There's a TV show being made from the same people who worked on it

@@Ghost-be8pb It was canned last year.

Gutted Man!!! Quality Film!!!

Hey, at least it didn't end on a cliffhanger or something, or try to set up a franchise. That would have sucked! Instead, it was content to just be a standalone thing, and thank goodness for that!

I was really looking forward to that HBO show that was in development, but then that got the shaft too

Honestly, I can't wait for that first trailer.... Man theyre probably filming episodes rn....

It never got a proper sequel because people didn't go see it. This movie, as good as it is, didn't recoup its budget

That's not a Hollywood problem. It made almost no money. That makes it an audience problem. Likely just released before its time

wait, what? tv series?

Who is dredd in it?

Matthew Terlaga probabaly why he passed Anderson

And he didn’t really react much to their threats, either.

I don't see how dredd isn't a hero. he's not Batman. the only way he has to deal with these monsters is a bullet. it's not like he's knocking off guys who put soda in a water cup

Smith Soda in a water cup? 1 week in the iso-cubes!

Dredd is like any BOPE cops in Brazil, they are moral, but they are also fighting a bloody fucking war, Ma-ma isn't moral just because she was abused once! She is like any "Alemão" that are sitting in the top of a favela, so yeah, i guess, that this ideia of a broken villain is new for you, but nobady in Brazil fall for "hearth breaking" storys of criminals, except those who have interest that criminals remain criminals! And neither do we fall for the crap that cops who kill are evil!

I love that he is the spirt of the law

It's his personal Sisyphean Task. He can't fix the world and will most certainly die trying. The world is *fucked*, along with every single person in it. Nothing he will ever do can make a meaningful difference. He KNOWS that, and tries anyways, because that's just who he is. He can't accept anything less. He'll do what's right no matter how many rules he has to bend or how many bullets he has to take. Because he's Dredd.

That's something I liked about this Dredd, instead of the comical Stallone interpretation.

Exactly, he's what the law should be, cold and impartial. But fair and just.​@@zanenevada7327

Excellent comment - and perfectly SPOT ON. Fully agree with you. Thank you for putting into words what I struggled with.

I think it is implied that she wears it when she is on her motorcycle in the beginning too.

Implying she would rather feel nothing to operate in a savage world that is Judge Dredd.

cause you get an bill for not bringing back the whole equipment. :D

She may have been taking Dredd's advice. "I think a bullet ... might interfere more."

It happens too often when our systems fail the victims. Not all victims become abusers but most abusers where also victims. We need systems to stop the cycle. And compassion for all people.

It’s how the cycle of abuse happens

NARCISSISTS are either the victim or the hero always God is the narcissistic psychopath CREATOR OF VICTIMS who are all races of people who are born into this shitty OVERPOPULATED world AGAINST OUR OWN GOD GIVEN FREE WILL CHOICE all in the name of Future Token Toby Kunta KinTAX payer whip cracking slavery. Living for God's so called Supernatural Devine plan IS SLAVERY WITHIN ITS SELF then there is TAX PAYER SLAVERY and the SLAVERIES OF PAYMENTS DUE. The meaning of shitty human life is all about SLAVERY for all races of people in the OVERPOPULATED USA 🇺🇸 and WHOLE OVERPOPULATED WORLD. THATS THE TRUTH THE WHOLE TRUTH AND NOTHING BUT THE TRUTH BOMB 💣 GO JANE'S REVENGE and HAIL SATAN !!! Because if everything really is GOD'S WILL and if GOD really is a SUPER EMPATH then no WOMEN would ever get pregnant and no VICTIMS would ever be born into this shitty OVERPOPULATED world AGAINST OUR OWN GOD GIVEN FREE WILL CHOICE all in the name of Future Token Toby Kunta KinTAX payer whip cracking SLAVERY. And people having to Abide by DA LAW could have all been easily avoided if the fucking brainwashed and delusional and selfish and sadistic and in greed we trust driven future token Toby Kunta KinTAX payer whip cracking slavery driver pro life anti abortion God freaks had just allowed the whole psycho and hypocrite and SINNER and in greed we trust driven uncivilized and stupid and NEEDY and Brainwashed human race animals CREATION to all remain at peace and true freedom while already living in the heaven of non self-awareness by allowing the whole psycho and hypocrite and SINNER and in greed we trust driven uncivilized and stupid and NEEDY and Brainwashed human race animals CREATION to all be SWALLOWED WADS OF CUM or ABORTIONS in the SHITTY OVERPOPULATED USA 🇺🇸 and WHOLE OVERPOPULATED WORLD. YEP people having to Abide by DA LAW could have all been easily avoided. THE TRUTH IS MY SWORD and THATS THE TRUTH THE WHOLE TRUTH AND NOTHING BUT THE TRUTH BOMB 💣 GO JANE'S REVENGE and in the name of the American first Amendment HAIL SATAN !!!

