Starting point is 00:00:00 Citizens of Reject City One. We're going to watch Dread 2D today. It's a momentous occasion. This movie is one I've been wanting to see for a long time. And I've heard a lot of good stuff about. And apparently Carl Urban was so committed that he didn't want to take the mask off once. So neither am I. I don't even know if he talks this way, but I know he's always got that skill.
Starting point is 00:00:25 Roxanne, how are you doing? I feel like I'm in Gotham right. now bro okay don't i need to dial up that well no i think it's cool but it's giving on batman too badman all right yeah sorry it was really really good we need more of the boys less the batman oh right yeah yeah see um umf umf in judge dread exactly and that's what i was hoping for um i'm doing well this movie's been referenced a lot and i've never had any idea what anybody was talking about so uh obviously we're in a nerd space and anytime there's a comic book adaptation people are like you haven't seen it And now I could be like, yes, I have.
Starting point is 00:01:01 So I'm excited for that. How are you? I am excited too. I've been wanting to see this since it came out in 3D. I am part of the problem as to why this didn't make enough money for that sequel. But hey, I hope this is rad. This looks rad. I've heard rad things about it.
Starting point is 00:01:15 There's not much more to say, really. We're not dreading it at all. Not dreading it. That's not going to be my last pun. I can't promise. I think there will be like five more. This is a pun. This is an all pun zone.

Starting point is 00:03:30 I was just looking him up. Do you know anything else he's done? I don't. I didn't know any of his stuff. I don't. I don't know anything about him other than that he sort of directed this movie. And Alex Garland wants more people to applaud him for that. Even though I'm not sure.
Starting point is 00:03:46 And I guess Alex Carlin kind of directed the movie. Anyway, gang, dread. We've made it. This was a blast. This was both along the lines of what I've. had come to expect over the years and yet somehow not quite what I had come to expect over the years and I'm buzzing at the moment. How are you feeling, Roxanne? I'm feeling really good. You know the second that when something ends and you're like, must know more, where is this coming from?
Starting point is 00:04:11 What like all the things, I'm looking at every single cast member. I'm looking at the director. I'm looking at just like what you were talking about earlier. Is this how Dominal Gleason and what's his name, know each other? Alex. Yeah, exactly. So I really like this movie, and I think that it, for something that came out in 2012, it really looks like it came out today. Like, it looked pretty sick. And I like the bond, and I like the, you know, I was dead wrong about things. And I enjoy being wrong.
Starting point is 00:04:45 Your boy was not our boy. No, I was just looking at him, too. Because he was Julius and remember the Titans, and that's what I was mostly thinking. And then I called out the wire also, which of course he was in as well, Wood Harris. He's had a prolific career. So much stuff. Including most recently, one battle after another, which obviously just one best picture.
Starting point is 00:05:05 So he was in Creed 3. I mean, he's really, really good. I just was blanking on his name. But he was incredible in this. And I think because I've seen him so often, so many things, especially as Julius, because I love Remember the Titans, I was just like, nah, he's going to be.
Starting point is 00:05:22 He's going to be redeemable. Yeah. So that's interesting casting choice by them. and he did a great job. And that girl did a great job, too. Olivia Thurlby was her name, I think. I'm not familiar with her, were you? Yeah, like, it's weird.
Starting point is 00:05:35 I feel like maybe, but not in anything I can pull right out of the ether here. Yeah, so she was in Juno, no strings attached. The Wackness, those are her top credit. Wackness? She was just in three episodes of Wonder Man. Oh, sick, okay. I got to watch that still.
Starting point is 00:05:50 They just got picked up for season two. She was in Oppenheimer, why the last man? Okay. So a lot of credits herself. I thought she was phenomenal, so it makes sense that she kept working. Oh, snap. Yeah, we got a Bobby Womack song in here. Dude, this was...
