From what i hear, he's one of the nicest guys in Hollywood, so while it'd be fun to sock him in the face for... 80% of his filmography, I'd also feel bad about it too.
I actually like that Spartan's advice at the end is "well, you'll figure it out". He is encouraging them to learn to think by themselves instead of listening to a figurehead.
In the words of Brian Cohen: "Listen, you don't need to follow me! You don't need to follow anybody! You've got to work it out for yourselves! You're all individuals!" Crowd: "Yes! We are all individuals!"
And in the words of Ezio Auditore: “We don’t need anyone to tell us what to do. Not the Savonarola, not the Medici. We are free to follow our own path. There are those who will take that freedom from us... To many of you gladly give it. But it is our ability to choose, whatever YOU think is true, that makes us human. There is no book or teacher to give you the answers, to show you the path. Choose your own way. Do not follow me, or anyone else”
It's kind of ironic to call that Spartan as it was absolutely against Spartan values. Sparta was one of the most ultimate displays in crushing individualism and free thought. Spartan men were absolutely discouraged from figuring anything out on their own. They are only there to serve the people who matter and their fellow men. Sparta was the master of the Phalanx and in a phalanx individual fighting ability is almost entirely meaningless, the only thing that matters is the cohesion of the unit as a whole.
An outlaw is someone who is cast out of society. Friendly and the others in the underground are outlaws. Outlawing crime doesn't mean making crime illegal. It means outlawing anyone who commits a crime. Crime by definition is illegal. Outlawing crime literally means permanently removing anyone who commits crime from society.
@@drumguy1384 That sounds something close to what North Korea does. Except that the Country in question tortures them in a concentration camp with their family and their descendants for THREE GENERATIONS.

Demolition Man is a satire masquerading as an action movie in a similar vein to the first Robocop movie or Paul Verhooven's other satire action piece "Starship Troopers". The gag about Schwarzenegger in the movie was repaid in Last Action Hero where Stallone was pictured as the Terminator. None of the films mentioned are the most subtle of satirical films which is why I always wondered why people struggled to see what they were.
In that.order. Starship troopers is what happens when a pvssified, delusional and evil elite ruins the society and an authoritarian rule has to emerge in response to clean the mess and put everything back on track.
John Spartan = obvious Simon Phoenix = "reborn from the ashes" Lenina Huxley = "Brave New World" by Aldous Huxley, featuring a character named Lenina Crowne Raymond Cocteau = Jean Cocteau was a surrealist French poet / writer / filmmaker Edgar Friendly = obvious
What do you mean by John Spartan = obvious? I get that the other characters may have been based on other people but this movie came out way before Halo did.
Hmm... It would make sense Master Chief would be inspired somewhat by old action movie heroes... Though he technically is a Doomguy rip off but I won't get into that.
As I said, there is an example of one of my favorite TV Tropes in this film, the trope in question being "Even Evil Has Standards." Simon Phoenix, in spite of how psychotic, sadistic, sociopathic and just plain evil he is, despises Cocteau _vehemently._ From things like Cocteau's belief that free will is a pox to how he turned California into an overly sensitive, restrictive state, it is quite clear that if Simon Phoenix was able to, he'd *gladly* shoot the bastard dead himself. How I see it: Though Cocteau see's Simon as a justified means to his diabolic end, Simon Phoenix is at least straight about his villainous life. He wears it like a badge of pride. And he despises Cocteau because he's a lying, vile hypocrite who wants to squash free will and freedom of choice. As Simon Phoenix says: "You can't take away peoples rights to be assholes."
@@thomastakesatollforthedark2231 The Scraps are people, too... People whom Cocteau would happily murder for not wanting to live under his regime. So yeah, he is indeed a vile hypocrite...
I know everyone's been making "welcome to current year" jokes ever since this came out, but it's really never been funnier than spring of 2020. We're literally afraid to touch each other and nobody has toilet paper. It's perfect!
Coal Creek Defense who would have thought it would age so well and be a prediction of our current situation! Show me how the 3 sea shells work and we are sorted lol
Also, DEATH STRANDING. A world where people are completely shut off from each other, and reliant on DELIVERY DRIVERS to survive! It actually released just a few months BEFORE the pandemic hit.
I love this movie. it's funny, stupid and cool at the same time. I believe my favorite line was "we're police officers. we're not trained to handle this kind of violence"
I always thought, that the sea shells were just fancy buttons. You know, for those fancy ass showers. One button for cleaning, one for desinfecting and the last for drying.
No, our 1st sea shells use miniature vibrating ultrasounds that cause the "stuff" to loosen off the cheeks. The secondary plays vibrant music that causes relaxation in the intestines allowing ease in the bowel movements, the third uses a miniature molecular ray that fries and transports what is left to the nearest bio recycling plant for power or farmers. We in the future have video plans for children birthed in our Children's Development Facility about the three sea shells.
Same here. I thought they were button/levers that operated a bidet with each controlling the strength of the spray since that seemed like the most logical conclusion.
"I've seen the future, you know what it is it's a 47-year-old virgin sitting around is his face pajama's drinking a banana broccoli shake singing I'm an Oscar Mayer wiener" - A Friendly guy
I saw it recently. I thought it was genius. The whole Noodle-Incident-like seashells joke was so silly, and him cursing to get the fine-distributor to dispense "toilet paper" was hilarious.
You know what? This movie is actually pretty good. I know nostalgia critic reviews bad movies, but this is an exception. Demolition Man is really good.
That's true, but that's what makes it enjoyable. The action does appear silly, the lines are weird, the acting is over the top, but this movie is one of my favorite fun movies.

