- We watch the 90s classic Demolition Man for the very first time and for a take of the not so distant future from the lens of people in the early 90s, they were pretty spot on with some predictions! Demolition Man stars Sylvester Stallone (The Expendables 4, Rocky, Guardians of The Galaxy Vol. 3, Creed), Wesley Snipes (Blade, White Men Can't Jump), Sandra Bullock (Miss Congeniality, Speed, Gravity, Bird Box) and Benjamin Bratt (Coco, Skull Island, Poker Face).

"I would never expect that kind of death." Even though Simon Phoenix foreshadowed it with his "I'd lose my head if it wasn't attached," line at the beginning.
They start in fire and end in ice. Demolition Man has way more depth than its reputation suggests.
You read my mind
It's interesting that Bullock's character Huxley (and she is adorable) is named after the author of the dystopian novel Brave New World which is sort of like this world, a happy, happy, joy, joy world where people are conditioned to be happy about their place in life.
And aside from the literal child grooming, also genetically engineered to be too stupid to resist.
BTW, her pronoun is Lenina, so her full name is even more complex than that. And the name Cocteau comes from the French artist and director Jean Cocteau, known for his version of Beauty and the Beast and other works that revolve around popular mythology.
I never made that connection until now.
The 3 seashells are one of the great unanswered mysteries of cinema
There are six great questions in life;
1. Is there a god?
2. What is the meaning of life?
3. Is there life after death?
4. Do you know the way to Shell Beach?
5. Do you read Sutter Caine?
6. How do you use the three seashells?
Sylvester Stallone starred in Cliffhanger the same year as this, while Arnold Schwarzenegger starred in Last Action Hero. Wesley Snipes preceded this with White Men Can't Jump and Passenger 57, then followed this up with U.S. Marshalls and Blade. Sandra Bullock followed this up with Speed and Miss Congeniality
It was a wild couple years for reals all grade A 90s/Early 2000s movies lol
This was the film that made Sandra more popular wasn't it?
@@ComicPhreak it definitely helped keep her going in that direction. I want to say she had one before this....I'm tied up and can't IMDB atm lol
Though not a success, Sandy B and Dennis Leary co-star again in 96's Two If By Sea
@@wlam205I wanted to say The Net but that came three years later. Love Potion No. 9 the only one that I recognized before 93.
Even as a teen I had a crush on Sylvester Stallone and this movie was a big reason for it. We as a family loved to watch it, then I watched it with hubby, and now we watch it with our kids. We love to joke about the 3 shells. It's just so fun. And who doesn't adore Sandra Bullock. They are amazing together.
The building that was demolished at the beginning of the movie was the Belknap Building in Louisville KY. I used to work in the building across the street and was in there many times.
Its scary how this movie seems more accurate every year that passes by or at least parts of this movie
The "verbal morality code" is already here imo
@@fredfredburger5150 At what point in history was it not a thing man, every single culture across all of time has things you can't say, can you say offensive things to Christians in church? Cops will try to arrest you NOW in the USA for filming in a public area "verbal morality code" is not new at all, literally has been here for all of human history. If you mean they way the internet specifically used to be more of a wild west of speech, that is so specific and local your own existence that you are completely blinded by ego to where you can't even imagine the existence of someone living in a slightly different time and see they have pretty much ALL of the same problems. Most human social issues have not been touched or changed in any real way, the old problems are the same as the new ones, there is nothing new under the sun, just the aesthetics. I am so tied of people claiming anyone ever had freedom of speech, IT NEVER EXISTED, IT IS A LIE AND WE DID NOT JUST LOOSE IT, jesus christ
And that was supposed to be just a joke. Just like Idiocracy.
Next thing we know we will all be using the three seashells.
Right….!
This movie is even more relevant today given how the future society in it mirrors our own
Unfortunately they had fun of utopian society but we are in much deeper shithole than in this movie.
Demolition Man's future life is a Democrats' fantasy,@@Trouba315. 👍
OMG, I love this movie! So great to see a reaction on it. It gets so much unnecessary flak but I think it's such a fun time. 🧡
In some extended script/cut scenes/director cut it was exposed that the Spartan's daughter was with rebels, and was even in some underground scene.
You're right, a scene in which Spartan meets his daughter was filmed, and some footage of her is still in the movie - she's the woman Spartan is shieldling when Phoenix and his men open fire in the underground attack sequence.
Man they should've left that in it's interesting
Everyone knows that Sandra Bullock is the daughter
This movie is pure fun from start to finish. What a ride. This is id fuel.
