    Love this film, and Sandy's extremely smashable in it.

    I'm glad I've never seen the Pizza Hut dubbed version. Every one I've seen (VHS, DVD, Blu-ray and streaming) has had the original Taco Bell scenes.

    Love this film and so enjoyed your review!
    I've just discovered Off the Shelf reviews recently and just spent most of my weekend watching all the Alien, Predator, AVP films, Robocop (my fav) Die hard and all Halloween films, along with the Maniac Cop reviews that you guys have done.
    Gary and Iain, you both are now are one of my favourite TH-cam film reviewers. I can really relate to both your perceptive and informative insights, utter joy and incredulous gasps. The dynamic between the both of you is just gold.
    You bring an intelligent yet humble, every day approach to film reviewing, which is both refreshing and endearing. Look forward in watching all your reviews. Keep it up lads

    Little did they know we would use wadded handfuls of paper in the 21st too

    This is how I thought the 3 seashells worked - they are actually 3 buttons that control the toilet:
    The 1st one cleans your arse with water, the 2nd one wipes and the 3rd flushes.

    • @fuzzydunlop1753
      @fuzzydunlop1753 4 ปีที่แล้ว

      Yeah that's pretty much what I thought as well.

      um wipes with what??? they dont use paper so you are wrong

    "THE THREE SEA SHELLS"
    1. Cleaning via vacuuming.
    2. Anti-bacterial mist.
    3. Dry air.

    I always thought of the 3 sea shell like a bidet 1st one some soap/foam spray 2nd high-pressure water 3rd hot air dryer

    @chrislacy1990 8 ปีที่แล้ว +2

    Thanks again, Gary and Iain, for reviewing another one of my favorite films! DEMOLITION MAN was light years ahead of its time and it's aged very well compared to other '90s action flicks.

  • @JasonSterlingRMC
    @JasonSterlingRMC 7 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    Some trivia in reference to the review- Pizza Hut and Taco Bell are not just owned by the same company now but were back when the movie was made as well. They, KFC and Frito Lay were all owned by Pepsi Co. in the early Ninties. Pepsi later spun them off into a separate group.

  • @SiN88m
    @SiN88m 3 ปีที่แล้ว +2

    Wow guys. I watched the movie about 100x. But just through your review I just realized how much symbolism is used in the movie simply through the names.
    1. Spartan - the hero
    2. Phoenix - the antagonist who's last life cicle ended with fire -> explosion, before he rises years later again by freeing himself from cryo prison.
    3. Edgar Friendly - the misunderstood leader of people who wants their freedom. He only comes out of the underground to steal food to feed others.
    Even the black officer from Johns past. Something like bla bla bla Lamb, which could be interpretated as, in the beginning of the movie he was a Lamb because he was a freshman. And in the future he was a Lamb because society has became peaceful, therefore defenseless.
    Etc... oh god, I need to see that movie again right now🤣
    Btw. I also loved the attention for detail. Did anyone heard the alarm sound far in the distance, like from another room after Pheonix used the bad language in the museum. Like it is registered even if there is no of these wall machines in the same room.

    Sylvester was funny in Oscar, lots of people didn't like this movie. I love it awesome cast.

  • @Hellbane224
    @Hellbane224 7 ปีที่แล้ว +6

    Oh.... you didn't know Stallone had the comedy gene, huh? Grab the movie Oscar. Not even kidding. The movie is a gem. It's funny as hell. Give us a review of that one, I think you'll enjoy it. ^_^

  • @richarddeese1991
    @richarddeese1991 2 ปีที่แล้ว +2

    Thanks. Great movie! Now, about the 3 seashells... My take is that it's a bidet system: wash, dry, flush. Simple as can be. They're just 3 knobs on the wall, in the shape of seashells. My only beef is: who the hell leaves the bullets in the guns in a museum? That's my boggle. tavi.

  • @dmdlove7757
    @dmdlove7757 4 ปีที่แล้ว +4

    Did anyone else hear Stallone scream "Penis!", instead of Phoenix when Snipes went to shoot Cocktoe? That shit is funny.

    The Pinball machine tie-in of this movie was fun as well.

  • @BrandonPowellBlasterTown
    @BrandonPowellBlasterTown 8 ปีที่แล้ว +2

    I always assumed the 3 SeaShells were buttons, like controls for some kind of space bidet... you know, with lasers and such..

  • @porkflaps4717
    @porkflaps4717 3 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    This movie is a straight up classic. Only only one thing bothers me about it. What is the rest of the world doing? It seems like Coctaeu is the ruler of this Eutopia, but it is basically one city.

  • @Piff47
    @Piff47 8 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    Good review guys, as usual. But by the way Stallone did not direct ROCKY. He wrote the screenplay, (a story he wrote years before) but directed by John G. Avildsen. I find it interesting that most people think Stallone was the director.

    I liked Snipes in that one movie were he and Patrick Swayze played drag queens and Snipes can sure work them heels in it.

    • @fuzzydunlop1753
      @fuzzydunlop1753 4 ปีที่แล้ว

      Lmao, yeah that's a classic, wong foo or something right?

  • @irllcd13
    @irllcd13 6 ปีที่แล้ว +2

    What annoys me about this movie is everyone calls Stallone a primitive and gives him tons of shit, when it's only 2032 and these people are obviously old enough to remember the time that John is from. Like, did they forget what the 1990s were like, that violence, sex and swearing are real things that exist?

    • @TheUballe
      @TheUballe 2 ปีที่แล้ว

      Yeah... but today, we have idiots who can't even remember how good we had it in 2019, and insist that we all need to continue barracading ourselves in our homes, spraying your groceries with lysol, and so on. Also, we now have an entire generation of folks who legitimately believe that there are infinite genders amd that racism can only be acted upon by those in power.

    I think the 3 seashells
    might be a BIDET
    I knew a woman that had
    one in her bathroom
    she let me watch her
    use it once
    it was creepy
    I prefer
    TOILET PAPER
    and a
    TOILET

    @TheBeird 3 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    A great film, I always had a fondness for it. But I feel it falls just a teensy big short of excellence. This could have been Sky’s Total Recall or RoboCop. It ain’t story problems per se, but it feels something got lost in the edit. Primarily, the third act seems like it’s in a rush. Probably because the post production was running out of time. We’ve all heard of the scenes cut; Spartan’s daughter, Jesse Ventura’s death scene etc. Maybe they would have helped. Regardless, I still love this flick

    I binge watched all of Rambo cause I didn’t get to watch them all as a kid. The first Rambo movie should have been an indicator at how good of an actor he is.

    Ian's description of the sex scene had me rolling.

  • @mcliester

    I love the scene at the beginning when Stallone is holding the little girl and the reporter is giving him shit about blowing up the building just to save one girl and the little girl says "FUCK YOU LADY!"

    I always asked myself not how the seashells work ... but why they keep arms of all kinds at display AND AMMO for them! - I mean maybe a couple of bullets...but those amounts of ammo in a museum? Why?

  • @Cage820
    @Cage820 8 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    That's really stupid that they changed Taco Bell to Pizza Hut just because of a fear that some people wouldn't know what Taco Bell was. People are capable of doing a very small amount of research... I'm just glad they didn't feel the need to change it in America just to unify it for some stupid reason. I have the film on blu ray and it's still Taco Bell.

    while the misunderstood third world countries eat the scraps in lawlessness .
