HE AM THE LAW!!!
It’s about time for another Bad Sci-Fi Theater post! This time around, I put up the choice of movies for a vote on Twitter, and low and behold they declared that I must watch the first Judge Dredd movie from 1995. This tour de force of entertainment features Sylvester Stallone and that thespian of thespians who brought us not only Deuce Bigalo: Male Gigolo, but ALSO its sequel: Rob Schneider! (Okay, so I admit I laughed at the “Makin’ Copies” sketches on SNL back in the day, but I really can’t stand the guy. So thanks, Twitter. I owe ya one. 😉
So hey, here we go!

Let us go back to 1995, before they knew how to make comic book movies!
Hey, that’s JAMES EARL JONES DOING VOICE-OVER!#BSFT

You know, if this whole movie were just a book read by James Earl Jones, I’d love that. #JudgeDredd 😀#BSFT

They’re Judge Judy and executioner all in one!#BSFT
— Michael G. Munz (@TheWriteMunz) November 19, 2016
Wait, Joan Chen is in this?! Josie Packard from Twin Peaks? Cool.
AND Jurgen Prochow? It’s a David Lynch reunion.#BSFT— Michael G. Munz (@TheWriteMunz) November 19, 2016
You know it’s a quality flick when it opens on Rob Schneider.#BSFT
— Michael G. Munz (@TheWriteMunz) November 19, 2016
Max Von Sydow also?
Hey, Judge Dredd may be better than I anticipated! But this is supposed to be BAD Sci-Fi Theater!@ScifiCommons #BSFT— Michael G. Munz (@TheWriteMunz) November 19, 2016
“Eat recycled food for a happier & healthier life! It’s good for the environment! & OK for you.”
I bet it’s greener than Soylent Green!#BSFT— Michael G. Munz (@TheWriteMunz) November 19, 2016
These people are all terribly violent and should be ashamed of themselves. Use your automatic weapons for LOVE citizens, not hate!#BSFT

Ooh, automatic kickstand for the bike! This IS the future!#BSFT

(I’m going to drink each time he says that.)#BSFT— Michael G. Munz (@TheWriteMunz) November 19, 2016
Leader of the baddies here seems to be played by the same guy who played Cephalo in #ChroniclesofShannara.
He’s younger here.#BSFT— Michael G. Munz (@TheWriteMunz) November 19, 2016
I like how Coors is displayed across the top of the recycled food vendor bot. 😀#BSFT
— Michael G. Munz (@TheWriteMunz) November 19, 2016
Cephalo shot a redshirt. So now he ded. But now we have pathos for Hershey, so it’s all good. #BSFT

“Emotions. There oughta be a law against them.”
Then he’d never be arrested for his acting, would he?#BSFT— Michael G. Munz (@TheWriteMunz) November 19, 2016
Judge Jurgen Prochnow is here to save us from the Harkonnen! #BSFT
— Michael G. Munz (@TheWriteMunz) November 19, 2016
Judge Prochnow appears to be for oppression. Judge Von Sydow against.
So I’m betting Von Sydow will turn out to be evil. Because drama.#BSFT— Michael G. Munz (@TheWriteMunz) November 19, 2016
And Dredd takes off his helmet and angers millions of comic fans! 😀#BSFT

