Laurenn laughing at Bullock getting cited for swearing, then having to censor herself to not be demonitized, just tells you how prophetic this movie was in so many ways. It's quite tragic really.
really, so you could swear wherever you want and that has changed now? So you used to be able to swear out loud in church, at school, or at a retail job and now they sensor you? Private areas controlling speech has been the way it has always been, this movie it shows it to be Federal, but not sure how that relates to a private company doing it or in real life at all. What specific things in this film are we headed towards? Keep in mind there is 0 diversity, 0 LGBT stuff, the bad guy is black, and the machines ticket for swears words not slurs (that is a conservative thing), and sex is illegal, and all the music is adds. Looks more like a conservative republican future minus the religion and guns to me. I don't hear people on the right advocating for running down the street naked rubbing jello on your body, they usually hate sex and nudity. All sides hate freedom of speech, FOS is a lie in any society, every group sensors what they find socially unacceptable. So I see nothing in this film that relates to our current sate of things. Please elaborate
😂LMAO I really enjoyed this movie! I went into this movie thinking it was going to be a serious sci-fi action movie but BOY was I surprised! I was laughing so much from Officer Huxley's hilariously incorrect phrasing "He's finally matched his meet, you really licked his ass", I DIED🤣and just the absolute absurdity of this new and "improved" society that John Spartan and Simon Phoenix woke up in. Sylvester Stallone and Wesley Snipes had me rolling quite a few times as well, I really enjoyed it. Great performances all around, really glad I gave this one a watch. It did not disappoint. I hope you enjoy-joy my reaction😁BE WELL
As a big Stallone fan, I also expected it to be a gritty action sci-fi flick and was blind sided by its campiness on first viewing at a theater, but it has rubbed off on me since rewatching it on home media. I think Stallone tried the same formula in Judge Dredd that came out after but it wasn’t as memorable.
My favorite line from this movie has to be, "You're gonna regret this for the rest of your life -- both seconds of it." This movie is a great cautionary tale against society getting too sterilized and protected. People need to be allowed to be people. Sometimes, we screw up. It's our right as humans.
It's really headed that way nowadays. I personally don't care at all when my behavior or language is lude, crude, crass and vulgar. We all have to love how we are day to day. I'm not saying that anything goes and don't live by any rules at all. Just know that there's a time and place for everything. Even when you do deem it appropriate to speak your mind. Your remarks may very well be off queue. That's all part of life we learn as we go.
The other main character in that book is John the Savage. In the movie John Spartan is called a savage by Lenina. And Simon Phoenix says, “It’s a Brave New World!”
Another fun factoid, the director had to ask Snipes to slow down his moves when fighting, as he was too fast at the time for the film to pick up his action properly.
It’s worth noting that Brave New World is a foundational work in the specific sub-genre of SciFi stories that take place in seeming utopias but are really dystopias actually just like in this movie. So it is meant to be a fairly deep and meaningful easter egg and not just some throwaway reference.
@@TheSycaman You mean the violence violence? Oh yeah, that is right, I forgot people could give two shyts if someone for example runs over a parade and kills 6 people, injures 60, and terrorizes hundreds with their car but if someone uses an 'illegal' handgun to shoot someone and even just barely graze even one person, it is all you will hear about for a month and will require 20 more laws on restricting "assault" rifles. Meanwhile, the laws will never actually be enforced that can prevent these tragedies anyways, just a big show to get reelected, it looks like they are doing something though, the illusion of security like the TSA or Body Cams on cops.

I'm so excited that you're watching Demolition Man. This film is so underrated and was ahead of its time and I do not understand why film critics were hating on this gem. Great that you enjoyed this flick, Laurenn.
I really enjoyed it! I was surprised to find out that critics were not a fan when it first came out. I guess this was just one of those movies that people wouldn't appreciate until much later. Very underrated, hilarious. Thanks for watching Jay😄
There was a long stretch where Stallone was hated by critics. No matter what he did, they would hate it. He'd done too many high-profile action movies, and critics hated those. And this movie came out in the middle of that time period. So it never stood a chance with critics.
@@LoveLaurenn I loved your reaction to this movie, and to the first two Rambo films. I hope you watch the other three Rambo movies, and maybe consider watching Rocky 1-6 in that order. That was where Sylvester Stallone got his start, he wrote them all, directed four out of six, and most of them came out right near Rambo movies.
