Stallone had the PERFECT jawline to play Dredd.
But as a fan of the comics, the fact that he stays most of the movie without his helmet is heresy.
It's not that he's not wearing his helmet, it's that his face was shown. THAT is where the problem is.
I never read the comics, but I feel your pain. The halo show has butchered master chief. The strong silent faceless badass is now someone that almost never wears his helmet(or clothes in general), is irrationally angry and constantly screaming and someone who is dumb enough to sleep with covenant spies
@@stephengrigg5988 I haven't watched the show, know very little about it, but now I'm not worried because I'm not watching. Appreciate the heads-up.
As a reader of Judge Dredd comic books, I can't get over the moment where Dredd takes off his helmet. It was a huge mistake. Therefore, "Dredd" (2012) starred by Karl Urban is hundred times better (and more violent and brutal) Judge Dredd movie.
You know when RedEye starts doing good movies, that review is going to be killer
visuals top notch,everything else WRONG.for me perfect mix would be Dredd 1995 visuals, Dredd 2012 grit and story.
DREDD with Urban is AMAZING. Such a good film
They made the same mistake with The Shadow. Lamont Cranston has a face, but the Shadow doesn't run around without his scarf. Don't hire a name actor for an iconic hero if you can't go without plastering his face all over the movie.
Its Stallone's fault. His ego was so big he wouldn't allow them to film the movie with his helmet on the whole time
I think the implication with the Statue of Liberty is that the city expanded into the bay so much that they had to build around it, rather than they moved the statue into the city.
No, they are talking about power cuts caused by the work of moving the statue into the city. All this was a cover up to install the clone labor in the statue of liberty in the first place. :D
@@knutblume907 But that's stupid....
@@BAGGStheAugmented It makes perfect sense for the plot. How do you hide something really big in plain sight? Or you could tell the citizens we have cloned cops now running the streets.
If Paul Verhoeven had made this it would be a classic. Humor in a Dredd movie isn't necessarily a bad idea, the comics were very satirical, with sugar treated like cocaine, literal Fast Food Wars, etc...
Agreed all the way- or if Verhoeven and Stallone had made any movie together back in the 1990s, or even today.
@@Canoby I buy that for a dollar
With the big smoke domes
Yeah, I agree. Verhoeven is one of the few filmmakers out there who could actually grasp 2000AD's caustic humor, since he did "Robocop", which was heavily inspired by Judge Dredd. Another likely guy would've been Richard Stanley (the director of "Color Out Of Space"): his first movie, "Hardware", was unofficially based on a Dredd story (a spin-off of the "Cursed Earth" miniseries) and, when you really look at it, it does show hints of 2000AD-style humor. Despite the fact the production got sued by the magazine, forcing them to acknowledge the original material in the credits, Stanley himself was actually offered the Judge Dredd movie but turned it down to make "Dust Devil", his second, ill-fated horror movie. Apparently, he had already signed on it while they were finishing "Hardware" since the producers were the same.
2:14 "These guys act as the world's police, Judge Judy, and executioner." And suddenly, I want Judge Judy to be in this movie.
Haha I do love that quote
@@RedEyeReviews It's beautiful man.
Imagine a megacity judge Judy. Instead of killing you she just chews you out while your being arrested
that's a Hot Fuzz joke. "He's appointed himself judge, jury, and executioner." "He's not. He's not Judge Judy the Executioner!"
10 Things you didn't know about JUDGE DREDD (1995):
10. Director Danny Cannon and Diane Lane (Judge Hersey) had an affair while making the film. This caused the end of her marriage to HIGHLANDER actor Christopher Lambert.
9. The Lawgivers in the film were heavily modified Beretta 92FS handguns. These same props were recycled into the sidearms used by Ron Perelman's character Reinhardt in BLADE II
8. The obnoxious motorist was named "Souza" after Steven de Souza, one of the film's screenwriters.
7. The Aerial bike chase was based on the Speeder biker chase from RETURN OF THE JEDI.
6. Several of the store fronts seen in the film were named after members of the production team.
5. There were several scenes of Dredd blasting the newly hatched clones that got deleted from the final print.
4. Stallone and Assante had previously played brothers in the 1978 film PARADISE ALLEY.
3. Jurgen Prochnow who played Griffin was the dubbed voice of Stallone in the German language version of several of his films, including CREED II.
2. Even though both Stallone and Assante have brown eyes, they both wore blue contacts in the film to better show they are the "sons" of the blue eyed Max Von Sydow.
