an excellent movie that I'd love to hear more about...
Oh so Anderson's character isn't in the comic book? I wouldn't know that as a Im not a comic reader. Even if Anderson's character isn't covered, I'll still be a loyal viewer if your videos, I love your take on these movies.
Thanks for introducing so many of these characters. I watched the Carl Urban movie and thought it was an amazing return to form for action movies in general and something that should be emulated. I also read the classic original Batman/ Dredd crossover from the 90s but have never dove into the character before. Looks like I have a lot of catching up to do.
The new Dredd film was fun. Shame no one told them they should market it.
True. The marketing was terrible. I remember it being called Dredd 3D which makes it sound cheesy like Jaws 3D or something...
i know lol as a fan i had only seen the trailer a week prior to release, so no wonder it was not a money maker! it was incredible as well, if they marketed it appropriately it could have made them some good money!
To true Mr H to true
Mr H Reviews it would have been what the new marvel movies are.
I regret not seeing it in theaters. The trailer was pretty bad, which is why I didn't see it.
I dunno why Dredd flopped. The movie is perfect. Carl Urban nailed it.
Listening Point dammit jim i'm judge not a doctor!
Listening Point the movie itself was amazing. The only problem was that they didn't advertise the movie very well.
It was very badly marketed. A lot of people weren't even aware of it.
Many Cult Movies are commercial flops but are found years later and called Classics.
I think alot of people avoided it because of the garbage that was Stallone's Dredd movie, I almost did too.
They should do a Netflix series about Dredd
That would be so awesome. Instead they put out crap like that new Netflix series about a bullied teenager...
Is Trump really Robert L Booth now that's a scary thought.
DumplingDelivery like the 2012 movie
I was thinking the same
DumplingDelivery god no. they would fuck it up with sjw crap.
Whoever said that the 2012 Judge Dredd film was stupid deserves to be locked in an Iso-Cube for 20 years!
TheAngeluco Karl was perfect
TheAngeluco because I'm the law
I mean - he is a little bit of a fascist
2012 Dredd - 1995 Judge Dredd
@milster Old comment, but he is fascist as fuck mate.
Don't get me wrong I like it, but he and his government are fascists
Carl Urban was amazing, I hope we see more of him as Dredd.
Never read the comic, but enjoyed the Karl Urban film
I see it like this I feel like You have no idea how good that makes me feel. I didn’t read them in my youth either and wanna read both Dredd and Batman.
@Judge Dredd Understood Judge, I'm sorry for my crime.
Dude this is awesome,Judge Dredd is my childhood hero,I collected hundreds of 2000AD magazine I had them stored in cornflakes boxes and wrapped in duct tape to protect them and THEN is a large cardboard box under the stairs. I moved out of my parents house,what do you think the first thing my mom said when I left?"Oh he's moved out now,he won't want these dusty old comics that cost over $1000,let's just throw them in the bin".

glad you liked it man! my childhood hero too :) really glad the video was so well received. ugh no way they threw them out?!?!?!? thats insane :( i feel your pain, i recently had to go to my storage and collect my comic collection to avoid it being lost!
Parents and siblings. I went for a tour in the army and my little brother had a field day with all of my stuff

A Dredd Netflix series anyone?
+eezaak21 I would explode if that happens. It should
Me
A Dredd Netflix series would be great. And if they couldnt get Karl Urban to portray him again they already cast a perfect Dredd as The Punisher.
Only if it's rated R
well the Dare Devil was awesome when Frank Castle joined and they did a great job with him. Now that he has his own spin off let's see how that goes before we start asking for Dredd. I myself would like to see how far they are willing to push the Punisher before i make any attempts on asking foe Dredd, Frank is a man with no law and no regard to how he see's the job done.

I am a huge fan dredd so I would be very happy to see you talk about him more. I also would like to see a video on the dark judges I believe they are called.
the crime is life, the sentence is death ;)
Mr H Reviews Also keep up the great work man!
You have shown some stunning artwork of Dredd in this video Mr H.
My first intro to Dredd was in the PlayStation2 game witch I still have and play to this day. It also got me into comic book collecting having the full story line on the Dark Judges being my favorites.
great video the Dredd movie i saw was the one that came out a few years back and i loved it so underrated sadly
I have been a Judge Dredd/ 2000ad fan since 1984 when I was in the US Navy and read my first Titan book about Dredd and was hooked hunting down all the different stories from Fleetway and Quality comic's and occasionally finding copies of 2000AD. In 1992 I made a Judge Dredd costume for a convention in Orlando called Magicon92 wish I had photos. I enjoyed both movies but the Carl Urban one is the best.
Judge Dredd is one of my favorite characters EVER.
Also a subscriber from Texas.
