For a movie made in 1993, this movie actually has a lot of our technology accurately predicted. Face Time chat, video conferencing, electric cars, self-driving cars, huge corporate conglomerations (Taco Bell), and several more that I won't mention. Also, the chief of police was the warden in Shawshank Redemption.
@@2684dennis yes. Taco Bell in the movie was the huge corporate conglomerate, much like we have huge corporate conglomerates now (Disney, for example, which controls a lot of what is produced).

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.
And most of the major plot points: cryo prisons, only nonlethal weapons, bringing back figures from the past, were literally copied from the knight rider 2000 movie.
My favorite part of this movie is the fact that (nearly) every time someone swears, the little buzzer and fine goes off. Even when it's not addressed, it cracks me up every time.
The seashells are purposefully unexplained as a joke. One of the writers asked his girlfriend to tell him the first thing she saw in her bathroom and she said a bag of decorative seashells and that's how it ended up in the movie. Stallone tried to explain it once, but the explanation was gross and debunked years later.
But Sandra Bullock explained it clearly and concisely years later, she didn't understand what the fuss was about. The three seashells were decorative controls for the bidet integrated in the toilet. water pressure, position and on/off.
For completion's sake: 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'
I always thought it was obvious that it being unexplained was a large part of the joke, from first seeing it a few years after it came out. It's funny how it's become such a big thing, but weird how people always want an explanation.

Fun facts! Sandra Bullock's character is named Lenina Huxley. The society depicted in Demolition Man is heavily influenced by the dystopian world described by British author Aldous Huxley in the novel entitled Brave New World, after a quote from Shakespeare. One of Huxley's main characters is also named Lenina.
We saw this in theaters, and to this day the magic of the future still eludes the finest minds of every continent: the three shells........ And Denis Leary is brilliant in this: he plays himself, basically, just under different circumstances. His "rants" are what made him famous, and his ability to think on his feet so quickly is a rare commodity.
Couldn't agree more! That movie was so ahead of it's time, and it, like The Other Guys, operates in a weird genre where it's not a parody, but it kind of is...but not really. But also yes.
I remember reading stories about how the actual frozen Stallone prop was displayed at a Planet Hollywood restaurant and how uncomfortable people felt eating near it.
It was hanging from the ceiling at the Planet Hollywood at the Mall of America in Minnesota back in the early 2000's. I thought it was awesome. I felt more uncomfortable that the table we were seated at had a red convertible hung from the ceiling above it. I kept getting paranoid that the chains would break and the car would fall and crush us. Lol.
I worked at the original Planet Hollywood NYC from 1995-1997 and I can confirm that it was there hanging near the middle of the restaurant. I don't remember anyone complaining, but it was very surreal to see a nearly naked Stallone above you while you eat... I do remember the Predator figure being scary to some people. That thing was huge. The Terminator display was the one that a lot of people wanted to sit near and take photos with.
It actually made some sense in 1993, when Taco Bell was aggressively expanding & when the menu was still so cheap you could walk in there with $5 and leave with a full meal & change. Also the first big chain to do free refills on sodas when you dined in.
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.
In lot of European countries it was Pizza hut that won the war , when there were no taco bells , they just dubbed taco bell over to pizza hut and super imposed pizza hut logo . Only problem is the timeline , it should have taken way longer in future , like there was lot of people that were children or teen still alive as a 40 to 50 year olds .
@@pete_lind Yeah, but the problems with lack of sufficient time is common in movies. The entire Immortan Joe society in Fury Road simply could not come to exist in the short span of time between the original Mad Max and Fury Road.
@@pete_lind It isn't as much of a problem when you consider the scale of the disaster that led to this new society forming. Between the people who died in the quake or soon after due to starvation or lack of medical care and the fact that many of the survivors would have left and had no desire to ever return after the new society was built.
