Trivia:
During TV replays, the computer announcing the reanimation of Jeffrey Dahmer and Simon Phoenix's line "I love that guy!" is deleted. Dahmer was killed in "normal" prison after release of the movie so the line became anachronistic. more

Weird, It's A Satirical Action Movie, 30 December 2006
7/10
Author: mjw2305 from England

Sgt. John Spartan (Stallone) is a tough cop for a tough age and Simon Pheonix (Snipes) is a nasty and violent criminal. When Stallone finally catches his man, he is found guilty of killing a group of innocent civilians at the same time; and they are both given sentences in the new cryo-prison. When Simon Pheonix escapes into a new world in the year 2032, the police have no way of dealing with such a vicious arch-criminal so they re-animate John Sparton, and so it begins.

I simply love the way the future is portrayed in this film, it is a wonderfully satirical crime free environment where the humans have become ultra-placid geeks under the new regime. Sandra Bullock and Nigel Hawthorne are the two main police-persons that we see and they are brilliantly funny in their performances.

Demolition man is as funny as it is action packed and although it's pretty shallow, it is still great fun to watch.

7/10