Spartan's disbelief at Arnold being President is arguably the best joke in this movie, because of the apparent rivalry Stallone had with him at the height of their fame.
The "rebels" weren't lower class. They were actual rebels. They chose that life because they understood the tyranny of the society and chose to not live that way.
So: lower class according to those who think they're elites. Basket of deplorables...
In the 80s it was a very common decoration in bathrooms to have seashells in a bowl on the back of the toilet. We had them in the bathroom at my house.
Movies that take place in the future are either dystopian or gags. What I love about this one is it manages to do both. It's a hilariously dystopian future with hard R violence. Plus the swear box gag is best, I love how it's just always there.
"Somebody put me back in the fridge!"
Always cracks me up
Fun fact. You can't detonate C4 whit fire. You can literarly set it on fire, and it will just slowly burn. You need to give it a electrical spark to detonate it.
I loved how the girl on the left was fascinated by violent scenes, while the blondie tried so hard not to look
36:50 - Simon Phoenix called it himself at 2:38
"I swear I'd lose my head if it wasn't attached."
There was a panel in the comic book adaptation that shows Spartan reuniting with his daughter. You can actually see him protecting her during the shoot-out in the sewer with Phoenix. She had joined up with Friendly.
How do you use the three seashells?
- This movie predicted so many things that passed from being a goofy movie to serious science-fiction.
- John Spartan's daughter is supposed to be one of the underdwellers (as explained in a deleted scene). You can see her in a blink-and-you-miss-it scene, she's the woman Spartan pushes to safety when Phoenix and his gang start the shootout.
- You can also catch a glimpse of Jack Black a minute earlier, too.
- The 3 seashells are a creator's joke and they mean... absolutely anything, writers just wanted to tease the audience. Nowadays, this has become another prediction come true (in a way), since we use exactly 3 buttons in our smartphones and other simplified interfaces.
Sandra Bullock and Denis Leary were also in a movie together - Two if By Sea, which is a pretty good RomCom.
Stallone and Schneider were in Judge Dredd together - which is a not so good adaption of the comic (other than the look). Urban did it much better later in Dredd.
I love Kristen réactions and her smile is a gift
"DECONSTRUCTING TACO BELL" MAKE THE DAY
SANDRA BULLOCK THE PERFECT "Girl next door" FOREVER. !
I love this movie. Wesley Snipes was incredible
this is one of my favorite movies
I so dig this movie! And it was way more portent than I expected it when it came out.
This film satires so many levels of society (well, 90's society). San Angelus has eliminated crime and ensured people are healthy in body and mind, but they've become almost childlike without anything to struggle against in the prized glass bauble Doctor Cartaugh has made their world into.
Meanwhile Friendly's group are free, yes, but they'd literally rather live in filth and eat rats then conform in any way. As for Pheonix, he's an utter madman who treats violence like the funnest game at the fair, and Spartan for all his attitude is a lot more grounded and emotionally mature then his over the top action scenes would suggest, recognizing the madness in submitting to the Doctor's pure order, or Simon's chaos.
43:17 The rat study was an experiment to find the effects of population density on behavior in rats and mice. The rats and mice in John Calhoun's experiments initially got along when the population was low and their living conditions were not crowded. They did not self destruct because all their needs were met. The self-destruction was due to a high population in a small space.
'There she is'! 😂😂
This movie is still as good today as it was when it came out. And I think that Dennis Leary's rant was one of the funniest in movie history.
This is not a movie. But a futuristic documentary.
Watching you watch this movie reminded me of the great 90s action movies: "true lies", "last action hero", "face off" "heat", "the Rock" ... so many good movies ... I must go on a binge!
Oh wow!! You’re right, all really cheesy, really fun, big action, big star movies!! I didn’t realize all those were along a similar vein/theme/genre for some reason but I have good memories of those movies and I loved them all!!
@@erikahutchcraft1742 yeah! it was the time, when it felt like people really cared to create something unique with every action movie, without milking every franchise dry,until you're bored out of your mind. and they didn't take themselves so serious. I hope the studios start to realize this with so many disappointing movies at the box office and start to make more unique. individual and creative movies again.
Great movie. Westly Snipe is a great actor. You should see his other great movies Passenger 57 and Blade . In the Europe version of the movie it is Pizza Hat instead of Taco Bell. since is Taco Bell is not that common in Europe :). Fyi Arnold and Stallone were kind of competitors in the 80s and 90s that is why they make fun of the other in their movies :).
