This woman is alone in her need for “some action around here”, while appearing to be a high ranking and well respected police officer – as far as female sidekicks go, she did good. Huxley, who yearns for the adrenaline of violence, is a far cry from Under Siege’s Erika Eleniak or Willie from Indiana Jones Temple of Doom.
Not only did it predict Arnold Schwarzenegger’s political career, it also plays about with the leads ‘assumed gender’ roles. What is there not to like? What more could you want? If you were thinking Sandra Bullock then you are in for a treat! Bullock plays 20th Century addict and action-starved Lieutenant Huxley, and now Spartan’s new partner.ĭemolition Man might be a bit tacky but its ahead of its time in a number of ways. Spartan is whipped out the freezer and tasked with capturing the man who framed him for murder and ruined his life. The police force, who now cower in the face of violence, are no match for him and the world is his for the taking The tranquillity is cruelly taken away when Phoenix escapes during his parole hearing. Luckily, 36 years into the future hosts a peaceful and harmonious ‘San Angeles’, where Taco Bell restaurants (or Pizza Hut) are the only restaurant available. John’s ‘hands-on’ approach to law enforcement is a little off colour – but I can assure you – the path to justice was paved with rubble from buildings he demolished.Įverything seems to be hunky-dory for the massive arm of the law until he is framed for murder by his nasty nemesis Phoenix (Wesley Snipes), and sentenced to be cryogenically frozen. In the year 1996, John Spartan (Stallone) is a devil-may-care L.A cop who is constantly deviating from the rule book. Well, you don’t have to imagine it anymore, because it exists, and it is absolutely worth your time.
Imagine a film about a defrosted Sylvester Stallone, a nightmarish sexual simulator and Wesley Snipes saying “what’s your boggle”. Starring: Sylvester Stallone, Wesley Snipes, Sandra Bullock, Nigel Hawthorne, Benjamin Bratt, Bob Gunton, Glenn Shadix, Denis Leary
