Spoilers of course if you haven't seen it.
- The fatty (complete with unicycle for belly) dead at the beginning
- A hotty stand
- graffitti that said Chopper.
- The fact that there were only two hi ex rounds
- exploding lawgiver
Did you notice any other cool references to the world of Dredd kicking around? I'm not very good with that kind of subtle detail stuff.
I must have missed the dead fatty, saw the one sat in his room in Peach Trees though. :D
The "Kenny Who?" graffiti when it pans back on a shot of the multiple levels.
THere's an Umpties candy machine on a stairwell..
[spoiler]Otto Sump store![/spoiler] Didn't catch the full name of the store but that was enough to grin me up and I did enjoy the [spoiler]cautionary Fatty[/spoiler] later on in Peach Trees, while I scoffed my chocolate. Perfect timing!
Was kicking myself for blinking just after the [spoiler]Dredd-tracked-by-his-voice-kills-the-creeps-with-mucho-flamo[/spoiler] moment because I just know that big sign (advert? film poster?) on the screen that I didn't refocus on in time has something on it for the Blu-Ray pause treatment! Dang!
Oh, and [spoiler]Judge Volt![/spoiler]
There's a blink-and-you'll-miss-it appearence by Hershey - or at least her name - on a computer screen at the start of the movie.
Oh man, I missed so many! Where was Judge Volt?

He was one of the two Judges outside the block.HUGE GUY!
Can give a confirm on Volt and saw our very own Joe Soap's name and avatar near the start. Spotted the Kenny Who? and the Krysler movie poster. Of the blocks Sternhammer, O'neil and Tom Frame were the most readable.
Brief 'Shopera' illuminated sign. No phantom.
I kept having to tell myself to watch the action rather than scanning the background graffiti (that's for the DVD), so the only ones I really noticed were Ch :) pper and Kenny Who, plus the Hottie stand and a few block names - spotted Bolland in addition to the ones mentioned.
Saw the Shoppera sign and most of the other already mentioned ones, no Joe Soap or Goaty though!? Any pointers?
Oh well, second (or third??) time around I guess!
I saw the name 'Hicklenton' on a block, and let out an audible 'aw', which my buddy's girlfriend noticed, and I had to later explain.
A nice tribute to a unique artist.
The word DROKK painted on a leather jacket belonging to the perps in the van at the very start.

- The fact that there were only two hi ex rounds
Was that established in the comic somewhere?
Speaking of the gun, I noticed Dredd loading a clip into the grip/handle* rather than changing that chunky magazine at the front. I assume that's where the standard rounds are stored, and the chunky one is for the special things? (I'm not suggesting an error there by the way. I understand that's how the gun works - this is just an interesting thing that I noticed.)
[spoiler]Incidentally, I never quite saw the point of the Hot Shot round at the start, except as a cool (well okay, hot literally speaking) effect. He shot straight - wouldn't a standard round have done?
Of course this is mainly based ont he fact that I don't really know what a hot shot round does. Maybe it's a mixture of incendiary and heatseeker, except it homes in on a particular persons heat signature - i.e. Dredd wasn't risking hitting the hostage.[/spoiler]
*The bit you hold.
I suppose he used that round as any other may have hit bone and ricocheted off towards the hostage.
there was a 20 seconds to comply line which is from robocop which i took to be a ref to the original robocop using dredd lines.

I'd presumed that the shock effect of the burning will stop the perp from pulling the trigger. With a standard round he may still've had enough reflex to kill the hostage.
Oops -- darn this lack of edit function!
Presuming that plot stuff should be spoiler-tagged like Mardroid's, please could a mod obscure my response? Many thanks.

you have 20 seconds to comply is an ed209 line from robocop, seeing as its well known that robocop used a dredd line from a 2000ad cover id be suprised if that line turning up in dredd was a coincidence.
There was another movie poster by the Owen Krysler one, featuring a woman with a bald head. Did anyone get a good look at it, or figure out the reference?
Dirty Harry's "Do I feel lucky?" monologue gets riffed by Dredd at some point. Buggered if I can remember where or exactly what he says.
It was quick but im sure at the beginning during the riot the text said something about a Fergee memorial service.

