Judgment Night is a 1993 neo-noir film starring Emilio Estevez, Denis Leary, Cuba Gooding Jr., Stephen Dorff and Jeremy Piven.Four regular middle-class, suburban guys, Francis "Frank" Wyatt and his brother John, Mike Peterson and Ray Cochran, set out in a fancy RV Ray is testing out to go to a boxing match downtown. On the way, they get stuck in traffic, when they decide to take a shortcut through a seedy part of town to get to the match faster. On the way, they hit a man named Teddy, who's been shot. After unsuccessfully trying to get him help, they run into crime lord Fallon and his henchmen, who drag him out of the RV.Fallon reveals Teddy stole from him and as a result, have him killed. Fallon then declares that there should be "no witnesses" and he and his gang goes after the four men. They all try to escape the gang's clutches. The four guys have no way to summon help to this Wretched Hive, so they must fight their way to freedom against hardened killers. | |

Cult Soundtrack | |
| Judgment Night / int_225527db | comment |
Cult Soundtrack: Today, the film is probably best known for its soundtrack, an early pioneer of Rap Metal that boasted numerous collaborations between early '90s Alternative Rock, Heavy Metal, and Hip-Hop acts. Even though the film failed to make back its budget, the soundtrack went Gold. | |

Caught in the Bad Part of Town: The guys take a detour through the seedy side of Chicago. At first it wasn't bad, meeting some homeless men who first appear to have a gun, but reveal it's a bottle of alcohol, and everyone has a good laugh, except for Ray, who wasn't amused. Then they run into Teddy and it goes downhill from there. | |

| Judgment Night / int_59907e4f | comment |
Police Are Useless At the beginning when the guys have Teddy and try to get help by calling a moving cop car from an RV with their microphone, to no use. When they arrive at the swap meet and trigger the security alarm to get some help, the security guards there arrive, taking an aggressive stance with them, even thinking they're druggies and Fallon is one of their friends, and as a result, get killed by Fallon's gang. Subverted at the end when the cops who arrive after the climax appear to be difficult then discover the truth about what happened. | |

"The Reason You Suck" Speech | |
| Judgment Night / int_7d89315b | comment |
Halfway through the movie, Ray gets a bright idea of confronting Fallon and trying to buy out himself and his friends with one hundred grand, a rather unimpressive sum of money for a drug lord. As if that wasn't suicidally stupid enough, when Fallon delivers a furious rant about how much he cares about him and his proposal (see "The Reason You Suck" Speech above), Ray still doesn't get the hint and simply doubles the offer. | |

He tries again, doubling the offer. Fallon seems to accept the offer and, after a brief laugh, kills Ray by pushing him off the roof. | |

| Judgment Night / int_8ed5c6e4 | comment |
Asshole Victim: The four men act shocked watching Teddy get killed, but considering he stole money from Fallon, he pretty much brought his death on himself, even Ray lampshades on this when bringing him up when trying to negotiate with Fallon on sparing his and his friends' lives. Ray himself ironically becomes this considering he is a Slimeball Dirty Coward Snake Oil Salesman Con Man. | |

Do Not Taunt Cthulhu | |
| Judgment Night / int_9a480050 | comment |
Do Not Taunt Cthulhu: Fallon isn't really having the best of days. He has one of his own gang members steal money from him and has to hunt him down, then he sees four guys witness the murder and now has to kill them too. But they just keep running from him all across the city, which is really irritating him. And to top it all off, one of the guys ends up killing his good friend Sykes, and while he grieves his fallen friend, one of the henchmen with him made the bright decision to berate him over the situation, blaming him for his death. Naturally Fallon would vent his frustrations by holding said guy's head underwater till he drowns. | |

Too Dumb to Live: Halfway through the movie, Ray gets a bright idea of confronting Fallon and trying to buy out himself and his friends with one hundred grand, a rather unimpressive sum of money for a drug lord. As if that wasn't suicidally stupid enough, when Fallon delivers a furious rant about how much he cares about him and his proposal (see "The Reason You Suck" Speech above), Ray still doesn't get the hint and simply doubles the offer. One of Fallon's mooks decides to mouth off to his boss, who isn't exactly known for having much restraints and on top of that, is currently in clearly murderous mood upon discovering that his friend was killed. Fallon's reaction is pretty much predictable. Yes, Frank, grab the hand of the guy who tried to kill you throughout the movie and already succeeded in killing one of your friends. He's not going to try and take you out with him. | |

However, at the swap meet, when Fallon and his surviving henchman wound the latter two and when he threatens to kill him and pay his wife a visit, Frank comes in fighting. | |
