It just kills me that we haven’t managed to get any form of dark judges off the pages with the exception of the ps game. You’d really think they’d be chomping at the bit to use them for films hell even an animated film. With the amount of dc animated films no one has tested the idea of judgement on Gotham It’s a sad state of affairs that rebellion hasn’t done more with the 2000ad properties so many brilliant concepts not just dredd but rogue trooper, nemesis, flesh etc could be brilliant films or tv shows.

Great video, but it reminds me how sad I was that it never got a sequel. Until this video I genuinely thought that Dredd was in part a remake of Raid Redemption. It is so weird how we sometimes get unrelated movies that have a very similar premise come out at the same time.

Whoa.

I would think that Charleton Heston's first ever nude scene was at the oasis where Taylor, Dodge, and Landon were skinny dipping.

Star Trek 2 and Transformers Beast Wars are good examples of just because they didn’t much about the the franchise makes it a bad thing.

Apparently Nelson Shin helped worked on the lightsaber animation on the first Star Wars movie.

The Killing of Optimus Prime is a cautionary tale: Take care of your beloved fictional characters. While there are benefits in killing Prime in terms of story telling, the reality is that Hasbro got rid of him just to make way to sell new toys (I feel like Dinobot’s death in Beast Wars was handled a bit better imo). Imagine if Lucasfilm made a Star Wars sequel Trilogy and carelessly got rid of the old cast just to make way for new characters we barely know or care about. Oh wait…

Good movie, the closest we got to a real new Robocop movie (I mean the tone). I can totally imagine a sequel to Robocop 1 set 20 years later, Delta City being a mess, and Robocop and officer Lewis are sent to the mega building. (let's ignore Robocop 2 and 3).

I never knew that Stallone actually wanted to keep the helmet on. He gained a point of respect for that.

Great analysis but I disagree on your interpretation of Case at the end. He wasn’t upset about Linda in the matrix with a version of him, he was happy about that. Second, he absolutely did move on. He had another relationship in the end. The reason he went back to his old life, as you have said, was that it was all he ever wanted. He’s just back to doing his thing. And now he has a woman that isn’t going to leave him to keep her “edge”.

Maybe it's because it is my only first-hand exposure to Dredd, but I thought the Stalone one was campy fun.

Dredd was so badly marketed, I accidentally ended up advertising for it when I was a camgirl. Some guy, with a clearly Judge Dredd handle, came into my camgirl chat, and since I maintained a very chatty, nerdy community, he found out about the film when I mentioned it. He was so thrilled he went dark for like 15 minutes as he googled the thing. And if someone is SUCH a hyper-fan they put it in their p0rn-browsing handle, and THAT GUY doesn't know about the movie the year it's coming out? You done messed up.

As bad as Judge Dredd might be, it’s not Stallone’s worst film, not even close. It’s nowhere near as bad as Stop! Or My Mom Will Shoot.

Honestly, I like the whole film but especially the score.

As a life long Dredd fan I loved Karl Urban's portrayal of the titular character, if only they had the money to make Mega City One what it should of been rather than looking like downtown LA, though I know it was filmed in South Africa. Having compiled a library of Dredd graphic novels over the years there is so much that could be done with the character, so many stories to tell.

That 3D fatigue thing really kneecapped it. I remember it hitting theaters, and it was at the point where people were not just tired of subpar 3D, but angry at the increased ticket prices and the way so many movies were moving to a potentially 3D only release. And Dredd walked into that perfect storm with near enough only a 3D release, and no back up plan if that didn't hit. Their whole US release strategy was to say it had been a UK hit, and it wasn't. They shot themselves in the foot over it. Tragically it was one of the very, very, very few 3D movies to actually use the effect as a medium in itself. If I had seen the 3D in a 2D release, I'd have gone back for the 3D version. I never watch the 3D version, but I would have for this, because I still wish I could have seen the 3D version on the big screen. If they did a special re-release anywhere near me, I'd be there. They had the perfect chance to double dip the audience, and squandered it.

The only reason I think some could even consider Judge Dredd being worse than Stop or My Mom Will Shoot is because of the name and reputation of the titular character and comic. With a name like Stop or My Mom Will Shoot, you at least know for certain its gonna be laughably awful.

Umm...that adaptation of Shogun is no longer being talked about - it's already happened (that's if the FX series is what Chuck is referring to). I'm not the least bit surprised Ed Neumeier was interested in adapting Dredd - just *imagine* what Verhoeven could have done with it.

Ok for the longest time I thought Stallon was the one that wanted to take off the helmet. Freaking exec meddling always messing things up. Glad to see how things changed for the magnificent 2012 Dredd.

Dredd is free on Roku for anyone who wants to give it another watch.

One thing it's kind of lowkey in the movie that I really love is that the Judge System is completely useless. When Dredd and Anderson are leaving central, Dredd says that they can only respond to about 3% of calls. So, for all their supposed brutality and efficiency, they are effectively useless.