3 sea shells, they are actually just covering 3 buttons, one you push to flush number 1, one you push to flush number 2 and one you push to get a baday (spell?) spray wash. my theory when I was young anyway
I-am Awesomeness All of that kinda gets thrown out when you remember that there is still a toilet bowl there. The only thing the seashells replaced was toilet PAPER; if they acted as you said, the bowl would be superfluous.
Sterling Muse again, it's a future run by Tumblr, they're crazy enough to think of something that needlessly complicated, maybe the toilets are stronger at flushing in the future considering the possibility that more people could have been using "flushable" wipes then maybe moved to seashells
I always thought when you put them together they created a tiny laser that only destroys poo. :p No, but seriously. When I heard what a bidet was years after seeing the movie my first thought was "Oh that's what the three seashells were."
HOLY SHIT, that is probably the best theory I have heard yet. Thank you good sir, I have finally discovered the most likely explanation for the 3 seashells (and I am not even kidding), my life is now complete
Fun fact: In Germany they dubbed "Taco Bell" with "Pizza Hut", because there are no "Taco Bells" in Germany. Which makes no sense because you can still read "Taco Bell" in the film multiple times. And I'm not sure they got money from "Pizza Hut" for that change... Still: Awesome movie!
That's no alternative. Everybody who is able to read should be able to read subtitles. You don't have to re-make every movie for every language in the world...!
In the international version, Taco Bell was replaced by Pizza Hut, as sit was thought that PH was more internationally known. All Taco Bell logos were digitally replaced by the Hut.
Internationally speaking this made total sense. I've never encountered a Taco Bell anywhere in Europe, but found Pizza Huts in every country I've been to.
Ik this was a year ago, but I saw the Pizza Hut version, and I realized that there is one part where they forgot to replace it, which was on the logos on the door of the resturant
13:39 is another prediction made by this movie even though it was a joke. In 2017, the REACT channel uploaded a video titled "Do College Kids Know 80s Action Movies?", in which people are shown posters w/ the titles removed. One of the reactors then said the following about The Terminator: "What? This is Arnold Schwarzenegger..... the governor. I don't know this movie, and I didn't know he acted." Let that sink in for a moment.
Shoutout to whoever created that beautiful modern art masterpiece at 13:29. I agree Doug, this movie NEEDS to happen ASAP. Staying true to the awesomely cheesy '90's lines: *The Franchise Wars* _Meat Your Maker_
Some dude: What seems to be your boggle? :))) Phoenix: My boggle? *looks disgusted, still looking disgusted* His mind: Christ I woke up in Canada Hands down the funniest bit of the movie
Demolition Man is one of my favorites I remember being 11 years old seeing this movie theater. Watching it now at 33 years old and a big comic book fan this is totally Batman and Robin remixed. Wesley Snipes in my opinion plays "the Joker"better than anyone ever has watch this movie and you'll see what I mean. Stallone is like a more hardcore "Batman" haha and even Bullock is like "robin"