That radio station with the commercial jingles has sort of become a reality. A lot of people like to watch old commercials on UA-cam. 1993 was Stallone's comeback year of sorts, with this coming out a few months after the bigger hit "Cliffhanger." I have found this more entertaining to watch.
Great movie. Westly Snipe is a great actor. You should see his other great movies Passenger 57 and Blade . In the Europe version of the movie it is Pizza Hat instead of Taco Bell.since is Taco Bell is not that common in Europe :). What I think you miss is that Arnold and Stallone were kind of competitors in the 80s and 90s that is why they make fun of the other in their movies :). You should also check out Point Break and Roadhouse.
Yea. Weslye also gave me "joker vibes" when i watched. It'd be interesting to see, what his maniac grin, eyes and laughter be like with more energy put into it.
I adore this movie so much. I remember coming across my mums VHS tapes which had an average of two movies on them so I'd start watching some wholesome movie about a boy and his dog only for the next thing movie to be Running Man with The Running Man 1987 with Arnold Schwarzenegger or this movie Demolition Man. That's how I discovered alot of these classic 1980s to 1990s action movies most of them stuff a 8 year old shouldn't be watching tbh. Robocop, Total Recall, Demolition Man, Starship Troopers, Highlander, Predator, Aliens, Top Gun, Die Hard, Mad Max 2, Escape from New York, Lethal Weapon, Big Trouble in Little China, Beverly Hills Cop, They Live, Conan the Barbarian, pick any of these movies and you'll have a fun time. Wesley Snipes is amazing in this movie if you want to see more of him i highly recommend the Marvel Blade trilogy from the first movie in 1998 to Blade: Trinity released in 2004. These pre date the MCU so like Spider-Man, X-Men, Fantastic Four they're not connected to any greater universe. Blade 1 and 2 are amazing fun and credited for kick started the whole Marvel wave of movies along with X-Men which is also credited for that. Blade: Trinity is pretty mixed i actually have never seen it but like I said I adore the first two movies. Other Stallone Movies: Death Race 2000 (1975) Paradise Alley (1978) F.I.S.T. (1978) NightHawks (1981) Tango and Cash (1989) Oscar (1991) Cliffhanger (1993) Judge Dredd (1995) - Amazing Art Direction but the 2012 Dredd movie with Karl Urban is much more faithful to the characters of the comics even if it lacks the art direction. Cop Land (1997) Creed 1 & 2 (2015 - 2018) The Suicide Squad (2021) - Highly Recommend For Reaction, Sly voices a fun main character in this movie. Guardians of the Galaxy 2 & 3 (2017 to 2023) - Plays a character in Guardians 2 but it seems he'll have a much larger role in the sequel releasing in on the 5th of May.
Theory, since Stallone is a cop and Arnold was mentioned as an actor before becoming President maybe he played Rambo and in the early 90s Stallone, Arnold and Bruce Willis bankrolled the Planet Hollywood restaurant chain, one restaurant even had the replica of Stallone frozen in the block of ice
Blade movies are awesome and Demolition Man is a great way to be introduced to Wesley Snipes' charisma. You know, you like the character even though he's the villain.
Well, UA-cam is making great progress towards Dr. Cocteau's dream, starting with the language code, right? This movie is very prophetic about some things, we can't say f*** anymore 😅 Great video!
Silvester Stallone in Oscar plays a gangster, the movie is set during US prohibition it is a comedy released in the 90s you should see it if you want to see him in a non action role... All this info is made clear in the 1st 5mins so no spoilers given

@@robolavirus8353 i am asking in what specific ways does it predict the future? I just don't see it, swear words were more taboo in the past than now, it is slurs that are becoming that level of taboo now, but the film does not go there at all, so i was asking for an example
Lauren, I am glad to see you react to this movie. I saw this movie in theaters as a teenager and it always been one of my favorites; especially for Snipes as such a delicious villain. Your reaction with its laughter and smiles which, coupled with my mix of nostalgia and sheer enjoyment of the movie, prompted my own. By the way, how the three sea shells work have never been explained.
The movie version in Europe changed Taco Bell to Pizza Hut because Pizza Hut is more well known & there are actual Pizza Huts in Europe, for example here in Sweden (mostly Stockholm), while there is no Taco Bell here in Europe & it's only well known there in the U.S.