2000AD and Dredd appeared two years before Mad Max, so Dredd wasn't influenced by it.

It’s been 12 years, but I still hope for some kind of sequel, the property has so much potential

Wait people think Judge Dread is worse than such films as Stop or My Mom Will Shoot? I mean Stallone has made a lot of films and several of those are pretty bad. Maybe Judge Dredd is the worst of those with Stallone as the star (I haven't actually seen Stop or My Mom Will Shoot so I can't in all honesty compare them), but I feel like its not worse than say Spy Kids 3 where Stallone played the villain.

To this day i do not understand the hate for the sylvester stalone version. The mandatory comedic relief character would have been a thing regardless due to studio meddling. Stalone didn't do a bad job at all. The Studio's aim for a PG-13 rating is what made it what it was. Only now people are realising that aiming for a PG-13 rating movie is a bad thing after blockbuster went out of business. Before that any R rated movie could be profitable on the home VHS market but DVD-streaming killed that market. So now we're stuck with PG-13 movies or academy award aimed movies. There is no R market for studios so we now get them rarely. The story in the Stalone one was good but the pg-13 aim is what did it in.

Aside from the helmet coming off (you already have Stallone's name on the poster, you don't need to shove his face everywhere), the original movie isn't that bad. It's certainly better than Stop or My Mom Will Shoot.

Comic books weren't really part of my childhood so I had no preconceived notion of what Dredd was. I didn't mind the Stallone version, it was meant to have a more comic book feel in the same way that the Burton Batman's did. To me the best element was actually Armand Assante's performance in the same way Nicholson's performance added weight to a comic book role. The 2012 version was a much more enjoyable movie with darker tone. To mirror the Batman comparison, it was much more Nolanesque. Even though I enjoyed Lena Headey's performance, I think your short breakdown of her portrayal makes me appreciate it that little bit more.

me listening to this video while doing a soduko "28 days later", oh that's a good movie. "sunshine" damn i love that movie too, "the last king of scotland" hold up, are you s**tting me? no onder this movie was so awesome.

It was McDonald's, Burger King and Green Giant that sued IPC. It was settled out of court. The original story was reprinted in it's entirety in 2016

The first and the last film I've ever seen in 3D. And I'm confident I do not need any other.

You alwayz elevate the material that you cover.

Been reading 2000 AD since Issue #1 and Judge Dredd since Issue #2, never missed a single one. That's 2394 Progs, not counting specials, Megazine and spin-offs! God I feel old.

I watched the Stallone film in theaters with my father when I was a kid. I actually liked it. Well except for rob s

You know, I’ve always wondered why after the huge success of Batman 89, studios went for adapting comics that the general public never heard of. It never occurred to me that the specific studios had all the rights tied up. Makes me wonder if that wasn’t the case if we would’ve gotten the modern comic book boom in the 90s with Spider-Man and such.

No mention of the guys from the raid stealing the idea?

The one thing Judge Dredd did for American comic fans was it introduced us to a sorcerer of an artist named Brian Boland.

The reason the four segments have never been reprinted came during The Cursed Earth storyline where one town was predicated on Colonel Sanders and the other town worshipped Ronald Macdonald. Both town’s feuded with each other over which restaurant god was better. Speedy Alcaseltzer and The Jolly Green Giant showed up in the strip. I don’t think the strips have ever been reprinted in their original form due to worries of getting sued by the corporate rights holders.

Schwarzenegger would have made a better Dredd

I'm anxious to watch this lest I shout at the screen at some point. But thank you for covering Britain's depiction of America's greatest lawman.

There's that insightful backdrop that I missed when Chuck put out the movie review three weeks ago!

You can't fight a war and keep your principles intact because war is ugly and dirty meaning nobody regardless of how pure their soul is, will never never come back clean.

This is one of my favorite movies. I was in middle school when it came out, and I was crushed they didn't actually engage at Pearl Harbor on 7 Dec 1941. As an adult... I love the movie as it is.

13:45 - Just as I was about to type in my complaint about the pronunciation...

Finally found it again. I love this AMV!

Maybe the real Zeroth law was the friends we made along the way...

Spoilers for I, Robot 😭

On a vaguely related note, it personally blew my mind a bit when I watched Demolition Man again recently and realised... he's John Spartan. He gets frozen, and brought out of cryo when the world needs him. He is the original Master Chief. Given Bungie's reference-heavy leanings, it can't be coincidence.

5:43 I think this is seen when that reporter tried to put a price on that kid he rescued, saying that she wasn't worth saving. The kid and Spartan both disagreed. No life is worth less than things. End of story.

I think the concept of section 31 was pointless, because this episode does what that entire concept does, without corrupting the Federation

After watching this series, Disney buying Marvel is so funny
