I love this movie! Once a year, I do a movie marathon of my favorite 90's bat-sh*t crazy action flicks: RICOCHET, DEMOLITION MAN, VIRTUOSITY, and Face/Off. All the antagonists are so deliciously evil!😊
It's funny how John mentioned Pizza Hut in that little jingle after you said Taco Bell because there are 2 versions of this film where one film it's Taco Bell as the one left standing and the other version it's Pizza Hut is the one who is left standing.
Wesley Snipes absolutely ATE every single scene he was in. for me, he was THE standout performance in this movie and you could tell he was having a blast while filming. Demolition Man will forever be up there as one of my top 5 favorite action movies of the 90s. thanks for the reaction guys! ❤
I remember watching a clip of this on the tv at the video store and just standing there watching it in awe. I was huge Wesley fan and a Stallone fan. Moms had got a copy of it that day, got some pizza joes otw home too. One of the best evenings of my childhood lol
Wesley Snipes was still new to action movies when this came out. Passenger 57 (1992) was the first film where he displayed his martial arts skills! So seeing him share the screen with Sylvester Stallone was awesome to see!
Fun Fact: He actually quit his Major League role to film Passenger 57 to which the writers responded by recasting his character Willie Mays Hays with Omar Epps. As an added way to throw shade at Wesley Snipes, they had his character parodied(for lack of a better term) as a wannabe action star on the side of his baseball career where his character co-stars with the actual Jesse Ventura in a overly cheesy action movie. Seeing Jesse Ventura in this movie reminded me of that interesting bit of useless knowledge lol.
The old dude was just in the next room. There was a split second where the big dude looked slightly to the side and it was a hint that he was just in the next room.
Fun fact: In Europe, Taco Bell was replaced by Pizza Hut because there weren't any Taco Bells there at the time. So when streaming, you can tell you're watching the international version based on what franchise is featured.
@@salvadormendoza8535 yeah I could see a pizza chain winning the franchise war. I don't know anyone who doesn't like pizza of some kind. maybe not their favorite food but I don't think anyone would be real mad about it.
@@Humstuck Is more like a kind of mexican pride, it bothers me that Taco Bell dares to call their food tacos when those are not even remotely like tacos, not even a fried empanada, actually i dont even know what are those, but definitely not tacos.
Theory: the 3 seashells is a culture and industry-wide standard design for a bidet control system, they just can't be bothered to explain to Spartan that it's a bidet - but then again, can you imagine having to explain toilet paper to someone in real life? (someone not a toddler)
The 3 seashells came about because the screenwriter (Daniel Waters) wanted there to be something futuristic about the bathroom. He couldn't come up with an idea so he called a friend to ask for one. The friend had decorative seashells in his bathroom and thus the 3 seashells were born. Stallone has said he was told by one of the writers that shells 1 & 2 are used like chop sticks to pull out the poop. Shell 3 is used to scrape out the excess. This is the closest to an official answer.
That sounds...remarkably tedious and actually unsanitary. Not what I'd think of in a world of Haphephobes combined with Mysophobia. They wouldn't trade toilet paper for something even more disgusting and probably messy. They'd go completely hands-free.
Yes, excited for this one! We had a bunch of VHS tapes growing up, and this 90s classic along with Die Hard, True Lies and Lethal Weapon were always on hand for a good time. 🧡
The Running Man is another great film as well. I remember as a child watching a tape that my mum recorded of a really wholesome short kids film but when winding through the tape I discovered that the Running Man was fully recorded on the VHS. So I watched that instead, can't recall if Running Man was taped over the kids film maybe that's why it was short but I love Running Man and felt like you discovered something you were not meant to watch. My mum is a child/teen of the 80s so I grew up on those films so along with Demolition Man this is where my love of 80s action films came from.
"I think that the next kill will be made by....ben richards!" "Honey, richards is a runner. You have to pick a stalker." "It can be anyone i choose, and I choose..ben richards. That boy's one MEAN MOTHERFUCKER!"
Screenwriter Daniel Waters got the idea of Demolition Man from watching films like THE TERMINATOR and Lethal Weapon and blended the two together, but instead of using time travel, he thought the hero and the villain should be cryogenically frozen and wake up 100 years in the future where crime is outlawed and when these two face off, the future isn't big enough for the both of them.
