Demolition Man saw the future

[85 East]

Looking back now, the writers got a lot of today's tech correct. Obviously we're not in a world that resembles Demolition Man spot on, but I'll be damned if these guys didn't get a lot if it. The AI, Google, touch screens, etc. Would love a sequel with La'Keith Stanfield, Chris Hemsworth and Sly. Make Hemsworth the villain, and La'Keith Simon Phoenix's grandson or something.

"Demolition Man" is a science-fiction action film released in 1993, directed by Marco Brambilla and starring Sylvester Stallone, Wesley Snipes, and Sandra Bullock. The movie is set in a future world in which a violent criminal named Simon Phoenix (played by Snipes) is cryogenically frozen and then thawed out in the year 2032 to wreak havoc on society once again.

To stop Phoenix, the authorities revive a police officer named John Spartan (played by Stallone), who was also frozen after being wrongly convicted of killing innocent civilians. Spartan must adapt to a new, seemingly utopian society that has eliminated all forms of violence and bad behavior, but at the cost of individual freedom and personal expression. Alongside a rule-following officer named Lenina Huxley (played by Bullock), Spartan sets out to stop Phoenix and restore order to the city.

"Demolition Man" is known for its satirical take on society and its humor, action sequences, and futuristic technology. It has become a cult classic and is still popular among fans of the genre.

I wasn't a huge fan of Demolition Man but I suppose I should watch it again to see how it holds up.
It's been a long time.

I like how you mentioned the tech but none of the politics.

I loved the movie, it was so absurdly over the top like most of those action movies back in the day and Snipes carries the whole damn thing

I don't think Sandra Bullock ever got that hottest white chick in the game love she should have, idk maybe cause she didn't look white white. But between this, Speed, and The Net, bish was fine.

Still need that "auto-inflate" tech

Simon Phoenix still one of my favorite characters of all-time.

The Postman with Kevin Costner and Larenz Tate was another movie somewhat surprisingly accurate:
Alt-right really tried that takeover.
When dude was shedding a tear after reading that excerpt from a self-help book "Seizing the Way to Win" like it was all deep and profound.

Wife and I laugh at that Larenz Tate scene though, you know all them folks would've thrown Lincoln under the bus when he yelled back and ducked into the crowd .

No need for a remake.

 

[WesCrook]

Dennis Rodman got his blonde hair idea from this movie.

Yup. But to be fair there were lots of movies and TV shows with tech we use today Richie Rich for example with the Video calling and GPS. The ideas were already out there it was just a matter of time for the tech to catch up.
