Line 11:
* [[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.
* [[Harsher in Hindsight]]: One villain in an early story (from 1977) destroys the World Trade Center.
* [[Hilarious in Hindsight]]: The ''Democracy Now'' quote at the top of the page seems a lot less like a convincing argument since Mayor of London, [[Crouching Moron, Hidden Badass|Boris Johnson]], rescued a woman from a mugging that he happened upon while [http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/8340865.stm cycling past]<ref> Note unlike certain other cities, the Mayor of London does not have automatic 24 hour bodyguards, it really was just him riding up</ref>. It seems an elected representative can work just fine.
* [[Lawful Neutral]]: Dredd himself, but apparently this is debated in some quarters.
* [[Magnificent Bastard]]: PJ Maybe.
Line 23:
** And one of the few moments which captures the satirical streak of the original:
{{quote| '''Food Dispensing Robot:''' Eat recycled food! It's good for the environment and okay for you!}}
* [[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]]:
Line 29:
'''Rico''': ''"[[Sarcasm Mode|Lawww!]]"'' }}
** [[Sylvester Stallone]]'s delivery of "'''I ''AM'' THE LAW!'''"
* [[So Bad ItsIt'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]]
{{quote| '''Rico''': I was your brother, your blood, your friend! They're (the clones) your family! I'm your family! (voice cracks) I was the only family you ever had!}}
Line 36:
** This also creates a pretty gaping plot hole, as Rico and Dredd being genetically identical is the entire point on which the plot turns.
* [[WTH Casting Agency]]:
** Chief Justice Fargo played by Max von Sydow, presumably in a case of [[Money, Dear Boy]].
** '''Ilsa''' Hayden played by [[Joan Chen]]?
*** Hey, [[In the Future Humans Will Be One Race|it's the future]].