There are so many different flavors you can focus on even if a whole category like "spicy" gets banned, I just find it incredibly unbelievable if the reason is that you need to ban anything that will even slightly damage your health, but the one fast food franchise with the reputation for damaging your colon is the one left at the end.
@@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.
How about the when Somon Pheonix takes out the cops and the office crew was like "We're police officers, we're not trained to handle this kind of violence". That always gets me.
9:21 The build-up to my favourite F-bomb of all time. Actually, it's not just an F-bomb; it's pretty much the definition of the TV-tropes "Precision F-Strike". It's just so damn perfect! 😆
They were both excellent at the time too though, I loved Demolition Man as soon as I saw it(the first time it was on tv I think, probably a couple of years after it came out) I think it didn't get as much attention, just due to bad timing in relation to another big movie(s)
One of the fun things about this movie: When they released it overseas, they turned Taco Bell into Pizza Hut. They even changed the logos to be Pizza Hut.
Not everywhere, I live in NZ and it was always Taco Bell here, even though we didn't have Taco Bell (& did have Pizza Hut) I didn't even know about this change until seeing it online comparitively recently.
I love how far off your thoughts on what the plot or characters are on a lot of these movies. Seriously, you two are just a delight to watch and listen to. Keep up the good work.
Ever since the first time I've seen this movie I've imagined The Franchise Wars as being actual wars with employees of different franchises fighting each other.
It's probably just a more devastating version of the Cola Wars, just very crushing economic and legal warfare. Taco Bell/Pizza Hut were just more ruthless than Coke and Pepsi were, since no other brands survived.
This movie has one of the best scripts for dialogue-driven humor and the action is top-notch, as well. This was my favorite movie as a child and really holds up in both the action and sci-fi genres after nearly 30 years.
One of the most underrated films of all time, and Wesley Snipes as Simon Phoenix is one of the best villains of all time. Sidenote: I had to explain the non-contact high fives to my younger work colleagues during the pandemic when ‘social distancing’ was a thing.
If you're looking for another Wesley Snipes movie, check out White Men Can't Jump or Money Train. Wesley and Woody Harrellson make for a great pairing.
@@Madbandit77 I forgot about that one. Shame Woody couldnt be in "The Fan" or "Major League". Then they could have done a basketball, football AND baseball movie together..
I liked the inclusion of Nigel Hawthorn as Cocteau. He was Sir Humphrey Appleby in the BBC series "Yes, Minister" and "Yes, Prime Minister". Amazing actor.
I think the brilliance of this movie is in the small details, like how the bad word alarm just keeps going off in the background or how subtly Bob just betrays his current superior.
Great reaction!! Here are some great Wesley Snipes movies that you will enjoy: Passenger 57 - 1992, Drop Zone - 1994, The Fan - 1996, Murder At 1600 - 1997, The Art Of War - 2000, Blade Trilogy (1998, 2002 & 2004).
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.
When I saw it in the cinema when it came out, the future in the film was an absurdity that was very funny because of it. I didn't even think that later on we would get so close to that absurdity.
Except that most of the things that they say are banned have absolutely nothing to do with political correctness, which means language or practices that offend the political sensibilities of others in terms of sex, race or religion. Most of the things that are banned in the movie are things that have been proven harmful to the person doing them e.g. that eating meat or smoking is proven to increase the risk of cancer. Banning them outright might well be seen as outrageous but doing so would be about public health rather than political correctness.
@@SadPeterPan1977 No it's pretty clear. Offensive speech is directly analogous to hate speech, and the food bans are nearly identical to policies instituted in places like New York and even federal school lunch guidelines. It's not hiding the fact that it's social commentary on top down authoritarian over reach.
Yeah, Tango & Cash and Demolition Man are easily the funniest Stallone movies. Straight action or thrillers, Cliffhanger, Cobra, Rambo: First Blood Part II, which they'll probably get around to watching eventually, likewise Rocky III. As for Wesley Snipes, White Men Can't Jump is his best comedy, and action thrillers Rising Sun and New Jack City.
