Summary: Don't mess with a Demolitionary Man...
Review: No wait!?! I alway get that song title mixed up with The Eurthymics 'Missionary Man'...
I also got this DVD mixed up with one with a commentary and theatrical trailer!!
Which was missing from my one purchased in New Zealand. South Pacific buyers BEWARE when buying locally!!
Read what is offered on the back not what is listed on the inside!! Same packaging - Different DVD...
And for the first time in all my viewings of this action favourite - did I hear 'Pizza Hut' dubbed over Stallones obvious visual pronunciation of 'Taco Bell'!!
....
Speaking of yummies!?! Did Ms Bullock ...ever look so appealing in a movie!?!?! Wow!! Stallone was great!! Funny and charming as ever... Definitely one of his best!! Even the kid selling it to me had to smile and comment accordinly... 'Great movie!!'
Wesley Snipes was hialarious!!
I loved this film from 'wo to go'... only the other way round - cos we all know ' go' comes first and 'wo' comes at the end... Which is now!! :-)

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Wesley Snipes Rocks!
Review: Before Blade, this was the film that made Wesley Snipes look cool! Stallone doesn't look too bad, too, it's just that, well, it's Stallone.

You know you're watching a John Woo movie if...

1. Most everyone is wearing a black trenchcoat.
2. Half the movie is in slow motion.
3. Heros are generally proceeded by doves or other glowing, symbolic
items of mass courage.
4. More than one helicopter explodes.
5. Everyone cool wears sunglasses and eventually removes them in a
slow-motion, classy mannor.
6. Character names are unusual, but deeply representative.
7. Motorcycles are rampant.
8. The hero can shoot the badguy while jumping through fire, swinging
from a rope, falling down an elevator shaft or riding on the
front wheel of a motorcycle while spinning a
one-hundred-eighty degree circle at sixty miles per hour.
9. The plot generally revolves around the villian's intent on mass
destruction.
10. Ammunition lasts more than the clip can hold. MUCH more.
11. Always more than one gun shoots at the same time.
12. By the end of the movie everything that isn't exploding has
already exploded.

Summary: Forget Sly!
Review: To one of the previous reviewers: No you're not alone in thinking Sandra Bullock looks cute in her cop uniform. Forget Stallone, Sandra's tight pants do it for me. Enjoy!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Better than most people seem to think it is...
Review: Okay, a lot of people don't like this move. Some criticisms: The satire is heavy handed.

Yes, some of the acting is quite wooden.

and it is open to interpretation about who the above ground and below ground crowd is supposed to be, politically.

But: Even if you don't like Stallone (and a lot of people don't) or Bullocks (and a lot of people don't), Snipes and Leary make this worth watching...

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: One of the last GOOD Sly movies.
Review: I like this movie for a variety of reasons: 1) The "be well" future is just prime for some great one liners. 2) The action sequences aren't the usual "Bad guys 1&2, approach the hero one at a time and get kicked in the head. Bad guys 3-7, stand there looking stupid." 3) The plot is original. A LOT of action movies lately have been one of maybe three or four formulaic plots (bad guy with a nuke, rescue your illegitimate son, etc..) 4) Denis Leary. I love his sarcasm and thought he was great in the role of Edgar Friendly. This movie is great for the price, it's on TV so little now you really have to own it if you want to watch it. This text refers to the DVD version.

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: Could have been worse.
Review: Like most Stallone films in the 90s, Demolition Man lacks much of a story. It also, has some of the worst dialogue to "grace" a Sci-Fi film.

What saves this movie from the being as bad as say Judge Dread, is two things. One, is Weasly Snipes. While Stallone gives his usual, [bad] performance, Snipes does a very good job of the villian. Second, some of the action scenes are rather enjoyable.

Don't kid yourself into think this is a great movie. However, if you want some high-paced futuristic action, you could do worse.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: One of the best Stallone's movies
Review: this is a very good movie.sylvester stallone and wesley snipes make a great team.a lot of action here.also comedy.it takes place in the future.this movie is good because it combines action and comedy fairly well.get it,its good

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Watch Sylvester Stallone and Sandra Bullock having sex!!!
Review: The movie is kind of bad. The plot is really stupid. Many important personages were not well developed. There were not even good actions. But, what the hell! I watched the movie several times and I have really enjoyed it. Why? Because Sylvester Stallone and Sandra Bullock just saved this stupid film from crash. Her sweet way and nice smile actually transformed this movie from substandard to great. Stallone's acting and humor was terrific. Thus, this movie is really worth watching. Watch how Bullock said to Stallone quite innocently: "Would you like to have a sex?" Wow! You should see it yourself!

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: A movie that needs cryo rehab
Review: DEMOLTION MAN is perhaps one of the dumbest of the "dumb action" action movies, due to it's dialouge and handle on how a near future society might behave and act. DEMOLITION MAN is also a lot of fun, not the most fun I've ever had at a movie, but fun nonetheless in part to the film's at times, dumb nature.

Stallone's character Officer John Spartan has finally captured his arch nemisis Simon Phoenix (Snipes) and locked him up. However, Spartan's often brutal practices on the job along with Phoenix's evil attitude have landed them both into a cryogenic rehabilitation. Both can re-enter society when their rehab is deemed complete.

It is now the early part of the 21st century and Phoenix has been broken out of his cryo-prison and is running amok in a super-peacy society that can't control him. (Cops don't carry guns only batons, using profanity can get you fined, Taco Bell won the "Francize War" and is the only restaurant around and don't even ask about sex, it's weird.) The local San Angeles (you heard right,) police force needs to unleash Spartan so he can restore order and stop Phoenix. Spartan is viewed as either a gunslining old-tyme hero by some or as a brow furrowing caveman by the others. Spartans new partner Huxley (Sandra Bullock, pre SPEED) is assigned as his partner and helps Spartan adjust to his new surroundings as they together must stop Phoenix's chaos streak.

Certainly not the greatest action movie out there, but for a action fan, it has plenty of action to keep one entertained. Especially one who is a fan of the Future Society action movie. A step either ahead or behind Stallone's JUDGE DREDD but with both behind CLIFFHANGER. Two little notes before I move on. 1 "Murder,Death,Kill" is the dumbest expression I may have ever heard in a movie. 2 Am I alone in thinking that Sandra Bullock looks cute in that cop outfit of hers?

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: Good fun but not more
Review: One of the few Stallone movies I like. He's fun to watch in this one and Sandra Bullock adds her naive sweetness to it. The movie has no depth but allows some entertaining glimpses into the future. Easy entertainment!
