I never realised this was ever considered a bad film.
This is an all time classic.
I don't think the critics back then understood the social commentary on PC culture
@@peoples2296 Or else they thought it was too over the top. Haha.
Voz same here they already scraped the bottom of the barrel apparently. So now they are picking movies that predict the future. An sjw future
@@peoples2296 A critic then and now is the same thing. It's just someone that watches a movie with their head up their ass.
Yeah a lot of people thought that this movie considers itself smarter than audience including Quentin Tarantino
My father and I were movie buddies when I was a teenager. Father daughter night was dinner and a movie. Sadly my father passed away in 1993. This was the last movie that we saw together before he died in December of that year. To this day this movie holds a special place in my heart. Love you dad.
+Mara's Musings Me and my dad also both love this movie.
+Mara's Musings That's a very sweet story. Thank you for sharing it with us.
Sorry for your lost
Aw , how sweet.
Mara's Musings I understand how you feel, my Dad was my movie buddy too! Sadly he passed away on February 9th 2014! I really miss going to the movies with my Dad! Without a doubt some of the best times in my life! I am sorry that you lost your Father in 1993! Hope you have a great day and keep going to the movies and enjoy them and remember your Father fondly!
Demolition Man is hugely underrated as a movie
Daylight is also underrated
I dont label demolition man good bad its accidentally dumb smart
Gets more relevant every year
Yep,
I don't think it's underrated. _Everyone_ loves Demolition Man. Maybe not when it was released, but definitely now.
Some movies don't need a sequel.
They're good as stand alone works.
Best way to move on to something better.
agreed
once upon a time vin disel said the SAME thing about fast and the furious 1st movie............... it only took a truck load of money and BAM we got 10 now lol.
FrankLightheart - I personally think a reboot of the movie made today /could/ be really good. Update some of the ideology (not much) and the setting, and keep the script, it fits today too :P
@@the_mad_ratter no thanks. And the parody of a future PC culture wouldn't work because that is what we are living in.
My goodness Sandra Bullock looks so good in this movie.
+CampingMIG
She still looks good.
+whiterabbit75 She is a perfect (would-be) cougar.
Todd Bollinger
She's only 11 years older than me, but I'd still call her a cougar if that's what it would take.
I'd say ten years or older is cougar enough. She's a fox.
Todd Bollinger
Wow, it's been ages since I heard someone call a woman a fox. Party on, Wayne.
Who wants a "Demolition Man Director's Cut"?:)
Info overload , fun movie
Hell yeah!
For sure. I've always wanted to see the Stallone/ Ventura fight scene
This movie was released three times and no extra content, I hope for a 4K release that includes all the deleted scenes for once...
@Jacob Zondag no Broadway musicals either...well, that might be goofy enough to actually be good ...depending on the recreational pharmaceuticals consumed prior or during the actual viewing (not that i need chemical assistance to make a fool of myself...but others might need a bit more help)
What else is there to say? I love this movie! Stallone and Snipes have really good chemistry and play wonderfully off each other. The dialogue is every bit as entertaining as the action and it`s one of those movies that feels like it never gets old.
They would actually star in The Expendables
One of the finest action films ever. I was hooked to this movie as a kid.
One of my faves when I was younger. Still holds up today.
Scarily so
This is definitely a classic. It has the right amount of humor and action. Wesley is awesome as Simon Phoenix and Sly is pretty good at playing the hero. I never get tired of watching this movie.
Aren't Taco Bell and Pizza Hut owned by the same company now? So in a way, both versions were right.
hmm this sounds scary even in 2019.... they expanded prety far even now..
Yum Brands, also owns KFC
Yup. Same company used to own Frito-Lay and KFC.
Originally, Pepsico owned them. Then Pepsi decide to get out of the fast food restaurant business and spun off a company that later became Yum Brands.
"At least we found out how those three seashells work!"
Wait, what? *Googles furiously*
I did that too....... its not all what I thought 🤢
Demolition Man is probably my all time favourite Sylvester Stallone film because it has a bit of everything, the kind of film you hardly ever see anymore. Plus it was released in 1993, the year I was born which makes it even more awesome!
***** I love everything Stallone does even Judge Dredd, the movie is not perfect but I love it for what it is instead of hating it for what it isn't. It's got great action sequences, a cool story and an amazing use of miniatures!