I really love you guys watching these old 80's and 90's action movies. This was really the golden age of action. Seeing them again highlights why the modern remakes have fallen short of the originals time and time again. The "three sea shells" was a meme before there were memes and I still say "In the future all restaurants are Taco Bell." I hope you continue to check these older films out. I mentioned a couple in your Robocop video, so here's two more; Big Trouble in Little China and The Long Kiss Goodnight.
There are theories and a story Stallone said one of the writers told him about the function of the 3 seashells. The truth is that 30 years later everyone is still just as boggled as John Spartan about how to use them. 😂😂
It's become such an iconic meme that they included it as an easter egg in the Cyberpunk 2077 video game. The main character's apartment has 3 seashells in the bathroom next to the toilet.
John Spartan's daughter was in the movie at one point. She's one of the "scraps" living underground. During the scene when Phoenix ambushes Spartan and Edgar Friendly, you can see John briefly using his body to shield a woman from Phoenix's gunfire. That was her, but the scene in which they recognize each other was cut from the movie.
Btw, if you look into the making of halo, you will find that the main character JOHN who's part of the SPARTAN 2 program was named after Sylvester Stallones character
That cop is Richard Donner's real-life cousin and the boss from Lethal Weapon series who also appeared in Assassins that dies at the hands of Stallone's character which was directed by Richard Donner.
So many good parts in this. One of my all time favorites has got to be " we're police officers!.....we're not trained for this kind of violence!" And of course, how he creates toliet paper. I love action movies that have good comedy in them.
This and Last Action Hero are a perfect double bill. And if there's a prequel movie out there that I want to see materialize it's the Franchise Wars film.
Last Action Hero is another movie getting the props it deserves lately too. So many people who've reacted to it usually ask, "Why did this flop? It's so fun and kind of disturbing with the messages at the end (ie in the real world, the bad guys can win, etc)".
@@DonnaCPunk It's so fun and smarter than it appears at first. I love how it deconstructs the classic action formula and calls out the rules. The original Scream does the same thing for horror movies.
48:08 fun fact, that joke could have been double meaning, if Jacke Chan himself did nog reject offer to play Phoenix character (he had policy to not play bad guys ever).
I had a MiniDisc recorder back in 99. It was great for making mixtapes. But once I could burn CD's with a computer, I didn't really need it anymore. I got back into it recently, partly for nostalgia and partly to make permanent copies of streaming music.
I love this film! Pure 90s Action with some of the best writing. Fun fact: The international release of this replaced Taco Bell with Pizza Hut 😂 If you’re in the mood for a Sylvester Stallone Comedy, I recommend Oscar!
I'd love to see you guys do a reaction to True Lies (1994) It holds up to this day in terms of story, action, stunt work and practical fx imo, James Cameron did such a great job with it. Definitely one of my all time favorite Arnold Schwarzenegger movies.
I love how they convicted Spartan on the word of a sociopathic narcissistic mass murderer. I'm sorry my couple years of prelaw could have probably gotten Spartan off 😅
And not to mention that him taking a thermal and not getting any heat readings could easily prove that the hostages were already dead before Spartan even arrived
The line by Spartan, "is it cold in here or is it just me?" that you were talking about being "an Arnold line," when it was said at 51:47, wasn't a reference to Arnold but was a call back to the beginning of the movie where Simon said it at 4:09. He said it just before he threw his cigarette to light the gas to blow up the building.
"It's the captain from 'Lethal Weapon!'" That's "Lethal Weapon" director Richard Donner's (1930-2021) cousin Steve Kahan (1939-still kicking it somewhere)
The song Demolition Man was a song on The Police’s fourth album Ghost In The Machine. It was also covered by Grace Jones. The song and video was played on the early days of MTV.
I never realized the word "Exactamundo" was first said by Wesley Snipes' Simon Phoenix. I always keep saying it and watching again I found out Snipes came up with catch phrase.
3 sea shells is a play off the old 3 corn cobs . The outhouse was fitted with 3 corn cobs 2 brown and a white. Used the brown then the white to see if you needed another brown one.
@ 53:18- The blue matter, freezes everything! While it's been critiqued as a generic action film, there's an underlying commentary on our modern society in this film, which is almost eerie in its prophetic comprehension.