Dennis Leary was a pretty raunchy comedian in the 90s. Part of why he was perfect for the role of Friendly. Should react/listen to "I'm an Asshole" by Dennis Leary.
we are almost there... back when this movie came out that society seemed impossible and crazy, now it feels like in five years we could be there, being monitored all the time, getting a fine or a penalty for using certain words... it doesn't seem so incredible now.
One of my all time favorite sci-fi movies! Great commentary (almost prophetic) on the state of our current online Internet culture/social climate. People on one side trying to make a perfect society where there's no violence of any kind, but at the same time can't take a joke. On the other side, trolls who thrive on chaos, and are constantly poking the other side with the proverbial stick. This movie resonates so much more now than in 1993; it's also a commentary on the absurd militarization of our nation's police, and in this perfect society the absurd "demilitarization"
Fun fact: at Planet Hollywood in Orlando, Florida, they had a life-size statue of John Spartan while still frozen (including the stuff he was frozen in) hanging from the ceiling above one of the tables, and it was anatomically correct. After receiving numerous complaints from guests, the restaurant had to put a pair of black underwear to cover up his manhood.
Hey Lauren! This movie was a absolute classic! Wesley and Sylvester were amazing!Loved the reaction. Your laugh and enthusiasm are unprecedented. 🥰👍🏾👍🏾
Demolition Man is one of those movies (like Idiocracy, Soylent Green, 1984, Terminator, etc) that predicts the future, even though it may not be so obvious, at first.

@@mikesmollin2043 I don't like getting political on non political channels, but the movie obviously depicts a progressive, egalitarian society where masculinity and individuality are demonized, deemed as "antiquated/obsolete", and everyone is softly coerced (through speech and censorship) to pretend that everyone is equal and happy, but it's obviously only that, an unsustainable fantasy, the fevered dream of some corporate autocrat(s).. trying in vain to hide the ""ugliness" of reality (that makes life actually worth living) beneath its superficial, banal and almost cartoonish façade (like in the scene of the "fancy" Taco Bell). I think the class dynamics and disguised corporate authoritarianism of the present world -- and pseudo-autocratic tendencies of the future (as many other sci-fis used to present, in the past century) are well summarized also, truly a movie ahead of its time.
Thank you for locating Jack Black! Good catch! I saw this three times in theaters when it came out and a hundred times on dvd and never found Waldo (Jack). I saw his name in the credits but never him.
Loved your reaction to this movie, Laurenn. Definitely an underrated gem. Snipes is very well known for his action films, as well as some of his dramatic roles. Most notably his work in Spike Lee films such as Mo’ Betta Blues starring Denzel, and White Men Can’t Jump with Woody Harrelson. Along with the Blade movies Snipes most famous for New Jack City featuring Ice T and Chris Rock, and Passenger 57! All worthy of a reaction!
Oh yeah!... I've been waiting for this reaction from your channel.😍 I love this movie!... and the funny scary thing about it is that it predicted so many things that's come true. 😨

There’s actually a theory online as to the actual function of the three seashells. Basically, it says that they were a sort of evolution from the traditional sea-themed bathroom decor of the 80s and 90s, and now sort of serve as a psychological thing that helps people relax and actually ‘go’. Which considering the existence of the bidet, it could actually have some scientific validity behind the argument.
Oh man still to this day when i smell something really good or bad i say "what is that emanation?" freaking love this movie : P Also the first two Blades are a definite must, totally fun :D
This is such an underappreciated gem. A great script and a cast full of soon-to-be stars. Everyone involved was obviously having fun making it, and it shows. For another really funny Stallone movie that gets tragically overlooked, I recommend "Oscar". Great cast, loads of fun.
Cool reaction LL 😍 Stallone's "Judge Dredd" (1995) is another fun movie, hoping you'll react to that one too. Until the next time, Be Well LoveLaurenn.
How can you justify destroying a $7 million dollar mini mall to rescue a girl whose ransom was only $25,000 dollars? "Fuck you lady!" To this day, one of if not the funniest thing I've ever seen in tv or film. Give that girl an Oscar.
Yes! Passenger 57 is such an underrated action classic! "Always bet on black", "Charles Rayne, is not insane", "How do you want your steak? Bloody!", ...
