Ahh, "Demolition Man." Now there was a '90s movie... and perfect fodder for the tanked-up lads of FilmDrunk.
Though it was exciting seeing a post-"Cliffhanger" Sylvester Stallone and a pre-jail Wesley Snipes duke it out in the futuristic dystopian utopia of San Angeles circa 2032, "Demolition Man" is most notable for its assortment of shoehorned-in '90s artifacts, including references to President Schwarzenegger, all restaurants being Taco Bell, theme song by Sting, and the "comedic" antics of Denis Leary.
Sure it was tacky, but the movie was also a tongue-in-cheek satire of PC culture and sci-fi in general, almost an anti-"Blade Runner." Perhaps the most memorable character was Snipes' peroxide-blonde baddie Simon Phoenix, whose overalls and hyper-giddiness make him seem like a "Little Rascal" with a gun.
As Sly's freshly unfrozen 20th century cop comes to terms with the brave new 21st century world, Phoenix causes chaos all...