I love this movie - it's so over the top, that's it's brilliant. Snipes especially is fantastic - personally, I like to imagine this performance is his version of the Joker. - I wrote that before finishing their reaction. I guess they saw the same Joker potential I did. Funny. 😀
this movie embodies the 90s, man im so glad i grew up with quality movies like this haha lol the rat burger looks better then any mcDs burger we actually get irl
7:20 I never saw this movie, but I thought the SAME thing: freezing someone for decades...they'll just thaw out, wake up and be the SAME person. In fact, it's a very nice way to serve a sentence since you wouldn't have to SUFFER in a prison at all. Now I have to see this film! Thanks for posting this!
Whenever a reaction channel uploads Demolition Man it is an instant click for me. Thank you for checking this out and I hope you had a good time watching it!
The best explanation of the three seashells is this: Nobody knows. Nobody THERE knows. They're just all too embarrassed to admit that they don't know so all assume each other know. I love that theory.
For more Stallone (comedy), you should react to Oscar. It is one of my family’s favorites and so funny. Marisa Tomei in her first big performance on film (year before My Cousin Vinny) + Tim Curry. So good…
I remember seeing this movie in theaters and when the music score kicked in, I leaned over to my friend and said, "This guy has to do the score for the next Batman movie!" (Elliot Goldenthal-Batman Forever)
7:11 "The Italian Stallion" was actually the alternative title to the first movie credit Stallone ever had, which so happened to be a softcore porno. He took the role because he needed money to pay rent.
@ReelRejects The fun little fact about that was that the Schwarzenegger library was actually written in Sandra's script and not sylvesters so he didn't know about it so that reaction is actually genuine. Also fun little fact in the version that was released in the United Kingdom it's actually switched out from Taco Bell because they didn't have Taco Bell in England at the time they switched it to Pizza Hut
@chadreactions actually you are correct sir and I apologize it was Pizza Hut. Apparently McDonald's and Burger King passed on the opportunity due to the R rating for the movie
Another fun little fact. After 30 days as my prison cell mate, you would be able to take a dump much easier because your rectal muscles would have been expanded.
At 14:11 Wesley Snipes does have heterochromia because he removed the warden's eyeball (and apparently replaced his own with it!😬) in a previous scene in order to access info through retinal scans.
For Coy MDK was reference to M.O.D.O.K. the writers gave a nod to comics since this film is done in a comic matter. A violent supervillian out of time placed in an environment without violence to be stopped by a out of time supercop using violence to catch him. It's a comicbook if I ever heard one.
9:07 The actor who played Smithers is Andre Gregory, who was in MY DINNER WITH ANDRE. He has a house in my hometown, and I saw him often in a store where I used to work.
Although I must say that I do really appreciate the thought they put into the process of securing and rehabilitating prisoners in this time. Because the technology is something that scientists have been trying to figure out for years now. Hibernation like that over extended period of time without causing the subject to age or have to expend or consume calories to maintain their life processes have been something scientists been trying to figure out for a while now to use mostly in future deep space travel
That's cool. The problem I see with hibernation like in this film and Alien is your muscles. They can atrophy just from being in bed for a few weeks. After months or years of being asleep with no activity, you'd be too weak to move if not permanently disabled. Your body can even stop breathing because it's so weak. It makes me think we'll never be able to survive a trip to Mars. Astronauts would be physically helpless by the time they got there.
@@rscott7651It doesn't take that long to get to Mars. Less than a year. Astronauts heading there would do exactly like they do on the Space station, exercise with resistance bands and treadmills/stationery bikes etc. One movie that shows a good example of how they would stay in shape is The Martian.
@@psycho42069 I don't think anyone in real life can say exactly how long it will take to travel to Mars, especially when you factor in anything that can go wrong like health issues among the crew. I was talking about long term hibernation though. The idea of waking up and just moving around like normal is unrealistic. Atrophy can affect people differently, but your body deteriorates from inactivity. I've spent a good amount of time in a hospital bed, and I pretty much had to learn how to walk again. My legs were like jelly. And I wasn't asleep in zero gravity for months. Hibernation would only work if there was already a hospital on Mars where astronauts could rehabilitate when they get there. They'll be alone and sickly.
@@rscott7651 Your points on hibernation are (or could be) all valid, I'm not arguing with them. The travel time to Mars though is no guess. We've sent many probes, rovers, etc there and we KNOW it takes roughly 8 months to travel to Mars from Earth. There is a window that the planets need to be in the correct alignment, and that window only comes around about every 2.5 years so that's about how often we can send missions to/from Mars, but nobody would need to hibernate for that journey. Like I said, astronauts have spent longer periods on the space station.
