For all those people saying, "THIS ISN'T DREDD! WATCH DREDD (2012) INSTEAD!!!!" Guess what is releasing on Friday!!! 😁
Thank god. I was gonna cry if you guys only watched this one. Dredd needs to have a sequel of its own tv show. Perfect casting and the movie really brought the comic book to life.
This movie is just great camp. Its not a bad movie, its just purely, 80s. Its a fun movie to watch, but Dredd is where its at. Besides, mama is one if the best villains out there.
The 2012 Dredd is better indeed 😉
@BattleAngelFan Agreed. Alita needs a sequel.
Both great movies. I bloody love the Stallone one, as it's far more entertaining in my opinion. Just pure fun.
I really don't like it when people tell you to disregard a movie cause they don't like it. It's good to see y'all's reaction, even to bad or lesser movies.
There's a reactor out there who was talked out of watching The Evil Dead, but really liked Evil Dead 2 and Army of Darkness. Sheesh!
I was having a bad day but hearing "I am the law" impression just make my day. You are too funny. 🤣
You betrayed the law!
@@EvanG529 Laaaaaaaw?
Curious about the change in eye color I found this on Wikipedia; Stallone and his co-star Armand Assante wore blue contact lenses to match von Sydow who plays their genetic 'father'. Assante deliberately mimicked Stallone's speech patterns to better reflect their characters' relationship as siblings.
ahhh
Except the contacts are still a noticeably darker shade of blue.
The thing that a lot of people seem to forget is that the original Judge Dredd comics were very satirical in nature and featured tons of comedic elements. I think they focused more on those aspects of the comics with this movie, and having Stallone as Dredd probably implemented a lot of changes to the script (such as him being helmet-less for 95% of the film). The Karl Urban version of Dredd is a much more loyal depiction of the character than Stallone's, but Stallone's movie does pretty much nail the setting of the early comics.
Totally agree, that quirk, comedy and character of the comics was sorely missed for me with the new ones (love karl as dredd tho).
I think even Karl Urban's Dredd is a lot more light-hearted and humane than the comic version.
A bigger problem is that they tried to cram years of Dredd lore into one movie. The Urban movie feels more like what you could find in an issue of the comics.
It really makes it obvious they didn't believe the Stallone movie would result in sequels. Just the Angel Gang could be enough story for a couple of movies if Dredd is in the wastelands for some reason.
Keeping the helmet on is essential though. Perhaps if we see him come home to Walter the wobot, he could take it off.
But the comics were funny. Judge Dredd wasn't. Not intentionally, anyway.
Saving Matt Damon Block
Copland is the most underrated Sly film, deep deep cast, & he holds his own.
That is a great movie.
You betrayed the law!
LAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAWWWWWWW!!!
One of the greatest line deliveries in cinema history.
The best part about this movie is when people see "Dredd" after watching it.
That's exactly what we are doing! :D
Yeah, I think Dredd with Karl Urban is far better. Makes this version almost unwatchable after you've seen it, LOL
Always considered this one a mixed bag. Loved the few imported comics of Dredd that I could find as a kid. Because of the comics, I actually prefer the "look" of this one over Dredd 2012 (the city, the Lawmaster motorcycle, and especially the uniforms). Straight out of the comics.
Could have been a fantastic movie if you throw out the script and replace it with something from the comics (maybe the Judge Death storyline); throw out all the actors aside from Max von Sydow, Diane Lane, and Prochnow; and find a decent actor of the era to have played Dredd. Well, to be honest, with a better script just Gorilla Glue the helmet to Stallone's head and he would have been perfectly fine.
Does this hit more like 5 element? After them saying it I feel it but don't know much about Judge Dredd at all, so i couldn't say.
Fun Fact : in the beginning , in the block wars,the Block Lord (James Remar) and some of his goons have modified versions of the M41- A pulse Rifles from Aliens, James Remar Was supposed to play Hicks but was replaced by Michael Biehn not long after production started on Aliens :)
Loved Mrs 'You, Me & The Movies' impression of Sylvester Stallone. Brilliant!
I know it’s from a different part of 2000AD, but the real star of this movie is the ABC warrior. They actually built it, full size, and it’s all hydrolically operated. I saw a behind the scenes with all the puppeteers controlling it.
So many legends in this movie, including Hershel from the Walking Dad, and Jürgen Prochnow who was in "Das Boot" with Herbert Grönemeyer, another legened (who is now the most famous German pop and rock singer). :)
Can't wait to see your reaction of Dredd...that movie and Karl Urban are AMAZING! It deserved about 10 sequels!