@@soulextracter It was also just what was current in the 90s being pushed to an extreme, like much(probably the vast majority of) satire. It's funny how people always comment on movies like Demolition Man & Idiocracy, as though they somehow predicted the future with no relevance to the time they were made.
@@mojoshivers i really need to watch it again. Didn't he play the trinity killer in Dexter too? Man THAT was a good character..... Best in Dexter series anyways
@@CyberBeep_kenshi Trinity was in fact played by John Lithgow, yes. And he was mesmerizing in the role. That was the best villain and season the series ever had.
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.
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.
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.
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.
I'm glad you enjoyed this so much, it is one of my favorites and didn't get enough attention when it came out. The "dirty mouthy guy" is the comedian Denis Leary btw
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)
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 love that you all went into this movie trying to guess what it was going to be about; I know you do it with a bunch of movies, but this one is particularly choice.
Seeing you guys in one shot was nagging on my mind the whole reaction, like something is off... took me to the end of movie to realize what it was xD Thanks for the reaction, glad you loved this fun movie. Spartan vs Phoenix is one of the best matchups in these sort of movies. Especially Wesley Snipes' role as Phoenix was amazing
The three seashells are controls for a bidet. One shell is the warm water stream control. One shell is the cool water stream control. One shell is the blow dryer control.
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".
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.
Wesley Snipes most diabolical / ruthless villain role was Nino in New Jack City. One of his good comedy roles was in White Men Can't Jump (but I think Rosie Perez was the best part of that movie).
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.
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
*How the 3 seashells worked:* There was a interview with Sylvester Stallone like 15ish years ago where he said "The writer told me how they worked. You hold two seashells like chopsticks and pull. Than you gently scrape what’s left with the third.
Edgar Friendly's speech about wanting to eat meat, high cholesterol, and reading dirty magazines and all that, is a speech that touches every guy directly into the soul.
If you loved that speech, do yourself a favor and check out Denis Leary's "No Cure For Cancer" stand-up show from the same era. It's basically exactly that, but stretched out to about 60 minutes.
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)
I was in my early teens when this movie was released, and trust me: Ever since 1993 the entire world wonders how thos seashells work. If someone figured it out, they never bothered to share their knowledge.
I think she was right and the seashells were buttons that controlled a bidet, air dryer and perfume sprayer to replace toilet paper with a more efficient system
I love your reactions and thoughts on movies. You are both a joy to watch. Simone happened to say the hunger games isn’t Japanese inspired. May I suggest you watch a Japanese film called battle royal as it is well worth the watch and shares some similarities. Thanks for all that you do
This, and the Last Action Hero, are vastly underrated meta action comedies. If you want to see Stallone's best acting, try Cop Land. It's nuanced in a way you wouldn't ever expect.
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.
@@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.
Fun Fact - a lot of the outside scenes were filmed at my job in Irvine, CA. One day we went to see the set and a guy was walking towards us in the distance. It was Sylvester Stallone. Sylvester had humongous arms and was really short. He was very nice and signed autographs.
I'm so glad you guys finally got to this movie; it was always one of my favorites! I believe this was Sandra Bullock's breakout role. Wesley Snipes was just starting out. Rob Schneider was branching out as a sidekick for Adam Sandler, now starting to do roles in Sly Stallone films (he was also in "Judge Dredd" with Stallone). Dennis Leary was just starting to break from his standup to doing film and later TV (Leary created and starred in the long-running firefighter drama series "Rescue Me" and did voice work as the sabertooth in the Ice Age animated franchise). Do you recognize Glenn Shadix playing the Assistant? He was in "Beetlejuice", but passed away in 2010. Do you recognize Nigel Hawthorne? I mostly remember him from BBC's "Yes, Minister" and "Yes, Prime Minister". Sandra Bullock's fellow officer was played by Benjamin Bratt; they also starred together in 2000's "Miss Congeniality". Yeah, this is a great movie; so funny and so clever... And you guys were great in reaction to it. So glad you loved the criminals more than the authorities. Yeah, I would LOVE to see more of the 'Franchise Wars'. So, yeah...when will you guys do reactions to "Sleepless in Seattle", "Joe vs the Volcano", "Philadelphia",...and "Idiocracy"?