Wood Harris doesn't get enough credit for his role here either, his main role is to literally be dragged around by the other main characters, and his scenes with Anderson tend to portray a dynamic power balance that actually keeps the audience guessing who is in command.

@@frederalbacon It is hard to point to any single actor/actress - they all were excellent, and all added to such a great film.

They literally take a prisoner.

@@2nd3rd1st not for long

@@rianmacdonald9454 true

that's why they increased the price with mama lol

Because Dredd is one of the few people in Megacity 1 with an invincible moral code. He can't be bought, he can't be intimidated, he can't be blackmailed. He knows the world is fucked, along with every single person living in it. He knows nothing he could possibly do will meaningfully improve the world beyond keeping it spinning one more day. Yet he doesn't give up. He doesn't compromise. He fights for what's right, even if he has to bend the rules to do it, even if he has to DIE to do it. He can't accept anything less, because that's just who he is. Because he's Dredd.

Now that you mention it, that sounds familiar. Wasn't the trigger also set up to go off if her heartbeat got too fast as well? (Which it surely would when she started falling.)

Great point.

When you think about it judges are super badass medics essentially with the nifty little med kit they always have on hand.

Thing that bothered me about that was the possibility that the receiver could have been set to fail deadly if it lost the signal without being properly disarmed first. So say if it looses the signal for more than a few seconds (you don't want it blowing up from brief interference after all) then BOOM. That's a pretty obvious way to prevent attempts to destroy the transmitter so it's not like nobody would think of that.

@@atomicskull6405 A bomb set to explode if it doesn't receive a signal is really bad design. Like, really freaking bad design. Imagine, a rival gang wants to kill Mama. All they have to do would be to set up a jammer. Boom. She's dead. In short: The receiver makes total sense.

Nah. Dredd is just saying she's got what it takes. He doesn't care one jot if her experiences or empathy have soured her enthusiasm for the job. If it has, she isn't a good fit. You could as easily argue that Dredd is "passing" on her. It doesn't work. He's speaking to the chief judge about passing a rookie mutant as a judge. His objections are made plain at the very start. All the stuff that happens in the film is literally Dredd's everyday life. Turning a citizen into a judge is, from his point of view, the only meaningful action he performs in the whole thing. The writing and directing go to great lengths to emphasize that. This just adds to Anderson's character and Dredd's arc. He went from saying "she's a mutie empath" to "she's judge material". It really sets up a sequel where they are, as in the books, the iron fist in the velvet glove.

@@synchc They really did great justice, pun intended, to the Dredd/Anderson dynamic. Smart to make her such a big focus too, since if Dredd has a hero at all it's her.

Except Dredd literally has a kill count in the Hundred of Millions

@@weldonwin What I mean is that Dredd is what Batman fears becoming.

@@whuuuut2035 Hell, there has actually been a Judge Dredd x Batman crossover, where the Joker crosses dimensions and comes to Mega City One

@@weldonwin I know, and in that, he talks about how he feels that if he had crossed the line, Dredd is who he'd be. This faceless lethal punishment hell bent on killing anyone for anything even slightly out of line with the law. Not a silent protector of the innocent.

​@@weldonwin So, how far up Joker's butt did Dredd stick his boot?

Jwlz T line gives me chills

"As for you Ma-Ma... Judgement time." That's the line that got me. Like if the film ended on that line and on a cliffhanger, I wouldn't have cared, it was worth every penny.

Me, after I moved out of my mom's house.

*chills*

That grizzled hiss of his just makes it perfect.

Yeah, that music was amazing and its all so amazing

Yeah, I know. Before the take down, I'd left a comment with over a thousand likes. Ticks me right off.

Same here.

Yo. I re watched it like a week ago and yeh. Same

Same I saw this like a month or two ago, I’m so confused

Dyllan Rodriguez Yeah 😅 After getting over my surprise, I just assumed it must be some kinda copyright or demonetization issue that had him needing to reupload (and after reading the description turns out I'm sorta right)

Thank you! I was so confused. Deja vu was getting pretty heavy. I did not see anyone mention it until this comment and got even more confused for a second. I definitely watched it on mobile just within the last month maybe 2 at most.

SPOT ON. Said it many times, and will always say it - THIS IS A FUCKING AWESOME FILM - and Karl, Olivia and Lena nailed their roles perfectly.

Heh, that got me too. Came here looking for this.

Well, except the one liner kind of is the nod.

@@positiivi_teme Except you've got that backwards. The song is an homage to that specific line, either from the original comic or from the Stallone film.

@@JakkFrost1 the song is far older than both. As is many of Anthrax's lyrics, "I am the Law" is based on the comic.