Starting point is 00:06:04 This was fun as heck, yeah. This had, like, all the departments had a lot of, like, fun on this, it seemed like. Filmed at Cape Town Film Studios, Cape Town South Africa. That makes sense. The visuals, man. Yeah, really cool visuals, really cool music, really cool world. We should go inhale some stuff. We should, dude.
Starting point is 00:06:23 We should go do some slow-mo. Slow-mo looks pretty sick. I think with Rainbow. And they called the thing Peach Tree Films Limited. Their little LLC they set up for the movie. Yeah, this was really fun.
Starting point is 00:06:35 This was cool because this, yeah, felt like a graphic novel world. I don't know a ton about the Sylvester Stallone version. I gather that, I mean, like every image I've seen
Starting point is 00:06:45 from that movie looks like it certainly has a certain level of like insanity to the production value. I assume that the Stallone one is sillier and wackier. That's called judge. Judge Dredd.
Starting point is 00:06:56 Yes, correct. From 95. Yes. That is the one. And it has a 22% on Rotten Tomatoes. Yeah, it is not a well... It has its cult love now, I'm sure, but it is not a well-liked rendition of the source material. It is, in fact, Rob Schneider, but the other person who is in it that you didn't mention...
Starting point is 00:07:16 Oh, who'd I miss? Diane Lane. What? Diane Lane. You heard me. What? Is it Judge Dred? She plays...
Starting point is 00:07:25 Judge Hershey. Oh, dude, we should have been watching Judge Dredd then. Hey, if you guys like this video, maybe we'll watch this Stallone version. We watched both Street Fighter and Wait.
Starting point is 00:07:37 No, that wasn't I? You and I watched Mortal Kombat. I watched both Street Fighter. We didn't do a video game? I thought we did a video game. Did I do both those with Aaron? Did I switch with somebody? Anyway, you...
Starting point is 00:07:50 Back to Dread. This was really fun. I'm the small white girl. Yeah, and I It's easy to mistake me for Aaron. I understand. Yeah, that's you. And I'm Carl Urban.
Starting point is 00:08:01 Yeah, yeah, yeah. But no, this was fun because, yeah, it felt a little bit. I'm curious to know what the actual budget was. Like, this felt a little bit like, yeah, please. I don't know it off top of my head, but I will look it up right now. I'm curious as well. This is the type of movie that I'm telling you. I'm like, Google, Google, Google.
Starting point is 00:08:17 Yeah, totally. Because this, from what I recall, it's weird. Like, I remember picking up information about this movie, even though I hadn't seen it. Ooh, you were spot on. Was it 40? Estimated production budget of roughly roughly 45 to 50.
Starting point is 00:08:31 See, that's pretty sick for a movie like this. But it grossed only 41 mil worldwide, 27.6 mil International. Yeah. 13.4 domestic. That's crazy. Yeah, it flopped sadly.
Starting point is 00:08:43 This is definitely... Oh, that is a bummer. This is like a good poster child for one of those movies where fans are like, oh my God, they actually did it. This is a pretty sick rendition of this. This makes up for what has happened in the past. Carler,
Starting point is 00:08:55 again, clearly taking it seriously, the whole, again, choice never to remove the mask. A lot of people have big respect for. There have been multiple petitions online for doing it. I know Carl Urban's been out here basically saying like, hell yeah, like, I'll do it. Like, there's a lot of support for a dread to. 80% on rotten tomatoes and a 72% on the tomato meter. Yeah. Yeah. Like, this was reasonably well liked at the time and it didn't do very well. And it was one of those movies that continually comes up in conversation is like, this deserves a sequel. and I would love that.
Starting point is 00:09:26 Like, it's funny because this works really well just on its own, and it's so straightforward in a way. It's like you're just, you're set in with, here's Dred, and he's going out with this new partner, here's her ability, and they're about to get trapped in this impossible situation. And I like that, like, I've heard the raid mentioned in correlation with this many times. I like that this didn't feel like watching the raid. Obviously, the whole like, oh, get to the top of this building and there's a drug lord is a relatively basic plot.
