Editorial Review:

Product Description:
IN THE YEAR 2032, PSYCHOPATHIC CRIMINAL SIMON PHOENIX IS THAWED FROM A CRYOGENIC STATE FOR A PAROLE HEARING. BUT HE ESCAPES AND BEGINS A RAMPAGE THROUGH THE PEACEFUL CITY OF SAN ANGELES. ONLY JOHN SPARTAN A '90S KIND OF COP, CAN BE THAWED TO FACE PHOENIX, A '90S KIND OF CRIMINAL.

Amazon.com:
Searching for new directions, Sylvester Stallone starred in this farcical, 1993 SF piece about an ex-cop (Stallone) freed from 36 years of forced hibernation to help catch a criminal (Wesley Snipes) who released himself from a similar incarceration. The futuristic story finds Los Angeles a sea of Taco Bells and enforced peace, and within that satiric overview Stallone's character becomes a gun-toting fish out of water. The film plays like a live-action cartoon, and while there is nothing particularly wrong with that, Demolition Man is a rather flat experience. The irony of a peaceable society that both requires and despises its bloody saviors has been captured far more profoundly in movies like Dirty Harry. Sandra Bullock costars. The DVD release has optional full-screen and widescreen presentations, production notes, theatrical trailer, Dolby sound, optional Spanish soundtrack, and optional French and Spanish subtitles. --Tom Keogh

Demolition Man 4 out of 5 stars
This is a great movie with plenty of action and enough comic relief to keep it from being too dark. The DVD itself however is a mess. I have been through several copies over the years and they all have the same problem. The layout of the disk defaults to playing the movie with director's commentary on and the setup menu has no effect at all. You have to have a button on your remote that toggles audio after movie starts. I have four players and only one has this feature.
