Dredd (2012)

[HOO-HAA]

Riddick's another one, though. Didn't Chronicles bomb at box office? And yet here we are, several years later, with a sequel...

Only after Riddick himself negotiated getting and owning the rights back from Universal by trading appearances in Fast & Furious films and then he put his house up as collateral to help fund it himself. Despite Chronicles... failure Pitch Black and the Riddick character all ready had an ok track-record before it and Diesel has an enormous world-wide following (58 million facebook followers) which helped convince Universal to agree to distribute the film for him.

Wow, I didn't know that. Fair play to him for going to those lengths. He must really believe in that character and franchise. And rightly so: I've thoroughly enjoyed all the Riddicks so far, including the animated stuff.

Read the WARNING before you click the link.

On Reddit today I saw this animated GIF:

It's some kind of soldier or rebel fighter (possibly Syrian) getting shot while firing his rifle. The thing is, the bullet goes right through his cheek, exactly like the headshot during the drug bust at the start of DREDD. Thought it might be of interest to some of you.

WARNING: It looks JUST LIKE the headshot during the drug bust, but it's real life. Don't click if you want to avoid seeing someone being shot.

Watched Dredd again last night, and once again thoroughly enjoyed it.

One thing that struck me was the sheer number of head shots.  I can't think of any other film that has so many!  Could it be that Dredd holds a world-record for most head shots in a single film?

Thanks. I haven't been on Liveleak for a while. He's gonna need a dentist for that missing tooth.

The Dredd version had a little more poetry to it, I think.

Dredd was mentioned in a Quora post about movies that feature real examples of computer hacking.

Watched it again on my new set up. Still a cracking good view and one of the best and most modestly priced Bd's on the market.

It's staggering that such a good film on 3D Blu Ray is selling for under a tenner, when the likes of Pacific Rimjob are retailing at £20 a pop!  I can't make any sense of it.

Because much as I love Dredd, Pacific Rim is a better film?
