Sure, but it also meant to be a joke and if you don't know that Taco Bell is some sort of fast food restaurant you don't get why the character acts so confused about the notion to get invited to taco bell. You get the joke if you replace Taco Bell with Pizza Hut, though. Like, the first time I watched Ant-man I was totally confused by the "I take whatever is hot and fresh" joke because I had no idea what Baskin Robins is.

The first is for the sides, the second is for the middle, and the last is for scraping up what the first two shells didn't get. The only explanation I can think of this is that I know TV stations make their own edits of films using assembly cuts so they can thematically edit in cuts to commercials.

Calling Simon Phonix as "just one gangster" is a bit of an understatement, the implication is the he *is* the reason why LA was such a criminal hellhole in 1996, if I recall correctly its stated in the intro scene that he united all the gangs into an army and took over part of the city. Him being a ridiculously over-the-top supervillain is what makes the short time span for societal shift to sorta work, as the people would be sick and scared of that much mayhem and accepting of anybody promising to fix society so that it would never happen again.

True, not to mention the fact that while Simon was frozen his brain was fed advanced training in hacking, terrorism and undoubtedly all matters martial, essentially turning him into a specialist in toppling societies and creating mayhem, while Mr. Man was brainwashed into being an avid knitter. Furthermore perhaps the population at large, apart from some individuals who later formed the rebelling faction, also received similar brainwashing to make them more receptive to the society Cocteau built? This movie would definitely have benefited from an extra 10-15 minutes of worldbuilding.

I disagree with the Taco Bell advertising criticism in Demolition Man. I thought it was funny at the time, maybe because it was still a novel concept, but I think it's less annoying when they make it so obvious and integrated into the world. It transcends simple brand recognition and becomes a satirical commentary on the watering down of culture and cuisine in this hypothetical future.

Not really, unless in a facetious strawman kind of way. If this review had come out this year, I'm sure that the comments would be filled to the brim with snide remarks and emotive tirades about "wokism". But that's not what's being depicted in Demolition Man. What's being depicted is an authoritarian means of controlling the minds, thoughts and actions of society. It's not any different in its fundamental reasoning than the doublespeak, double think and Newspeak depicted in Nineteen Eighty-Four. And the motivation behind it has absolutely nothing to do with any current concept of political correctness let alone "wokism". In fact it's much closer to where the term political correctness came from, which was describing how authoritarian regimes, such as in the old USSR, Cultural Revolution China and Red Scare period America would police the citizenry for "thought crimes" against the approved political dogma of the government. Political correctness in the context of Demolition Man is just another way to achieve the same end while also convincing the citizenry that they are not oppressed. It is similar to how Fahrenheit 451 describes the gradual slide of its society into authoritarian oppression. The government preyed upon a citizenry that was anxious, angry, afraid and confused about the constant tension of an informational, intersectional, pluralist and multicultural world. In other words, there was a "culture war" and the government capitalised and leveraged those fears and attitudes to exert control over society to its own ends. In the case of Fahrenheit 451, it was through a similar outcome as Demolition Man, but ultimately it was indistinguishable from typical fascism.

The thing is... A lot of their issues with the movie can be summed up as "That's the point." Dennis Leary's character having rants that just sound like his standup, that's the point. Stallone being big bad action man in a future where everyone is a pacifist who don't know how to defend themselves, that's the point.

For those of you too young to clearly remember the early 90's, I can tell you that nobody back then thought the hellish city-scape of 1996 as depicted in the film was terribly unrealistic. The Rodney King riots took place in the summer of 1992, probably during the filming of this movie.

@UberNoodle

The thing is, I don't think it really does "predict the 2020s" in anything but a facetious strawman kind of way. If this review had come out this year, I'm sure that the comments would be filled to the brim with snide remarks and emotive tirades about "wokism". But that's not what's being depicted in Demolition Man. What's being depicted is an authoritarian means of controlling the minds, thoughts and actions of society. It's not any different in its fundamental reasoning than the doublespeak, double think and Newspeak depicted in Nineteen Eighty-Four. And the motivation behind it has absolutely nothing to do with any current concept of political correctness let alone "wokism". In fact it's much closer to where the term political correctness came from, which was describing how authoritarian regimes, such as in the old USSR, Cultural Revolution China and Red Scare period America would police the citizenry for "thought crimes" against the approved political dogma of the government. Political correctness in the context of Demolition Man is just another way to achieve the same end while also convincing the citizenry that they are not oppressed. It is similar to how Fahrenheit 451 describes the gradual slide of its society into authoritarian oppression. The government preyed upon a citizenry that was anxious, angry, afraid and confused about the constant tension of an informational, intersectional, pluralist and multicultural world. In other words, there was a "culture war" and the government capitalised and leveraged those fears and attitudes to exert control over society to its own ends. In the case of Fahrenheit 451, it was through a similar outcome as Demolition Man, but ultimately it was indistinguishable from typical fascism.

