Demolition Man

Rating:
Summary: EXCELLENT!
Review: Definitely a great movie, Demolition Man, brings to the screen the story of a police officer who is released after spending 36 years frozen in a new high-tech cryo-prison, in order to hunt down his arch-nemesis, who also happens to be the one responsible for sending him to prison in the first place.
The film combines humor, action and adventure making it one of the best of its kind.
Needless to say, Sylvester Stallone, Wesley Snipes, Sandra Bullock, Rob Schneider, and the rest of the cast have truly outdone themselves with their performances, which are outstanding to say the least! All the actors, without exceptions, give it their 100% and it really shows (the chemistry is AMAZING)!
The setting, the dialogues, the special effects, the music and the costumes are all wonderful!
In short, it is a movie definitely worth watching and one to seriously consider adding to your movie collection! Strongly recommended along with Judge Dredd.

Summary: funny, touching and more
Review: Snipes is hilarious, so is Stallone, and Bullock
everyone in this film really adds texture to the whole movie. wether good or bad guy.

I have this on dvd and love it. watched it 5 times already. a classic comedy/action movie. not only that. saw it 8 times on tv. and still loved it. the dialogue is crafty if you don't mind cussing for humor with it. very creative plot. funny at times. shocking in how violent it can get in parts. but all around a great action comedy.

Summary: Taco Bell - Pizza Hut issue...
Review: Hi... I don't know if you already fuund a solutions about this issue. I just found out why!

This DVD was probably made from the international edition which was digitally modified to remove Taco Bell and insert Pizza Hut. The reason is the following: to keep the effectiveness of the product placement operation.
In simple words, Taco bell was not very famous abroad and was replaced in the international edition with Pizza Hut in video and audio presence too.
Of course they are brands of the same gruop (Pepsi): it was something coordinated with the producer and the corporate involved.
I hope this will help you...

Sorry about my english language... I'm italian and I wrote this quickly!

Bye!

Summary: Wesley Snipes takes over the movie and makes you forget Sly.
Review: Wes usually takes the hero role but maybe he should consider taking more villians. He makes Simon Phoenix a vibrant crackling character that really owns this movie. Everyone does a game job and seems to be having fun in this one. Even Sly is tolerable!

The film begins in present day and then catapults into futuristic LA after the world is nearly destroyed by our violent tendencies. As Phoenix opines "the world has turned into a bunch of robed sissies". How do our hero and villian get transported into time? Well it seems a mix up back in the day got our two leads locked in cryo-prison where they stayed frozen in their distinctive eras. At a parole hearing Phoenix escapes and the new world is needless to say ill equipped to handle a criminal as violent as he is. This leads to the reanimation of Stallone and the chase is on.

They do a good job with the fish out of water element and as I said they have some good supporting work. Bullock, Leary, and Bratt do good jobs in their roles and the story while a little flat at times never bogs down too much. The movie knows it is here to entertain and it does that in spades.

Summary: Everybody sing the Armour hot dogs jingle!
Review: This is a fan-freakin'-tastic sci-fi about a futuristic fascist government ruled by an evil despot "Big Brother" who recruits a violent gang leader from the 20th century to assassinate the leader of the resistance who lives underground where the despot cannot monitor him. The problem is that the despot cannot control the gangster who wreaks even more havok now than he did in the past. The police decide to recruit a tough 20th century cop to go after the 20th century gangster, but the cop has a hard time fitting in and following the ludicrous laws of the future. The action and the humor get really good from there.

Summary: Demolition Man, starring: Barbequed Pork?--no, Stallone
Review: Sylvester Stallone slurs his way through another explosion-encased attempt at a movie. Good God, I'm sorry--but deep down, you know that's how it goes. I just feel sorry for the guy who has to clean up the bullet blanks at the end of each take (and Stallone's acting coach--ZING!).
Wesley Snipes is in this too as a flamboyant, clown-like gangster with bullets and guns and the intention of wearing parachute pants...that's how his character acts. But hey, it was the 80's version of the future, so if you didn't have parachute pants or metal shoulder pads, you were pretty much a loser.
I think there is a woman in this to, but it was hard to tell through all of the gun smoke.

Stallone would be at the bottom of my list if it wasn't for people like Steven Segal and (most of all) Jean-Claude Van Damme. Human meatloaf....GOD!

Review: Great movie, had to post this somewhere. Watch the hearing list after Simon Phoenix breaks out, the second name on the list is Scott Peterson. They predicted the future, how much better could the movie be!

Summary: DVD Details
Review: I just rented this film from NetFlix, and it must be a different version than what some people here have reported receiving, because it does have the commentary by director Marco Brambilla and producer Joel Silver, and the actors still say "Taco Bell" in it. This appears to be what Amazon is advertising, but not delivering. Why would they go back later and edit out the name of a company, only to replace it with another name which is also owned by the same people? (Pepsi owns Taco Bell and Pizza Hut.) And did they do the commentary over without Silver, or just cut him out? It doesn't seem like it would make much sense with only one of them talking.

Summary: NZ Beware
Review: If you bought this like me expecting the Joel Silver commentary; it wasn't on there. Major dissappointment. Also in the version I purchased all references to Taco Bell had been replaced with Pizza Hut. Diff from what I saw at the pix. Loved this movie but dissappointed by this version. Box misled me into thinking extra features were on there. I should have looked closer. 5 stars for the movie though!

Summary: Very Entertaining!
Review: Stallone in one of his better roles as a cop frozen in suspended animation as part of a jail sentence. He is awakened several years later because his arch-nemesis (Wesley Snipes)was also awakened from suspended animation and the pacifist future cops have no clue how to stop him. Stallone's rough ways do not bode well for those in charge but he is worshipped as a hero by his new partner (Sandra Bullock). Great exchanges of dialogue and action scenes between Stallone and Snipes. A great deal of comic relief as old commercial jingles have become popular music and Stallone doesn't know how to use the future bathroom or bond with a future woman (Bullock).