Starting point is 00:09:55 line. But yeah, I like that this didn't feel the same type of action movie. Not that I don't love the really, you know, bone-crunching crazy martial arts, but this was on the other side of the spectrum where this is more, you know, Western action. This is more like gunplay and, you know, police military action. But as such, I thought this had a lot of style. I thought that their mixture, like they knew when was appropriate to do a digital blood gag, like especially in one of those early shots were like a blitz ripping through some guy's face and you see like the hole open up. I'm like. The heat hot
Starting point is 00:10:29 bullet or heat bullet whatever. Yeah, yeah. And I'm like some stuff I bet they probably wanted to do practically and maybe you couldn't. So like I get how and why they chose CG. It's one of those movies where like you can see where a lot of effects are but at the same time in seeing them you're like, but I can't
Starting point is 00:10:45 quite see where all the edges go and I'm like because everything else is working well enough, it's like impressive or you can admire the ingenuity, even if you can tell effects are happening, whereas sometimes you see an effect, you're like, oh, that doesn't look very good. Other times you're like, I can tell this is happening, but it looks, I can see the artistry that went into assembling this and it's still creating the movie magic, even if I can tell. So that's, I mean, yeah, hats off to that. Hats off to the
Starting point is 00:11:10 production design, you know, you get just enough of what the city, what mega city one is. They have like a lot of really charming details, even though it's not a world where you're going full immersion into the city. It's not like it's like this isn't very blade runnery even though like the kind of world is like a blade runner kind of world it's a big tall future you know neon lit city of sorts and you're also not neon like like there's only some things that are like the neon in the darkness it's kind of cool. Yeah the balance is tweaked way more toward like this is a slum and it's run down and everything sucks here and I do want to see different corners that would be interesting. Yeah and I mean too like this is again this is a
Starting point is 00:11:51 a comic book fantasy so it makes sense that it's like, you know, there's horrific crime and these judges who are all powerful. And like, you're not supposed to do a heavy amount of questioning in the sort of application therein of the law. Like, what did normal
Starting point is 00:12:09 people's lives look like in this world? What about the fact that they only test you to be a judge if you're an orphan? Yeah. Like, is it? That's just the fascinating world. And it makes me curious, yeah, to like unpack the commentary or you know i'm like
Starting point is 00:12:22 does the comic book have a certain degree of commentary on its mind the way like Punisher comics have a degree of commentary on their mind versus what goes into the movie either way i loved the the chemistry between Carl Urban and Anderson I really like Dreadin Anderson together
Starting point is 00:12:38 I thought Lena Hetty was just totally locked in villainous loved the look of the slow mo and that was another selling point of the movie is like oh they've got this crazy visual motif for the drug sequences which is like a very strong element of the movie
Starting point is 00:12:54 but they didn't like ape that as hard as it like this had more restraint than I was expecting as a movie it's like they didn't go ham every two seconds slowing things down it's not like a sex Snyder movie that way but it
Starting point is 00:13:06 careful it was very striking and yeah I thought it was like straightforward in the right ways I appreciated that the pacing was like pretty deliberate it's an hour 35 minutes it's an hour and 35 minutes it doesn't feel particularly
Starting point is 00:13:21 fast, but it doesn't feel over long. Like, it's just well-paced. And again, like, because of movies like the raid, which are much more like, bam, bam, bam, bam. This is more like a little bit of a diehard almost in the way that you're going between there's a battle, and then there's
Starting point is 00:13:37 like some intermittent time where we're sneaking around or we're dealing with these obstacles or we're interrogating somebody. And then there's more action versus being like a constant elevation of crazy fights or something like that. It's funny that you mentioned the raid a few times because I wouldn't have even thought of that if you hadn't said it even though I covered it here but then I see that
Starting point is 00:13:54 one of our Patreon questions is about the raid as well which is interesting I'm sure that there are a lot of direct comparisons it's funny because yeah I wouldn't have necessary like I'm sure the connection would have happened at some point but if I hadn't heard it so many times I don't know if I would have thought about it like immediately or anything like that because too I like that it takes a while like the raid you're pretty much like we're getting ready to go in and now we're going in and there's like a brief prologue of like who Rama is. But like in this movie,
Starting point is 00:14:23 it's like you get a whole act of like them going around doing stuff. It takes a while. It almost feels like a reveal. It's like, oh shit. Now they're locked in. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:14:33 Now the movie is truly started. And it took like a little more of its time in a good way to get there than I would have expected. Yeah, when she goes over the loudspeaker and you're like, oh snap. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:14:44 What are you looking for right now? I'm curious. I'm just pulling up any, I'm like locking and loading trivia because, you know. that they gave us some too, though, so don't spoil it for yourself. Oh, no, yeah, we're going to be good. We're going to be good. Either way.
