Judge Dredd (comics)/YMMV: Difference between revisions

** Again more recently, when after decades of genetic apartheid, he ''forced'' the government of Mega-City One to allow mutants to be citizens, despite the damage this did to his career and the social strife... because something being ''hard'' didn't mean it wasn't the right thing to do.

* [[Crowning Moment of Funny|Cwowning Moment of Funny]]: From "The Day The Law Died,"

'''Walter The Wobot:''' Not Judge ''Dwedd''. Walter say Judge '''Dwedd'''. }}

* [[Growing the Beard]]: "The Cursed Earth" is the story where the world really comes together, and was the first of the epic stories that lasted about half a year.

 

* [[Crowning Moment of Funny]]: There are a few genuinely funny moments, like Rob Schneider getting the green light to do his Sly impersonation. Also, this:

'''Hershey:''' It's JUDGE Bitch! [headbutts her] }}

** And one of the few moments which captures the satirical streak of the original:

* [[Family-Unfriendly Aesop]]: The audience is supposed to cheer when Dredd is reinstated as an authoritarian enforcer of laws that he and he alone presides over.

* [[Ink Stain Adaptation]]

* [[Memetic Mutation]]:

'''Rico''': ''"[[Sarcasm Mode|Lawww!]]"'' }}

** [[Sylvester Stallone]]'s delivery of "'''I ''AM'' THE LAW!'''"

* [[So Bad It's Good]]: As... off-kilter as it is, it's fun to watch, taking into account Armand Assante's [[Chewing the Scenery|bombastic acting]], the poor drama and the fact that no one can seem to say "law" properly.

* [[Tear Jerker]]

* [[Unfortunate Implications]]: Fargo tells Dredd that Rico "genetically mutated into the perfect criminal", suggesting that criminals are either a separate ''species'' to normal humans, or that criminality is innate and the Judges are therefore punishing people for crimes ''they cannot help committing''.

** Though this isn't necessarily individual to the movie, as this is a philosophical argument in [[Real Life]] as well.