This is one of those movies that I remembered more fondly than on a recent viewing. I don't care that Stallone took off his helmet, as I'd never read the comics this is inspired by, but the writing definitely didn't do it justice (heh, pun intended). This is one of those movies that took an INCREDIBLE cast and instead of letting them elevate the script, the script drug them down into the sewers with it. A real shame. Not a fan of this movie. Hurry up and give me your Dredd reaction so that I can clense my palate with a great movie!
It’s like a little present that opens on my birthday. I used to watch this a lot when I was younger.
I don't get all the comments saying they should have watched the other movie instead. Both are good, just different takes. Enjoy both films people, it's allowed lol.
People should want to watch the earlier release anyway. The critics obviously did to know they didn't like it.
I always loved the fact that Judge Lawgivers are protected to ensure that even if a Judge is killed, the weapon CANNOT be turned upon other Judges or on innocent bystanders.
In the comics it actually EXPLODES if it fails DNA ID verification and rapidly disarms (and removes hand and forearm) of the Perp, along with of course most likely causing the death of that perp from shrapnel and shock due to that sudden and MASSIVE trauma.
I sincerely want to thank you for always being on time with rolling out your content. I know you have so much going on with your channels and work hard to edit these and I’m glad I can count on it everyday. It’s literally part of my routine and I appreciate the time and effort. Thank you Mr and Mrs! 🤠🙌🏼❤️❤️❤️
You are so welcome!
Yup you guys are part of my routine too "merci beaucoup d être la pour nous amuser" that s french Canadian for "thanks for being there to entertain us"
"Please, anything to end this conversation." Hahahaha. That's me to any of my co-worker's haha.
People born in the late 90s/2000s don't seem to appreciate the great campfest of the 90s action films, I can still sit down and enjoy them. Judge Dredd is one of those. LAWWW
Fargo: "But something went wrong. [He] genetically mutated to the perfect criminal."
Dredd: "I have a brother?"
Fargo: "THAT is your takeaway?!? Just let me die now. Besides, Schwarzenegger already did this in Twins 7 years ago."
This movie tanked at the box office. I found it entertaining when it first came out but nothing to scream about. I can’t wait to see you reaction to the 2013 “Dredd”. That movie was awesome. I keep hearing rumors that they are going to make a series based on it with Karl Urban back as Dredd called “Mega City 1”
It came out in 2012.
Rumoured to lead to the dark judges (squeal)
Another cool Stallone movie is 'Cliffhanger' also starring John Lithgow. Would be cool to see your reaction to that!
Not only is it cool, it's one of the finest Action Thrillers of the 90's, and besides Rocky and Rambo, arguably Stallones best movie alongside Cop Land. Cliffhanger is a masterpiece
The Mrs 'I am the law' bust my gut! You guys lighten my days! Blessings and happy thoughts! 😇🙏🎉🎊🤗😀🤗
I've seen this movie tons of times & never noticed the eyes before
I loved the dirty cheesy gritty satirical sense of humour of the comics. The thing I remember best about this movie (when we talk about likes and impressions) is how in one scene I thought Stallone looks exactly like Judge Dredd in one of the frames in the sole book I had. His dropping lip fit perfectly with Dredd's Dirtyharryish nasty grin. And in that single frame the movie had me for an enthusiast.
Even when Judge dread took his helmet off in the comics they put a censored bar across his face.
Don't watch this it's less than useless, the 2012 version Dredd starring Karl Urban is infinitely superior.
Dredd is being watched after this... so she can compare!
@@YouMeTheMovies Great news!
Stop crying, sound like you need a fucking diaper change.
Goodness me, I've watched a few of your reactions, but that intro chat about going to the movies was hilarious and so freaking real
You lost at the Franks Stallone crack but got me back at the Hershey Highway
I always knew Armand Asante as a serious actor before the satirical movie "Fatal Instinct" a couple years before this one. Even if you don't know who Armand Asante is, you have got to watch "Fatal Instinct", because it is hilarious.
Re: Dredd on Friday, It’s more a reboot than a remake. It’s a different interpretation of the Judge Dredd character.
This version captures the over the top sci-fi universe, the Karl Urban version trades that for the gritty , violent.
I like this version for how well it captures Mega City One in regards to the comic book and the visuals as well as some of the dark humor present in the comics as well. The 2012 version was great with the action and violence. Both versions have their merits.
