Good answer

This movie is a reference to Aldous Huxley's "Brave New World." The book had a lead character "John the Savage." The movie has "John Spartan." The book had the heroine Lenina Crowne. The movie has Lenina Huxley (same last name as the book's author). At some point in the movie, Wesley Snipes even says, "It's a brave new world." Some day schools will teach the classics, history, and stuff like that again.

@@xsanguine8 Of course it's believable, you just have to think of the timeline. The Franchise Wars are obviously what could happen in an unregulated capitalism environment. We see this today, when big companies get bigger and markets tend towards monopoly, like Disney in entertainment or Amazon. What probably happened here is that Taco Bell won the Franchise Wars and built a monopoly BEFORE the government and rules we see here were established. Then the health laws were installed and Taco Bell had adhere to it, but still is the only restaurant left. You can see that what they serve in this future has nothing to do with what the actual Taco Bell serves. And btw it was an obvious joke to pick an unhealthy restaurant.

This movie is a great beginners example of the Future Shock Sci-Fi genre. Stallone serves as the audience surrogate as they don't really explain much, you just get bombarded with the differences. The Three Seashells and the Franchise Wars are both prime examples.

12:18 ooooooh boy wait until you see a specific scene in Last Action Hero Fun fact, Taco Bell only paid to have their name and logo used in the US for this movie. In most of the world it doesn't exist now and even less back then, so they had to rerecord lines with the words "Pizza Hut" for most countries.

From the beginning, look at the shear number of things in this movie that either have or are starting to become true. Arnold wasn't governor yet by the time this movie was released. But in the movie he became governor then president. Self-driving cars. The general softening of society as we become more insulated by technology. The doctor basically having a meeting in his house via skype. etc.

The 3 seashells are basically bidet controls. Wash, rinse, dry. No need for toilet paper.

This movie was supposed to be a parody, not a documentary.

Wesley Snipes was excellent as the villain in "New Jack City." It is a classic urban crime drama, and arguably his most notable role outside of "White Men Can't Jump" alongside Woody Harrelson.

@Mason How could I forget the Blade movies!?! The first Blade movie can be credited with getting Marvel Studios up and running.

This movie depicts one of the darkest, most disturbing visions of the future ever postulated by a film. I mean, think about it: sex and junk food are illegal, the radio plays commercial jingles all day long, and all the restaurants are Taco Bell. I'd want to go back in the freezer, too.

Phoenix said "I'd lose my head, if it wasn't attached!" He was so right. -You do yourself over with the first seashell, then you use the second seashell, to see if you need to use the *third* seashell. Fun fact: the beaded dress Sandra Bullock wore was damaged during filming. Afterwards, Stallone bought it and gave it to Sandra.

The 3 sea shells is one of the great unsolved mysteries in cinematic history.

I had always assumed that the "franchise wars" was simply something like the real-life "cola wars" which we had in the 80s.: That it just refers to a period of intense competition.

Except if it was merely intense competition, I don't think Sandra Bullock's character would have spoken of it so seriously or have used the word "survived".

One of the best 90s action movies. Great casting especially Wesley Snipes.

At the premiere of GRAVITY, Sandra Bullock was literally asked, "How do the 3 seashells work in DEMOLITION MAN???" She basically said, "I always figured it was like a Bidet"

I'm not much of a Stallone fan, generally, but I did like the comedy "Oscar" and the action film "Assassins."

Considering toilets that have bidets already exist, the 3 seashells are a bit less atrocious to use as long as bidets are involved.

In the script, and maybe they filmed it and became a deleted scene, it was revealed that John Spartan's daughter is alive and is living among the people in the sewers.

I always liked the theory that Huxley was his daughter which adds a whole new twist to the movie.

I was 18 when this came out and remember seeing it in the theater, man this movie was epic 👌

At 23.29 Bullock said she learned to kick like that from Jackie Chan movies. This movie was released before Rumble in the Bronx so most Americans had never heard of Jackie Chan. It was a nice little way for Stallone to pay tribute to his fellow action star who was unknown to American audiences

"Taco Bell was the only restaurant that survived The Franchise wars" That's an action movie I would watch.

Judge Dredd. Another over the top futuristic sci fi action film with Stallone.

At the beginning of the movie phoenix says "I swear, I'd lose my head if it wasn't attached" foreshadowing his demise. Fire to start the film and ice to end it.

"That was the coolest thing I've seen in my entire life!" No pun intended, right?

White Men Can't Jump is another cool Wesley Snipes film. BTW, that is one of the best Squarespace ads I have ever seen 😉.

I love this movie! Mellow greetings, what seems to be your boggle? Fun fact, there are 2 versions of this movie. One with taco bell and another with pizza hut.

The 90's truly were the best for anyone who loved movies!!

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.' It's hard to say if such a technique would actually work in reality, which is to say nothing of how the shells themselves would be cleaned after usage. On reflection, it's easy to see why Demolition Man didn't explain how they work - or even worse, showed how they function.

In the movie, it's exaggerated to the dystopian max even in the private realm with the swear fines and so on. Even people in North Korea have more freedom.

The 3 seashell thing has been referenced a lot. It's even in Cyberpunk 2077 when you go into the bathroom in your apartment.