Rambo First blood for me
I turned 40 that year and enjoyed the hell out of Demolition Man. Still play it every few months.
Over the top
This is one of my absolute favorite films. Peak Wesley, peak Sly, outstanding set design and great script.
Demolition Man was a better Judge Dredd film than the Judge Dredd film!
I really like Demolition Man will be better than Judge Dredd, eh, my friends?
Say hello to those animes on Crunchyroll for this month, right, my friends?
I like both films.
I always thought the same thing.
I like both but demolition man is better.
Amen to that.
One of my favorite 90's action comedies!
Awesome movie, and for the most part, it still does hold up.
FUN FACT Hall of Violence (2:25) uses the same typographic font as Diablo (the game)
It's been 3 years of this comment but i need more explenation of what typographic font is
@@Shiningforceking basically the style and design of the font
Los Angeles was demilitarized and in complete chaos ? well, at least they got THAT part right ,lmao
My ribs hurt from the truth of this ughhhh lol
Antifa uses peaceful protest to stop fascist Trump. Antifascism is trying to be labelled as militant so that the right-wing fascist can attempt to justify their violence.
And this point will be lost on you, but Hitler also accused Jews of bullshit violence so that he could justify the things he did to them. Every human wants to believe they are good, but Trump and the republicans are fueling mankind's worst traits and need to be stopped in 2020
@@TannerWilliam07
You're a special kind of stupid, aren't you?
@@TannerWilliam07 How many validated claims are there of actual Neo Nazis beating the shit out of someone in the past ten years? I'd wager not much more than 5 or 10. How many Antifa attacks? Damn near every month.
They are terrorists, and are dividing the country much more than the oompa loompa.
@@TannerWilliam07 I hate to break it to you, but unless you enhance your calm, your little heart won't last the next 5 1/2 years, I'm afraid. #Trump2020
7:28 Glenn Shadix was hired essentially to reprise his role from Beetlejuice. (and Bingo, and then again for Dunston Checks In)
So wait, is there actually a director's cut of this out there, because I'd actually like to see that?!
+Kyrozu Desoya same here, I'd love to see that!
+Kyrozu Desoya The novel for the movie had the subplot with the daughter in it, I'd really love to see a version that had that in it. It just seemed fitting that his daughter would be a rebel ;)
People are clearly assuming Jesse Ventura's character is eliminated by the cryo-prison blown up as there could be men already unfrozen awaiting new recruits.
The Director's Cut is the same but they have added a 15 minutes scene with Rob Schneider demonstrating to Stallone how to use the 3 Sea Shells.
I fucking love this film. I remember going to see it and falling in love with Sandra Bullock. Why didn't they make this into a franchise?
Because Taco Bell won the franchise wars.
HappyBeezerStudios - by Lord_Mogul nice
Because someone was smart enough to realize that not every good movie is franchise fodder.
Oh I'm sure someone tried
_Demolition_ _Man_, a f*cking awesome movie. I highly doubt a reboot of this is unlikely, unless Hollywood is really that stupid enough to pull such an act.
0:11 "The laughs start September 11th!"
Damn
Thanks Hollywood, very cool.
More predictive programming
Hol' up
Ill have to look up that 3 sea shell thing.
'I have a bag of seashells on my toilet as a decoration?' I said 'Okay, I'll make something out of that.'
You're supposed to use two to grab the poop out and the 3rd to scrape
@@admiralswallower1882 Ewww! How is that more sanitary and BETTER than toilet paper?!!
Admiral Swallower is correct. Chu pool da poo and scarape.
Nah... Its one up, one down and one to polish.
The first time I watched this was when my family and I were going to Florida for the first back in 1999 on TV at a family friend's house. Awesome review keep them coming!
Around 1:06 you pass by a very interesting trivia point of this story. The writer who wrote the screenplay that Silver and the studio went with (Peter Lenkov) was only in his 20s at the time, and that success of writing Demolition Man was a career springboard and key step in eventually becoming the showrunner for a number of TV action shows- most notably the current incarnations of Hawaii Five-0, Magnum P.I. and Macgyver. Which shouldn't be surprising... if you watch the early seasons of Five-0, it frequently celebrates gratuitous 80s style action in a kinda similar fashion as Demo Man.
I remember watching this on pay per view.
Oh... the 90s. Things were fun.
Demolition Man was my favorite growing up. Sandra Bullock was my crush.