@Ruaidhrí Ryan Not quite since the personality and attitude of the comics is so much satire and for all its mistakes the Stallone version has maybe 30% of that satire while the Urban version has maybe 10%.
@Ruaidhrí Ryan _"The satire in the comics has a broad range. Sometimes it's silly and comedic, like Otto Sump or The Fatties, whilst other times it's serious and politically reflective like, America or Origins."_
Absolutely.
_"Sometimes the comic doesn't do much satire at all but instead opts for horror, like Necropolis or Ratfink. But Dredd's world is always dark and brutal."_
That's not untrue but it's always the same satire: fascist lawmen in a fascist police state in a crazy world. Necropolis has Judge Death who is pretty much satirical in himself.
_"The Stallone film didn't feel satirical to me."_
Most of it happens when Stallone has the helmet on.
_"It didn't feel to me like it was trying to make any political points or critiques."_
It isn't that kind of pinpoint satire, sure, but of course it's satire when you try to bribe the future police to get out of a ticket they blow up your car with their sidearm and you hack something just to survive and you get five years in a cell and there's robots knocking on your door asking for your trash to make into recycled food.
EDIT: And there's a corner of Abbott and Costello?
_"It was a big budget set piece that used Rob Schneider for comedy relief and felt very Hollywood and camp."_
Yes, so?
_"Whilst the 2012 film had subtle satire"_
Right, but it's only a tenth of the amount in the source material and there's way too many viewers going "I wish we had Judges in real life."
_"(the fatties were actually in it)"_
No, it's a "blink and you missed it" nod to those of us that already know about the Fatties.
_"and had several points of reflection on the grey area of the Judge system."_
But barely any of that was done in a satirical manner.
_"And regardless of our disagreement on the films overall, there is simply no denying that Urban Dredd felt like the character, whilst Stallone Dredd did not."_
In most ways, yes, although I feel Urban Dredd was less extreme in his judging overall while Stallone Dredd had that "Sugar is illegal. Three years for distribution. Take him away." feel.
@Ruaidhrí Ryan _"Though I rarely felt that comic Dredd was extreme for the sake of being extreme."_
That's not what I mean. I mean... umm... Urban Dredd would not sentence Fergie for hacking something to stay alive rather than climb the outside of the building but comic book Dredd might.
_"He usually has a bigger picture reason for his harshness. Even when he was younger and less philosophical about the system, he still cared about the citizens and ethical justice."_
Depends. He's the villain in the first part of America.
_"I think both films might even be a bit harsher than the comic Dredd, seeing as both films have a death sentence for numerous crimes,"_
That's how the "lawbook" is written though, not Dredd's personality.
_"whilst the comic only seems to use the death sentence during war, or for treason."_
Oh, the "lawbook" in the comics is not quite that lenient. I haven't read many of the comics and it was back in the day but I've started listening to The Dreddful Cyberpunk podcast on Spotify so I know early comic Dredd didn't shoot badguys dead often but it happened. Not on the moon though, they had no death sentence. Sentient robot cars and strange cattle but no death sentence.
_"But killing a judge in the comics would be a life sentence, not death. Unless the law was different at some point that I've forgotten."_
The movie simplifies it, I'm sure, but it makes sense in the "You kill a cop the cops will respond in kind" sense. We see that in movies like The Fugitive.
The tamest R rated film ever....
If you just watch this as a Stallone flick its fun. The best scene is the Armand Assante yelling "LLAAWWWWW!?"

Personally, I thought Stallone was good as Dredd. They got the uniforms, weapons and vehicles right, and Mega City One looked great. But they messed up with the story elements, including Dredd taking his helmet off, and having two Judges kissing (Judges aren't allowed to have romantic relationships). I'm guessing the film makers just took a basic look at the comics and made stuff up after that. This film could have been great, but it wasn't.
You both should watch The Odyssey (1997) miniseries starring Armand Assante. It’s amazing and the best adaption of the epic poem.
Ass movie. Which is surprising because it has a really great cast. How can so many great actors brought together make such an ass movie? Probably because the movie wiped IT'S ass with the source material. I am so thankful that Pete Travis and Karl Urban redeemed the honor of the Judge Dredd IP...