One of the best cyberpunky movies i know! and really awesome how you reacted and to see you really liked it too!! Wesley Snipers was super great in this and Sly acted so well too! 😸 Another really fun cyber/futuristic movie, i think you need to see is "the Fifth Element"!! "Equilibrium" with Christian Bale is really good too tho, but that's more serious. But i was wondering (you prob know the series already), you prob like "what we do in the shadows" series alot, if you like vampires that is, which i think you might. Having said that, you might also like "Dracula Untold" and "Dark Shadows"!! (both are kinda love stories...)
This movie doesn't take place in a cyberpunk future world. It takes place in a dark utopian future world, similar to the science-fiction story Brave New World and the sci-fi story Fahrenheit 451. A cyberpunk future world would be something similar to the movies Blade Runner and Blade Runner 2049, and the story Neuromancer.
@@bekindandrewind1422 Oh, Carlin's material was great, but he didn't have Leary's anger. I wouldn't really call his "rants". More like "machine-gunning truths".
My favorite part of this movie is that you can always hear the censor machines beeping in the background if someone swears in or near a building, even if they don't call attention to it directly. In some scenes it's very faint, but it's there. However, as someone with Tourette's Syndrome, I wonder if there is some kind of exception for people like me with Coprolalia (verbal tics that people stereotype Tourette's sufferers with; they're actually pretty rare) or if I would just slowly go bankrupt from constant fines and/or be arrested for repeated violations.
I mean, it's a fascist society. The state controls all forms of healthcare, including the reproductive process. Any sort of physical or mental disability would not be tolerated. They would either detect the anomaly during the fetus' development and cure it, or just terminate and start over. If you develop an illness after being born, well...there's euthanasia for that. Canada is already hard at work on that last bit.
Yeah this is a great movie, I first saw it when it came in '93. I was living with my aunt and uncle at the time just west of Detroit. It's one of my favorite Dystopia/Cyberpunk movies and in all times I've seen this movie I never noticed Jack Black back there cool for pointing it out.
Nice reaction Lauren :) If you love action films so much I would recommend titles such as Universal Soldier, Raw Deal, Eraser, 6th day, End of Days, James Bond series and many more for you to check out
I was 100% going to suggest this movie after watching the Speed one and totally forgot. I absolutely love your reactions and honest takes on each one. Keep up the amazing work!
Great reaction to a very fun movie. I've always said this was a Batman / Joker movie set in an alternate universe. In the first fight Snipes says "Is it hot in here, or is it just me?" and "I'd lose my head if it wasn't attached". The first line was mirrored by Stallone in their last fight, "Is it cold in here, or is it just me?" , and then Snipes had his head removed at the end of the fight
The world creation is impressive, since they change everything by just focusing on a few details. Whoever wrote this could make a great time travel series where you have a timeline with distinct changes between periods. The movie itself isn't some grand masterpiece, but the way it makes the audience get the time right away was well done.
Wesley Snipes stole this movie. He took this movie to a whole new level with his character.
Agree 💯
Yes definitely, his best performance to date in my opinion. Simon phoenix, one of the all time great action movie villans
6:44
The irony as she mocks the character being cited for saying "Asshole" while having to censor the word to get past UA-cam's draconian policies lol
"I swear, I'd lose my head if it wasn't attached."
This children, is what we in the industry call "foreshadowing".
That would require them to think outside of there own mind. You ask to much.
Laurenn laughing at Bullock getting cited for swearing, then having to censor herself to not be demonitized, just tells you how prophetic this movie was in so many ways. It's quite tragic really.
Take it up with the corpos

And Simon Phoenix says, “It’s a Brave New World!”

1993 was Stallone's comeback year of sorts, with this coming out a few months after the bigger hit "Cliffhanger." I have found this more entertaining to watch.
Holy shit your right
Scene with rat burger is my most favourite. 😀
Wesley Snipes might’ve made a great alternate dimension Joker
I think that there comes a time in everyone's life, when you just want to say, "you can take this job and shovel it!"
This movie is childhood nostalgia and memories for me your reaction to this puts a smile on my face.
Great movie. Westly Snipe is a great actor. You should see his other great movies Passenger 57 and Blade . In the Europe version of the movie it is Pizza Hat instead of Taco Bell.since is Taco Bell is not that common in Europe :). What I think you miss is that Arnold and Stallone were kind of competitors in the 80s and 90s that is why they make fun of the other in their movies :). You should also check out Point Break and Roadhouse.
I remember watching it in the UK in the early/mid 90s. it was always Taco Bell.
Yea. Weslye also gave me "joker vibes" when i watched. It'd be interesting to see, what his maniac grin, eyes and laughter be like with more energy put into it.