@@clubracergt1 ummm, how can it be both based on the comic _and_ far older than the comic?

@@JakkFrost1 it's older than both movies.

The trouble is it was an indie film, so a Hollywood marking budget was well beyond their means.

it made up in many more ways in after sales for the box office loss.

@@attackhelicopter7403 not enough for a good sequel though

No, lol it’s good. Simple, but entertaining!!! The sequel is complicated

Same things, except my dad put it on and I was hesitant to watch it at first because of the previous films. The opening chase scene changed my mind right away, I knew right then and there the movie was going to be awesome

Yes I agree

Oh, yes please!

Ooh! I agree with this!

Yeah good idea Also henry cavill would be good as bond, i feel like bond needs black hair But maybe that's just how i see it because i grew up with brosnan bond and like him the most

Absolutely seconded! Thank you for your comment.

yOu BEtrAyEd dA lAw!!!

"I AM THE SENATE" - Palpy

"I AM THE LAWN!.. Ooh..." - The Provost Marshall

I'M SPARTACUS!!!! - Not Spartacus

"I am inevitable"

it is an amazing movie!

SPEND MONEY ON IT remind Lionsgate they FUCKED UP by under servicing this movie

This film is 100% badass, you will LOVE IT! :D

@@xalener unfortunately it's a little late for that. Unless you find a way to purchase it directly from Lionsgate. They get almost no profit from streaming or Blu-ray purchases. Which, frankly, is something that needs to change. This model means that only the biggest blockbuster releases have a chance of succeeding. They're expected to make most, if not all, of their proft from the theater release, but a movie like this becomes a cult movie by word of mouth, and doesn't even start picking up momentum until the DVD release. It means that cult moves will always fail... Which is just sad. A sequel to this would have been amazing. Karl Urban was the perfect Dredd, and they managed to make that world feel believable.

@@bronsoncarder2491 I know that, I just try to re-direct the energy from the annoyance that taps my shoulder every time I see an amazing movie that was failed by its distributor get comments like "oh man I never gave this a chance should I see it???"

It's planned

I'm sorry for such a nitpick but I have to. It's not Carl Urban, its Karl Urban.

@@volcanolord100 hehe thanks :P I know Ive seen it spelled before, should have noticed, brain fart moment lol

She's too short. Samus is supposed to be 6'2".

@@GoblinKnightLeo yeah and wolverine is 5' 3" yet no one complained about Jackman being too tall lol.

There are so many techniques that can make Olivia Thibly taller in a film. Practical and fx.

@@darknes2742 A tall Samus is a better Samus tho

Too short? Sooooooo Gwendoline Christie???

True

i was very confused

Still watched it again. Loved the film, loved the wins, figured it deserves the views 😊

he added a few lines, like mentioning that Gavin worked on the slow motion scenes

Hector Barrera It did? I missed that as well.

@@Yggdrasil42 no it didn't, dude needs glasses

Very acute. I always thought that's actually the most important visual clue in the whole movie. Help establish Dredd and Mama as polar opposites and, in a way, complementary.

Your wish has been granted!

Appearance, yes.

No, it represents the law, not justice. There's a difference. Just ask any black person in America and Canada, or any man when having to deal with a woman through any sort of legal proceedings, be it criminal, civil, or family law.

@@JakkFrost1 It took over twenty years (Dredd ages in real time, along with the rest of the 2000AD cast) for old Joe to start caring more about the people living in Meg-1 than just upholding the law. And he had been a street judge for decades prior to the start of the series.

Meh, that movie took a great premise and criminally wasted it trying to be too avant garde and too stylistic.

Mac Mcleod - I gotta agree with you there. I didn’t know the movie existed until months after it came out. I never saw a single trailer for it until I actively went looking for it.

@@hciapetus1251 Same here. I found about this movie, when I was watching TV and stumbled on it. Which means 2-3 years after theater's release date. And I was like "YOOAHH!!! Is that Judge Dredd?! Hmmm, this is not Stallone, this is the guy from Doom movie (Karl Urban, but I didn't knew his name back then)."

Ivaylo Yotov - Karl Urban is actually the reason I actively looked for this Dredd movie. Lol! I’ve known about him since I watched Xena and Hercules as a teen (he played Cupid and Caesar). Then recognized him when I saw him LotR the Two Towers (Eomer). And I own Doom, despite some of my friends saying the movie sucked, I had a lot of fun watching it.

Speaking of which, when are we going to see Lee do the Rocky, Creed, or Rambo movies?

Amen brother. I have loved Stallone in many things but his Dredd knocked off about half the respect I had for him. To piss all over a beloved franchise in that way, taking off the helmet and breaching the walls of the universe (bringing in Hammerstein from ABC Warriors?!)... it was all so disrespectful to the fans and egotistical of Sly.