As a kid who never read the comics I really enjoyed this movie and used to quote it religiously, but as an adult who is a fan of Halo and The Mandalorian I understand why people would be upset with this film. I think storyline wise removing his helmet would make sense if he kept it on until they sent him to prison because you can't go to prison with a judge's helmet on. However, I think him willingly taking it off early on was a bad move. I personally love both Judge Dredd and Dredd, I still get nostalgia when I watch JD though.
those blue eyes with the thick black rings around the iris are contact lenses
I AM THE LAW!! also hi Mr. and Mrs. Movie.
@You, Me, & The Movies This one is a nostalgic piece for me. I recommend you take it up a notch with "Dredd".
What sank this film was casting Stallone in the main role. Director Danny Cannon was a die hard fan of the comics and nailed it with the costumes, the look of Mega City one, the ABC Warrior and the Angel gang.
But once Stallone was on board he not only refused point blank to wear the helmet for the whole movie ( he never heard of nor read the source material ) but also due to his "star power" at the time he then went over the head of the Director and altered the script, the main story and general direction in which the film took.
The comics back in the late 70s and throughout the 80s were very dark, violent, graphic and Karl Urban's portrayal nails that but that movie lacks the budget of the Stallone version and it shows. Plus the fact the Karl Urban version borrows more than a lot from the movie " The Raid."
If they mixed the look, costumes and Mega City One of the Stallone version with Karl Urban's portrayal it would a been an instant hit and we would a been treated to more movies about this iconic Comic book character.
I found Dredd to be more like the comic books. But it’s nice to see people react to 90’s movies and music.
The second one is a way better homage I agree
Both movies are as much like the comic books, just different aspects. One key thing is that for all its mistakes the 1995 movie has maybe 30% of the satire of the comics while the 2012 movie has maybe 10%.
@@Mansplainer2099-jy8ps Are you still banging out this bollocks?
@@HappyCynic You mean the truth? Yes, I am still banging it out.
@@Mansplainer2099-jy8psyeah, lets just ignore that in the comics, the genitic legacy etc between Fargo, Joseph Dredd and Rico Dredd was *never* a secret to Joe & Rico, and that it was Joe himself who sentenced Rico to 20 years on Titan...
The actual amount of satire in the comics varies massively from story to story, and by that mean metric both films fit within the range of the comic stories.
Hershey: *We're dying out there. 108 Judges in 48 hours.*
Dredd: *my bad, bout 10 of those deaths was caused by me........ummm sorry I guess*
Mrs Movies totally needs a T-shirt now saying “Judge Bitch”, it sounds bad-ass.
back in the day, as a kid knowing about the basics of metalworking and architecture, I was like "How the FUCK do you even build a city like that?"
now as an adult, I look at the bullshit CGI of modern productions trying to be realistic and I'm like "Please give me back the model work from 1995!"
I think Judge Dredd was always destined to fail in the US, 'cus of different demographics. While American 12 year olds read about Spider-man doing whatever a spider can, UK 12 year olds read about Judge Dredd kneecapping 5 rapists, then sentencing their victim to 5 years solitary confinement for running on the sidewalk. It was always written for adults, but read by kids, instead of being written for kids, but read by adults, which is kinda the sitch with superhero comics in the US now. And the some of the artwork was insane Especially in Slaine. 2000 AD had some really dark shit going on. But now, 12 year olds in the UK read...IDK what. Can they even read? Comics are dead as dead here.
I wasn't even born when this movie came out, but I found a stack of 2000 AD comics in a Landmark Trust place I was staying in, and couldn't believe there were no proper movies made of any of it. It's SO much better movie material than anything Marvel or DC ever regurgitated...over and over and over. Nemesis the demon, Strontium Dogs, Judge Dredd, Slaine.
I immediatley understood why football hooliganism was a thing in the 80's. Kids had gone from Beano and Dandy, to mass murder and torture.
It’s more than just Stallone taking off the helmet.
They strip the character of his role and title of Judge.
The introduction of this comics icon to the larger mainstream and they remove him from the thing that defines the character.
Why would you do that?
Fun fact: If you watch the DVD version of Judge Dredd with the sound off, and start Pink Floyd's Dark Side of the Moon exactly as the James Earl Jones' narration ends and the text begins to fade, you at least get to hear Dark Side of the Moon instead of completely wasting one hour and 36 minutes.
Oh yea I forgot….. “GOODFELLAS” (1990) with Deniro, Pesci, Liotta, L Bracco, P Sorvino….. 😂😂
They said in the live stream that their next mob movie will be "Goodfellas."
James Remar and Armand Assante starred in Fatal Instinct which I think Mrs. Movies would get a kick out of.