One of my all time favorite action films.
"somebody put me back in the fridge"
I was living in Australia when this came out in cinemas. I distinctly remember that in the print that I saw, the original references to Taco Bell were intact. I remember precisely because I thought at the time, "Hardly anyone in this audience is gonna know what Taco Bell is!" Alas, I have no proof, so all I get in response is various (impossible) explanations of how I must've misremembered it.
You were right, it was the same here in NZ, and I saw it on TV (and watched it repeatedly afterwards). It was many years before I saw any reference to it being dubbed to Pizza Hut. I wonder if the pizza hut dub was perhaps only for the UK.
I don't know why people assume that every other country received an altered version.
You missed one thing that I know of:
Rob Schneider was uncredited in the film because he did it for free. Most likely to keep his SAG membership.
Oscar is hysterical.
7:05 Random Carrot on Rob Schneider LOL
Rob Schnider is ... A Carrot lol
Demo Man is a classic. Snipes killed it Simon Phoenix! Would love to see a remake!
This might be one of my favorite movies of all time. A Movie that knows exactly what it set out to be and everything was perfect. Cast, writing, action, all just perfect. So rewatch able and so much fun that has aged so well. Thank you demolition man. I’m so glad this movie exists
I've seen this film around 60 times during the mid-90s until I memorized every line of dialogue....and I've loved Sandra Bullock before it was cool. lol
Jack Black AKA Extra at large in the early 90's.
+Cory Kamermans ahh a fat jokes. its funny it's true.
Didn't mean it as a fat joke but if you took it that way thats cool with me. I just meant the dude was in practically everything, i think he spent many an hour in extra's casting waiting rooms.
My favorite 'Jack Black playing a nobody' role is from The Jackal
Man, I'm so freaking happy the casting went the way it did. Such a great action comedy.
*_"Valley of the Jolly Green Giant!!"_*
😆😆😆😆
Seeing this in my feed today made me so happy.
Another brilliant "Exploring" of a classic. Love this.
This movie will forever hold a special place in my list of favorite movies
The running man could be a good follow up for an 'exploring' episode. I remember both these shows playing back to back on those TBS Friday nights.
Thanks for doing these reviews Mr. T!
I don't get how much actors declined the role of a villain, I mean if I was an actor and I got a draft like Demolition Man I would accept the role with ease.
+Joakim Myanna Wesley Snipes is a much better villain for this movie than Van Damme, Stallone or Chan.
+Joakim Myanna Yeah, he steals the show.
+Joakim Myanna I REALLY can't see Jackie Chan playing a villain like Simon.
+Joakim Myanna At the time, Van Damme and Seagal weren't great actors and only now can Van Damme's acting be considered "okay". Chan's nice guy image couldn't pull off what would've been needed to be Phoenix. Seagal...is just Seagal
+Joakim Myanna And he wasn't a pure villain really, he's more of a Magneto type, a guy who enjoys tearing down the sick society that he lives in.
This film predicted so many things it's freaky, rfid chips, SJWs/PC culture, voice activated technology, Arnold Schwarzenegger holding a political office, video calls, ipads, self driving cars, just to name a few..
Pip Stanton I remember feeling at the time Arnold a politician no freaking way
don't forget Detroit burning to the ground.
I remember the box said, "Rated R, for non stop action and violence" Probably the best R rating I've ever seen
One of my favorite 90s movies. I still quote it to this day -- I love telling people to "enhance your calm"
Mellow greetings. What...seems to be your boggle ? - My "boggle" ?!
That disgusted face he makes is priceless
Damn I miss Wesley Snipes..I already loved him in the 90s since New Jack City though as a kid he use to scare me a bit ..then 98 came and Blade and then Blade 2(unfortunately probably his last good or great movie)...I love mahershala Ali too but it's gonna be hard to be as iconic as WS was as Blade
How much do you weigh? 😏
I just can't get enough of your videos. you're easily my favorite TH-camr.
+Hunter Hudson Thank you!
One of my favourite childhood movies. I freaking love it.
I probably watched this and Terminator 2 on VHS 1000 times as a kid. I'm 36 and me and my brother still randomly joke that someone doesn't know how to use the three seashells. And I often instruct him to approach a situation with "extreme assertiveness."
Demolition man is awesome! And cliffhanger too!!