In the Games Workshop RPG, the Hi-Ex round was an 'extra' piece that was placed on top of a standard shell before firing, so when you ran out of standard rounds, you couldn't use Hi-Ex either. Maybe this is the same?

I loved that little detail. A particularly fine example of how much thought and care was put into the film.
Regarding the stun rounds, am I right in thinking they first showed up in (the Wagner scripted?) Judge Dredd:Lawman of the Future?

Think rifle grenades.. Also, I figured the rounds would also be able to fired electrically, but at the expense of using up a small amount of their own charge to act as propellant.

We did have extra mags for those, and the gun had a functioning release mechanism for them, but it never made the final cut. And yes, that was the specialist round magazine.

In the early days of 2000AD Ian Gibson did a cut-away drawing of the Lawgiver Mk1 in which it was the Heatseeker that was an 'extra' piece (Three stored in the glove pouch) propelled by a GP shell. Though in the strip, Dredd merely selected 6 on the manual selector.
Michaelvk, was the ricochet round ever included in the brief for the Lawgiver? Also, was the large weapon carried by Judge Alvarez ever named? (It looked as if it could have been a 'Widomaker' from the comics)

No and no.. Alvarez' weapon was merely referred to as a big gun.. Was going to be belt fed at one point, but that got dropped.. My colleague Jason Human did that one.

Was there a Judge Death reference...I didn't see it?
I remember in the leaked script there was a Death tattoo on someone's neck in the scene where Kay is arrested, I looked out for it but didn't see it. Probably dropped.
Moi?
Judge Griffin's name is on one of the video screens.
I thought I saw a block called Stallone Towers but then later on saw Atlantic Towers so I may be wrong on this.
I think the movie poster referencing the Judge Child was for a movie called Kryslers Mark. I think it also had a directors name on it and it may have been Sternhammer. Again I could be wrong on this as it wasn't visible for long. There was definitely a Sternhammer block.
I assume spoilers are ok here, given it's "just saw the movie" ;)
Just remembered spotting that when the graphic came up for the different crime "options", Judge Hershey was noted as responding to one of them.
Here's a little tidbit. The little character hanging from the rear view mirror of the van was a little Judge Death, albeit a stylized cartoonish one. Kerry von Lillienfeld, our props master, is a massive, massive 2000AD fan (he had 2 huge boxes full under his desk at all times), and he insisted on it..
Henry Flint's signature graffitied on a wall. A Sump afficianado in the crowd round the bodies at the beginning.
Joe Soap's avatar in full colour, nice.
I suppose this then inadvertedley gives a nod to Alan Moore and Dave Gibbons.

Thanks. I was kind've in awe the first time round so wasn't really paying attention to the detail. I loved Dredd's 'wiped out' comment though. So matter of fact.
I liked that when contacting Justice HQ, Dredd would always tell them how many bodies there were for Resyk. It was hardly a hidden reference since he said it at least twice, but I appreciated it!
The Hershey reference says:
RIOT IN PROGRESS:
JUDGE HERSHEY RESPONDING
or something very similar.
I fucking love this movie, a friend I was with at the screening last night, who is a casual Dredd fan (he's recently read the first 6 case files) said the movie was a 'solid 8/10', but agreed that it's one that's going to really stand up to repeated viewings, not just because of all the little references and background details, but because the script is so tight and has lots of repeated motifs and callbacks.
The "Krysler's Mark" poster has "directed by Ulf S......?" a scandinavian name above the title
quick search at imdb, turns up Ulf Suhrmuller, art runner and model maker on DREDD 3D
http://www.imdb.com/name/nm3717658/
I've seen these in very high res trailers and clips, though couldn't make them out in the 3D film:
At the beginning when the cam drone flys past Sternhammer block, Gibson Block is dead ahead.
After we first see the Comm Centre, Dredd pursues the van and there's a Smith Block behind him.
At the end, when the blast door opens, the block on the far right is Kennedy.