I adore this movie so much. I remember coming across my mums VHS tapes which had an average of two movies on them so I'd start watching some wholesome movie about a boy and his dog only for the next thing movie to be Running Man with The Running Man 1987 with Arnold Schwarzenegger or this movie Demolition Man. That's how I discovered alot of these classic 1980s to 1990s action movies most of them stuff a 8 year old shouldn't be watching tbh.
Robocop, Total Recall, Demolition Man, Starship Troopers, Highlander, Predator, Aliens, Top Gun, Die Hard, Mad Max 2, Escape from New York, Lethal Weapon, Big Trouble in Little China, Beverly Hills Cop, They Live, Conan the Barbarian, pick any of these movies and you'll have a fun time.
Wesley Snipes is amazing in this movie if you want to see more of him i highly recommend the Marvel Blade trilogy from the first movie in 1998 to Blade: Trinity released in 2004. These pre date the MCU so like Spider-Man, X-Men, Fantastic Four they're not connected to any greater universe. Blade 1 and 2 are amazing fun and credited for kick started the whole Marvel wave of movies along with X-Men which is also credited for that. Blade: Trinity is pretty mixed i actually have never seen it but like I said I adore the first two movies.
Other Stallone Movies:
Death Race 2000 (1975)
Paradise Alley (1978)
F.I.S.T. (1978)
NightHawks (1981)
Tango and Cash (1989)
Oscar (1991)
Cliffhanger (1993)
Judge Dredd (1995) - Amazing Art Direction but the 2012 Dredd movie with Karl Urban is much more faithful to the characters of the comics even if it lacks the art direction.
Cop Land (1997)
Creed 1 & 2 (2015 - 2018)
The Suicide Squad (2021) - Highly Recommend For Reaction, Sly voices a fun main character in this movie.
Guardians of the Galaxy 2 & 3 (2017 to 2023) - Plays a character in Guardians 2 but it seems he'll have a much larger role in the sequel releasing in on the 5th of May.
Theory, since Stallone is a cop and Arnold was mentioned as an actor before becoming President maybe he played Rambo and in the early 90s Stallone, Arnold and Bruce Willis bankrolled the Planet Hollywood restaurant chain, one restaurant even had the replica of Stallone frozen in the block of ice
It always perplexed me at how fast he gets over the news that his wife is dead and okay let's Fuck Sandra Bullock.
To this date I still don't know how the 3 shells would be used...and it's a question that will haunt the rest of my existence🤔😬
There are diagrams lol
I mean, you could look it up...but...I don't think you need that information.
They're buttons.. First one is wash, then flush, then dry.. A germaphobe culture would be appalled at the idea of using the shells to grab and scrape.
Such a great movie. Underrated for sure. Wesley Snipes is fantastic in this, and contrast it to his character in Blade.
Woo-hoo! This is one of my top movies. Another you might enjoy, but with Arnold Schwarzenegger, it’s True Lies. Great movie.
Blade movies are awesome and Demolition Man is a great way to be introduced to Wesley Snipes' charisma. You know, you like the character even though he's the villain.
One thing we have to agree: the frozen mannequin at the end was a nice practical effect.
I watched your last live vid and although I don't smile much... watching you keep singing Jessie's girl really had me grinning...lol so beautiful...😍💀
Thank you so much for the donation Bones! lol I'm glad to read that you enjoyed the live stream and my singing😅thanks for tuning into that💖
Well, UA-cam is making great progress towards Dr. Cocteau's dream, starting with the language code, right? This movie is very prophetic about some things, we can't say f*** anymore 😅 Great video!
Silvester Stallone in Oscar plays a gangster, the movie is set during US prohibition it is a comedy released in the 90s you should see it if you want to see him in a non action role... All this info is made clear in the 1st 5mins so no spoilers given
"So sorry! Didn't see you there!" Hands down my favourite line in the film 😂😂😂
A good old action movie that the 80's was packed full of.
This movie is from 1993
@@xalau5270 I stand corrected.
