This or Demolition Man?

Both.

And add in Cliffhanger for some awesome Lithgow moments.

demolition man, but i watch judge dredd right after like a sequel.

Rat burger and shells... well, demolition wins!

Demolition Man is by far a better movie. It's basically a better more polished version of Dredd. The action is great, the comedy is on-point, and the plot, subtext, etc. are so relevant today it's insane. It's like we're living in the early years of the Cockteau Era.

Now I do enjoy Judge Dredd. I think it was a little misunderstood - it's clearly trying to be funny and hokey at times much like Demolition Man - but I wouldn't call it a good movie. It's fun and amusing. It could have been better, but it's still a decent comic book flick, especially in an era where they weren't made often.

DM for sure.

Wesley Snipes ftw.

They're both essential. The following info about the connections between the two is from the below article: "The people behind Judge Dredd had to rewrite the script so as to cut down on the similarities if not remove them wholesale. The premise was still going to involve a bad man who escapes prison thanks to a corrupt politician who is then betrayed by the bad man. There’s also the same voice actress – Adrienne Barbeau. Then there are other elements like a policewoman who helps the hero go rogue, and a lab being used to create soldiers."

"It was like they left those bits in so that the general public would seek out the connection i.e. both movies share a producer in the form of Tony Munafo – Sly’s bodyguard. He’s acted in quite a number of Sly’s movies, and he’s produced 13 of them. In fact, every movie that he has ever produced was a Stallone movie. Besides the casting of Rob Schneider as the comic relief, both movies have two other things in common – concept illustrator Simon Murton and storyboard artist Robert Consing."

"Both movies were par for the course for Sly anyway since he had already been in a movie where he played a cop who was imprisoned for a crime that he didn’t commit i.e. Tango & Cash. Here’s the thing – Tango & Cash has already been exposed as a homoerotic action movie, but Sly seems to be have an obsession with prisons with or without that movie. In Lock Up, he played a mechanic who was rightfully convicted whereas he played a wrongly incarcerated professional in Escape Plan."

There was a Demolition Man sequel planned on the same year of this Judge Dredd movie.