Regarding the Back to the Future / California Raisin thing... I've heard that commentary a few times. Rich doesn't get the story quite right here (I'm not trashing on Rich, just correcting the story). Universal made the deal with the California Raisin Board to feature raisins in the movie, with the promise that them being featured in BTTF would "do for raisins what E.T. did for Reese's Pieces." Both Bob Gale and Robert Zemeckis were frustrated with this. Bob Gale is the one telling the story in the commentary. Part of the problem was that it wasn't for a specific brand of raisins (i.e. Sunmaid Raisins)... it was just raisins (think of it like the old "got milk?" commercials, which was never for a specific brand of milk like Deans or something). So it wasn't like they could show a box of raisins since it wasn't a brand specific deal. At one point it was suggested that they have a bowl of raisins next to the punch bowl at the Enchantment Under the Sea Dance, but in the commentary, Bob Gale explains that on film "a bowl of raisins is going to look like a bowl of dirt." So when all was said and done, having the general "California Raisins" logo on the park bench was the result of the deal. While I'm sure having the bum laying on the bench didn't help, it really wasn't the bum specifically that upset them... it was the fact that simply having the logo on the bench at the end in no way, shape, or form came even remotely close to the promise of BTTF giving raisins the same level of attention and promotion as E.T. did with Reese's Pieces. It was at that point that the California Raisin Board got upset, wanting their money back and was otherwise ready to sue Universal. When Universal brought up the issue to Bob Gale and Robert Zemeckis, their response was basically that if they get involved in the dispute, they are going to testify in favor of the Raisin Board because it was a bad, ridiculous deal to begin with that had to realistic chance of giving them the kind of promotion they were looking for. So, the Board got their money back.

Fun fact. One of the earliest examples of product placement was in the 1961 film One, Two, Three. It was about a coke businessman in Berlin before the wall fell. But a bunch of executives on the film who represented Pepsi were unhappy that Coke basically got an entire movie of advertising. So the director threw in one instance of Pepsi in the movie. At the end, the main character is buying his family cokes from a coke machine. When he buys his own, a pepsi comes out and he grimaces at it. Then the movie ends.

funny story, the whole salt thing may not actually be true, there's never been a full study of the effects of too much salt in your diet. We know that you will die if you eat a huge amount in one day but the evidence that too much salt over a continued period is spotty at best. It's one of those weird things where doctors just parrot this as it encourages the eating of fresher meals as salt is often an additive in the less healthy meals.

Actually, Taco Bell tacos have very little sodium compared to almost any other fast food item. Meanwhile, burgers from McD's or BK are practically made of salt with meat flavoring. And because they the tacos are rather low in carbs and actual sugars, they're not so bad for die-a-bee-tees.

Demolition Man opened on October 8, 1993, only a few months after the terrific Stallone film, Cliffhanger (that was May 1993). So the movie starts three years after it was released, not five. As for product placement, that was going on way before BTTF. Remember the box of Cheerios in Superman - The Movie? The Bond films also have lots of product placement in them. There was a random AMC car dealership in 1974's The Man With The Golden Gun.

Good job guys! I can remember going to see Demoltion man in the theater with my mom, she wanted to see Stallone's ass. Can you believe the movie was rated R? I a couple of swear words in an otherwise almost bloodless action movie (with frozen head of course.) I could have sworn in my pre-teen mind I saw more of Sandra Bullock in the "sex" scene than I have seen in subsequent viewings as an adult. I have to say, the Taco Bell in Demolition man doesn't seem like much of an endorsement. The bemusement of Stallone at the fact that Taco Bell won, the odd haute cuisine? The movie seemed to push ratburgers, best damn burger Stallone had had in years. In addition, the sea shell conceit was the best! I love that they thought up a system for something so basic and made it just flat out as incomprehensible to the audience as it was to the main character. I also liked Stallone's solution!

All I can say to the idiotic teenagers and adults that did not go to see this when I was a little kid is "WHAT'S YOUR BOGGLE?" I remember seeing this for the first time in the late 90s on NBC Sunday night when they played a movie. The edited version was still really good and I remember even as like a 10 yr old this movie seemed smarter than the average action movie. The one problem for me is THEY CUT OUT THE PART WITH JESSIE VENTURA GETTING KILLED AND MOST OF HIS SCENES!

To disagree with Rich, I can't think of a more successful way to play the character than what Stallone did. The character has to be this caricature. A more serious performance wouldn't allow the movie to go from cryo-thawing to working as a police officer in a futuristic dystopia in the span of a day. It would bloat the movie with more minutia about the future than the perfect amount we got. A more serious character requires answers to questions the movie doesn't need to be giving or expounding upon. We don't need someone asking follow up questions to quick gags like 'franchise wars' and 'schwarzenegger library'. Anyone but Sly's Jon Spartan would demand an immediate explanation as to the three sea shells, and no one would have not hold him.That line can't work with another type of performance unless it's even more comical. What non-comical grunt would go from meat popcycle to being able to sleep the first night back?