Wesley Snipes films: TLDR: Must watch Snipes movies are New Jack City, Blade 1, & White Men Can't Jump. Action films: Blade 1 (1st Marvel Movie before the MCU. Being rebooted with Mahershala Ali playing the role of Blade), Blade 2, Blade Trinity. Passenger 57. Crime Drama: New Jack City, Money Train (starring Jennifer Lopez) Comedy/drama: White Men Can't Jump.
Love this movie so much. New Jack City. Wesley Snipes, Ice-T debut as an actor, Judd Nelson, and a very young Chris Rock. Blade - a trilogy of Marvel films (pre-MCU) with Snipes as Blade. White Men Can't Jump with Wesley and Woody Harrelson. Wildcats: A Goldie Hawn movie. Wesley and Woody's film debuts.
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.
Wesley Snipes was a darn blast in this movie. Just sheer anarchy; and as I always say, he's basically playing The Joker, and crushing it.

I don't remember anyone complaining, but it was very surreal to see a nearly naked Stallone above you while you eat... I do remember the Predator figure being scary to some people. That thing was huge. The Terminator display was the one that a lot of people wanted to sit near and take photos with.
Honest Trailers Epic Voice Guy claims to have bought the naked Stallone figurine.
Great reaction. I recommend True Lies (1994). Its a great Arnold movie.
I actually believe they're doing it in a few days. 😂
The fact that Taco Bell would win the Franchise Wars is the most unbelievable part of this movie.
my money is on Wendy's
The fact that Taco Bell wins the Franchise Wars makes this movie the best future
It actually made some sense in 1993, when Taco Bell was aggressively expanding & when the menu was still so cheap you could walk in there with $5 and leave with a full meal & change. Also the first big chain to do free refills on sodas when you dined in.
In the UK, they changed out Taco Bell for Pizza Hut since we didn't have Taco Bell back then
RN Del Taco is winning the franchise wars. No 1 fast food.
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.
In lot of European countries it was Pizza hut that won the war , when there were no taco bells , they just dubbed taco bell over to pizza hut and super imposed pizza hut logo .
Only problem is the timeline , it should have taken way longer in future , like there was lot of people that were children or teen still alive as a 40 to 50 year olds .
@@pete_lind Yeah, but the problems with lack of sufficient time is common in movies. The entire Immortan Joe society in Fury Road simply could not come to exist in the short span of time between the original Mad Max and Fury Road.
@@pete_lind It isn't as much of a problem when you consider the scale of the disaster that led to this new society forming. Between the people who died in the quake or soon after due to starvation or lack of medical care and the fact that many of the survivors would have left and had no desire to ever return after the new society was built.
@@pete_lind That's cool about the Pizza Hut, I'd never heard that before.
@@pete_lind Sorry, I'm 50 right now, and the average 20-year-old seems like a gawdamn ALIEN ("BRRRRRR!")
Can we all take a moment and give cinebinge some love for their thumbnails? I never fail to lol at their choice of imagery.
Except for georges sigourney weaver, sorry G. You seem to be missing a couple of vital assets.
Everyone has a different point at which this future become unacceptable to them, but I've never seen anyone make it past "no spicy food".
Spicy food is trash👎🏿
@@SurgeryIsWoke You have been fined five credits for violation of the verbal morality statute.
It's one of the few things that I could get behind 100%
There are so many different flavors you can focus on even if a whole category like "spicy" gets banned, I just find it incredibly unbelievable if the reason is that you need to ban anything that will even slightly damage your health, but the one fast food franchise with the reputation for damaging your colon is the one left at the end.
@@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.
"Here are my eggs can you please fertilise them... like fish." Has to be the funniest thing I have heard in forever. I'm crying.
