Funny, I just watched Dredd and then the Stallone Judge Dredd. I like what they were doing with Dredd (2012) but Judge Dredd (1995) has a better city and wackier funtime action.
Consider adding Demolition Man to your shelf.
Yeah, see, I think Judge Dredd (1995) could be quite decent movie. It has the right idea, or at least, many small ok ideas strewn across the movie. I only know little about Judge Dredd comic but I understand stupidities like Stalone posing as Dredd without helmet, but I also appreciate that distopic, oh-so-90's Megacity 1 design. But back a few years ago when I watched this movie again (or for the first time? Can't remember), I also spotted one of the banes of 90's movies - comic side-kick.
If there's one thing Judge Dredd could do without it's...that guy. I might watch it again soon for good/awful-times' sake though.
Hah, yeah, Demolition man. Fun movie. But from what I remember, I'd put Street Fighter way above it. Somehow, a lot of Sly's 90's movies have just that...strange feeling of directors trying to build a movie around the star but manage to forget to add just that little bit of flavor during the process. Well, not something movie industry would shy away from, especially in 90's, at least in my opinion.
But, dunno, currently, Street Fighter really stands above many such movies. It's just so...whimsical.
I mean, first time you see JCVD - he what, starts by throwing mean looks and then obscenities at the camera. Bison is an over the top dictator wannabe just like an evil mastermind from your favorite spy movie from 60's (with a hat for every occasion, heck, I bet they'd squeezed a man's length wide wardrobe devoted entirely for cloaks off the camera), ALL Zangief scenes are just pure gold and don't let me get started on those occasional silliness like "Napolen crossing the Alps" reference and things like that.
Street Fighter from 1994.
"For me it was Tuesday." Quite possibly the best line ever delivered.
Yes, that's exactly what I'm talking about. It's positively hilarious.
I love this movie.
Mortal Kombat tomorrow I guess.