I loved it as a kid! Yes, we were watching this when we were about 7-9 years old... good old time ey... when a kid could play Doom and GTA without every SJW being afraid that our poop won't smell like roses...
Another great episode of "Exploring" on one of my all time favorite films Demolition Man. A film that is still to this day not only very relevant, but still entertaining as hell.
Great review, my man. This is one of my favorite movies; Stallone, Snipes, you can't get better than this!
This movie was definitely ahead of its time. 🧐
If you and Oliver Harper aren't already secretly collaborating then you need to
I like your channel better than the other ones that review older movies. Kinds cool for nostalgia. And you arent over the top and whiny.
This movie was a masterpiece... When it came out, it was a great action, futuristic comedy. Now it was a future-telling movie, predicting our current technology, and the falling of our society. That makes it an even greater movie, because it could be made today, and would still hold up... Also... Sandra Bullock... OH YES!
I love that PC culture has basically been allowed to run amuck in reality.
This is a fantastic channel! Love your style! This channel needs more subscribers!
+turboplumber Thank you!
agreed - a lot of these are movies that I liked but I don't feel like sitting through the whole thing again. This way I get a good recap :^D
I've watched at least 100 of your videos this week. So interesting keep up the good work :)
Thanks for this video. Demolition Man is one of my favorite movies from the 90's.
And that future vision where PC culture was allowed to run unchecked is now coming true.
Who would have thought a movie from Sly would be one of the most accurate at predicting the future?
I liked Edgar Friendly's libertarian speech. It feels like action movies were starting to become a parody of themselves in the later 80's and early 90's with some exceptions, so that's why I didn't really notice the parody. But what really stuck to me was the mocking of PC culture.
Funny thing is i always felt most of Segal's movies seemed like parodies of action movies as they had a odd exaggerated , hammy vibe about them and the hero character would always beat all the badguys even with all the circumstances stacked against him.
I still love this movie from it's release up to today. It never gets old!!
Hi There
I mean, although there are a lot of action scenes in it, I see this more as a comedy. Nevertheless, I love it to bits.
Regards
Gerann
How has your channel not blown up yet? Your content is always entertaining and well-researched!
I love this channel! One of my favorite, keep up the awesome work!!
Thank you!
agree in all things! one of the best movies to hold the years.............. i watched it a week ago in tv and hold incredibly well, almost all movie is fast passing not boring and every single time something is happening, never go stale(like some action movies does when they try to get emotionally attach to some character so you care for them).......10/10 review and movie also :)
I friggin love this movie! Great channel, nice to see the in depth information related to these cinematic gems 👍👍
my all time favorite movie. i saw this so many times, my brothers VHS cassette got worn out from all the rewinding
Great work as always Cecil! I love Demolition Man, it's one of my favorite Stallone films and Simon Phoenix is one of my favorite villains of all time. Honestly, movie is all the way awesome but Snipes is the best thing about it. It's damn true, the satire of the movie is more effective today than it was back in '93. Too bad about Warner Bros interfering in the post production as usual, but hey at least movie wasn't butchered like Cobra or Tango & Cash. Would love to see deleted scenes from the film, i read the original script and it really did felt like much more completed story than the one in the final cut. Funny how almost at the same day that Oliver Harper uploaded his commentary for the film you uploaded this exploring video.
Btw Cecil, not to be annoying or anything so i apologize in advance, but there are couple of things i was curious to ask you, and of course you don't have to answer if you don't want to. First, what do you think about Joy Ride (2001) and if you did see it which ending of the film do you prefer, original or theatrical one? Second, i recently uploaded some new stuff on my channel, including several rejected movie scores, so if you're curious to hear them, be my guest.
This is actually my favorite Stallone film. It's a bit dumb and a bit cheesy, but I love it nonetheless. It's just full of the right kind of silliness. :)
1:22 I think we could all get behind "Rhinestone Cobra."
Demolition man was amazing!!!! Such funny and over the top lines
"R" rating aside I'm shocked that Taco Bell was the only fast food chain that wanted to jump on that. I just figured they were chosen because it was a funnier and less obvious choice.
A lot of brands, even now, don't like being involved with R rated movies. When the remake of "Dawn of the Dead" was made, I remember them saying they apprached a lot companies about populating the fictional mall and no one wanted to do it, which is why all the stores are made up.