Starting point is 00:14:56 Don't spoil yourself. This was, yeah, I like the charms of this as, again, as like a low, it has the charm of a low budget, sort of semi-exploitation-y movie. Like, I kind of like that it's not too slick, and it does remind me of stuff like Punisher Warzone that's just like scuzzy and violent and it takes place in a harsh world. And, yeah, it feels appropriately like a more violent adult. oriented comic or something like that. And yeah, I don't know.
Starting point is 00:15:24 I just thought this really nicely did what it was here to do in a way that feels very distinct and didn't have me thinking about like a bunch of other things that are being aped or referenced, you know. It's just like I like the way they rolled the ball. Good cast, good, you know, fun music. You know, appropriate style of music for this movie. It's a lot of rock and cool stuff. Yeah, yeah.
Starting point is 00:15:45 You and I are both music. Bass. Yeah, it was a vibe for sure. I definitely. understand why people love this movie so much. Yeah. Color me impressed. The one-liners on Carl Urban.
Starting point is 00:15:55 This was like a little bit demolition man, but like harder, core almost. What do you say it's time to judge or to, what was that one line? He's like, the judge, I'm here to judge. Remember, you don't remember the one line? You don't know what I'm time on? Not enough to fill it in right now. All right. All right.
Starting point is 00:16:12 Whatever. I am Judge Judy in executioner. Maybe it's in the quotes. He had one-liners for days, man. And like in just the right, just the right way. were like they're charming and they're fun but they're not so silly that like they're
Starting point is 00:16:26 in like Arnold one-liner territory. I'm never going to find it like that my dude. John command effing judge on a page negotiations over. The sentence is death. Don't worry about it. I'm a judge. He never
Starting point is 00:16:42 just says I'm a judge. No, it wasn't that. It wasn't that. Sentence. What it was a sentence? They'll tell me in the comments. All right. Fine. All right. fine. Anyway, This was sick. Let's read some You're trying to give me the answers to my questions. How dare you?
Starting point is 00:16:57 Nah, that's not what we're here for. You guys hook it up. Thank you. Ask questions. Thank you, Residence Z kicking us off. You want to read it? Yeah. Residence Z said, loved this movie. It also reminded me a lot of the raid redemption with both being stuck inside an apartment building question. I love movies where the protagonists
Starting point is 00:17:16 are stuck in location. Are there any other movies that you can think of with a similar theme. Saw, escape room, green room, are movies that I can think of off the top of my head. Good calls. Buried with Ryan Reynolds. What is that?
Starting point is 00:17:31 Ryan Reynolds in a coffin for 90 minutes. It's pretty good. I like that movie. The room? Dude, the room. Is it called room or the Brie Larson one? Room. Room. Just room. I'll go for the room, even though there are multiple locations
Starting point is 00:17:47 in the room, including some exterior. I was going to say There's obviously Are you looking best one location movie? Yeah just to see Just to see if there's any thing that we missed 10 Cloverfield Lane That's a really good one too
Starting point is 00:18:02 I love that movie Pretty sick Yeah Oh the breakfast club counts Is a one location movie technically Yeah just not the same Not similar theme at all You know
Starting point is 00:18:13 I love this set in a coffin Damn Oh clerks That's a fun one to throw in here. I've always wanted to see Cube. Cube takes place in a cube. Oh. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:18:26 Well, here they sent people to a cube. I never know Kujo was set in a car. Yeah, knock at the cabin M-night. That was, we just saw that last year or something. Yeah. A couple years ago. Time flies when you're wanting it to slow down. Time flies when you haven't actually seen it because I haven't seen it.