They predicted the world to be more like this already in the early 90s. Who would have known haha.
really, what specific things in this film are we headed towards? Keep in mind there is 0 diversity, 0 LGBT stuff, the bad guy is black, and the machines ticket for swears words not slurs, and sex is illegal, and all the music is adds. Looks more like a conservative republican future minus the religion and guns to me. I don't hear people on the right advocating for running down the street naked rubbing jello on your body, they usually hate sex and nudity. All sides hate freedom of speech, FOS is a lie in any society, every group sensors what they find socially unacceptable. So I see nothing in this film that relates to our current sate of things. Please elaborate
@Mike Smollin, your reading too much into it, just know it predicts the Future
@@robolavirus8353 i am asking in what specific ways does it predict the future? I just don't see it, swear words were more taboo in the past than now, it is slurs that are becoming that level of taboo now, but the film does not go there at all, so i was asking for an example
Lauren, I am glad to see you react to this movie. I saw this movie in theaters as a teenager and it always been one of my favorites; especially for Snipes as such a delicious villain.
Your reaction with its laughter and smiles which, coupled with my mix of nostalgia and sheer enjoyment of the movie, prompted my own.
By the way, how the three sea shells work have never been explained.
To this day this is my absolute favorite Stallone movie, but I think its a shame Simon dies in the end.
The movie version in Europe changed Taco Bell to Pizza Hut because Pizza Hut is more well known & there are actual Pizza Huts in Europe, for example here in Sweden (mostly Stockholm), while there is no Taco Bell here in Europe & it's only well known there in the U.S.
the 3 sea shells remains a mystery all these years later
They're buttons.. First one is wash, then flush, then dry.. A germaphobe culture would be appalled at the idea of using the shells to grab and scrape.
Dennis Leary's speech about, how shall we say, "personal freedoms", is the one the greatest monologues in cinema, IMO.
Dennis Leary was a pretty raunchy comedian in the 90s. Part of why he was perfect for the role of Friendly. Should react/listen to "I'm an Asshole" by Dennis Leary.
we are almost there... back when this movie came out that society seemed impossible and crazy, now it feels like in five years we could be there, being monitored all the time, getting a fine or a penalty for using certain words... it doesn't seem so incredible now.
One of my all time favorite sci-fi movies! Great commentary (almost prophetic) on the state of our current online Internet culture/social climate. People on one side trying to make a perfect society where there's no violence of any kind, but at the same time can't take a joke. On the other side, trolls who thrive on chaos, and are constantly poking the other side with the proverbial stick. This movie resonates so much more now than in 1993; it's also a commentary on the absurd militarization of our nation's police, and in this perfect society the absurd "demilitarization"
I'm in love with the way you express your emotions:) And the movie is concentrated cheese😁
This came out when I was a kid and ever since I have had the biggest crush on Sandra Bullock
Possibly one of the greatest movies ever made.
One of the few you get Leary in it busting off a cheeseburger rant and Snipes being full-on Snipes.
I love Demolition Man. It's one of those movies I can watch over and over again. Definitely a cult classic.
“Did she just get cited for saying *censorship noise*?”- the future is here
Fun fact: at Planet Hollywood in Orlando, Florida, they had a life-size statue of John Spartan while still frozen (including the stuff he was frozen in) hanging from the ceiling above one of the tables, and it was anatomically correct. After receiving numerous complaints from guests, the restaurant had to put a pair of black underwear to cover up his manhood.
Hey Lauren! This movie was a absolute classic! Wesley and Sylvester were amazing!Loved the reaction. Your laugh and enthusiasm are unprecedented. 🥰👍🏾👍🏾
Demolition Man is one of those movies (like Idiocracy, Soylent Green, 1984, Terminator, etc) that predicts the future, even though it may not be so obvious, at first.

@@mikesmollin2043 I don't like getting political on non political channels, but the movie obviously depicts a progressive, egalitarian society where masculinity and individuality are demonized, deemed as "antiquated/obsolete", and everyone is softly coerced (through speech and censorship) to pretend that everyone is equal and happy, but it's obviously only that, an unsustainable fantasy, the fevered dream of some corporate autocrat(s).. trying in vain to hide the ""ugliness" of reality (that makes life actually worth living) beneath its superficial, banal and almost cartoonish façade (like in the scene of the "fancy" Taco Bell).
I think the class dynamics and disguised corporate authoritarianism of the present world -- and pseudo-autocratic tendencies of the future (as many other sci-fis used to present, in the past century) are well summarized also, truly a movie ahead of its time.
Thank you for locating Jack Black! Good catch! I saw this three times in theaters when it came out and a hundred times on dvd and never found Waldo (Jack). I saw his name in the credits but never him.