Taco Bell might be the "chosen" franchise in America and a most other countries, but in select countries they replaced TB with Pizza Hut. Ive seen clips of the Pizza Hut scenes used on conspiracy channels as a case of "The Mandela Effect".
Up until now I had only watched the Pizza Hut version and first heard about the Mandela effect a couple days ago and I was like what the fuck
That is kind of why I dismiss nintey percent of such stories. I'm sure most of them are people either intentionally or accidently spreading such misinformaiton and the rest are probably just poor memory and group suggestion.
One person remembers something one way, then gets to talking and someone else, subconsiously, convinces themselves they remember it that way and it takes off from there.
Van Itty People remember it as Pizza Hut, because the European version translated it to Pizza Hut
I agree, demolition man to me is still an underappreciated gem. Have you seen the DVD and bluray releases? They are terrible cuz its one of those films that deserves special features.
I always have to force people to sit down and watch this. They think it's going to be horrible when they hear about it. But then they see this really well done action/comedy. It's one of my favorite movies.
Dam, the rolling carpet imitating the street is genious! i loved the movie as a kid (i'm 30 now), i loved how crazy the villain was. Jean-Claude played the bad guy in karate kid because he was a newcomer at that time, than of course he wanted to be the good guy.
wow ,gr8 movie ...Sandra Bullock = totally red hot
+geese howard she's still amazingly hot at 50
id still totally fight you over her!
HorroRviXenKate she pushed me into puberty
D Sandoval Nice Prince reference lol!
HorroRviXenKate I dated a girl that looked just like her. Anytime I’d watch a Sandra Bullock movie with friends, they’d always be like, OMG, it’s Meredith!!
This future is happening.....fuck.
Man, I loved this movie. It's showing on HBO this month, I believe. It's one of my favorite action movies of the 90's. You know they even made a pinball machine of it as well. You're right Cecil, it's too late to make a sequel so they'll probably just remake it with younger actors and actresses .
Every year this movie becomes a documentary more and more
The three seashells yo, word.
+SegaCDUniverse Mike you still don't know how to use the three seashells. Time to put you back in the freezer CAVEMAN!! XD
So... how do the 3 seashells work?
If u ever find out please make a youtube video
I love the callback to this in The Hunger Games...
you use two like chopsticks to get rid of anything hanging, then the third to scrape away what's left. Simples.
The toilet has a bidet. The seashells are the buttons to operate it.
@@Thezuule1 No, the "using two seashells as chopsticks to remove anything hanging and then using the third to scrape away what's left" story is actually true. Sylvester Stallone himself said that that's how they were supposed to work. Here's part of the article I found on Google: How they work was once revealed by Stallone in a 2006 interview, explaining that a writer told him '...you hold two seashells like chopsticks, pull gently and scrape what’s left with the third.'
this and Starship Troopers were amazing social commentaries
Agreed
i can't believe i was talking shit about your explorations of these films. they're so damn intricate and clearly require a lot of digging. thanks so much for all your work.
Thank you :)
Haha I just saw Jack black as the usher in true romance.... Jesus.
Ok. Now I have to go rewatch that.
It's like seeing a young Hagrid in National Lampoon's European Vacation...
"Brave New World is about a future where everything you do is pre-determined so you won't offend anyone..."
Not entirely sure that was the actual point of the particular brand of government oppression created in Brave New World. Still, good video overall :)
Simple- same as all overly controlling governments: power.
Lol, I remember watching this at the local theater where I grew up in Irvine (when he says OC, almost all of those locations are in Irvine of the 405). Especially fun was when they used the Fluor Daniels building (which had been in a TON of movies), since my mom worked there for a while. 😂
This is still one of my favorite movies. To me it still holds up.
good recap fun flick
Demolition Man 2: The Case of the Three Seashells
God, I love this movie. Every time I'm flippin' through channels and it's on, I watch it. 5/5, A+, etc., etc.
This is where we are headed sadly with no stallone to save us! Great video cecil!
One of Stallone's best.
Getting instantly fined for wrong speak probably isn't unrealistic based on the current internet climate.
Demo man is a CLASSIC! Love that you did a review of this film!
I loved this movie!!!! A futuristic Cali, Sly being Sly, a young Sandra & Wesley as the villain. Action. Romance (a little) & Humor. Movie magic at its best. Favorite part when Wesley was saying “ Illuminate, deilluminate.”(never heard the words until then lol)
