How this? You only need img code.



That looks very Christmassy. Dredd authorises weather control's annual festive 30 second flurry of snow.

Fisticuffs

Wasn't there a really poor review of the film in which the reviewer said that the scene above was Dredd waving as he fell backwards out of a window? :D

I particularly like the way he waves in an embarrassed manner, as though he's just been caught doing something naughty.  "Er, hello ... um, creep!"

I would also be interested to hear more from Mommyclubber!

I am sure it has been said before but ignoring the budgetary limitations, if Dredd had provided more of a typical futuristic MC1 that was in-line with the '95 film then I suspect it would have done a heck of a lot better in the US.  Given you can't do much to please these folks who think a movie has to have some overbearing plot, like Dark Knight Rises, but it would have got more bums on seats and given us a better chance of a sequel.

Oh, yawn - these two opposing, but equally wrongheaded arguments again:

A) Dredd has 'no plot' and 'no character development'.

and

B) But that doesn't matter because it's an action movie and guns and blood and explosions AWSUMZZZ!11!.

I guess subtlety and minimalism is a lost art nowadays, and I guess people like the plonker on the left expect every single genre movie to be 3.5 hours long, have a cast of 100 named characters and a plot so labyrinthine and intricate as to be so confusing you need to read up on it afterwards to begin to reconcile all the dangling plot-threads and leaps in logic.

Neither is it a brainless, shoot 'em up gore-fest. That viewpoint is equally reactionary, and equally wrong. It's actually not a particularly violent or action-heavy movie, and is far more cleverly written than pretty much any recent superhero or genre movie you could mention. It also has some beautiful photography that border on arthouse cinema.

Sorry, know I'm going over old ground, but that video just distills every moronic, point-missing review I've ever read/seen/heard of the film.

Oh damn, it was a dream :(

It was a scene of black background, then Urban's Dredd walking in, said nothing, then camera on his behind as he walk into doorway into dark room.... then flashes and heavy gun shots... then DREDD 2 title blow up!


Nice dream... :(

Not sure this is the right thread but.. A few months ago I saw a Die Antwoord video in which the building that doubled as the base and stairs of HOJ appeared. So what.

Just now watching this video I see Die Antwoord standing in the plaza that is the basis of Peach Trees (12:54). http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cgRUlVZbpcg

Again, so what. Only this picture was taken years ago AND when the band were known as 'Max Normal' or 'Max Normal TV'...and I think before Dredd was shot. There are also two scenes earlier in this doc that look strikingly similar to the road and underpass where Dredd takes out the slo-mo haulers at the start of the film.

They are clearly fans of 2000AD. But if they had advance knowledge of the set locations...or if it's just a coincidence, no sure.

Die Antwoord will soon be shooting Chappie about a domestic droid...with Neill Blomkamp.
Watch out for shades of Walter.

Just wanted to share that as trivia...although it may just be trivial.

Any excuse to get Die Antwoord mentioned is good enough for me!

Glad you liked that...going out on a limb here. But 'Ninja' was 'Max Normal'....was there not a Jolanda or Yolandi in one of the stories? Forget the title, but illustrated by Cam Kennedy, she had an affair with a Judge, some creeps find out...blackmail follows...I know, it's not Yolandi...still.

Judge Sladek's bit on the side was Yolanda.