@@psycho42069 We haven't sent humans though. Living people on board changes everything. Hibernation during the trip to Mars is something I've heard speculation about to lower costs and stress among the crew, I just see a lot of issues with it. Astronauts that spend months on the space station still need medical care afterward. There won't be any on Mars. I don't see them being fit enough to do anything when they get there whether they hibernate or not.
Demolition Man is one of the best movies I've ever seen. For the first time when I was 8 years old, and together with my son (7) we still enjoy watching it very much. Simon Phoenix is without a doubt one of the BEST villains.
My only kinda problem (while the line is brilliant) is when he asks about wiping after she just told him she wanted to jump his bone. But yeah, this movie is great and quite smart for what you might expect.
Smarter folks than I have figured you use two shells in a claw configuration to “grab” larger waste matter, while the last shell is used to scrape the rest of the matter out. Best guess anyway. Lol
Im feeling a bit nostalgic at the moment, this bringing back memories of childhood entertainment, would LOVE down the line to see Surf Ninjas, Tank Girl, and/or Encino Man... And DEFINITELY Meteor Man

I swear that Wesley Snipes was channeling The Joker for this role. Because that was who he always reminded me of in this movie.

Don’t say “ate”
@@VictorLugosiwhy? Cause you said so?
This movie was actually released 8 months before "Speed." Both of those movies combined to make her a star.

Seeing Jesse Ventura in this movie reminded me of that interesting bit of useless knowledge lol.
WOW! I had no idea.
Matter if fact, Snipes and Epps should have made a film together playing brothers. The eyes are so similar.
Another fun fact: Wesley Snipes was too fast for the cameras during the fighting scenes and was asked to slow down so the cameras could keep up
Drop Zone is pretty good Snipes movie too
@@dj808ceo I always get that one confused with Passenger 57.. probably because they both involve airplanes!

@danh7211 exactly! "Pay no attention to the man behind the curtain!"
Also he shot the other screens so could hear him talking without the tvs talking over him.
Stallone and Snipes are so good in this movie, I love their back and forth and Stallones chemistry with Sandra is also really top notch
The director of this movie has said that even to this day, the main question he is asked at conventions is "How do the three seashells work?"
I assume it's a bidé On squirts soap one squirts water one flushes
@@kingofnonation5843There is officially no answer.
I fell in love with Sandra Bullock because of this movie, she is spectacular.

Ahh, I see you're men of culture as well...

Despite its scientific inaccuracies, I loved her in Gravity also.
The swearing machine gag still kills me. Its so good.

Its probably because he was hell on wheels and uncontrollable, so they took the chance to get him off the streets?
The mystery of the 3 seashells is still under review today.
The 80's and 90's were the best time for movies I personally think! There wasn't a lot of CGI it was mostly practical effects.
The line by Spartan, "is it cold in here or is it just me?" that you were talking about being "an Arnold line," when it was said at 51:47, wasn't a reference to Arnold but was a call back to the beginning of the movie where Simon said it at 4:09. He said it just before he threw his cigarette to light the gas to blow up the building.
First seashell activates the belt sander, seconds ignites the blow torch, and the third starts the wire brush and the Neosporin and lemon juice spray.
I hate my vivid imagination so hard right now...

The song Demolition Man was a song on The Police’s fourth album Ghost In The Machine. It was also covered by Grace Jones. The song and video was played on the early days of MTV.
I never realized the word "Exactamundo" was first said by Wesley Snipes' Simon Phoenix. I always keep saying it and watching again I found out Snipes came up with catch phrase.
No, that would be The Fonz from "Happy Days".
Yeah. If you need proof, Samuel L. Jackson says it in reference to Fonzie in Pulp Fiction.
Wait you’re telling me a Mexican didn’t start this?? 😂 I’m being serious🤣
@@alexanderdiaz6396 Come on, you couldn't tell that it was a made-up word?
@@ComicPhreak For me first time hearing it was in this film.
3 sea shells is a play off the old 3 corn cobs . The outhouse was fitted with 3 corn cobs 2 brown and a white. Used the brown then the white to see if you needed another brown one.
I just saw this movie like 2 weeks ago for the first time and had SO much fun hyped for this reaction
John: These stunts hit hard.
Coy: So... does he!
😂
By far one of my childhood favorites
17:47 Really that old guy was like, "I was part of this when I was young...I wanna see them finish that fight" lol
I clicked on this so fast! We had this on vhs and my brother and I watched it all the time. Can’t wait to watch
I LOVE that he asks the 3-seashell question at the end of the film.