Good shit; you just earned a sub. Been reading Dredd since childhood. Would love to see an ep on the VC's since we're all fans of 2000ad
+Shauddi lots more coming dude :) just been inundated with alien covenant content at the moment
"I am the law."This line is fantastic.
If both Dredd movies fused then we would have the perfect Dredd movie! Attitude, grit and characters form the new Dredd with the costume / city design of the old Dredd!
I love Dred! More please!
I look forward to seeing just about anything you want to review.
American here. Its been a long time since I read some Dredd. Last thing I remember was maybe a robot uprising or something? Also, I thought Urban did a great job as Dredd, Stallone didn't do terribly, as you said, "product of its time". I definitely agree to that statement. All that said, I do not possess near the knowledge of the subject that you do! Subbed! Keep it up man!
The first time I watched Judge Dredd, was when I my moved to Australia in 1998. I couldn't understand English back then, but it is still my favourite movie of all time. it's hard to the comics where I live. But the ones I do have, I keep them in plastic sleeves. Keep up the work mate.
I live in the U.S. and I was first introduced to Judge Dread in the mid 80's. Also a big fan of the song "I am the Law" by Anthrax.
Nail on the head again my friend, I'm also a huge fan of the 2000AD comics and Judge Dredd and completely agree with the Karl Urban Dredd portrayal, it will forever be a classic movie and the definitive movie version of Judge Dredd for me.
yes please more dredd and other 2000 ad characters, i remember buying the first issue for i think 8 pence it came with a free throwing disc and then the second issue had bionic stickers , its had some great characters over the years and epic stories . great video mr H i look forward to more dredd ,a big thumbs up from me.
Thank you so much Mr. H. This is the coolest video not relating to the aliens and predator films. this is so cool!!!! you are the best.
lol thanks buddy! glad you enjoyed it
john Gavin to be fair Dredd has fought aliens and a predator
Joshua Edwards yep i remember seeing a few of the comics
Great job. My older brother used to get 2000ad I remember seeing the artwork when I was 7 or 8 and being really amazed. Never seen it in Ireland after that though.
Don't give up mr.H ! The people need the info . Cheers mate
+perezp8 lol. Never giving up,released two dredd videos since this one
I enjoyed both versions of the Judge Dredd movies. Still do.
This is a good summary of one of my favourite comic characters. How about Andersson next? I just love how she and Dredd interact.
please do more in depth of dredd love this segment keep it up!
+Ben Grimm lots more on the wau
Mr H Reviews awesome and thank you =)
I absolutely LOVE the Closed Captioning: Useless T. Fargo, LOL
Love Judge Dredd! Have you read the Dredd vs Predator and Dredd vs Aliens crossover comics?
Living in the states I was first introduced to Dredd when I was in grade 4 by the song "I am the Law" by Anthrax in 1987. I have been a fan ever since, though my collection is lacking sadly.I have always looked up to Dredd. :)
We need a Judge Dredd open world video game
I've actually started my Dredd sleeve on my right arm. Dude Jude dredd is the shit here in the states. Love your vids bud
Awesome. love the content Mr. H
thank you man :)
Thank you for Dredd!!!
you're welcome dude
'Ever thought about writing your-own movie script for a 'Judge Dredd' film?
Love Dredd we need a sequel to the 2012 Dredd movie it needs to happen.
So looking forward to you delving into the Dredd universe.
thanks man! glad its been received the way it has! more coming!
I was introduced to Dredd in 1986-87 due to the heavy metal band Anthrax and their song "I am the Law" as they are Dredd fans. I picked up my first US edition comic back then and have LOVED Dredd ever since. I still have those original comics and now read them and other issues digitally. I enjoyed the 1995 movie for its "comic accuracy", but was highly disappointed when Stallone removed his helmet. Dredd's face is not meant to be seen! I also did not like how they used another actor to portray his brother Rico. I would've preferred that Stallone play duel roles. I also wished more time was spent with the Angel Gang, but given it was done in 1995, I enjoyed the movie back then and still do. Now the 2012 version, I LOVE!!! Karl Urban nailed it! HE IS DREDD! Olivia also rocked the part of a young Anderson. In that movie, I was disappointed in the overall depiction of Mega-City 1, as it was too spread out. Mega Cities are meant to be highly developed and packed in tight. Almost claustrophobic, and I am still hit & miss about the bike design. I would've preferred something movie akin to the comic. Regardless I love the movie and watch it often. I hope they do more with Dredd in the future, possibly with Judge Death.
Judge Dredd is very popular here in the U.S.. I've been a reader since 1983 and with some notable exceptions, I've been a pretty loyal follower.
My cousin had a copy of the cursed earth arc when I was a kid. I lived in England in the 80's. and been trying to start collecting Dreed here in the us since
I am not a comic readr, not because I dislike comics, I'm just more visual and prefer lie action or animated media, but I'd love to hear more about the lore of Dredd on your channel.