Ahhh......interesting. That makes sense. During the very brief glimpse my 2000AD addled brain saw it as Sternhammer. I did think it would be odd if that was the case as there is a Sternhammer block and I didn't think they would use the name twice.
When I saw it again on Sunday I paid more attention to the badges of the two Judges who initially turn up at Peach Trees in response to Dredd's distress call.
One is Volt (which we already knew) and the other one, I'm pretty sure, is Guthrie.
Quote from: Lee Bates on 10 September, 2012, 08:49:05 PM
...and the other one, I'm pretty sure, is Guthrie.
That rings a bell.. You may be correct..
Slightly off topic, but l've got hold of a full size poster of Dredd standing at the top of the block and noticed a couple of things in the grafitti below.
Next to the humping zebras (yes they are there), it says T.C Kid (a tragic typo should be T.S ;)), but the reason for the post -on the other side it says 'Hope is Your...unreadable' (unless soemone has better eyesight), but directly below is Dredd so..maybe that was the message.
Off to read some tealeaves now ;) :D

It's your nick-name: 'The Charmin' Kid'!!!*
*
may not actually be true
In the van chase, there are two people standing against a wall as Dredd speeds past.
There was something prominent about the composition and one had the air of Wagner about him. It's after the perp begins firing, and straight after the shot of the wing mirror... I think.
(If it turns out to be someone else who looks like a bent copper, then in my defence it is a fleeting shot.)
second viewing, didn't see many more. Still haven't seen Goaty (apart from the goat-head graffiti), but that Joe Soap billboard is bloody amazing. Saw Hershey this time around, and Michael Vee Kay. Can't believe I completely missed the dead fatty first time! Think I was too busy trying to read the shop signs.

I read it as "Uwe Schumacher" and though it might be a little jibe at two Hollywood directors.
When the perps' rap sheets are flashed up in the opening chase sequence the names "Judge McGruder" and "Judge Griffin" are in the top right of two. I think they're the arresting officers.
So we have Griffin, McGruder, Volt and Hershey.
Any more spots on previous Chief Judges?

Ok, just come back from my 4th viewing, noticed pretty much all except -where is Goaty besides falling Ma-ma shot ,he's in more than once isn't he, where is radiator and where precisely is Joe Soap billboard (I know ,should have gone to specsavers).Many thanks

Alex mentioned to me that I got three...!
my first was at the start when at the top of the block, as one prisoner gave a Slo-Mo drug, the drug inhaler fell down the block, it's on top right, only for 5 seconds!!!
Quote from: The Sherman Kid on 11 September, 2012, 08:22:33 PM

Still not seen radiator, but Joe Soap's billboard is in the bike-chase scene - to the right when looking backwards
Just saw Joe Soap's tonight. Cool!
I think I've seen mine - its in the POV shot of the guys being dosed with Slo mo and tossed over the balcony. It's in graffiti style though so is hard to read, especially with the camera movement.
It'll be a freeze frame job to tell for sure.
Maybe yours is just a radiator? :D
Noticed another amongst our number on my second viewing. Can't quite remember but it was some kind of TV advertising thing near the start, 'sponsored by Commando Forces'!

