Product Description LA cop John Spartan (Sylvester Stallone), nicknamed 'Demolition Man' due to his hands-on approach to law enforcement, is condemned to 70 years in the penal freezer after being set up by Simon Phoenix (Wesley Snipes), Public Enemy Number One. Halfway through his sentence, however, both he and Phoenix are catapulted out of captivity, discovering their city has been transformed into a peaceful utopia, under the benevolent rule of mayor Dr Cocteau (Nigel Hawthorne). As a mysteriously pumped-up Phoenix carries on where he had left off 35 years earlier, Spartan teams up with a comparatively feisty cop (Sandra Bullock) to bring him to justice and expose the man who is engineering the whole scenario. desertcart.co.uk Review 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 saviours has been captured far more profoundly in movies like Dirty Harry. Sandra Bullock costars. --Tom Keogh Review: Nice - Good movie Review: Good fun . - One of Mr Stallones better films . Combines a lion and comedy.

Blows the DVD... Away
The unmistakably 90s action/sci-fi cult classic arrives on Blu-ray to inspire us all with joy joy feelings! I last saw 'Demolition Man' on a VHS recorded off TV. So to say I was impressed by the Blu-ray would be an understatement. Warner Bros have clearly put some effort into this transfer, as it's one of the best catalogue releases I've seen. Firstly, I did not pick up on any digital noise reduction. There's a VERY fine layer of grain covering the image throughout, lending a nice and filmic quality to the picture. Close-ups display an excellent amount of facial detail, especially on Stallone and Snipes, but even on the smooth-faced citizens of San Angeles (a futuristic makeup choice, or so I am led to believe). While there are more than a few soft shots here and there, the overall level of quality is pin-sharp. You might just be able to make out the small print on that 'Lethal Weapon 3' poster in Huxley's office. I also did not detect any edge enhancement; and even if there is some then it must be barely noticeable. Black levels also appear well resolved, with plenty of clear shadow detail. My only real boggle with the picture quality would be its skin tones. For most of the film, everyone appears overly tanned (orange, even). But I'm not sure if this is more to do with the source material than it is a fault with the Blu-ray transfer, so I may be fretting over nothing. Otherwise, colours are strong throughout. 'Demolition Man's' DTS-HD 5.1 audio track doesn't disappoint either. Elliot Goldenthal's score benefits appropriately, while the various sonic qualities appear to be correctly balanced. Gunshots and explosions pack an audible punch, hand-to-hand combat sequences are satisfyingly meaty and dialogue is perfectly clear (or, in the case of Stallone, as clear as it can be). Nothing is lost in the overall mix. As for extras, Warner Bros weren't quite as generous in this department. All that's included is the original theatrical trailer and a director/producer commentary ported over from the DVD which is sadly lacking the presence of the movie's stars. I'd love it if Stallone and Snipes got together to record a commentary one day, but I won't get my hopes too high. Just to clarify, I should point out that this UK Blu-ray is indeed uncut, and features the original Taco Bell print. Verdict The film is nothing short of entertaining, and the high definition transfer is exceptionally strong for a release of this calibre. If you're an action fan, and unless extra features are a deal breaker for you, then this Blu-ray is highly recommended.

DM: EXPLOSIVE STALLONE THRILLER!
Explosive Stallone thriller. It is one of Sylvester Stallone's greatest action films from the 1990s with catchy dialogue and humourous scenes. The action scenes are cleverly choreographed with impressive explosions. It is clever in its depiction of the future and is somewhat accurate, although reality is slightly less advanced. There are electric cars and a peaceful society. Goldenthal's score is very orchestral. The plot follows the story of John Spartan, a policeman who is resurrected to catch killer Simon Phoenix in a future Los Angeles now called San Angeles.

le film est toujours aussi bon malgré un menu dvd inexistant, livraison rapide sans encombres par contre si vous n'êtes pas cinéphile et que vous le commandez en Angleterre pour faire des économies vous serrez déçu car le français n'est pas en option, c'est anglais ou rien.

La película no está en castellano, sino en español latino. La compré porque según las características decía que estaba en español pero no especificaban latino. Tras hablar un par de email con la empresa todo ha salido bien. Por lo demás buena peli y buen trato.

Buon giorno a tutti, vorrei acquistare questo film da tempo, ma leggendo la scheda tecnica mi accorgo che l'audio e' in inglese, cé questo film in audio italiano su amazon?