Your intro was awesome…two people madly in love because of movies. 🤣🤣 Great reaction!!!
"Armand Assante" name was also in the 1st Santa Clause movie, when Tim Allen gets the good/naughty list he opens the 1st page and sees his name on the list.
HI, Judge Dredd was a main-line character in the U.K. children`s comic 2000 A.D., Dan Dare was another with his nemesis, the Mekon. I used to read them growing up. It was great to see him & the Mega-city landscape depicted in film. I enjoyed this one, even though, as you say, Stallone went mostly without the helmet.
I think Diane Lane did well portraying Judge Hershey also. I`ve always enjoyed Max Von Sydow`s work, R.I.P. Max, thanks for your contribution to film.
When it started in 1977, Dan Dare was supposed to be the big hero character that kids would buy it for but Judge Dredd became the big breakout character that's been continuous while DD kinda petered out.
You really do need to educate the Mrs. on Sylvester Stallone. Not just the Rocky and Rambo flicks, but Cobra, Cliffhanger, Tango & Cash, Nighthawks...even Oscar is well worth watching.
Copland?
Thanks for the video!! See you later!! Stay safe.😁
31:38. He played Odysseus in a TV mini-series of the Illiad.
"You betrayed the law".... LAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAW........
I hope they watch demolition man soon that’s a must if u watch dread u gotta watch demolition man
Rob Schneider was better in this because less Rob is more.
there is not such thing as blue eyes. 'blue' eyes have no colour pigmentation, but the same phenomena that that causes the sky to be blue scatters the blue wavelength of light, giving the appearance of blue eyes, which can appear to be different colours under different lighting conditions
This movie is such a 90's movie. It's crazy, over the top, campy, crazy, stupid, and fun. This movie didn't do well, but I still find it super enjoyable. It's just a great action movie that you can shut your brain off to and have fun. I will echo that the new Dredd is *REALLY* good and much better than this, but I still like this movie for what it is and I love that you're going back-to-back with this and then 'Dredd'. Really good decision in my opinion.
It's better at being an action movie but at adapting the source material it's about the same.
God damn this movie sucks (I am a 2000 AD fan).
The line your referring to in richie rich the smell master says "marble egg, Faberge"
The one you should really be watching is "Dredd". It's more faithful to the source material.
Look at what we have coming out Friday! 😉
I like show she sniffed out a plot twist by noticing actors wear contact lenses.
I can't wait for you guys to watch the more faithful adaptation of *Judge Dredd* later this week.
Stallone said "Yo" primarily in his Rocky films. I am not sure he used that trademark expression in any of his other films because it was a personality trait of his Rocky character. Karl Urban has been in a number of entertaining films including the Star Trek franchise, the Lord of the Rings (Two Towers and Return of the King), Red, and one of the Bourne films.
And The Boys
I took a girlfriend to see this in the theater back on the day and we found it to be an okay movie.
I wasn't happy that he took his helmet off but I understood actor vanity and I didn't like the addition of the ABC robot as they are from far in the past in the comic book's timeline.
The modern, Karl Urban, _'DREDD'_ is much more faithful to the comic books.
_"I wasn't happy that he took his helmet off but I understood actor vanity"_
The way I hear it he was game with leaving the helmet on but the studio didn't like the idea.
_"The modern, Karl Urban, 'DREDD' is much more faithful to the comic books."_
No, they're about the same in that regard, just in different ways.
There's also a line in The Santa Clause where Armand Assante is on the list to check twice.
I don't care what anyone says about this movie and how it relates to the comics. It is a damn fine time and full of action.
Totally agree. I love this movie and Stallone. I think it’s great. The practical effects, the costume design, the music, the city, special effects. Stallone himself is great as Dredd.
I like the movie too… the comic book aspect is lost to me because I didn't realize it was a comic book series 🤔🤔🤔🤔
This isn't a remake of anything, The 2000s Dredd is the remake, and the only Judge Dredd worth watching imo. This one is shit, sorry to say.
No, the 2012 Dredd is not a remake.
It is a proper adaptation of the 70s British comic book that completely ignores this abortion of a movie.
The impression at the beginning 🤣
Please watch the real Dredd movie starring Karl Urban, this trash movie is not Judge Dredd at all.
Dredd is releasing on Friday ;)
the comic was called '2000 AD'
Armand Assante was good in The Odyssey mini series.