13 year old me fell in love with Sandra Bullock because of this film. And i still love her 😍
The funniest thing about this movie is that back then,
most people ridiculed and trashed it
because they claimed the future depicted in it was way too unrealistic.
It was not unrealistic enough, if you ask me >.>
Wesley Snipes owned the Simon Phoenix character. Really glad he decided to do it since he initially turned the role down.
considering that Jackie Chan was originally offered the role before it went to snipes.
I looked it up. The 3 seashell ring worked as a scooper. Basically you would scooping your behind instead of wiping. His daughter was in but was cut out. Spartan was holding his daughter in the tunnels when Phoenix started shooting.
31:10 Sneaky call back to Rambo when he sutured himself
I like how they used Ice 9 as the basis for their 'cryo-freeze pellets'. While there are obvious differences, the similarities are striking.
This is also my favorite Pinball Machine.
Denis Leary was like many standup comedians of the 80's. They parlayed their popularity into movie and television roles. Some lasted, others contributed and faded. If unfamiliar with his work, a quick search would bring up several of his routines.
Pay close attention to this movie, and then ponder the future. You know some of this is going to be reality and we'll forget all about how silly this all looked.
(technical question to the editor: why is the movie parts streched horizontally?) 🤔
I knew they were going to be bothered by the three shells.
35:16 :) a lesson in foreshadowing "you know, I'd lose my head if it wasn't attached."
442 actually means 4 speed manual transmission, 4 barrel carbs and dual exhaust.
I remember being at a showing of this during Drunkin Cinema. The lady next to me had never seen it and got the card, 'Take a drink every time someone violates the verbal mortalities act'. She had fun ;)
There's a good hour long video essay on TH-cam about this film titled "The Politics of Demolition Man" that is worth a watch if you enjoyed the film and found the setting to be an interesting hypothesis / warning about the future.
"We're police officers. We're not trained for this kind of violence" -Rob Shneider- Uvalde Texas Sheriff's office
Huxley (Sandra Bullock) was written to be a possible daughter to Spartan. In a pre-Weinstein era, yeah dark humor indeed. Both would be the same age
Nowadays if this movie was made the daughter would have been brought in as some kind of bad ass reporter that ends up being the hero of the movie.
I was so relieved to hear multiple PSAs about the paramount importance of consent. In a YT movie reaction. For _Demolition Man._
By 90s standards, this was basically an 80s movie that just came out a few years late.
...sort of like Kung Fury, but less so. Thinking of which, if you haven't seen Kung Fury, you should probably do that, it's amazing.
Great movie. Little history here, in the movie you saw and heard the restaurant was Taco Bell , if you watch carefully you'll see they actually mouth Pizza Hut. The movie had 2 versions, Taco Bell was used in the American version and they Pizza Hut for the rest of the world.
The seashells are the controls for a bidet.
This is one of my favorite Stallone films! Non stop action and wonderful comedy. Rocky Balboa and John Rambo may be his most well known characters but it's characters like these which show how versatile an actor he is.
If you would like to see more Sci-Fi Action from Stallone I suggest Judge Dredd. For a full on comedic role you should watch Oscar!
I loved this movie
Huxley says "their light was extinguished in the big one of 20xx" earlier in the film his family are all dead
I love this movie because it is a part documentary shot from the future too.!
Fun fact: in a similar vein to the Governor Schwarzenegger that they joke about in this film, Jesse Ventura also appears in this film in a small role(he's the cryo con that shoots Cocteau). He was serving as the Mayor of Brooklyn Park at the time of filming and would go on to become the Governor of Minnesota in '98.
"how do the damn seashells work"
Welcome to the club.
Can't believe I never noticed the Love Boat theme playing in the background, during the "sex" scene.
we need more Achara and Kristen! 😂
So funny watching these ladies heck former Wrestler/Governor Jesse Ventura,Dennis Leary and Jack Black all in this picture as well.
Love your reactions to these movies
This is my all time favorite movie. Both Sylvester Stallone and Wesley Or so cool to me in this movie when I was a kid. Also, it was really refreshing watching you two watch this movie. Because you understood everything that happened and paid attention to details.
Am I wrong in assuming Kritsten is the kinda gal that is the 1st to pass out at the party from drinking too much? But while she's up, shes the absolute life of the party lol.
OMG stop it. Your hitting all the 80s and 90s gems ❤️👍🏻they should watch Tango and Cash next!
The seashells are switches to turn on the bidet (butt washer) and air dryer and FLUSH!
What a predictive movie this was! Imagine, in 2017 for instance smoking was banned in all restaurants here in Austria - a disastrous blow for our food service industry by the way (innumerable gastronomy businesses had to shut up forever due to revenue losses).