One of my favourite scenes (not shown here) is when Spartan knits Huxley a sweater to apologise, and she reveals why he did that. So funny! 😃
How about the when Somon Pheonix takes out the cops and the office crew was like "We're police officers, we're not trained to handle this kind of violence". That always gets me.
I love the look on his face when after getting out of the trashed police car he mentions he can simply fix his shirt, gets me everytime. 🤣
9:21 The build-up to my favourite F-bomb of all time.
Actually, it's not just an F-bomb; it's pretty much the definition of the TV-tropes "Precision F-Strike".
It's just so damn perfect! 😆
Simone's "ad voice" would fit really well in a Fallout game.
Or in Sky captain and World of tomorrow.
Judge Dredd. Another over the top futuristic sci fi action film with Stallone.
Demolition Man and Idiocracy are two movies that age better the more time goes by.
They were both excellent at the time too though, I loved Demolition Man as soon as I saw it(the first time it was on tv I think, probably a couple of years after it came out) I think it didn't get as much attention, just due to bad timing in relation to another big movie(s)
...each getting closer to reality too.
@@retropyro sadly true
I feel like we've already blown right past Idiocracy level stupidity though.
Not so sure that’s a good thing
One of the fun things about this movie: When they released it overseas, they turned Taco Bell into Pizza Hut. They even changed the logos to be Pizza Hut.
Reason being that Taco Bell had no outlets in most of Europe at that time.
Makes sense since both are owned by the same company.
Not everywhere, I live in NZ and it was always Taco Bell here, even though we didn't have Taco Bell (& did have Pizza Hut) I didn't even know about this change until seeing it online comparitively recently.
I saw this on video when it came out in the UK and they definitely said Taco Bell, even though we didn’t have them
It wasn't done well... and it was still a container of nacho cheese I think.
I love how far off your thoughts on what the plot or characters are on a lot of these movies. Seriously, you two are just a delight to watch and listen to. Keep up the good work.
Lol, yeah. Those opening plot predictions are about as useful as my lottery numbers.
I Completely lost it when Simone went, ‘SCRAPE??!’ 😂
Yes, Simon Phoenix is such an amazing villain!
If you loved this movie you absolutely must watch "Last Action Hero". It's a masterpiece of action movies.
"Rubber Baby Buggy Bumpers!"
@@Scottie_S "BIG mistake."
SSSSSLLLLLAAAAAATTTTTTTEEEEEERRRRRR!!
Copland is one of Stallone's best ever films and best ever performances. Plus De Nero, Ray Liotta, and Harvey Keitel.
You had a chance to react to Copland and you blew it! You blew it.
Not "one of" but "the best". He even steals the show from De Niro, Keitel and Liotta.
Dennis Leary, who played Edgar Friendly, did a stand up comedy act in the 90's that sounded very much like his character's diatribe about society.
Ever since the first time I've seen this movie I've imagined The Franchise Wars as being actual wars with employees of different franchises fighting each other.
incoming special sauce grenade!
Maybe Taco Bell's "Salsa of Mass Destruction" is the reason that spicy food is now banned?
Pizza hut or taco bell depending on where the movie came out.
It's probably just a more devastating version of the Cola Wars, just very crushing economic and legal warfare. Taco Bell/Pizza Hut were just more ruthless than Coke and Pepsi were, since no other brands survived.
Love the fact Simon Phoenix has the line "I'd lose my head if it wasn't attached" in the opening scene. Great piece of foreshadowing.
This is one of my favorite movies. The casting director deserves all the awards because everyone is perfect.
Snipes was just great in this era. He was coming off of White Men Can't Jump here, which is one of my top ten movies. Undeniable charisma.
This movie has one of the best scripts for dialogue-driven humor and the action is top-notch, as well. This was my favorite movie as a child and really holds up in both the action and sci-fi genres after nearly 30 years.
