Makes me feel like I'm watching Demolition Man 2


Demolition Man and Judge Dredd were filmed almost back to back for Stallone (he slipped The Specialist in there somehow), so being made in the same era, with the same technology level of special effects, and just the way action/sci-fi was being made at the time, I have always viewed this as some kind of spiritual successor to Demolition Man.

You could see John Spartan being put back in cry-prison to serve out the rest of his time, and then awakening to being supercop Judge Dredd, having no recollection of his past life thanks to a mindwipe and new training during his long sleep.

You nailed it. Every action/sci-fi movie at the time looked like this. Movies might have different directors and actors but they're all made by the same crew. These guys all smoke cigs and eat doughnuts at the same crafts table and share tradecraft and shop talk.
