Judge Dredd | comment |
Judge Dredd is a 1995 film adaptation of the comic book of the same name directed by Danny Cannon and starring Sylvester Stallone, Armand Assante, Diane Lane, Rob Schneider, Max von Sydow and Jürgen Prochnow.Following ecological and social breakdown in the 31st Century, those who survived flocked to the Mega-Cities, large urban landscapes covering hundreds of square miles. The Mega-Cities become overcrowded, giving way to wide-scale, uncontrollable crime and violence. Law and Justice, as we know them, become something of the past. To combat the rampant criminal activity, a new kind of police force is created, one with the power to dispense both justice and punishment, acting as Judge, Jury, and Executioner. They are The Judges.The most dangerous of the Mega-Cities is Mega-City One, and to combat those dangers is the toughest of the Judges. His name is Judge Joseph Dredd.Convicted of a crime he didn't commit, Dredd is out to bring justice to the situation which has befallen him as he uncovers the nasty conspiracy surrounding the perfect criminal, Rico.The film combines characters and major plot points from about five completely separate story arcs in the comics along with other minor elements from the comic's history and tries to blend it all together in a single 96-minute narrative.For the 2012 film adaptation, see Dredd. | |

Artistic License – Gun Safety | |
Judge Dredd / int_10134c97 | comment |
Artistic License – Gun Safety: In the beginning, Judge Dredd makes three major mistakes in regards to the rioters firing down on him and the other Judges: First, he describes the mix of weapons fired on them as if they all share the same characteristics. Even guns that fire the same ammunition can differ in how they handle accuracy and recoil, but there's no reason to assume they all had the same range. Second, the idea of an effective lethal range. Calculation of effective range has more to do with the expectation that a shooter can actually hit who they are aiming at. The reason why it's not presented as lethal range is because bullets only need a relatively low amount of force to wound or kill because of their penetration. Third, the shooters were firing down. Their aim may be terrible, but the bullets are going to keep heading in that direction regardless because of gravity. In an example of both this point and number two above, people have been killed before by someone firing into the air because bullets come back down with enough force from gravity alone to kill someone. Dredd uses a grenade round from his Lawgiver to blow up a guy's car without regard for the implications of doing so on a busy city street. | |

I Will Tear Your Arms Off: Rico orders his ABC robot to rip off Griffin's limbs (and save the head for last) when he doesn't approve of Rico's takeover of the Janus project and threatens to do the same for Judge Hershey if Dredd refuses to join him. Then he orders the robot to do it to Dredd instead. | |

Failsafe Failure | |
Judge Dredd / int_1d3c92da | comment |
Failsafe Failure: The Judges' Lawgiver guns can't be activated safely be anyone except them. Anyone else will be electroctued. Rico though, even after he's been convicted of murder, can still activate one. No one thought to remove his authorization when he was convicted? This could be justified though if his accomplice, Judge Griffin, kept him authorized to use it. However, since Lawgiver rounds are tagged with the user's DNA and the rounds recovered from the murder of the journalist matches Dredd, it's likely Rico is a close enough match that it will still work, especially seeing as Dredd is able to use Rico's own Lawgiver with no issues. | |

Adaptational Villainy: Judge Griffin is one of the bad guys here, filling a similar role to Judge Cal from the comics in framing Dredd and trying to take over the city, but with the insanity toned down and paired up with Rico. Judge Griffin in the comics was one of Dredd's main allies against Cal and served as a decent Chief Judge for some time afterwards. | |

Clone Degeneration: This is the implied reason why Rico looks nothing like Dredd and became Ax-Crazy. It was more clearly seen when Rico hatches the first set of clones early.

Our Clones Are Different: The Evil Plan of Rico Dredd is to create a battalion of his clones with which to violently take control of Megacity One. Although the heroes manage to shut down the process before the clones are ready, it's clear they'd've emerged from their artificial wombs as grown adults. As a further case, Rico Dredd himself is a clone of Judge Dredd that glitched during the process, making him a genetically identical evil doppelganger. | |

Loyal Phlebotinum: The Judges' guns record the shooter's DNA whenever a shot is fired, so each death can be traced back to the relevant Judge and trial. They also store palmprint records, so if a non-Judge tries to use the weapon, it delivers an incapacitating shock.note This is different from the comic version, which explodes when picked up by a non-Judge and will not fire for any Judge other than its owner. | |

Disproportionate Retribution | |
Judge Dredd / int_50b05d30 | comment |
Disproportionate Retribution: Dredd sentences Fergie to a five-year stint in the Aspen penal colony for hacking a food dispenser droid to save himself during a block war in his new neighborhood, Dredd reasoning that Fergie is a habitual criminal (having only just returned from a six month stay in Aspen). Hershey even questions the sentence. When coming across a DUI, Dredd shoots the offender's car. With a grenade round. We can assume that the sentence for repeated DUI is some form of destroying the offender's car, given Hershey only quips "subtle" as opposed to objecting to the action itself. | |