One of the most underrated films of all time, and Wesley Snipes as Simon Phoenix is one of the best villains of all time.
Sidenote: I had to explain the non-contact high fives to my younger work colleagues during the pandemic when ‘social distancing’ was a thing.
If you're looking for another Wesley Snipes movie, check out White Men Can't Jump or Money Train. Wesley and Woody Harrellson make for a great pairing.
Passenger 57 is one of my favorites
They first worked together in the football comedy "Wildcats" with Goldie Hawn.
@@Madbandit77 I forgot about that one. Shame Woody couldnt be in "The Fan" or "Major League". Then they could have done a basketball, football AND baseball movie together..
New Jack City. Such a great movie.
Nino Brown
I liked the inclusion of Nigel Hawthorn as Cocteau. He was Sir Humphrey Appleby in the BBC series "Yes, Minister" and "Yes, Prime Minister". Amazing actor.
This movie and the satire of sensitiveness were ahead of it's time...
Not to mention Stallone and Snipes were badasses in it. :)
Some of the best quotes too. And the fuck you lady joke is supreme.
""Thats who you remind me of.... an EVIL Mr. Rodgers."
I think the brilliance of this movie is in the small details, like how the bad word alarm just keeps going off in the background or how subtly Bob just betrays his current superior.
Great reaction!! Here are some great Wesley Snipes movies that you will enjoy: Passenger 57 - 1992, Drop Zone - 1994, The Fan - 1996, Murder At 1600 - 1997, The Art Of War - 2000, Blade Trilogy (1998, 2002 & 2004).
Major League, too.
Also white men can't jump
No ‘White Men Can’t Jump’?
@@alvahv I just gave a few examples.
One of the best 90s action movies. Great casting especially Wesley Snipes.
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.
We've spent THIRTY damn years trying to figure out what the "three shells" are.... Join the club!
Wesley Snipes was brilliant in this movie. This movie is commonly referred to as one of the best examples of the excesses of political correctness.
When I saw it in the cinema when it came out, the future in the film was an absurdity that was very funny because of it.
I didn't even think that later on we would get so close to that absurdity.
The Irony of beeping out the language on a reaction...you know The Party wants it like this
@@TheCentralScrutinizerAgain beeping is not from now. There are beeping in tv and music from 90’s
Except that most of the things that they say are banned have absolutely nothing to do with political correctness, which means language or practices that offend the political sensibilities of others in terms of sex, race or religion. Most of the things that are banned in the movie are things that have been proven harmful to the person doing them e.g. that eating meat or smoking is proven to increase the risk of cancer. Banning them outright might well be seen as outrageous but doing so would be about public health rather than political correctness.
@@SadPeterPan1977 No it's pretty clear. Offensive speech is directly analogous to hate speech, and the food bans are nearly identical to policies instituted in places like New York and even federal school lunch guidelines. It's not hiding the fact that it's social commentary on top down authoritarian over reach.
This movie is still relevant. On so many levels. It's wild
Please watch "The Neverending Story"!
Wesley Snipes, the movie where we found out he was a martial artist. ONWARD TO BLADE!
Whoever wrote and produced this movie is an oracle.
Good Stallone movie (with Kurt Russell) is Tango and Cash.
@@soulextracter Really? I thought it was based on Trudeau's Canada? 😏
Yeah, Tango & Cash and Demolition Man are easily the funniest Stallone movies. Straight action or thrillers, Cliffhanger, Cobra, Rambo: First Blood Part II, which they'll probably get around to watching eventually, likewise Rocky III.
As for Wesley Snipes, White Men Can't Jump is his best comedy, and action thrillers Rising Sun and New Jack City.
@@soulextracter It was also just what was current in the 90s being pushed to an extreme, like much(probably the vast majority of) satire.
It's funny how people always comment on movies like Demolition Man & Idiocracy, as though they somehow predicted the future with no relevance to the time they were made.