Here is a little fact,the fancy gun Phoenix uses is a HK G11 a German assault rifle,I guess they wanted something that had a future look to it
"Set yo ass on FIRE." 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣That line always cracks me up.
Loved your reaction to this movie, Laurenn. Definitely an underrated gem.
Snipes is very well known for his action films, as well as some of his dramatic roles. Most notably his work in Spike Lee films such as Mo’ Betta Blues starring Denzel, and White Men Can’t Jump with Woody Harrelson.
Along with the Blade movies Snipes most famous for New Jack City featuring Ice T and Chris Rock, and Passenger 57!
All worthy of a reaction!
New Jack City is a great crime film. Sadly underrated.
A very good Film you chose 👍 if you haven't seen it yet, I can recommend "Cliffhanger". The Film is also starring Sylvester Stallone
Oh yeah!... I've been waiting for this reaction from your channel.😍
I love this movie!... and the funny scary thing about it is that it predicted so many things that's come true. 😨
Demolition Man predicted our future.

@@mikesmollin2043 hahaha only the way you talk i can say you are white, american and liberal, you just prove your ignorance by infering i am conservative or american. And just prove your inocence again, that you only looked at "diversity", just prove again you are blind "you will own nothing and will be happy" remember? Politciians around the world trying to forbiden meat, eat insects. Censorship, control, microship implants. Also, your individual carbon foot print controller, Chimna wih social credit score. You probrably never heard of Foro de SP in South America right? HAHAHAHA. You just point out some "diversity inclusity" buzzwords like a good NPC, just trying to attack me as a "right wing nuts". I can assure you my friend, you will see this future, just look around you. You are just naive, becqause you think you are in the "good" side of history, As a south american i can say, you are not.
@@mikesmollin2043 You are just another white npc in first world that think being liberal make you the hero and just separate people betwen "republicans and democrats". Again just pove your complete ignorance what happening around the world. I see you in chinese coal mines my friend hahahaa
@@mikesmollin2043 Copy and paste spam.
@@zenarcher9633 I am not seeing any examples, just jokes, no one can give me a single one
There’s actually a theory online as to the actual function of the three seashells. Basically, it says that they were a sort of evolution from the traditional sea-themed bathroom decor of the 80s and 90s, and now sort of serve as a psychological thing that helps people relax and actually ‘go’. Which considering the existence of the bidet, it could actually have some scientific validity behind the argument.
society in Canada is starting to look like this movie.
Oh man still to this day when i smell something really good or bad i say "what is that emanation?" freaking love this movie : P Also the first two Blades are a definite must, totally fun :D
I wish more reactors would use apropriate footage from the film and reactions during the review section, nicely done!
This Movie is telling us how our future could end up
Pick your future: Demolition Man or Idiocracy?
@@jimhsfbay or Equilibrium? Lol
@@guymon82ify I don’t think there will be enough cows left in the future to support all those leather outfits!
@@jimhsfbay lol true
I still don't know how to use the three sea shells.
This is such an underappreciated gem. A great script and a cast full of soon-to-be stars. Everyone involved was obviously having fun making it, and it shows.
For another really funny Stallone movie that gets tragically overlooked, I recommend "Oscar". Great cast, loads of fun.
Hey, Laurenn
Abother Wesley Snipes movie you should consider checking out is "Passenger 57"
Cool reaction LL 😍 Stallone's "Judge Dredd" (1995) is another fun movie, hoping you'll react to that one too.
Until the next time, Be Well LoveLaurenn.
How can you justify destroying a $7 million dollar mini mall to rescue a girl whose ransom was only $25,000 dollars? "Fuck you lady!" To this day, one of if not the funniest thing I've ever seen in tv or film. Give that girl an Oscar.
For Wesley Snipes, think about doing Passenger 57. Haven't seen other reactors do it and is an underrated movie
Passenger 57, Money Train and The Drop Zone are forgotten Wesley Snipes action films. Then he is also amazing in comedy: White men can´t Jump
Yes! Passenger 57 is such an underrated action classic! "Always bet on black", "Charles Rayne, is not insane", "How do you want your steak? Bloody!", ...
Hey what’s that purple stuff you drink it looks interesting
One of the best cyberpunky movies i know! and really awesome how you reacted and to see you really liked it too!! Wesley Snipers was super great in this and Sly acted so well too! 😸 Another really fun cyber/futuristic movie, i think you need to see is "the Fifth Element"!! "Equilibrium" with Christian Bale is really good too tho, but that's more serious.