1. In the film the Antique Dealer warns Rico not to touch the Lawgiver saying "it'll take your arm off". The security mechanism in the film though is shown to electrocute a non Judge instead. This warning was finally fulfilled in the movie DREDD (2012) where the self defense mechanism does take the arm off a crook who picks it up by exploding.
Nice!
This is awesome thanks. Thats cool how the lawgivers where reused i always wanted 1 as a kid. And the affair poor raiden dayum

"Mark my words, nobody is this wrinkly and serious if they're not a bad guy." LOL
Can you imagine that Shakespearian Wrinkletine using his magnificent stage voice to order a pizza? I can. I imagine hordes of pizza guys forming a line to show their respect and each of them carries a box. Anchovies are excluded, by the way.
Its why i avoid old folks homes.
Oh man, I hope this doesn’t include senior citizens that run the country 🤣
Imagine Steven Seagal’s Lawman patrolling the Mega City streets 🤣🤣
I discovered Judge Dredd from the Anthrax song I am the Law. I had no idea what they were singing about until I got to check out a concert photo annual from the Among the Living tour. They had pics from a Dredd comic behind them in a collage. I went to a comic book store and asked what Hudge Dredd was and I've been a fan since 1987. Thanks Anthrax!
As a Brit-Cit boy, and a lifelong 2000ad/Judge Dredd fan, this movie has a love/hate thing with me. It's a total cheese fest, but it has to be said, the opening Block War scene is pure, old school Dredd.
This movie is like what an in-universe Dredd movie would be 30 years after Dredd died
Agreed, it's bad but am able to forgive it as such; fun film!
Dredd on the other hand; so good!
The first 10 mins the dream was still a possibility that a good high budget dredd film was about to happen then he got off the bike the knitemare began its still better than some of the comic book movies Hollywood have given us lately
This movie was just ridiculous, but I have watched it so many times. I had the luxury of not knowing there is a comic book until I was older. And I absolutely love every time sly says THE LAW. Love this one thanks man.
Thank you!!
The only thing better than when Sly says' THE LAW!' in this movie is when Armand Assante says it!
@@TheGuyderman that's true. He says it in a mocking manner, but the fact that he kind of does a sly impression is pretty great.
Logically he would have a Belly Button, as he was developing in the test tube, it is possible the scientists had a synthetic cord providing nutrients. Thus creating an artificial belly button.
"Excuse me, does that look like a _natural_ belly button to you???"
Probably even a placenta, but if we go by what is presented in the movie with the new clones, it looks like they develop just floating in a viscous liquid, so in that reality I would guess no.
Yes he may have a belly button, but would it be a Belly Button?
Armand Assante is great, love him. He easily could play Dredd himself.
If they had directed him to turn down the ham a bit he would have been better. Hell the material is there, it's just the execution.
Dredd is just an Armand Assanewannabe. Sorry for the dated reference. I just couldn't resist.
When you said mildly disfigured I about cried laughing. Really good episode and look forward to the next.
Thanks friend! Lol I couldn't resist
Agreed! it was a fantastic comment xD definitely one of my favourites
I was going to mention that line too but I knew someone had beaten me to it lol.
Btw, Rico is played by Armand Assante, a great actor. Watch his performance as Gotti made in 1996- He is the lwwwaaaaaww!
If only they did a better Judge Dredd movie... A dark version, much closer to the comic book... We can only dream about it... 😉🤭
Oh like Dredd
Or maybe a series? They could call it Mega City One, and it could disappear into development hell... :/
Carl urban DREDD
That one (Dredd) was good. Rewatched it recently.
Oh if only such a movie had been made
The opening, say, 5 minutes of this film (I haven't watched it in an age) is practically perfect, the design of the city, the Block War, Dredd's attitude (minus the one-liners ofc) as a teenager I was like 'shit, they actually did it!' and then Dredd takes off his helmet *facepalm*....
Karl Urban's Dredd is the best movie adaption we have, even if it doesn't look like the comics like this one does.
Great review as always dude =)
I love that Rico uses his own DNA to replace the DNA he himself was cloned from, and it's treated like some big event, as if something was changed by this.
Armand assante as Rico was one of the most iconic 90s movie villains
He oozed charisma and menace in equal measure
The other antagonist. Ma ma from Dredd 2012 was just a simple drug lord with local judges on the payroll. And that had a comic book accurate Judge Dredd in the sense of personality and character. And not taking his helmet off.
Amazing review! Your work improves with every video and I just love to see the evolution. Keep going Redeye!