Also, since you seem to be expanding to more monsters and characters, may I suggest you look into the Kothoga monster from the movie "Relic". I find the monster's background, abilities and shape to be rather interesting, so you may too.
Have a good one and keep up the great work on your videos!
I love that 2000 AD is done in real time. Its rare to see that in comics.
Karl Urban is my favorite Kiwi actor as I'm kiwi myself..the way he embodied Dredd was a thing of beauty..shame they didn't do a follow up on it and bring in Rico..
Keep up the Dredd talk..as he is one of my top 5 characters of the 2000AD Universe..
Your videos are really great, and your voice over is so very fitting for the material. Could you go into the Street Judge's armor a little bit? I'm only familiar with the movies and your videos, but the level of protection it offers seems to vary considerably... Cheers!
i am aware of dredd as a Canadian thanks to anthrax actually hopefully you know the song
I came across Dredd when I went to a used hand me down store had comics at that time I was about ten or so and thought I was a comic artist I from so Judge Dredd books and was shocked at how good the book was. Mind you I was from a small country town in Virginia so finding out about a British comic at ten years old was amazing and still is
the problem is they dont include the entire world of dredd in the movies.
My first memory of Judge Dredd is actually from the Sega Genesis video game. I can't remember if it was actually good, I remember loving it and it being as tough as balls.
I'll never understand why they haven't made a Dredd vs Judge Death movie, it would be perfect for the big screen. Not to mention that it even has a part 2 ready to be made if it were needed. All they'd have to do is just expand whats already in the damn comic book lol
completely agree!
Snotmerchant not enough audience
+Snotmerchant ..........because Hollywood can't be distracted from putting out quality movies that they think we should like; you know things such as Fate of the Furious :-(
Snotmerchant thr problem is the setup. The movie would be targeted towards the general public, most of which don't even know that Dredd is a comic, just knowing him from the Stallone movie and Karl Urban.A new Dredd movie suddenly showing ghosts and undead judges would throw so many never before seen or even talked about in universe supernatural elements that it would completely destroy it. Basically it would be the Dredd version of the Dark Crystal.
If they would have properly marketed the 2012 film they could have launched a trilogy and finished it with death.
I have the first two volumes in my room. My Dad introduced me as he was an reader of 2000AD in Dredd's early days.
to answer the question at the end of the vid I'm an American and I've read (some of) the 2000ad comics.
They're really amazing, some of the best and arguably even with outlandish soft sci/fi concepts like mutants and psionics, realistic cyberpunk/dystopian sci/fi I've seen. What sets them apart is that they leave the science rubbery but the sociology is spot-on. You feel like Mega-City One could BECOME a real city because unlike many sci/fi worlds the people, well, they act a lot like we do now. Realistic science and unrealistic motivations is a LOT harder to sell than realistic people and realistic character arcs against a backdrop with squishy science.
People sometimes draw comparisons between Judge Dredd's fictional universe and Transmetropolitan. I dig why, they're both primarily political polemics told via dystopian near-future comics-- morality tales with a very explicit political bent. But where Transmetropolitan always seems like it's taking on trope caricatures of what politicians and the populace actually are, the Dredd works feature a level of mundane motivation and realism that make them more effective in my opinion. There is also a level of nuance that elevates Judge Dredd, because the judges are not cartoonish straw men for corrupt cops, and their leadership (while often doing questionable acts) is not a caricature set up specifically TO push a political agenda (unlike another other law and order comic icon The Punisher, whose world seems specifically constructed to be the perfect place to push a "vigilantism is awesome!' message). In fact you can have some REAL intense discussions about the nature of Law and the role of Government using Mega-City One as a stand-in, because the judges are, arguably, necessary, crime IS a problem and innocents ARE at risk in this universe.
In short, I think that it's probably one of the sharpest-constructed and best-written dystopian sci/fi series in history, with a level of "I can see it happening here" that is often unnerving.
Though a lot of the last part is the fact I'm American I'm sure. 2000AD and the Dredd fictional universe are set up specifically to lampoon the excesses of American culture and politics, so part of the unnerving realism is from that.
To answer the other question, my first exposure was the first Hollywood movie, I was 10 when it came out and it was a pretty legit action sci/fi movie for a burgeoning cyberpunk, it was my first real exposure to that type of setting and for that I'm grateful (Face it a 10 year old is not going to sit through Blade Runner, as gorgeous as it is it's too slow for a kid that age that wants robots and explosions). After that I was a little older when I started hanging out in Comic Shops and picked up 2000ad. I think it was two years later because it was the Judgement Day arc. I also quite liked the series (is that what you'd call the various sub-stories in 2000ad?) Button Man. I remember about that time a series with cybernetic dinosaurs that struck me as simply too over-the-top to be taken seriously, even at 13 years old.
