What could be better than a Rob Schneider cameo? Surely it's not too late for Rebellion to suggest this?
If you had 1 minute of Schneider in the film, what do you think should happen to his character? What other cameos might make the film even better?
Sorry If to reply. why Rob Schneider???
you naughty boy!
One minute is 59 seconds too long. It only takes a second for a second rate bit part actor playing Second Hapless Passerby in Background to get shot in the head.
Throat cut (So he can't shpeel shit) and to die slowly in agonising pain. Ma Ma's first screen victim

Scheider should be Judge Death in the after-credits. He should appear in an alley, take his helmet off, make a joke about his penis and wink at the camera.

Oh, what, suddenly we cant edit anymore? When i've been happily editing my posts all day? "ShNeider", not 'scheider', obviously.

Gets hit by the perps' speeding vehicle in the first second, lifeless and increasingly battered and torn body dragged along for the next 59. Not sure if this would make the film better, but it would be poetic justice.
Simon Pegg should have a cameo as he's a huge Dredd fan and actually can act.
Stan Lee?

He's a
Star trek fan too...didn't do him any favours.
A Dianne Lane cameo would be fine .. don't even know any other films that phoney version of Fergee was in .
Very naughty Duds, but on topic it would have been great to have Ian Dury pop up again.
Um... He's been dead for eleven years!
That's why it'd be great...
Ag- meant to say I knew he was dead, but if he wasn't, it would have been great!
Curse my fingers...
NOT. A. F()CK!!
He wouldn't have survived the SA crew. They would've dragged him round the back of the studios to give him a right proper shoeing for just being so God-awfully annoying..

In that case, sign him up for the sequel!
Oddly, I didn't mind him in the 95 film, although I can see why many would. He is meant to be an annoying character, but I didn't think any more so than many standard citizens of Mega-city one who actually appear in the comic. That being said, I'm not acquainted with the character he was actually meant to be portraying, who I understand was different in the comic.
My main annoyance (and it's mainly in hindsight, as I watched the film before becoming acquainted with the comic) was Stallone cheesing it up later. I find that campy stuff more amusing than annoying, but watching it again after reading the comics, I felt more irritated as I saw just how far off he is.
Ian Dury for Judge Death in the sequel. "The crime issss life, the sssentence is to be hit with a rythm stick".

As far as Schnieder's character goes, I'm not too fussed about the dissimilarities from the comic. Why should Schnieder's Herman Ferguson, aka Fergie be anything like Fergee, King of the Big Smelly? The former is a small-time crook, recently released from the cubes and the other is a big, dumb, heroic undercity dweller who saved the city. Similar names, but clearly different characters.
On the other hand, Stallone's "Joseph Dredd" bears little or no resemblance to the Joe Dredd of the comics. I know which one I was more annoyed about...

The character is credited as Herman '
Fergee' Ferguson in the film not '
Fergie' so going by your logic why really should he be called 'Fergee' in the first place, why not call him
Cunty McCuntish if he's
supposed to represent a different character, not helped by the notion that part of the story is a riff on
the Day the Law Died?
Let's face it, it's a silly film
produced by silly people. We shouldn't need to defend it. It did no one any good to any true degree.
I liked Schneider more than Stallone in that film.
I remember being in the cinema (luckily I had not paid - Daily Star freebie ticket) and for 5 minutes was all, like, 'YES!!!' - I had liked Stallone in Demolition Man and Cliffhanger so it seemed he was on an up...
Then everything fell to bits. Scneider funnily enough never really irritated me, and I lol-ed when he called Stallone 'Mr. "I AM THE LEUUURGGHHH"'... and for years I tried looking on the bright side - nice designs apart from the uniform, Hammerstein looked great, as did Mean Angel. Er... Ian Dury was in it. I liked most of the music...
I mean - I don't want to see that Schneider character back, but I don't wish the man any harm and I'm not convinced he was that much of a problem...
Then again, I don't think I have re-watched the movie in full since 1995. I could well be mistaken.
Why i know what to do with "fergie" (blasphemer!) firstly we have dredd use him as a human shield from mama (thereby being ma's first onscreen kill) then have his still twiching body fed through the patented"Pa Angel Mk1 super-scream torture machine" as described in destinys angel for the rest of the minute that scummy egg suckers on screen for..........wholesome family entertainment.
i was thinking more of a STANDARD EXECUTION, for crimes against the MEG(azine and 2000ad), no need to elborate, we merely have him knelt on the floor, lawgiver to the back of the head,rain falling heavily, bouncing off dredds helmet, then a single shot, dredd calling it in, and stating justice has been served. cut to dredd on his lawmaster and riding off as the meat wagon arrives.
THATS WORTH A MINUTE OF SCREEN TIME.
they should have let him die like in the original script which was echoed in the ezquerra adaptation (poor fella must ve needed the money ;))
They shouldn't have made the film. Full. Stop.