Me too. Made me proud to be part of the hivemind - also nice to see in the Megazine that Alex Garland had been reading the forum in detail while writing Dredd.
Heh. Yeah, I thought of Edmund when I spotted that guy.
The stuff that I did seen...
Sternhammer Block
O'Neill Block
Sure I saw an Ezquerra Block
Hicklenton Block
didn't spot Bolland or Kennedy but there were a few blocks in the distance I didn't read before the camera panned away.
We've got to get a full list together.
Chopper graffiti gave me a big stupid smile as did Kenny Who?.
This very forum gets a Thank You at the very end of the credits.
Perps, Juves, Meat Wagons, and Resyk get a name check in the script so they're not exactly hanging around in the background.
What's the story with the special ammo in the Lawgiver? By my count there was 1x Hotshot?, 2x HiEx, 1x Incendiary, and 2x Armour Piercing. Is that correct? Then a couple of clips of Standard Execution.
Did they refer to the gas grenades as Stumm, or just plain old 'gas'?
Bollocks, I was watching all the credits looking for that at the last showing, until I was disturbed by the staff cleaning up. That means I need to go again, what a bugger :lol:
Ha, I was mistaken for staff while hanging about for so long at the end of the movie.
There were *a lot* of people on the credits. Many doing special effecty things I had no idea even existed...
On first and second viewings I noticed:
• Two Goaty's. Weirdly I missed the main one in second viewing. Seemed so obvious in first viewing.
• Chopper
• Did I see Flint graffiti following the Cathy caper?
• Joe Soap. What a great one.
• Fatty and belly wheel which I missed first time
• First viewing I spotted the name Krysler and I was thinking: is that supposed to be significant? Didn't click.
In credits:
• Thanks to the 2000AD forum – that made my day as I felt part of that
• 2000AD and Starlord (I didn't imagine the latter did I?)
• Judge Minty
See, being a real fan I stayed to watch all of the credits at my second viewing. When I was with the forum mob they scarpered out just like Joe public cinema goers.
I had to go on patrol at that one ;)
Al wait till the dvd come,s out to see those mentioned,i was to busy watching all the action to notice :lol:

First one of course is when the slo-mo inhaler drops – the one in your animated gif.
Pretty sure the second one is when the camera moves down vertically showing different levels of the block internally and there is a Goaty scrawl on a wall.
There's a Mom 'n' Pop's store in Peach Trees too. Think that was in the strip once, or is it a real chainstore? Probably the former; it's hardly good advertising.

Ah, I see.
Did anyone get a close look at the world map in the class room where Dredd "interrogates" Kay.
I thought I saw what looked to be Brasilia in the South American continent and possibly Cuidad Barranquilla as well.
Will someone else confirm this please.
Yep, I definitely saw Cuidad Baranquila there. It reminded me very much of the world map that was printed in the Megazine around the time of Pan African Judges that I had on my bedroom wall for a while.
Eight viewing today, early evening viewing ,attendence headcount score 42.
Still picking up new stuff- the Hottie Sign as Dredd enters first block says 'Over there punk!', nice.
A shot of a very very long corridor just before they burst into Kathys apartment I'm pretty sure has the same score from that total classic Forbidden Planet, when you long down into the depths of the huge Krell machine (very cool touch if I'm right)
PS -Some folk were applauding when the Dredd certificate came up right before the start -sweet!
Jeez, eighth! You're way ahead of me - going for my seventh tonight.
What stuff did you notice on the kids skate ramp? I saw the Fatties reference, but are there more?
did anyone see the mcmahon block ref? when you see when you see justice central. its in the reflection on the building.
plus since i live in shrewsbury i walk past the peach trees all the time.
im also pretty sure the meeting between the film people took place in june last year. cause john wagner appeared at the comic shop in shrewsbury on the saturday. he left fairly early cause he had 'other things to do'. i just thought he got fed up doing nothing but listen to me being a fan boy. when charlie adlard's queue was out the door. looking back now surely thats the case.
Thanks everyone for chiming in on this thread. It will be a joy to go again when the movie comes out officially in Toronto tomorrow and watch for all the easter eggs.
As part of my ongoing mission to hype the shit out of this movie in North America I made a top 10 easter eggs article for my work. I included a lot of information from this thread, so thanks very much.
God I hope it does well in Canada, I know I'll be going a good dozen times! Anyways, here's the article, feel free to rip it apart if there are any inaccuracies and I will fix it.

As part of my ongoing mission to hype the shit out of this movie in North America I made a top 10 easter eggs article for my work. I included a lot of information from this thread, so thanks very much.
God I hope it does well in Canada, I know I'll be going a good dozen times! Anyways, here's the article, feel free to rip it apart if there are any inaccuracies and I will fix it.