Bond One-Liner: Near the beginning of the film, a street rioter kills rookie Street Judge Brisco, and as Dredd lists off the sentences for his various crimes, the perp sarcastically asks if the murder nets him life in prison before attempting to kill Dredd. Dredd kills him before remarking that the punishment is "Death. Court's adjourned." "Happy motoring." | |

Clear Their Name: To a lesser extent, Fergie expects Dredd to let the Justice Department know of Fergie's innocence and let him off the hook. It leads to a few humorous moments, such as Dredd winding up in a shootout in the Hall of Justice and, upon bumping into Fergie again, being asked if he told them Fergie can go free. | |

Alleged Lookalikes: The film got a lot of mockery for featuring Sylvester Stallone and Armand Assante as "identical twins" Joseph and Rico Dredd, who are both the clone sons of Chief Justice Fargo (Max von Sydow). All three men have vastly different facial structures and body types. The whole thing runs on Hollywood Genetics, with Rico's DNA being so identical to Joseph's that he can frame him for a murder by planting the gun that Rico used, so they aren't non-identical twins or something like that. | |

Judge Dredd / int_875615dd | comment |
Truth in Television: Despite sharing identical DNA, Fargo, Dredd and Rico look nothing alike, besides skin and hair (for Dredd and Rico anyway) colour. In reality, clones tend not to resemble their "parent" too much, since your appearance is determined only partially by your DNA, it's also determined by the life you lead and the conditions you're exposed to in the womb. Of course, the real reason is that it would have been too difficult to have Stallone play three characters, one in heavy age makeup, all of which have face-to-face interaction, and also, having them all look the same would have tipped viewers off to The Reveal that Dredd and Rico were Fargo's clones way too early. This is handwaved by Fargo stating that his DNA was altered to give the best results. | |

Or to crash one of said hoverbikes into a building (presumably containing at least some innocent people) and exploding several floors of it. | |

While his fellow Judges are crouching for cover in the middle of a blockwar, Dredd does a Dynamic Akimbo while a microphone deploys in his helmet to relay his voice to his bike's PA system. A more dramatic version plot-wise is during Dredd's trial. Rico's discussion with newly-minted Chief Justice Griffin when they discuss their plans for Mega City One gives us this: | |

Adaptational Wimp | |
Judge Dredd / int_d500b978 | comment |
Adaptational Wimp: Fergie from the comics is a musclebound mutant brawler so tough that he made himself king of the Big Smelly and went toe-to-toe with Judge Dredd himself in one-on-one combat. The 1995 movie makes him a Butt-Monkey citizen and comic relief character played by Rob Schneider. | |

In My Language, That Sounds Like...: Sylvester Stallone slurring Dredd's catchphrase makes it sound like he's saying "AYAM TELUR!" Which is Malay for 'Chicken Egg'. | |

Judge Dredd / int_dc057cf3 | comment |
Adaptation Name Change: The ABC Warrior is Hammerstein from ABC Warriors, likely because ABC Warriors is a less well known property and the robot in question lacks Hammerstein's trademark hammer. | |

Percussive Maintenance: When the new Lawmaster prototype won't start, Dredd gives it a solid thump and it comes online. It failed again eventually, but by that time Dredd was able to jack one of the more reliable models. | |

The Load | |
Judge Dredd / int_e68b72 | comment |
The Load: Fergie's role in this film reads like some kind of liability bingo card. He constantly gets in Dredd's way, holds him up in almost every chase sequence, trips in the middle of an access shaft of doom about to burst into flame, blows Dredd's cover when in disguise, and generally can't shut up to save his life. His one useful act in the entire movie was to disable a giant robot, which may not have even been necessary if Dredd's shotgun had anything to say about it. | |

The Alleged Car: The prototype Lawmaster with a hovering function which Dredd demonstrates to a class of cadets. It is later apparently adopted by the SJS with its flaws still remaining. The Lawmaster props were this in Real Life. The tyres were so big, they were incredibly difficult to steer properly. | |

Judge Dredd / int_fd4f8299 | comment |
Well-Intentioned Extremist: Griffin really just wants to stop the city (one of only 3 left in America) falling into anarchy and to bring some kind of order to their society. He is pretty much a fascist, though; in his first scene, he suggests expanding execution to include lesser crimes. And his actions (framing Dredd, duping Fargo into stepping down, his choice of dragon and murdering of the council) are essentially evil. | |