“Look, you can’t take away people’s right to be assholes.” An underrated quote that brings up a very good point as that’s what Cocteau as he plans to make slaves out of everyone under his utopia.
Forget the seashells. The most perplexing thing about this movie is how the future bad guy defrosts a psychotic mass murderer just to kill what equates to a graffiti-painting vandal. That's like putting a cobra in your garden to kill a gopher.
You seem to be missing the point. The point the movie is that society is so pacified and timid that the cops are now totally helpless against even a minor petty criminal like Edgar Friendly. And of course the leader is so determined to build the perfect society that he regards even minor threats to his plan as major issues that require dramatic solutions.
No I get it, I just find it to be a incredibly unlikely contrivance, nobody would be that stupid I don't care how meek their society is, he should be able to see from his records that "hey this guy might just be over the frickin top"
to clarify the three seashells are buttons on a combination toilet bidet. one rinses one flushes one dries. the reference was made to confuse americans because we simply never use bidets and to my knowledge there is not one that combines both currently but in a future world where water reduction and recycling is in high demand it makes perfect sense to combine the two.
Holy fuck, this is one of those movies that just...KEEPS. GETTING. MORE. RELEVANT. Like, does whoever made it saw into the future how the internet landscape would be?
Brian Tolley Daniel Waters said: "I won't tell you the actual secret, but I'll tell you where it came from. There's a scene where Stallone has to use a restroom. I'm trying to come up with futuristic things you'd find in there. I was having trouble, so I called my buddy, another screenwriter across town, asked him if he had any ideas. Ironically enough that guy was taking a dump when he answered the phone, looked around his bathroom and said 'I have a bag of seashells on my toilet as a decoration?' I said 'Ok, I'll make something out of that.".... and that explains nothing. Goddamnit!
Brian Tolley I believe the whole thing is a joke, that or the seashells are just buttons for water spray control like Japanese toilets. If the seashells were supposedly used to manually grab shit from your ass, it would be inefficent beyond belief and insanitary as fuck - which I'm fairly certain would qualify as "something bad" in this crazy universe.
I had this movie on Laserdisc. Imagine the added joy I get when Huxley exclaims “you’re even better in real life than Laserdisc”. The circle is complete.
Wait, Malcolm "outlawed all crime"? Isn't that a tautology, i.e. something being outlawed and something being a crime are definitionally the same? Is that the joke?
OK, the three seashells is straightforward. They are controls for the Bidet. One Spritzes the back, the other the front with less pressure, and the third activates the dryer in the seat. The fact that this is still a question *even after Sandra Bullock said as much in an article* is beyond me.

@ScentlessApprentice7 Necro, but I don't think this is what America would be like if Hilary won. I think just said what the SJWs wanted to hear to get elected and then once she was in the White House she would've done whatever the hell she wanted.
Just wondered if Demolition Man was one of those films that Kim Jong Il thought was documentaries ?
As someone who would probably qualify as an "sjw" by yalls standards saying that we want this movie to happen is like saying right wingers want total recalls version of mars.

@@cavemancult1999 irk lol
Demolition Man is a satire masquerading as an action movie in a similar vein to the first Robocop movie or Paul Verhooven's other satire action piece "Starship Troopers".
The gag about Schwarzenegger in the movie was repaid in Last Action Hero where Stallone was pictured as the Terminator.
None of the films mentioned are the most subtle of satirical films which is why I always wondered why people struggled to see what they were.
Demolition Man WORKED. Last Action Hero Did NOT work.

@@LucianDevine the world may never know
This comment ages very well with the current toilet paper shortage
As I said, there is an example of one of my favorite TV Tropes in this film, the trope in question being "Even Evil Has Standards."
Simon Phoenix, in spite of how psychotic, sadistic, sociopathic and just plain evil he is, despises Cocteau _vehemently._
From things like Cocteau's belief that free will is a pox to how he turned California into an overly sensitive, restrictive state, it is quite clear that if Simon Phoenix was able to, he'd *gladly* shoot the bastard dead himself.
How I see it: Though Cocteau see's Simon as a justified means to his diabolic end, Simon Phoenix is at least straight about his villainous life. He wears it like a badge of pride. And he despises Cocteau because he's a lying, vile hypocrite who wants to squash free will and freedom of choice. As Simon Phoenix says: "You can't take away peoples rights to be assholes."
People healthy, happy, and not hurting one another? Oh what a vile hypocrite

because they survived the franchise war. the pope probably takes bribes from them too.
The ultimate paradox...
I think since Taco Bell was the remaining franchise, it was made to conform to the laws of better eating.
I remember when I saw this at 10 I thought the franchise wars were a real "war" war, with killing lol.
Congratulations, In Cyberpunk 2077, protagonists toilet is equipped with 3 seashells and no toilet paper... the legend lives on

I always thought, that the sea shells were just fancy buttons. You know, for those fancy ass showers. One button for cleaning, one for desinfecting and the last for drying.
O.O that...does make some sort of sense...
FINALLY, SOMEONE EXPLAINED IT TO ME! GOD, THANK YOU!!
No, our 1st sea shells use miniature vibrating ultrasounds that cause the "stuff" to loosen off the cheeks. The secondary plays vibrant music that causes relaxation in the intestines allowing ease in the bowel movements, the third uses a miniature molecular ray that fries and transports what is left to the nearest bio recycling plant for power or farmers. We in the future have video plans for children birthed in our Children's Development Facility about the three sea shells.
Same here. I thought they were button/levers that operated a bidet with each controlling the strength of the spray since that seemed like the most logical conclusion.

