Maybe that bit did go over my head. I always thought she was about so say 'anger'. The frustration and rage of Dredd that bubbles beneath the service of control and discipline.

As a kid, the joke about a wrestler called The Undertaker having a manger called Paul Bearer went over my head for a long time.

No, she actually does say 'anger' before anything else.  Whatever it is she's about to say remains a mystery.

A penchant for Taffeta Ballgowns! Looks like both Dredd films borrowed something from the A.B.C Warriors.

Doubt.

But if course it's the unspoken mystery that makes the whole thing work.

1 thing I never quite understood.

In the Terra-meks, what is the NOGEEEE that Fantas-tek is shouting all about? Was it just meaningless shouting?

This is so embarrassing.

FLO RIDA....it's F-L-O-R-I-D-A isn't it? I get up but my brain doesn't.

:D and when discussing the relative merits of assorted rapping men, one might debate their lyrical flow. The ability to ride said flow for a sustained period would be considered an asset.

I'm not sure that I ever twigged that Dredds apartment Rowdy Yates and Clint were so inextricably linked... but then I am getting old... but not that old for Rawhide it seems...  ::)

Strange; I was just reading about the Rowdy Yates thing on the imdb page for Dredd 3d before you posted that - never really made the connection that it was because Clint Eastwood had an influence on Dredd's character. 
Of course, Rico lives there now, doesn't he?  No more baths for Joe.

Woops! That's what I meant. :)

Just realised on a re-read of some old progs that there's pretty much always been a little bit of cheesecake-ish titillation in 2000ad - it was kind of part of the 'don't-show-your-parents' deal along with the violence.  What made me think about that was how they used a photo of Sybil Danning as Saint Exmin from Battle Beyond the Stars to illustrate one of Ro-Jaws' old film columns - sweet Jesus.  If Valkyries had actually been in any way sexy, it would have looked like this.