That death is the best foreshadowing payoff ever. Remember Phoenix said "Id lose my head if it wasn't attached", and John says "I'll remember that"
You guys should cover Cliffhanger. That’s another great Stallone vehicle where there are a bunch of memorable scenes and bits of dialogue.
Had a really good 'baddy' as well!
@@CyberBeep_kenshi A lot of memorable henchmen there too.
“Do you like soccer? It’s a fucking great sport.” Lol
@@mojoshivers i really need to watch it again.
Didn't he play the trinity killer in Dexter too? Man THAT was a good character..... Best in Dexter series anyways
@@CyberBeep_kenshi Trinity was in fact played by John Lithgow, yes. And he was mesmerizing in the role. That was the best villain and season the series ever had.
The 3 seashells are basically bidet controls. Wash, rinse, dry. No need for toilet paper.
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.
I'm not much of a Stallone fan, generally, but I did like the comedy "Oscar" and the action film "Assassins."
Thank you for mentioning Oscar. It has to be Stallone's most underrated movie.
Both good movies and "Oscar" showed me how good of a comedy actor Stallone can be.
“Now all restaurants are Taco Bell”
One of the most creative product placements ever…
CineBinge - the 3 sea shells are in fact , controls .
one is for Water jet , like a bidet .
one is for Flush .
one is for AIR Dryer.
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.
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.
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.
Agreed
I'm glad you enjoyed this so much, it is one of my favorites and didn't get enough attention when it came out.
The "dirty mouthy guy" is the comedian Denis Leary btw
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)
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.
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 love that you all went into this movie trying to guess what it was going to be about; I know you do it with a bunch of movies, but this one is particularly choice.
The 3 sea shells is one of the great unsolved mysteries in cinematic history.
If you want to know about the 3 sea shells, just search how to use the 3 sea shells. You're welcome.
Seeing you guys in one shot was nagging on my mind the whole reaction, like something is off... took me to the end of movie to realize what it was xD
Thanks for the reaction, glad you loved this fun movie. Spartan vs Phoenix is one of the best matchups in these sort of movies. Especially Wesley Snipes' role as Phoenix was amazing
The three seashells are controls for a bidet.
One shell is the warm water stream control. One shell is the cool water stream control. One shell is the blow dryer control.
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 my favorite movies. It was so underrated in the 90s but speaks volumes today.
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.
Wesley Snipes most diabolical / ruthless villain role was Nino in New Jack City. One of his good comedy roles was in White Men Can't Jump (but I think Rosie Perez was the best part of that movie).
wesley snipes passenger 57 white men can't jump
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.
I don't know of any other extended lore but the Phrase "Murder Death Kill" was adopted as a name of a video game in 1997 called "MDK" (and MDK2).
"Taco Bell was the only restaurant that survived The Franchise wars"
That's an action movie I would watch.
CinaBinge - Jessie Ventura is an Actor (Running Man, Predator), also Weight Lifter, Athelite, PRO Wrestler and Govenor
White Men Can't Jump is another cool Wesley Snipes film. BTW, that is one of the best Squarespace ads I have ever seen 😉.
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.
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
*How the 3 seashells worked:* There was a interview with Sylvester Stallone like 15ish years ago where he said "The writer told me how they worked. You hold two seashells like chopsticks and pull. Than you gently scrape what’s left with the third.
Edgar Friendly's speech about wanting to eat meat, high cholesterol, and reading dirty magazines and all that, is a speech that touches every guy directly into the soul.
Sometimes I think that this whole movie was made around Denis Leary and that monologue.
If you loved that speech, do yourself a favor and check out Denis Leary's "No Cure For Cancer" stand-up show from the same era. It's basically exactly that, but stretched out to about 60 minutes.
The spirit of Ron Swanson sings in this speech and echoes throughout his appearances in Parks & Rec.
It's also copied almost directly from that dude's standup comedy.
It's pretty much just an extension of Learys song "Asshole" that was everywhere (albeit apparently censored in the US)
LOVE the Squarespace ad at 6:15 (I can't believe I've typing this), but the b&w, and esp the voices, are perfect.