He was , he was also wonderful in another mini series. As napoleon bonaparte. ( napoleon and Josephine) with Jacqueline bisset .
Recycled food is people isn’t it?
I mess with surf ninjas!
He is the law.
Can't wait till Friday to see the reaction to Dredd.
“Yo”… WTF does that mean. 😂😂
This movie is hella funny, but i think Sly was sold a bill of goods
This movie is so bad i can't even watch this reaction xD The newer one is way more in tune with the comics.
Not really, in terms of being in tune with the comics the movies are about the same. A key thing is that the 1995 version has maybe 30% of the satire of the source material, the 2012 version maybe 10%.
Thanks guys .
Yes actually, guys. The walk out into "The Scorched Earth," IS a death sentence. It's like when an Old Lion or tiger or even wolf will go out of its way to fight another creature that it is not capable of killing. Just as the lion/wolf is choosing its own death with dignity, The walk into the Scorched Earth is the same thing.
@Ruaidhrí Ryan While It's not a guaranteed death sentence, the chances of it are very likely.
Cursed Earth.
pretty corny compared to dredd
you two are so funny
25 years ago I rented this from Blockbuster and lost it,
They charged me like $120 bucks that is what I remember most about his one
Armand Assante also has a role in the extremely hilarious "Striptease".
Fans of the comic book weren't enthusiastic when they heard Stallone had been cast as Dredd. The character of Judge Dredd was inspired by Dirty Harry, so the dream casting would have been Clint Eastwood.
I really hope you react to Dredd (2012) starring Karl Urban from The Boys, Lena Headey from Game of Thrones, Olivia Thilby, Wood Harris from Remeber the Titins, Domhnall Gleeson (Star Wars)
This Dredd is all kinds of goofiness, but it has some charm in a 90's kinda way. LAW!!! 🤣🤣🤣
For another Statue of Liberty fight - Remo Williams: The Adventure Begins, with recently departed Fred Ward.
In all the Dredd comics, we never got to see his face - The very fact that we didn't get to know him was a part of hid character.
Not a remake. The first gets slagged off but its quite close to the early, sillier comics from the 70's & 80's (e.g. Walter the Wobot and Dredd's housekeeper) where the violence was a counterpoint and yes Dredd was seen without his helmet but in silhouette. The 2012 Dredd is very much 90's & 2000's where it was reproduced in colour print and the violence seemed more graphic but the humour remained. 2012 Dredd is the best though.
Waiiiiit! She's only seen Escape plan, Judge Dredd and Demolition man, and Last blood? Not Rocky? Not First Blood? I think she'll fall in love with Rock as a character. I mean...platonic love, of course!
Controversial take...
I do prefer the newer Dredd BUT still enjoy this one.
But the way Stallone played Dredd makes me kinda wish he played either a Primarch or Space Marine in a Warhammer 40K series/movie/game.
Her "I AM THE LAW!" wasn't half bad.
You talk about how tyrannical the judge system is, but do keep in mind they are living in a post-apocalyptic society.
They built about six Lawmaster bikes for this: four with 30cc strimmer engines that could barely move, and were just for actors to arrive and leave on, and a couple with 650cc trail bike engines for the stunt guys. Sly wasn't impressed with the low-powered one, insisted on test-riding the 650cc version, rode it around the yard at the studios a couple of times, then promptly rode it out of the gate and off down the public road. The stunt director and the producer looked at each other for a stunned moment and said something like "shit, that thing isn't even remotely street-legal!" before the stunt director jumped on the other one and chased off after Sly along the Engish country roads to get him back before he got arrested.
They had the prop bikes at the NEC Motorbike Show in Birmingham that year. They were very disappointing when you could see them up close under harsh lighting: the fact that they were all just slapped together from foam and gaffer tape was painfully apparent. A good lesson in how effective 'movie magic' (i.e. lighting and cinematography) is...
one of the funnest action movies ever!
Probably would not win a poll but the Bounty (triple remake) Mel Gibson, Anthony Hopkins, with Daniel Day Lewis, Liam Neeson and Tahiti. Also the Dirty Dozen (set the template for get the tough guys together and go on a daring action adventure.
One of these two 'features' contains the character Judge Joe Dredd. The other bares NO RELATION to Judge Dredd and contains Sly.
Mega City one covers the eastern coast from Montreal to Georgia (seen in the movie briefly are Mega City 2 west Coast Mega City 3 (Texas City) Las Vegas and Uranium City (Canada) plus many others around the world