Aww thank you so much
I remember when this movie first came out and I was all excited because it had "Mean machine Angel" and "Hammerstein" in it. Oh how I remember the disappointment too! Kinda helped me prepare for the star wars reboot etc so every cloud and all that.... Another sterling performance RedEye. Cheers.
Yeah they should have read a few of the comics first lol. Glad you liked the video
I know he says in the video that they call him Hammerstein, but do they actually? I remember keeping an ear out for that and never hearing the robot named.
I think mean machine is great in this tho. Only problem is he isnt in it more.
Daaamn you better not judge me. As usual I am Guilty as charged...
balls deep in coffee and doobies watching Redeye Reviews! I AM THE LAW...and the law here is WEED is legal!
No judgment at all my friend.
@@RedEyeReviews I wanted to let you know I met Vernon Wells last weekend! Man he really got a kick out of the fact that Lord Humungous has been harassing me on my live show (I do an impression of him) 😂 I was able to tell him in my "LORD HUMUNGOUS" voice...BENNETT...LET OFF SOME STEAM AHAHAHAHHAAH
I figured you may get a laugh out of that
Another banger of a review sir! I loved this movie as a kid, but the remake was a million times better as an adaptation. Both are such different properties.
Every time I see Judge Dredd it makes me want to watch Dredd... such a great movie.
Same here mister :)
Both and all stars who played it through were perfect but that Carl who did act this at first,were Most perfect..he did maybe smile only once and that makes it briliant =)
Judge Dredd defend and guide us hehe
Perfect
Then I watch the Asian version lmao (the raid)
Hey RedEye, when I discovered your channel, you had about ten thousand subs, and look at you now. I'm so proud of you, I'm willing to overlook that cannibalism tip at 10:58.
Aww thank you so much! What a wonderful compliment
You have improved so dramatically with the videos that you create now compared with your very early ones. Seriously, hats off to you sir. Funny, quality content.
Thank you very much!
Another great episode RedEye. BTW the pawn shop owner is Ian Dury a really famous English pop singer from the 70s/80s and the giant robot is an ABC Warrior.
When this came out I felt actual "Dread" seeing Rob Schneider's name attached.
He had the "I am he law" line, mocking Stallone, but that was it. That was hilarious, the rest of his time was useless
@@cobracyxx8808 HAHA, yes, that part was funny.
He’s not so bad.
Ikr even back then he was annoying some people dont belong in hollywood
"It's good for the environment and it's ok for you" is something we will be hearing soon while we're in our metaverse pods.
LOL!!! My Name is Jonas! Alexa, cancel!
Dude, your creativity is unmatched. Freakin awesome! You should have a million subs.
Thank you very much!
I genuinely love this movie, and Dress 3D was an amazing remake!
"LAWWWWW!"
Apart from not being a remake, I agree.
Dress???
Red Eye: Today we will be covering another Stallone movie to our library. This is Judge Dredd.
Stallone: I knew he would say that.
Hahahaa
"Maybe put him back in. I don't think he was quite ready yet." 🤣🤣🤣
For some reason, this movie always feels to me like it exists in the same universe as Demolition Man. Or, rather, they feel like different versions of the same story. If it weren't the three seashells I don't know that i could tell them apart. LOL
MY god the thumbnail.. mister Rob sneder what Have you done to our Italian Stalion.... 😂😂😂
This just makes me appreciate Karl Urbans version a hell of a lot more. Don't get me wrong,I fucking loved this as a kid but the novelization was completely different to what we got and if they avoided the kid friendly version and went with the original vision this could have been amazing. Great review btw. You're really starting to come into your own.
another Great video! thanks Red Eye! keep up the good work bro. you got a good channel and you make solid content. you're not an asshole or too sarcastic. it's all good fun and games. your sense of humor is of good taste and quality.
Aww thank you so much. What a wonderful compliment
@@RedEyeReviews you are very welcome. gotta give credit where credit is due. do you have anyone helping you edit videos or is it all you? if so even more respect to your quality creations!
Yes! I'm so glad you're reviewing this! After that, Demolition Man (1993) is a must 👊
Agreed :)
"Nobody is this wrinkled and serious if they're not the villain." 😂
Historically accurate
"LAAAW" is the best and most random bit in the film 😂
I am so happy you did this movie, I loved it as a kid but as I got older I found out how it didn't stay true to the comics. This doesn't diminish my childhood memories of this movie but as an adult this review confirms everything I have read. One thing worth mentioning, the Dredd movie with Karl Urban deserves a shout out, it was excellent!
Crazy to hear about all the cuts they did, too bad we never got an unrated directors cut.
Also this film is an absolute masterpiece and I will be hearing none of it.
