Absolutely agreed, Troll; and how great did she look in that tight police uniform of "the future"?
I always wanted to replace the original Warner snapper case flipper DVD of this title with the Blu-ray, but never got around to it...to be honest, the widescreen side of the disc upscales really nicely by the players I've had over the years (the Panasonic DMP-BD10A, Oppo BDP-83, now the Cambridge Audio CXUHD) even though almost everyone who comments about the DVD vs. BD quality talks about how the DVD was "completely unwatchable." That HASN'T been my experience, at all; perhaps my gear, particularly now, is just better at presenting DVD content compared to what most folks are using?
At any rate, the Region 1/A Blu-ray is the same stripped-down affair, in terms of extras, as the DVD version, so unless Warner decides to revisit this in UHD BD/4K (not likely any time soon) I will probably continue watching my trusty ole DVD.
BTW...just for some sh*tes and giggles, here's some mindless trivia about
Demolition Man you may not be aware of:
- The voice of the computer system throughout the film -- "L7" -- is the voice of Adrienne Barbeau, the actress from
Swamp Thing, The Fog, Escape From New York, et al.
- The sequence in which Snipes begins repeating the warden's speech in an alternate language -- after his Simon Phoenix character is thawed out in the beginning -- was based on a moment during Snipes' rehearsals when he started speaking his lines in Spanish as a goof...director Brambilla and others thought it was funny, and this morphed into that scene in the film.
- Bullock looked at Stallone as a sort of "big brother" during the filming.
- Millions of dollars worth of General Motors prototype cars for the future were used in the film, and you can see so many examples throughout...cars that eventually became models we saw on the roads after 1993, such as the Pontiac Firebird (the body style GM last put out before the model was cancelled) and a few different Cadillacs.
- The fight sequences for the film were supposed to be a little "cartoonish," according to Brambilla, which is why there is some odd, comical-esque score accompanying them.
- There are a plethora of deleted scenes that diehard fans always wanted to see, but haven't surfaced on any edition of the film on disc; these include a hand-to-hand fight between Stallone's Spartan character and Jesse Ventura's character, the murder of Zachary Lamb, the helicopter pilot from the opening scene who eventually grows old and meets up with Spartan later on, by the hands of Phoenix, and sequences involving Spartan's daughter (she was originally part of the script, which is why she's referred to so much in the film, but it was ultimately decided that she'd be left out).
