Stallone mocks his tough guy image and the best moments of this movie are when he and Phoenix are trading blows and insults “You’re on TV!” being a particular favourite. Wesley Snipes has one of his finest hours as the Joker-esque Simon Phoenix who cackles his way through this pussified future causing his own special brand of chaos. Things of course don’t go as planned as Spartan is blamed for the deaths of several civilians and incarcerated in cryosleep for many years. Have you actually had their fries supreme though? Sooo good!Īnyway, the film opens with one of the most spectacular scenes in action movie history and to this day still impresses as John Spartan arrives in a huge chopper in an apocalyptic looking LA to take down his nemesis Simon Phoenix. Taco Bell is still around however, it hasn’t become the dominant food chain… yet.

Thankfully, we haven’t started to use the three sea shells… which we never found out how to use but I imagine it would have been rather painful. You aren’t allowed to smoke in the majority of places and most importantly political correctness has gone out of control where you can’t say anything without someone getting offended. But with Phoenix again on the loose, Spartan must team up with future cop Lenina (Sandra Bullock) to apprehend the killer.ĭemolition Man has turned 25 years old and still stands out as one of Stallone’s finest hours the humour is still relevant today as much of what was predicted has come true. Plot: With innocent victims caught in the crossfire in Los Angeles’ intensifying war on crime, both cop John Spartan (Sylvester Stallone) and violent thug Simon Phoenix (Wesley Snipes) are sentenced to a state of frozen incarceration known as “CryoPrison.” When Spartan is finally thawed 36 years later, it’s 2032, and Los Angeles is now a pacifist utopia called San Angeles.