Pretty sure they built the city out and around the statue of liberty rather than move it.
You are being sarcastic right ? Please tell me you are because you can use the word master as long as it's followed with piece of crap . It's by far Stallone's worst movie and he's done some terrible crap in his career.
No, they are talking about power cuts caused by the work of moving the statue into the city. All this was a cover up to install the clone labor in the statue of liberty in the first place. :D
Another perfect timing from red eye I've just got home from work
Me too bro 🤣🤣
Really glad you reacted to this one! :D Amazing video as always.
17 year old me hadn't read the comics and knew pretty much nothing about the character but after seeing Stallone yell "I am the law" in the trailer I knew I had to check this movie out...and I loved it. It has everything, just the right amount of 80's cheese, great score, great action set pieces and Diane Lanes sweet sweet ass. Sure the 2012 movie is objectively a better "dredd" movie but I prefer this one because it's good for the environment and ok for you....plus it acted as a springboard for Rob Schneider who landed the role of a carrot after appearing in judge dredd and received no less than 9 academy awards for his portrayal of the orange vegetable.
Yes! More RedEye! I joined the patreon a few days ago to support you man. Always makes my day to see new content!
Thank you so much :)
The thumbnail…chef’s kiss hahahahah. Great work like always dude lol
Thanks friend. That thumbnail was too good not to show
@@RedEyeReviews that should be the gold standard for thumbnails 😂😂
@@jordandaniels1381 lol it's so silly.
Love that your working more little bits into your videos.
The “playing Jonas on Spotify” was hilarious
Lol thank you!
That thumbnail to the video is so cheesy and dirty 😆😅
13:13 good on you for not questioning it, because that is called *Plot Armour* 😝
16:49 always makes me laugh like fuck! 😆😂🤣
Lol thanks friend. These are great
"may not be creative, but it is accurate" gonna use that to give things bad nicknames
I remember seeing this in theaters as a young teenager and boy was I let down. I was a fan of the comics and should have known of the almost whiplash tonal shift between the two when I saw the trailer but nope I went to it full of excitement to see a pretty bleak take on society and justice. I didn’t get that. Nope I got Rob Schneider chewing the scenery. The only person that seemed to understand the material was Armand Asante.
To me this was a huge misstep… a kid friendly comedy about a dystopian future. Tonal dissonance at its worst.
Honestly Paul Veerhoven did it better with Robocop and Starship Trooper. He was able to do comedy in such settings because it was tongue in cheek and always contrasted with ultra violence.
Well at least we got Dredd years later which was a bit of a pallet cleanser.
I already loved this channel, but the "tune in next time when Rob Schneider is... a stapler" reference was when I knew Red Eye was my people
Rob Schneider really outdid himself in this. A stellar role that went overlooked at the Oscar's.
First episode i came across of your content. And immediately got hooked. Subbed. Gonna flip through some back catalogue. Keep up fun content, homie!
Thanks friend! So glad you like it
Ill admit I gave a chuckle at the “ah you busted it” pun
Oh thanks!
to explain the fire, the actual source of the fire might be a different part of the wall mechanism, and inside that tunnel their may have been some ventilation for the fire to get INTO the tunnel on the walls of the tunnel and they just happen to get past it before it went off and then had to outrun said fire, but that's just speculation because the movie doesn't tell us any of this
"Good luck old man, headed out into the desert with no lotion and didn't even pack a lunch" roflmao
Perfect timing as usual RedEye.
Thank you sir! 🤘
Glad to be of assistance
This Dredd is comedy lol but the second one............Ive watched that one 4 times now. yeah....happiness
Thank God later we got the 2012 DREDD movie with Karl Urban.
Your link image took me a second to understand what I was looking at. lol.
Hahaha it's a strange one
So I’m guessing these events happened after Robocop, after Mad Max, after the Postman, before Waterworld, before Mortal Engines, before the Matrix
This dude always knocks it out of the park. Great review.
Aww thank you friend
I think our voices might be similar. You turned the song off that I was listening to with Alexia! lol
Thanks for putting all of that hard work into reviewing this movie. It's one of my guilty pleasures, with the other one being “Demolition Man”. You did this one justice! ;)
Lol that's too funny
Not gonna lie this is the only TH-cam video we're I've seen it and gone "oh baby!"
the notification didn't even finish opening I hit it that fast.
I just realized I never got the notification for this, it doesn't matter I should've known and checked. Either way I'm watching it now, 2 video's for me today, YAAY ! Haha.