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)
And her first name is Lenina, after Lenina Crowne in the book :)
The way you did the SquareSpace commercial dovetailed perfectly with the vibe of the movie.
I was in my early teens when this movie was released, and trust me: Ever since 1993 the entire world wonders how thos seashells work.
If someone figured it out, they never bothered to share their knowledge.
Considering toilets that have bidets already exist, the 3 seashells are a bit less atrocious to use as long as bidets are involved.
According to a Stallone interview, "Extract, Wash, Wipe"
I think she was right and the seashells were buttons that controlled a bidet, air dryer and perfume sprayer to replace toilet paper with a more efficient system
Re. 14:16, a "licking" can already mean a beating, so it kind of makes sense...
I love your reactions and thoughts on movies. You are both a joy to watch. Simone happened to say the hunger games isn’t Japanese inspired. May I suggest you watch a Japanese film called battle royal as it is well worth the watch and shares some similarities. Thanks for all that you do
The reason why PUBG, Fortnite etc are called "Battle Royale" games not "Hunger Games shooters" or such :)
This, and the Last Action Hero, are vastly underrated meta action comedies.
If you want to see Stallone's best acting, try Cop Land. It's nuanced in a way you wouldn't ever expect.
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.
@@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.
Fun Fact - a lot of the outside scenes were filmed at my job in Irvine, CA. One day we went to see the set and a guy was walking towards us in the distance. It was Sylvester Stallone. Sylvester had humongous arms and was really short. He was very nice and signed autographs.
I'm so glad you guys finally got to this movie; it was always one of my favorites!
I believe this was Sandra Bullock's breakout role. Wesley Snipes was just starting out. Rob Schneider was branching out as a sidekick for Adam Sandler, now starting to do roles in Sly Stallone films (he was also in "Judge Dredd" with Stallone). Dennis Leary was just starting to break from his standup to doing film and later TV (Leary created and starred in the long-running firefighter drama series "Rescue Me" and did voice work as the sabertooth in the Ice Age animated franchise).
Do you recognize Glenn Shadix playing the Assistant? He was in "Beetlejuice", but passed away in 2010.
Do you recognize Nigel Hawthorne? I mostly remember him from BBC's "Yes, Minister" and "Yes, Prime Minister".
Sandra Bullock's fellow officer was played by Benjamin Bratt; they also starred together in 2000's "Miss Congeniality".
Yeah, this is a great movie; so funny and so clever...
And you guys were great in reaction to it. So glad you loved the criminals more than the authorities.
Yeah, I would LOVE to see more of the 'Franchise Wars'.
So, yeah...when will you guys do reactions to "Sleepless in Seattle", "Joe vs the Volcano", "Philadelphia",...and "Idiocracy"?
Wesley Snipes films:
TLDR: Must watch Snipes movies are New Jack City, Blade 1, & White Men Can't Jump.
Action films: Blade 1 (1st Marvel Movie before the MCU. Being rebooted with Mahershala Ali playing the role of Blade), Blade 2, Blade Trinity. Passenger 57.
Crime Drama: New Jack City, Money Train (starring Jennifer Lopez)
Comedy/drama: White Men Can't Jump.
You can watch a very different somber Stallone movie, Copland. He is very good in that one.
Yes, please.
Love this movie so much.
New Jack City. Wesley Snipes, Ice-T debut as an actor, Judd Nelson, and a very young Chris Rock.
Blade - a trilogy of Marvel films (pre-MCU) with Snipes as Blade.
White Men Can't Jump with Wesley and Woody Harrelson.
Wildcats: A Goldie Hawn movie. Wesley and Woody's film debuts.
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.
We're pretty much there, about a decade early.
@@citizenbobx No we aren't.
I was 18 when this came out and remember seeing it in the theater, man this movie was epic 👌
This movie was supposed to be a parody, not a documentary.