"Someone explain the Shells."
LOL You don't know how to use the shells? XD
@ 53:18- The blue matter, freezes everything! While it's been critiqued as a generic action film, there's an underlying commentary on our modern society in this film, which is almost eerie in its prophetic comprehension.
I love this movie - it's so over the top, that's it's brilliant. Snipes especially is fantastic - personally, I like to imagine this performance is his version of the Joker. - I wrote that before finishing their reaction. I guess they saw the same Joker potential I did. Funny. 😀
I was thinking this but hadn't finished the video yet😂😂. Glad to hear they thought the same.
Guys! My fave fukn review in a long time! Lots of great references, and the Aldous Huxley catch!
this is not just a movie but actual archival footage of our future 😁 absolute classic kick ass movie
this movie embodies the 90s, man im so glad i grew up with quality movies like this haha
lol the rat burger looks better then any mcDs burger we actually get irl
How did coy never learn about the 3 seashells before this viewing? crazy
Naive future Sandra Bullock is even more adorable than normal Sandra Bullock (if such a thing is possible). Great movie, great reaction video.
Loving all these reactions of these throw-back films that I grew up on. Keep 'em coming, please!!!
Every time someone says something about toilet paper or running out of it I always make a 3 seashells joke.... and nobody ever gets the reference 😢
I love these watch alongs to classic films
53:38 you guys are the only reactors i've seen so far, who remember. The lose his head callback at beginning
This movie such a classic
22:23 Christ i woke up in Canada
They don't know how to use the three seashells. 😂😂😂
7:20 I never saw this movie, but I thought the SAME thing: freezing someone for decades...they'll just thaw out, wake up and be the SAME person. In fact, it's a very nice way to serve a sentence since you wouldn't have to SUFFER in a prison at all. Now I have to see this film! Thanks for posting this!
Whenever a reaction channel uploads Demolition Man it is an instant click for me. Thank you for checking this out and I hope you had a good time watching it!
The best explanation of the three seashells is this:
Nobody knows. Nobody THERE knows. They're just all too embarrassed to admit that they don't know so all assume each other know.
I love that theory.
For more Stallone (comedy), you should react to Oscar. It is one of my family’s favorites and so funny. Marisa Tomei in her first big performance on film (year before My Cousin Vinny) + Tim Curry. So good…
This is one of those movies that aged to absolute perfection!
I remember seeing this movie in theaters and when the music score kicked in, I leaned over to my friend and said, "This guy has to do the score for the next Batman movie!" (Elliot Goldenthal-Batman Forever)
25:32 "Penus!!!" Tell me you don't hear it 😂😂😂
You guys just made my Sunday! 😆
Double Team, Fifth Element, Time Cop, True Lies or Total Recall next? 🤔
Am hoping for fifth element it’s one of my favorite sci-fi movies
@@monsterking1973Mine too, it’s that perfect mix of 90’s comedy, action and adventure
@@monsterking1973john and sally did fifth element many months ago
Your right I can’t believe I forgot 😫
@@ReelRejects Oh no I missed that one, I’ll go back and check it out! Thank you 🙏🏾
Coy and John don't know how to use the three sea shells. Lmao!
Demolition Man is massively underrated with surprisingly accurate predictions of the future.
7:11 "The Italian Stallion" was actually the alternative title to the first movie credit Stallone ever had, which so happened to be a softcore porno. He took the role because he needed money to pay rent.
@ReelRejects The fun little fact about that was that the Schwarzenegger library was actually written in Sandra's script and not sylvesters so he didn't know about it so that reaction is actually genuine. Also fun little fact in the version that was released in the United Kingdom it's actually switched out from Taco Bell because they didn't have Taco Bell in England at the time they switched it to Pizza Hut
@chadreactions actually you are correct sir and I apologize it was Pizza Hut. Apparently McDonald's and Burger King passed on the opportunity due to the R rating for the movie
@chadreactions it's cool sometimes all movie buffs have a brainfart and that was one
Another fun little fact. After 30 days as my prison cell mate, you would be able to take a dump much easier because your rectal muscles would have been expanded.
50:39 now that would be a cool concept actually. him wearing make up like war paint 🙂 voodooo for example.
Great reaction boys, I should be sleeping but it was worth it. 30 years still nobody knows what the 3 sea shells are!!!
