I'm hoping they don't put drokk/creeps etc in any potential future sequels. Very happy they didn't put it in now. Put it in graffiti, sure, but not said, just for the simple fact it sounds stupid. Even frak in BSG lingo is walking a fine line and I'm of the view it's walking on the wrong side of the line.

I'd like to hear a meathead.

I think jargon worked really well, the meatwagons, resyk, iso cube, juve cube.

I don't miss Drokk - but if you're going to go for that, you have to commit and not just throw it in once.

Even in the strip we've had fugging and freaking crop up instead of drokk.

Have no problem with Joe Cit being a sweary fucker but, with fifteen years' training, I sure as drokk expect a Judge to exert more self-control.
Not sure if pervert or cheesecake expert.

Couldn't give a Drokk about Drokk! But a Creep would be nice!  :D

Stomm, yeah :) Dredd without Creep is like Alpha without #4 or Anderson without psi; it's one of his trademarks. I can understand relegating Drokk to a jacket, but Creep is a normal insult in the real world, so no reason not to use it; if the reason was paring Dredd's dialog down, it could have been worked in just the once, like Drokk/Resyk/Cubes were, perhaps by having Anderson say it (i.e., rookie in stress loses her cool and swears at a perp). Don't remember the happy birthday bit, where was that?

I can't remember the last time Dredd said creep in the comic.

I don't think he's ever said "I am the Law" either.  :P

He has said creep just not lately and I am the Law was said it in the Cursed Earth.

I think he did say "beam me up Scotty" once though!

I stand corrected. I always thought Dredd would use the royal 'we' when referring to the Law. A modest, humble man is our Joe.

And building on this observation, it also has the female 'sidekick' character saving the life of the male lead.

On an unrelated Urban-themed note, did anybody else notice in the Star Trek movie that pretty much every main crewmember saved Kirk's life (or his bacon, at least) at some point?  Nice touch.
