Im Jahr 1996 wird der verurteilte Schwerverbrecher Phoenix bis ins 21. Jahrhundert eingefroren. Nachdem er seine Strafe “abgesessen” hat, wird er wieder aufgetaut, doch die Gesellschaft hat sich verändert: Es gibt keine Verbrechen mehr, und als Phoenix seine alten Gewohnheiten wieder aufnimmt, sieht sich die Polizei ausser Stande, es mit ihm aufzunehmen. Also wird der ehemalige Cop Spartan, der Phoenix damals verhaftet hat und unschuldigerweise ebenfalls eingefroren wurde, auch wieder aus dem Kälteschlaf erweckt, um dem Wahnsinnigen Paroli zu bieten…

"Mellow greetings, citizen.""You Mickey Mouse piece of shit.""What seems to be your boggle?" "C'mon you space age piece of shit." "Be well.""Be fucked." "You are a savage creature John Spartan, and I wish for you to leave my domicile now!" "You're out of toilet paper." "Yes. The Schwarzenegger Presidential Library." "Okay. Let's go blow this guy." *Extended bit taken directly from Denis Leary's actual standup* "...a 47 year-old virgin in gray pajamas soaking in a bubble bath, drinking a broccoli milkshake and thinking 'I'm an Oscar-Meyer Wiener'.""Bad language, chocolate, gasoline, uneducational toys and anything spicy.""Thanks a lot you shit-brained, fuck-faced, ball breaking, duck fucking pain in the ass." ~This concludes this episode of "Out Of Context Demolition Man Actual Quotes Theater*"*Sponsored by Taco Bell
This movie remains a ton of fun. The over-the-top opening is an unintentional(?) parody of every 80's action film. Stallone looks amazing. Sandra Bullock has more charm than you can shake a stick at, delivering nonsensical dialogue in a way that makes you believe it. Wesley Snipes is totally unhinged. Sadly, it suffers from a vision of the future that's too outlandish. Hard to believe that we will ever end up in a situation where people feel comfortable being casually racist to Asians, there's no toilet paper anywhere, the government has the technology to monitor people's every movement, everyone has access to video calling via screens that are ubiquitous, and people are afraid to touch each other for fear of transmitting disease.
A brash police officer and a psychopathic criminal are sentenced to cryogenics in 1996, only to be revived in a sterile, pacifist future where the officer must stop the killer once again.
The film was directed by Marco Brambilla in 1993.
