Sylvester Stallone keeps popping up everywhere at the moment.
I know that they made a film called Dredd with Karl Urban in but this post is on the original Sylvester Stallone film made back in 1995.
Stallone is really good at playing the silent almost 'thug like' guy in a lot of films but what he doesn't ever really seem to pull off is the romancy part at the end of the films. He was almost perfect for the part. As I just said, right at the end when the woman kisses him it kinda doesn't feel right but apart from that he was perfect as Dredd.
The costumes were kinda hilarious but were probably seen as something iconic in 1995. The shoulder pads were way too huge.
I liked the idea behind the story and am quite looking forward to watching Dredd once I have finished this film challenge. It almost has a minority report feel to it but I know that this film was made first so it's probably better to say that Minority Report has a Judge Dredd feel to it.
The best line from this film comes when two women are fighting each other and one says to the other 'bitch' and the other replies 'that's Judge bitch' and then headbutts her. I laughed so much at that point and just wanted to scream 'you go girl'. I do love it when a woman has a great line in a film.
Speaking of the women, they were fantastic. You can tell that I haven't got IMDB open because I am not using their names (like I used to do). I don't think that I have seen anything else with either of the women in, as i didn't recognise them it is highly unlikely that their names are going to stick in my memory. There were times when you thought that the character was typically characterised as being weak but both of them had some great moments.
I think that this is going to be another film that I end up watching several times over. It is easy to watch and very likable. Some times you have days when you need a classic action film and then it will be time to watch Judge Dredd!