But i was wondering (you prob know the series already), you prob like "what we do in the shadows" series alot, if you like vampires that is, which i think you might. Having said that, you might also like "Dracula Untold" and "Dark Shadows"!! (both are kinda love stories...)
This movie doesn't take place in a cyberpunk future world. It takes place in a dark utopian future world, similar to the science-fiction story Brave New World and the sci-fi story Fahrenheit 451. A cyberpunk future world would be something similar to the movies Blade Runner and Blade Runner 2049, and the story Neuromancer.
NOBODY rants like Denis Leary!
George Carlin did... I miss uncle George.
@@bekindandrewind1422 Oh, Carlin's material was great, but he didn't have Leary's anger. I wouldn't really call his "rants". More like "machine-gunning truths".
My favorite part of this movie is that you can always hear the censor machines beeping in the background if someone swears in or near a building, even if they don't call attention to it directly. In some scenes it's very faint, but it's there. However, as someone with Tourette's Syndrome, I wonder if there is some kind of exception for people like me with Coprolalia (verbal tics that people stereotype Tourette's sufferers with; they're actually pretty rare) or if I would just slowly go bankrupt from constant fines and/or be arrested for repeated violations.
I mean, it's a fascist society. The state controls all forms of healthcare, including the reproductive process. Any sort of physical or mental disability would not be tolerated. They would either detect the anomaly during the fetus' development and cure it, or just terminate and start over. If you develop an illness after being born, well...there's euthanasia for that.
Canada is already hard at work on that last bit.
Yeah this is a great movie, I first saw it when it came in '93. I was living with my aunt and uncle at the time just west of Detroit. It's one of my favorite Dystopia/Cyberpunk movies and in all times I've seen this movie I never noticed Jack Black back there cool for pointing it out.
Love Lauren's Laugh, it really adds to the fun of her reaction. Very fun reaction Lady LL.
We ALL know the Blade trilogy should be next!! Peak Wesley Snipes!
“He doesn’t know how to use the three sea shells?!” Hahaha I love you. I quote that so much at work, my boss hates it.
“Away, Blow this Guy Away!” Your reaction to that made my day
You should ABSOLUTELY check out the six original Rocky movies and the first two Creed films. Sylvester Stallone's start, his baby, you'd love them
Masterpiece ever. Great
In one of those this movie can't be that old moments, we are a hell of a lot closer to 2032 than 1993. Damn I'm getting old. Be well. 🙂
One of my all time favourites. That's why my bathroom has a hidden TP holder and three seashells on a shelf.
Oh, I forgot, they predicted Spotify
Love the call back to the beginning when he says "is it cold in here" and "id lose my head if it wasnt attached"
Nice reaction Lauren :) If you love action films so much I would recommend titles such as Universal Soldier, Raw Deal, Eraser, 6th day, End of Days, James Bond series and many more for you to check out
Phenomenal comment as always. Universal soldier is on that level.
I LOVE your neck tattoo and you actually do really good reactions. Probably my 3rd video of you that I have watched and im now fully invested!
A very original villain death, and Simon Phoenix's frozen head shattering into tiny meat pieces still looks good for a 30yr old special effect.
I've seen this movie so many times. I still like watching it.
That's why Sylvester Stallone is one of my favorite actors
His charisma got me every time 😎
I was 100% going to suggest this movie after watching the Speed one and totally forgot. I absolutely love your reactions and honest takes on each one. Keep up the amazing work!
Great reaction to a very fun movie. I've always said this was a Batman / Joker movie set in an alternate universe. In the first fight Snipes says "Is it hot in here, or is it just me?" and "I'd lose my head if it wasn't attached". The first line was mirrored by Stallone in their last fight, "Is it cold in here, or is it just me?" , and then Snipes had his head removed at the end of the fight
I loved how every time he swore anywhere above ground where there was a "citation dispenser" nearby it always gave him a ticket. LOL
Does anyone know how to use 3 sea shells?😄
The world creation is impressive, since they change everything by just focusing on a few details.
Whoever wrote this could make a great time travel series where you have a timeline with distinct changes between periods. The movie itself isn't some grand masterpiece, but the way it makes the audience get the time right away was well done.
Love your reactions Lauren! You absolutely have to check out the Blade trilogy
"This is a rat burger?"
*_*Vigorous head nodding*_*
"Not bad." 😂
