In 1993, critics largely dismissed Demolition Man as an action flick with gratuitous explosions. Except that it smartly predicted toxic masculinity, racial bias, cancel culture experience, and more.
Celebrate the 30th anniversary of the Stallone/Snipes action classic, Demolition Man!
There may be no better ’90s action showdown than DEMOLITION MAN, pitting tough guy Stallone against a manic, bleach-blonde, scenery-chewing Wesley Snipes in a future that’s ill-equipped for their explosive escapades.
With a very 90s supporting cast, including Sandra Bullock, Benjamin Bratt, and Rob Schneider, some off-the-wall humor (seashells, anyone?), and over-the-top action, it’s a relic of the past that’s about to wreak havoc on your present.
Demolition Man is a 1993 American science fiction action film starring Sylvester Stallone, Wesley Snipes, Sandra Bullock, and Nigel Hawthorne. Stallone is John Spartan, a risk-taking police officer who has a reputation for causing destruction while carrying out his work. After a failed attempt to rescue hostages from evil crime lord Simon Phoenix (Snipes), they are both sentenced to be cryogenically frozen in 1996. Phoenix is thawed for a parole hearing in 2032, but escapes. Society has changed and all crime has seemingly been eliminated. Unable to deal with a criminal as dangerous as Phoenix, the authorities awaken Spartan to help capture him again.
Can I Kick It? events take cult classics and contemporary martial arts/action favorites and LIVE scores the film with a blend of genres such as hip hop, soul, and funk.
