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.
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.
He didn't teleport next to the "pope guy." Spartan spotted his large aide peeking around the corner during the conversation and figured the "pope guy" was in the next room. So, while "pope guy" was monologuing, Spartan walked into the next room and put a gun to his head. Simple. Also, the 3 seashells are a bidet system.
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! ❤
@@k.delpino1124he's not the writer though. Sandra Bullock was asked about them and she said they're a bidet. Stallone asked about them during the filming, and the writers gave him an explanation which he repeated to an interviewer as follows: "OK, this may be bordering on the grotesque, but the way it was explained to me by the writer is you hold two seashells like chopsticks, pull gently and scrape what’s left with the third. You asked for it…. Be careful what you ask for, sorry.” The writers were messing with all of them because they deliberately didn't fashion an actual functioning way to use the shells. They've explained the inspiration and said they wanted to make something that sounded completely absurd to our TP-using selves. It's a deliberate mystery with no definitive answer. And that's what makes it good.
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.
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. 🧡
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)
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.
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!"
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.
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 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
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.
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.
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 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.
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!
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.
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 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 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.
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.
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.
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.
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
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…
"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 love how this film absolutely ROASTS woke/LA culture bubbles, yet does the same (to a much lesser degree) to “police-state” patriotism. It’s fair (and ABSOLUTELY deserved) in its critique.
@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.
Peterson, Scott......amazingly eerir how the movie got that tight. Google Scott Peterson fellas. The international version dubbed in Pizza Hut over Taco Bell.
If you like this movie you should watch Virtuosity with Denzel and Russel Crow. Russel plays an AI serial killer come to life. Another great 90s sci-fi action movie.
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.
Nostalgia Critic ruined this movie for me. When Stallone os yelling Simon's name in the future during the post museum fight. Spartan sounds like he's yelling the medical term for the male pepperoni. Hear that ONCE saod by someone and thats all you'll hear in that scene.
@ 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.
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!
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.
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)
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.

"You're on TV!" when Spartan smashes Phoenix with a tv is one of my all time favorite lines in cinema.

He didn't teleport next to the "pope guy." Spartan spotted his large aide peeking around the corner during the conversation and figured the "pope guy" was in the next room. So, while "pope guy" was monologuing, Spartan walked into the next room and put a gun to his head. Simple.

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

The 3 sea shells are one of the great mysteries of cinema history.

Matter if fact, Snipes and Epps should have made a film together playing brothers. The eyes are so similar.

Drop Zone is pretty good Snipes movie too

yeah yeah stop bragging boomer go get your owned youtube channel!
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?"

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.
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.
Is it cold in here, or is it just me?
Goosebumps.
The name last name Huxley is paying homage to the author Aldoux Huxley who wrote the story "A Brave New World".

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
i sorry but is this really you "FIRST TIME WATCHING" OR YOUR A BUNCH OF FAKERS!
Me and my mom always watched this together whenever it came on or whatever channel. It's our very favorite movie
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 just saw this movie like 2 weeks ago for the first time and had SO much fun hyped for this reaction
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
"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)
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 😢
Johns face at the digital complimenter / street therapist is too funny! 13:44
I feel like Demolition man could be a prequel to Judge Dredd. 😅
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.
If Sting is featured in the last episode of Netflix's Arcane. Who cares if he sings in this film.
How did coy never learn about the 3 seashells before this viewing? crazy
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 🙏🏾
Great review every time. Please do more underworld movies and check out the Crank movies which are amazing.
"Someone explain the Shells."
LOL You don't know how to use the shells? XD
I love how this film absolutely ROASTS woke/LA culture bubbles, yet does the same (to a much lesser degree) to “police-state” patriotism. It’s fair (and ABSOLUTELY deserved) in its critique.
@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.
Peterson, Scott......amazingly eerir how the movie got that tight. Google Scott Peterson fellas. The international version dubbed in Pizza Hut over Taco Bell.
This movie such a classic
Guys! My fave fukn review in a long time! Lots of great references, and the Aldous Huxley catch!
between Demolition Man and Idiocracy, they nailed the future perfectly.
on what planet
If you like this movie you should watch Virtuosity with Denzel and Russel Crow. Russel plays an AI serial killer come to life. Another great 90s sci-fi action movie.
They don't know how to use the three seashells. 😂😂😂
Naive future Sandra Bullock is even more adorable than normal Sandra Bullock (if such a thing is possible). Great movie, great reaction video.
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.
Nostalgia Critic ruined this movie for me. When Stallone os yelling Simon's name in the future during the post museum fight. Spartan sounds like he's yelling the medical term for the male pepperoni. Hear that ONCE saod by someone and thats all you'll hear in that scene.
this is not just a movie but actual archival footage of our future 😁 absolute classic kick ass movie
@ 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.
By far one of my childhood favorites
"It's FACE/OFF's STREET FIGHTER to MORTAL COMBAT."
Dude wtf?
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!
Here in France Taco Bell doesn't exist so they had to change that reference to Pizza Hut
We've just started getting them in England. Not the best tacos I've had but not the worst...
But growing up it was Pizza Hut on TV.
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.
You guys should do the Oceans trilogy for reactions 11-12-13 👍🏻👍🏻
For the love of my ears... STOP CLAPPING!! 🤦♀️
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)
You're very fun to watch movies with, guys🥰
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.
Ironically the least believable part of the movie is that Taco Bell would win the franchise wars.
3:10 “Smart henchmen. That man can hench and shoot!” I diiiied!!☺️☺️☺️
You guys should watch Last Action Hero (1993) next.
You have to see Stallone's CLIFFHANGER, it's from the same period and it's another good action movie.
This generation today is like the combination of Demolition Man and Idiocracy
Great reaction boys, I should be sleeping but it was worth it. 30 years still nobody knows what the 3 sea shells are!!!
Closest thing we have to the 3 sea shells is a Bidet Toilet Seat, which I strongly advise everyone get one., world of difference compared to TP.
Loving all these reactions of these throw-back films that I grew up on. Keep 'em coming, please!!!
Softest future 😅
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
It's actually the Police and it's a song that predates the film.