I vote for Cinebinge React for most creative sponsor break what a depressing future that would be. Sandra Bullock must have had a blast with that script there must be an Hilarious blooper reel. Snipes in blade

This was such a *smart* movie, which obviously was not the norm for '90s action flicks. They absolutely nailed the casting on the four primary characters (Stallone, Snipes, Bullock, and Leary), a good deal of thought went into creating this world, and the end result was just so memorable...the three seashells thing still exists as a meme to this day. White Men Can't Jump is another really good but lesser-known Wesley Snipes film, co-starring Woody Harrelson and Rosie Perez. New Jack City is a spectacular, but much more serious, Snipes film as well, with an excellent ensemble cast around him. And of course the iconic Blade series.

I don't think action movies aren' any more 'smart' now, largely being yet another marginally different movie in a franchise(ironically). There was considerably more variety then at a minimum(skydiving,surfing,rock climbing,firefighting,future,past,...), and no fewer were smart then compared to now. Unless dark & depressing is considered smart, that's way more common now.

@Harv72b

@@DoubleMonoLR What I mean about how smart this movie is lie in the tiny details which aren't really explained. As a prime example, Taco Bell winning the "franchise wars", which I take not to mean actual people shooting at each other but the different companies using cutthroat business tactics to undercut each other until only one remained. At the time Demolition Man was made & released, Taco Bell was still relatively new to the fast food franchise thing, at least compared to giants like McDonald's, Burger King, or even Kentucky Fried Chicken & Wendy's. Where they excelled was in offering incredible bang for your buck on their menu--it used to be quite a challenge to actually eat $5 worth of Taco Bell in a single sitting. We're talking back in a time when tacos were 39 cents apiece & a bean burrito only cost you 49. They were also among the first fast food places to offer free refills on sodas for dine-in customers. So it kind of made sense that Taco Bell would be the ones to survive the "franchise wars", rather than just being blatant product placement in a movie. The action genre has never really been known for assuming its audience was capable of connecting the dots without having everything explained in painful detail, so films like this one where they just incorporated things like that into their future reality and relied on the audience to figure out the "whys" and "hows" was (and is) refreshing.

You guys are finally getting 90s movies in Canada. Enjoy! The 90s had some batshit action films. Just wait till you guys get to the aughts.

Demolition Man 2 is where they spend the entire movie explaining how the 3 seashells work.

I was reading "Brave New World" by Aldus Huxley and it heavily reminded me of this film. Then I read somewhere that this was originally supposed to be a screen treatment for the book. By the time it was shopped around it was rewritten into Demolition Man. Hence some of the same character names, phrases, etc (even "Huxley" as a character after the author)

The first time I saw Sandra Bullock was at the cinema in this movie! We all fell in love.

One of my favorite movies. It was so underrated in the 90s but speaks volumes today.

I recommend the "Expendables" franchise for more Stallone, and Wesley Snipes is in "Expendables 3" too. I'd be interested in seeing someone react to Stallone in "Cobra" (1986) because, even though I'm a Stallone fan, the movie fell kind of flat for me, but maybe the problem is just me, not the movie. Some Wesley Snipes movies that I like very much that seem to have been overlooked by reaction channels and their Patreon voters are (in order of how much I want to see a reaction to): To Wong Foo, Thanks For Everything! Julie Newmar (1995) Passenger 57 (1992) New Jack City (1991) White Men Can't Jump (1992) The Water Dance (1992) U.S. Marshals (1998) The Art Of War (2000)

For Stallone I reccomend Oscar. For Wesley Snipes only Blade movies comes into my mind, but I would say they are okay movies but not that great. But the first blade movie has an epic opening scene, at least I think that is the best part.

I loved Oscar. A campy parody of a mob movie. Too bad audiences just didn't get the joke. People just couldn't wrap their minds around idea of Stallone being that funny.

Legend has it John Spartan Service weapon still has infinite ammo.... I need to buy me one of those m9 beretta's I'm sure he never ran out of ammo via the entire movie.

Some great moments in this movie: - When Stallone jumps out of the helicopter in 1996 to find Phoenix, he yells "PHOENIX!" as he falls to the ground. - In 1996, when Stallone is frozen, it's done by Assistant Warden Smithers. In 2032, when Phoenix is unfrozen for his parole, it's done by Warden Smithers. - Phoenix tells Spartan that he'd forget his head if it wasn't attached. In the climax Spartan freezes Phoenix and then kicks his head off of his body. - Jack Black is in this movie! He is one of Edgar Friendly's people - he's next to him when Spartan is talking to Friendly when he goes underground. - Rob Schneider chatted with Sandra Bullock during the filming, and Bullock told him about her next movie, and he said that a movie about a bus was a stupid idea. That movie was (obviously) Speed.

Dystopia back then, really close to reality now.

I remember watching this back in the day I had watched Passenger 57 with Snipes then I rented this and found he is amazing in this the fact they went with comedy in this works great

The cool thing about the Jackie Chan line is that he was not a well known actor in America when this movie was made. That line truly aged well like so many “future” movie lines do not.

OMG! George's joke. He calls his manhood Rocky... I'm dead!!!! I can see Mickey coaching him when he has ED. "Get up! Get up! Get up you SOB! Because Mickey loves ya!!!!"