What will come next?
You won't believe this, but there is an alternate version of this movie where Taco bell was replaced with Pizza hut
Im this movies I always cheered for Simon
i would like to do the hunka chunka with the girl on the left 🤣🤣
Ladies, How do the three sea shells work?
Japanese theme in the costumes and setting: Bidet.
They are controls.
Hollywood needs Wesley Snipes
The Schwarzenegger President joke is a joke between Arnold and Sylvester. Like in Last Action Hero, in Arnold's world, Sylvester Stallone starred in all of Arnold's classics (ie Terminator 2) - his daughter's scene was left on the cutting room floor. She is down in the sewers and when Phoenix attacks, he's actually interrupting the reunion. You can see her for a brief glimpse when Stallone throws down the table and pushes a woman up against a wall to protect her (his daughter). As for the three seashells. No one knows. Everyone has their theories but it's been a fun topic of discussion for many years........
I would’ve loved to see them have Zach Lamb (Copter pilot) do something more in the film than just talk about Spartan. 16:14 some countries they said Pizza Hut instead of Taco Bell cause Taco Bell isn’t well known around the world. 17:21 what’s even more boring about it is none of the food would be very spicy cause of all their laws. Sandra Bullocks Taco Bell dress was so heavy that when they were outside after Spartan fought the rebels the dress almost fell off one of the straps broke. 36:51 to this day they still have not acknowledged what the seashells do. Some speculate that they’re buttons to work parts of the toilet. That seems more logical than using the seashells on the body cause how sanitary would that be.
For sci-Fi of today, try Soylent Green, a 50 year old movie set in 2020's.
Hi! Thanks for your reactions! Kristen, I hope your arm gets well soon! What happened to your arm? Thank you again for you reactions! Best regards //M
Demolition man is Sylvester Stallone's and Wesley snipes #1 movie of their careers. Aside from the Rocky and expendables series. #1 movie ever for both of them
15 year age difference between the two actors. Which was super common at the time... now I'm not knocking age differences but it was always weird.
If you like the way Simon was finished. You should watch Universal Soldier 2.
Kristen looks a lot like Catherine Mary Stewart.
Until this days nobody figured how to use the seashells
Demolition man 2 let’s go …..
CinePals - you Differently matched his MEAT............lol
Everyone talking about how Arnie was President in this movie, but no one is talking about how the US Constitution now has at least 60 Amendments 😂😂😂
Really loved the constant banter of Snipes.
- This movie supports my in-my-head-only thesis that the best movie villains are the ones who are allowed to have fun in their parts (see Hans Gruber, Clarence Bodecher, Simon Phoenix, etc.)
- Paused this video to grab a drink and while I was walking random thought how much Joker energy Snipes was giving. Then I un-paused the video and Achara & Kristen said the same thing!
- Paused the video AGAIN to add my these statement above about fun villains, only to unpause and the first thing I hear is "He's so much fun"! WHAT. ARE. THE. ODDS?!?!?! 🤣
- Much like the question of what was in Marsellus Wallace's suitcase in PULP FICTION, or whether the Mars atmosphere ending of TOTAL RECALL was real or a simulation, the three seashells and how they work remain one of cinema's greatest unsolved mysteries. And it's probably better that way 😆
- Even though is product placement to the highest degree, the Taco Bell bit is one of the most organic, non-forced examples of that I think I've seen in a movie. Very funny.
- This is a wonderful 90s action-comedy, and Sandy B's first big role, that came out just before SPEED if I'm not mistaken. This idea would also make for an awesome streaming series. Would love to explore this world more... and see how the rest of the world in this future is. Bring some nuance & context & build out the oversimplified dystopian utopia they show here.
Welcome to our Future! If we don't change the path we are on.
simon did say he would lose his head if it wasn't attached.
Phoenix said something about separating his head back in 1996. Taco Bell had a lot of fun when this movie came out.
There are jokes and references in this film that were permissible at the time of the production, that are now totally unacceptable now. Sci-Fi was so great at World Building.
This movie is why i always ask out potential love i interest to Taco Bell lol
Honestly, I became a fan of this movie because of Sylvester and Wesley, but I stuck around because of Denis Leary's rant when they meet him in the sewers.
You all are cool 😊
With the trajectory of American culture. I'd say that they pretty much nail it.
Earlier in the movie they say his wife and daughter died in an earthquake
At the time the movies depiction of the future was seen as more comedic, but recently is now being seen as more accurate to how things are going then any other futures shown in movies.