Where I'm from, Taco Bell had bulletproof glass between myself and the cashier... 😂
between Demolition Man and Idiocracy, they nailed the future perfectly.
on what planet
Can't believe this is only 90's action movie Stallone and Snipes starring together
This is classic masterpiece of 90's action movie 😁
At 14:11 Wesley Snipes does have heterochromia because he removed the warden's eyeball (and apparently replaced his own with it!😬) in a previous scene in order to access info through retinal scans.
For Coy MDK was reference to M.O.D.O.K. the writers gave a nod to comics since this film is done in a comic matter. A violent supervillian out of time placed in an environment without violence to be stopped by a out of time supercop using violence to catch him. It's a comicbook if I ever heard one.
9:07 The actor who played Smithers is Andre Gregory, who was in MY DINNER WITH ANDRE. He has a house in my hometown, and I saw him often in a store where I used to work.
Although I must say that I do really appreciate the thought they put into the process of securing and rehabilitating prisoners in this time. Because the technology is something that scientists have been trying to figure out for years now. Hibernation like that over extended period of time without causing the subject to age or have to expend or consume calories to maintain their life processes have been something scientists been trying to figure out for a while now to use mostly in future deep space travel
That's cool. The problem I see with hibernation like in this film and Alien is your muscles. They can atrophy just from being in bed for a few weeks. After months or years of being asleep with no activity, you'd be too weak to move if not permanently disabled. Your body can even stop breathing because it's so weak. It makes me think we'll never be able to survive a trip to Mars. Astronauts would be physically helpless by the time they got there.
@@rscott7651It doesn't take that long to get to Mars. Less than a year. Astronauts heading there would do exactly like they do on the
Space station, exercise with resistance bands and treadmills/stationery bikes etc. One movie that shows a good example of how they would stay in shape is The Martian.
@@psycho42069 I don't think anyone in real life can say exactly how long it will take to travel to Mars, especially when you factor in anything that can go wrong like health issues among the crew. I was talking about long term hibernation though. The idea of waking up and just moving around like normal is unrealistic. Atrophy can affect people differently, but your body deteriorates from inactivity. I've spent a good amount of time in a hospital bed, and I pretty much had to learn how to walk again. My legs were like jelly. And I wasn't asleep in zero gravity for months. Hibernation would only work if there was already a hospital on Mars where astronauts could rehabilitate when they get there. They'll be alone and sickly.
@@rscott7651 Your points on hibernation are (or could be) all valid, I'm not arguing with them. The travel time to Mars though is no guess. We've sent many probes, rovers, etc there and we KNOW it takes roughly 8 months to travel to Mars from Earth.
There is a window that the planets need to be in the correct alignment, and that window only comes around about every 2.5 years so that's about how often we can send missions to/from Mars, but nobody would need to hibernate for that journey. Like I said, astronauts have spent longer periods on the space station.
@@psycho42069 We haven't sent humans though. Living people on board changes everything. Hibernation during the trip to Mars is something I've heard speculation about to lower costs and stress among the crew, I just see a lot of issues with it. Astronauts that spend months on the space station still need medical care afterward. There won't be any on Mars. I don't see them being fit enough to do anything when they get there whether they hibernate or not.
Demolition Man is one of the best movies I've ever seen. For the first time when I was 8 years old, and together with my son (7) we still enjoy watching it very much. Simon Phoenix is without a doubt one of the BEST villains.
You have to see Stallone's CLIFFHANGER, it's from the same period and it's another good action movie.
“Breaking the law.”
LAAAAAAW!!!
My only kinda problem (while the line is brilliant) is when he asks about wiping after she just told him she wanted to jump his bone.
But yeah, this movie is great and quite smart for what you might expect.
They switched out Taco Bell for Pizza Hut here, but this used to be one of my favourite movies. This, Blade and Spawn was my childhood
The eternal question of the Three Seashells still haunts my dreams after watching this movie, even 25 years later.
Smarter folks than I have figured you use two shells in a claw configuration to “grab” larger waste matter, while the last shell is used to scrape the rest of the matter out. Best guess anyway. Lol
This is what made Stallone cast rob Schneider in dredd lol
Im feeling a bit nostalgic at the moment, this bringing back memories of childhood entertainment, would LOVE down the line to see Surf Ninjas, Tank Girl, and/or Encino Man...
And DEFINITELY Meteor Man