Nice work marcus.Corrections (as far as I can tell), Ezquerra mis-spelt, not seen IanGibson or Cam Kennedy blocks (*they may be there be I've not seen them), there definately is a Kevin O'Neill block and a John Hickleton blocks (surames just used), besides them ,excellent site mate.

Jeez, eighth! You're way ahead of me - going for my seventh tonight.
What stuff did you notice on the kids skate ramp? I saw the Fatties reference, but are there more?
Hi Shaolin. The skate ramp...'Crime Pays' was there ,another Chooper refence with the big smiley?
Travelled to Nottingham with work today, stopped off at Sheffield Meadowhall for a meal on the way back.........there was a cinema there..........I easily succumed and saw it for the ninth time.Glad I did, it had the best sound system I've heard, headcount was only twenty two but you could tell there were poper Dredd fans there from the pre-film chatter.Way I see it,it may be the only time we get to see the proper Dredd on the big screen so screw the bank balance.
EDIT-poper :lol:, proper Dredd fans
My Goaty count is up to two..
First one is top right hand corner, POV shot of guys going over the edge. Second is lower third, dead center, huge white letter graffiti, when the gatlings are pouring tracer fire across the block..
Cheers for last night, MVK - it was cool. It was like having the DVD commentary whispered into my ear all the way through the film. ;) Did you get a buzz seeing your name up on the big screen again?
I'd noticed the sweet dispenser before, but hadn't realised it was for Umpty Candy! That was cool. Also seeing two Goaty's was great. I'm still missing the Joe Soap though?
Well done, Monkey!
What / where was 2nd Goaty? Still try to find it!

It's where MVK said it was - he pointed it out to me last night, although I caught the briefest split second glimpse of it:

The third I have seen on the pre-release photos, but can't place where in the film it is. Is it the stairs/gas grenade section?
Awesome! Thanks Monkey!

I thought that was Umpty Candy reference ,but wasn't sure, excellent.
Joe Soap-When the pursuit of the perps in the van comes off at the carriageway exit ramp ,look up, big billboard sign there.I missed it too at first.

Yeah, Umpty Candy was written down the left hand side of the machine.. Unfortunately that was the bit obscured by the staircase.
Tenth viewing yesterday, headcount score just 4, but it was an early evening show.This may be (well possibly ) my last viewing (but that could change) of Dredd (at any moment) :D
Still noticed two new things.
As Dredd enters Peach Trees and talk about the block ,it shows one guy sat (he has a tattooed face), above him it says 'really nice bar', where Mrs Gunderson just to hang out isn't it?
Peoyte King gang member arresting judge was Judge Silver.
Twelveth and final viewing, local cinema has pulled Dredd so end of a mini-era.Headcount 10
Amazingly noticed something new -the judge who arrested Ma-Ma was Judge Koburn ,only up for a second, but I think thats right.
There are actually 6 Chief Judges who get a mention.
Griffin -Arresting of van suspect
Hershey -Attending riot posted on controls screen.
Fransico -Arresting judge for Red Dragon member
Silver -Arresting Judge for Peyote King Member
McGruder -Arresting Judge for the Judged Member
Volt -Judge stood outside block with Guthrie.
I saw it for a second time this week and managed to spot Joe Soap and the dead fatty with the belly wheel that I missed first time around. I still haven't seen a single Goaty though.
I was looking out for the Judge Death hanging from the van's mirror during the chase scene but it was too blurry to make out, I saw Drokk on the back of the jacket in the same scene though.This second viewing had awesome sound but was slightly out of focus compared to the first time.
Did I spot "Judo" written on the wall just as Dredd and Anderson are walking into Peach trees after cautioning the vagrant?
One dodgy russian version later and this is best I could get. I don't think so, could be anything, but if true then I owe who evers respsonsible a pint ;) x

The four dirty Judges, wasn't one Volt. Wasn't there a Chief Judge Volt at one point.

One of the Judges waiting outside was called Volt.
