Also, I didn't know about Taco Bell or Pizza Hut when I watched it, but the name "Taco Bell" told me it's a taco place and John Spartan's reaction to the leader of the strange future inviting him there told me, that John knew it as being a sort of fastfood joint or at least not anything high class. It's not that everyone is a moron, it's just that movie makers operate on the assumption that we are.

    Both Rambo and Rocky will surprise you if you only think of Stallone as an action star. He's actually quite an impressive actor, but he was type cast almost immediately as an "action star" so that's what people are most familiar with him for. If you want to see him in something more dramatic, check out Cop Land (1997). It's a good film in general, but you'll also get to see Stallone's acting ability.

      for Snipes: Passenger 57, US Marshalls (if you haven't watched The Fugitive with Tommy Lee Jones and Harrison Ford, I would STRONGLY recommend THAT film), New Jack City, Drop Zone, Rising Sun, The Art of War

    The censored TV version of this, was one of the few 15+ movies I was allowed to watch as a kid, because I was obsessed with Sandra Bullock and Sci Fi, so its like a core memory from my childhood. Glad you enjoyed it!!
    If you're ever after another Sandy B film, 28 Days is a hugely underrated film of hers that deserves more attention and Alan Tudyks performance completely steals the show!!

    The reason why these scenes take so long is because directors like to shoot every scene from every possible angle, review it and see which angle he likes the best. In between the review process , cameras, tracks and lighting have to be moved and readjusted. It takes up a lot of time.

      Doesn't matter. Spartan was the one that was responsible for the deaths as far as they knew anyways. Phoenix might have kidnapped them, but all evidence was that Spartan ignored their safety and caused it.

      Cocteau moved him up in line for "parole". Along with all the subliminal training he also gave him the passphrase to get out of the cuffs. It was an overkill reaction to kill Edgar Friendly. Which is also why he went along with Phoenix to get more prisoners released.

    Two films that are a "must watch" for Sylvester Stallone:

    First Blood (1982)
    As for Wesley Snipes, Passenger 57 (1992) and Rising Sun (1993) are good watches.

    This movie is so goofy and over the top, really showed Stallone's comedic chops. The only accurate prediction was what happens with all utopian societies or "paradises." That they are built on blood, death, and an oppressed underclass
    I remember this when it came out in theaters back whenI was a kid and Taco Bell was doing commercials for this movie. It was the first time, and only time, a fast food franchise did marketing for an R-Rated action movie. The 90's man, it was so weird even back then because most marketing from a fast food chain was for PG, PG-13 or G rated movies if there was a movie tie in. The only other tie in I remember seeing that came close was when McDonald's had a happy meal based on Batman Returns which when people actually saw it in the theater were like "probably too violent and weird to advertise to kid's". I enjoyed the movie but I was used to violent movie at that age already, Lol

    It's funny how someone your age sees so many differences between the future proposed in the movie and our real time and someone my age sees how much reality has towards that future from the time the movie came out, we didn't take the warning seriously enough, we just laughed it off. I always say that while sci-fi writers invent stories as warnings, powers that be unfortunately see inspiration in them.