Never got into Dredd. I have a Vol.1 Collection that I haven't read as well as the Dredd vs Death game for PC that I haven't played. Would love to see more content about Dredd given your passion and apparent knowledge of the comic.
I'm from the States and I would LOVE to see more Dredd videos....I follow your Alien/Predator videos on a daily basis! Please do some Dredd stories, especially those with the Dark Judges!!!
I just started collecting Dredd comics because of the 2012 movie. He's quickly become a favourite of mine. I'd love to see more videos on the Dredd verse
Had picture drawn and signed by John higgins yesterday, delighted!
Read a lot of 2000AD as I lived in NY and could get it at certain stores Manhattan. My friend turned me on to the series and I read many stories and the Judge Death story lines.
Yeah, more lore on judge dredd would be lit. Also, have you read dredd underbelly and uprise?
You think with most of the planet being barren, that they would build solar farm across the planet, and build underground as well! It is me or did humanity stop thinking, Megacities are just asking for riots!
Well I mean... It's impossible to create something that massive and costly considering that the world was just experiencing a nuclear armageddon.
Those barren areas are highly radioactive and infested with resentful mutants.
I love it. He's essentially _their_ Captain America.
i have watched DREDD at least 50 times since its release and it doesnt get old, if anything I enjoy it more each time.
I've been reading Dredd since the late 80s. I agree with you, Karl Urban's Dredd was a perfect rendition. The only thing I found missing was the truly British subtle thumbing of the nose at Americana that Dredd and his universe has been so adept at. I've heard rumblings of Urban being amenable to a Netflix series of Dredd. That would be truly amazing!
The band Anthrax was my first introduction to Judge Dredd. I haven't read as much as I would like, but I've loved what I've read. I really enjoyed Karl Urban's take on the Judge, and was really hoping for more.
Justice has a price
The price is freedom.
Judge Dredd is easily my favorite comic book character. My first experience was with the Trifecta crossover which was in turn my first 2000AD comics. I have since gone back and even own some of the old Eagle comics. Dredd is definitely a fantastic read.
I would personally love to see more about Judge Dredd. My first exposure was unfortunately the Sly Stallone version, though I loved the second movie for its visuals and the fact that it was more true to the source material. Please keep up the good work.
Hey Bill!! glad to see you're enjoying the branch out in content, had a lot of trepidation prior to beginning different videos lol, so its nice to see the response :) lots more of this universe to come, working on a bunch now actually and finished a new one last night.
Predator vs Judge Dredd was another phenomenal cross-over comic lol. Absolutely loved that comic!
My first experience was when I was a kid and my mom would take me to a used book store. There I would look for comics and one day I found a stack of Dredd comics. The first issue I saw was one of the issues of The Cursed Earth series and I fell in love with it
Beyond the two movies, I know little about Dredd but I would love to watch and learn more!
more coming :)
Canadian here. recently I started buying the black and white versions of The Complete Case files books. they're a great price, usually about 20 bucks.
Awesome, yes. More Dredd please. We did have his comics here in the U.S but not all. would love to know more. Judge Death, Rico, the mutants. Was Anderson the only mutant Judge? The other Mega cities. All of it. Thanks.
written a bunch more just editing them :) glad the newer content is being so well received!
I know it is available on some comic book fansites, I would still love to have someone restore the Burger Wars story arc back to the Cursed Earth saga back to print.
Judge Anderson was NOT a mutant or she would have been exiled from the city. She was a psionic, not unknown in Mega City one. There is a Justice Dept Divison of Pyskers and also psionic criminals and other super natural threats to mega City One.
As an American I was introduced to Dredd via that crappy 90s movies. But I liked the idea and soon found the comics and... the novels. I've read almost every Dredd novel.
I love the addition of Anderson in the 2012 flic. She adds perfect balance to the team and I would love to hear more about both characters. Its an excellent movie that I'd love to hear more about...
loved the movie, but will be delving more into the comic side of things which inspired the movie :)
Oh so Anderson's character isn't in the comic book? I wouldn't know that as a Im not a comic reader. Even if Anderson's character isn't covered, I'll still be a loyal viewer if your videos, I love your take on these movies.
oh no sorry, yeah she is, she's a really old character!
Maybe I should give the comic books a look and I' ll know more about the Dredd story.
Thanks for introducing so many of these characters. I watched the Carl Urban movie and thought it was an amazing return to form for action movies in general and something that should be emulated. I also read the classic original Batman/ Dredd crossover from the 90s but have never dove into the character before. Looks like I have a lot of catching up to do.
Hopefully we can get a movie or Netflix series this guy deserves one!
I loved Dredd 2012!!! I do wish they'd do a sequel! Surely Karl Urban would want to return for that!