It’s the Aspen Penal Colony!
I bet everyone on the outside has penal envy.#BSFT— Michael G. Munz (@TheWriteMunz) November 19, 2016
So this guy’s apparently imprisoned by a force field-contained cell. No bars.
I’m sure that won’t lose power anytime ever.#BSFT— Michael G. Munz (@TheWriteMunz) November 19, 2016
…Or the warden will just open it up to give him a weapon. That works, too.#BadIdea#BSFT
— Michael G. Munz (@TheWriteMunz) November 19, 2016
So it’s either die on the job, or live long enough to be kicked out of the city to die in the desert.
Great recruitment speech.#BSFT— Michael G. Munz (@TheWriteMunz) November 19, 2016
‘Tis a very cyberpunk world, this Judge Dredd.
I mean, without the cyber-.#BSFT— Michael G. Munz (@TheWriteMunz) November 19, 2016
“We’re closed for the noight!”
So lock your freaking door, man!#BSFT— Michael G. Munz (@TheWriteMunz) November 19, 2016
Ex-Judge Rico (is that his name?) has got himself some Terminators.
Lookin’ a bit rusty, though. All cuddly and big and rusty.#BSFT— Michael G. Munz (@TheWriteMunz) November 19, 2016
Why do folks try to plead not guilty when the judge is also the arresting officer?
Methinks this justice system may have *gasp* flaws!#BSFT— Michael G. Munz (@TheWriteMunz) November 19, 2016
It’s possible that Judge Dredd MIGHT be being framed.#BSFT
— Michael G. Munz (@TheWriteMunz) November 19, 2016
HE AM THE LAW!!! *drinks*#BSFT
— Michael G. Munz (@TheWriteMunz) November 19, 2016
His first name is Joseph? JOE DREDD!#BSFT
— Michael G. Munz (@TheWriteMunz) November 19, 2016
Aww, Judge Van Sydow’s gonna walk his ass into the desert to get a wish. Come back, Mr. Good Actor! Come back!#BSFT
— Michael G. Munz (@TheWriteMunz) November 19, 2016
And Judge Von Sydow walks into the desert. He’ll pick up a stilsuit out there somewhere, I hope. #BSFT pic.twitter.com/i0vkaj3DkW
— Michael G. Munz (@TheWriteMunz) November 19, 2016
How did Rico sneak himself and a giant killer Terminator-bot into the head Judge’s office? Them things don’t look sneaky.#BSFT
— Michael G. Munz (@TheWriteMunz) November 19, 2016
Sir, it’s quite possible that ex-Judge Rico is not entirely stable.#BSFT
— Michael G. Munz (@TheWriteMunz) November 19, 2016
HOLY CARP IT’S HERSHEL FROM THE WALKING DEAD! 😀#JudgeDredd #BSFT

…except, he miiiiiiiight be just a little crazy.#BSFT

“I told you not to go in the barn, Dredd!”
Well, you know you’re famous when the wilderland mutant outcast weirdos have heard of you. #BSFT

Hey! Just because somebody’s a cannibal doesn’t mean they’re not good people!

Remember, kids: If you have a gun, never run toward someone who has a knife if they are actively trying to kill you.#BSFT

Yay! Judge Von Sydow is back! 😀#BSFT
— Michael G. Munz (@TheWriteMunz) November 19, 2016
…Aaaand now he’s dead.
Well screw you too, movie. 😛#BSFT— Michael G. Munz (@TheWriteMunz) November 19, 2016
If you start a genetic enhancement project to create the perfect judge, maybe don’t name it after Janus, a two-faced god.#BSFT
— Michael G. Munz (@TheWriteMunz) November 19, 2016
That’s like naming a ship the Icarus.
Or a make-up line after Medusa.#BSFT— Michael G. Munz (@TheWriteMunz) November 19, 2016
Yaay, it’s Joan Chen!
Now I wanna watch Twin Peaks again.#BSFT— Michael G. Munz (@TheWriteMunz) November 19, 2016
The IMDB trivia for Judge Dredd states that Schneider’s character is the comic relief.
If you have to state it…#BSFT— Michael G. Munz (@TheWriteMunz) November 19, 2016
…Why would you have a holographic billboard that CAN KILL PEOPLE?!
I mean that’s just bad PR waiting to happen right there, folks.#BSFT— Michael G. Munz (@TheWriteMunz) November 19, 2016
So, for the record, Dredd just killed dozens of cops just doing their jobs, then blew up an entire floor of an apartment building.#BSFT

Remember kids: Before attacking the bad guy w/ the giant killer robot, do NOT step CLOSER to said giant killer robot.#TheMoreYouKnow#BSFT

I just realized we’re almost at the climax of the movie. It snuck up on me.#BSFT

Rico is releasing the 60% complete Judge clones.
I’m sure that will go just fine and not be horrifying at all.#BSFT— Michael G. Munz (@TheWriteMunz) November 19, 2016
…except it seems the 60% complete clones just got 100% blown up before they could do much of anything, so…never mind.#BSFT
— Michael G. Munz (@TheWriteMunz) November 19, 2016
This movie has the best fist fight in the Statue of Liberty’s blown-open head that I’ve ever seen.#BSFT
— Michael G. Munz (@TheWriteMunz) November 19, 2016
Rico fell off’n the Statue of Liberty.
Diane Lane shot Joan Chen.
So everyone is safe. Except the city is still vastly under-staffed.#BSFT— Michael G. Munz (@TheWriteMunz) November 19, 2016
“Dredd? Dredd! That’s IT?”
Writers: “Yeah, we’re about done with this.”#BSFT— Michael G. Munz (@TheWriteMunz) November 19, 2016