I saw this movie in theaters back then, shit, I'm old. But, I did like this movie when it came out, it was different and I enjoyed it. Seeing it now, not so much. Thanks again for the great video and making me laugh and making my day as always. Much love and respect.
Stallone's Dredd is a masterpiece. The Cure soundtrack at end credits is nice too
This movie always worked for me, I really like the newer Judge Dredd. Both are great for their own reasons in my opinion but ai can understand why people may not like it.
Dam youRedEye, it took me ten minutes to recover from 4:44. Great work
Haha I'm glad I can give you some laughs
HAHAHA I didn't catch the "judge, Judy and executioner" first time I watched it 😂....Mr RedEye, you are epic sir.
Finally a patron. Encouraging others to take the jump too, and start supporting this amazing & hilarious channel!
Love the back to back Family Guy (Judge Judy and executioner) and South Park (Rob Schneider is…a stapler!) references!! 🤣
Hahaha thank you
"Dredd's face is horribly disfigured. But in the movie, Stallone's face is ... only mildly disfigured."
Subscribed.
I don't think they "moved" the statue of liberty into the middle of the city, I think the city grew to envelope it.
Rob Schneider story to Howard Stern about Steven Seagal is fkin hilarious... "Seagal walks out of his trailer and says he just read the best script ever". Schneider asks who wrote it, to which Seagal replies "I did" lol
Lol "mildly disfigured", normal stallone face. I died hahaha
Fantastic as always RER. Profoundly, disappointed Demolition Man isn’t already on channel. Think about it mate!
I totally will do it
Since i watched this as a kid im definitely biased but for me this was a great movie lol i grew up in a time where Ny movie that had Stallone or Arnold was pure gold. Demolition man, Judge Dredd, Collateral damage, Total Recall, That movie with Arnold where he has a clone. They probably havent aged well but nostalgia eases the cringe.
this movie wasn't even thst cringe or bad. just not as gruesome that's it. ut was a whole adventure.
the newer one looks cool and gruesome, but they stay in one building. it was great but I'll always enjoy a full adventure
Your best review yet RedEye!! 😂🤣
Thank you friend!
Is that Ian Dury playing the pawn shop owner?! What a legend!
Yeah just noticed that!
To be fair, The actual Statue of Liberty was carved in France, sent to America by ship and assembled using 1885 technology.
(I think that the good people of Mega City One could have managed😉)
Ah! We're finally dipping our feet in the Schneider classics waters
That thumbnail (like the movie) is Legendary! 🤣🤣
Nice choice as always thanks for the laughs 👍🇦🇺
"Ah you busted it". Stealth pun. Nice.
Thank you friend
Please do a review on OVER THE TOP. Cause the winner takes it all, loser takes the fall.
I'll add this one
Nice! Thanks Broseph! Jus what I wanted to watch. Great job. Since you've been getting more comfortable n letting your personality come out more, your videos jus keep getting better 💯
I love this channel now. And your other one! Keep it up! love the content and thank you.
thanks for all you've shown us
Thank you for watching :)
Oh my, mid 90s Stallone. Didn’t know that’s what I needed today.
Walker, Texas Toaster Oven. Oh wow, did I laugh.
Stallone clones do have belly buttons and they look exactly like Stallone when he's yelling 'THE LAWWWWGHHH', except smaller.
This movie was DREDDFUL... Well, did I beat Redeye to that pun? Also for bonus points the guy Judge Dredd executes at the beginning was JAMES REMAR. You know him, he was in Dexter and a few other movies.
I believe planes are held aloft by lift created by the shape of their wings specifically
in this case I would say that's a "ship" using some advanced tech to stay in the air because it doesn't seem capable of generating enough aerodynamic lift
Oooo now that is interesting
Stallone is THE LAW!
P.S I'd recommend a movie called One Man Force. A cheesy awesome action flick starring former NFL defensive end John Matuszak. Little warning it might make you crave Pepsi
It's been a while, so Tnx for these one. Maybe it is about time to watch it again 😎
I had a poster of dredd doing normal stuff, eating breakfast, showering, playing golf, hanging out at the pool, talking to mom dredd on the phone, and the helmet was there in all of the cells. It was just hilarious, but the helmet, man, it was like, part of his skull or something. Who didn't tell Stallone about it?
Keep going bro! love your channel!
Thank you so much
“That’s your birth right! That’s your family! I’m your family! I’m the only family you ever had! Now choose!” 😢
The thumbnail looks like Schneider is about to bite Stallone. 🤣🤣
"I am the law!"
I confused this with Karl Urban's one for a second!thanks for this review RedEye😌💖