What if this was a prequel to judge dredd
that actually seems somewhat plausible
3 sea shells, they are actually just covering 3 buttons, one you push to flush number 1, one you push to flush number 2 and one you push to get a baday (spell?) spray wash. my theory when I was young anyway
Will J. That...Actually makes a whole lot of sense. Damn.
that's the most plausible thing ive ever heard
I-am Awesomeness All of that kinda gets thrown out when you remember that there is still a toilet bowl there. The only thing the seashells replaced was toilet PAPER; if they acted as you said, the bowl would be superfluous.
Sterling Muse again, it's a future run by Tumblr, they're crazy enough to think of something that needlessly complicated, maybe the toilets are stronger at flushing in the future considering the possibility that more people could have been using "flushable" wipes then maybe moved to seashells
LMAO. I've watched this several since it's come out. Just now realized it.. "HE DIDN'T PAY HIS TAXES!"
I always thought the three sea shells were buttons to activiate a bidet, wipe and air drier.
I think you grab 2 of the seashells and grab the third with the seashells and use the third as a shit-scoop
Water, air and flush.
I always thought when you put them together they created a tiny laser that only destroys poo. :p
No, but seriously. When I heard what a bidet was years after seeing the movie my first thought was "Oh that's what the three seashells were."
I thought it was rough (for when you've just started cleaning), fine (for getting what's left) and buttplug (for extra good cleaning).
HOLY SHIT, that is probably the best theory I have heard yet.
Thank you good sir, I have finally discovered the most likely explanation for the 3 seashells (and I am not even kidding), my life is now complete
Fun fact: In Germany they dubbed "Taco Bell" with "Pizza Hut", because there are no "Taco Bells" in Germany. Which makes no sense because you can still read "Taco Bell" in the film multiple times. And I'm not sure they got money from "Pizza Hut" for that change...
Still: Awesome movie!

+Appleseed66 Haha! Reading is for pussies!
In the international version, Taco Bell was replaced by Pizza Hut, as sit was thought that PH was more internationally known. All Taco Bell logos were digitally replaced by the Hut.
Why did we get stuck with Tex-Mex Fast Food in our version, instead of near-good pizza, salad and breadsticks with soda?
Internationally speaking this made total sense. I've never encountered a Taco Bell anywhere in Europe, but found Pizza Huts in every country I've been to.
Ik this was a year ago, but I saw the Pizza Hut version, and I realized that there is one part where they forgot to replace it, which was on the logos on the door of the resturant
I have the Pizza Hut version of the dvd
I was surprised when the guy said Taco Bell expecting him to say Pizza Hut during the review.
13:39 is another prediction made by this movie even though it was a joke. In 2017, the REACT channel uploaded a video titled "Do College Kids Know 80s Action Movies?", in which people are shown posters w/ the titles removed.

Forget the seashells. The most perplexing thing about this movie is how the future bad guy defrosts a psychotic mass murderer just to kill what equates to a graffiti-painting vandal. That's like putting a cobra in your garden to kill a gopher.
You seem to be missing the point. The point the movie is that society is so pacified and timid that the cops are now totally helpless against even a minor petty criminal like Edgar Friendly. And of course the leader is so determined to build the perfect society that he regards even minor threats to his plan as major issues that require dramatic solutions.
No I get it, I just find it to be a incredibly unlikely contrivance, nobody would be that stupid I don't care how meek their society is, he should be able to see from his records that "hey this guy might just be over the frickin top"
it is like putting a chicken into a vegi garden to deal with a single snail

@@Rikard_Nilsson It's amusing you have that much faith in human intelligence.
to clarify the three seashells are buttons on a combination toilet bidet. one rinses one flushes one dries. the reference was made to confuse americans because we simply never use bidets and to my knowledge there is not one that combines both currently but in a future world where water reduction and recycling is in high demand it makes perfect sense to combine the two.
Hmm... Crocodile Dundee: "It's for washing your backside, right?" Seems legit.

Brian Tolley Daniel Waters said: "I won't tell you the actual secret, but I'll tell you where it came from. There's a scene where Stallone has to use a restroom. I'm trying to come up with futuristic things you'd find in there. I was having trouble, so I called my buddy, another screenwriter across town, asked him if he had any ideas. Ironically enough that guy was taking a dump when he answered the phone, looked around his bathroom and said 'I have a bag of seashells on my toilet as a decoration?' I said 'Ok, I'll make something out of that.".... and that explains nothing. Goddamnit!
Brian Tolley I believe the whole thing is a joke, that or the seashells are just buttons for water spray control like Japanese toilets. If the seashells were supposedly used to manually grab shit from your ass, it would be inefficent beyond belief and insanitary as fuck - which I'm fairly certain would qualify as "something bad" in this crazy universe.