Starting point is 00:18:44 Oh, really? Yeah. I want to see Light Night with Devil. You guys watched that. set in the late night talk show studio. Yeah, I did. Yeah, that's right. I love that they put primate here. My good buddy, Johannes Roberts,
Starting point is 00:18:57 that's his movie of this year. It does take place in one house. Hey, we got reservoir dogs technically kind of counts. Oh, shout out to Shiva Baby, one of my favorite Jewish movies. Hell yeah. That's an amazing shout, not a horror at all, but it has a $200,000 budget and is a great one-location film. Okay. All right. All right. I see panic room in here. I want to see Silent House. I heard Silent House is pretty good.
Starting point is 00:19:23 With Rebecca Hall. Oh. Oh, Snowpiercer. Snowpiercer is pretty sick. Oh, yeah. That's an amazing one. I love that movie. Love that movie. All right. Thanks for the question. Made us think about it more. Absolutely. Leave us yours. And, I mean, there's got to be a million episodes of TV. They have a great one location scenario. But we ain't got time for that. monster from this past year. The Menendez brother's story, that was that one shot that punched in on
Starting point is 00:19:50 one of the brothers. And it's just taking place in a holding cell where he's talking to his reps. That's an amazing one shot. So it's just a one shot episode? It's like a play. It's just him, on him and slowly zooming in. That's insane.
Starting point is 00:20:06 Just a slow zoom for the whole episode? Bons. Yeah, it was bongers. Okay. I got to see that shit. I think he was nominated, beat for it because it was so good. I bet. Damn. I love that. What was that episode of Hillhouse, too, where they do just like all one take in the
Starting point is 00:20:22 funeral home or whatever? Anyway. I've lost them to do, but they change locations, even though it's one shot. Leave us your location locked movies down below. Jaden Rhodes, thank you for chiming in. Jaden says, this is
Starting point is 00:20:38 one of my favorite action movies of all time. It's an adrenaline rush. Such an adrenaline rush for the entire movie from me. I'm curious if you all agree and what's y'all's favorite action movies of all time? I totally get why this is one of your favorite action movies. Yeah, this is sick. This is awesome. It's really sick. This just gives you
Starting point is 00:20:55 what you were hoping for pretty much. Favorite action movies? I have no idea, man. It depends on what you consider a subgenre of action. Do you consider sports movies to be a subgenre of action? That's a good question, actually. Because, like, I feel like action is
Starting point is 00:21:14 often predicated on like, are there fight scenes, but I'm like, if you watch... Like, Warrior is my favorite. But it's... Yeah, it's like an action drama, I guess. Yeah, but it's not really action. I mean, it's a sport, you're in a room. It is a sports drama. There's an element of... Yeah, that's a good question.
Starting point is 00:21:29 I mean, I guess I don't... I will allow it. I will allow it for Warrior. I love that movie. For Shorrier. Golly. Some of the best action movies are... That's a hard, man. I mean, like, Jackie... I grew up with, like, a lot of Jackie Chan, Greg and I watching, like... police story or who am i what about superhero movies uh oh golly those count yeah i would say
Starting point is 00:21:51 yeah yeah a dark night dark night's probably the whole tdk trilogy probably i mean i'm i love hot fuzz uh we were really obsessed so action comedy with jet lee's the one growing up but uh oh my god they're calling miscongeniality uh action movie is the greatest movies ever i was gonna say the the the if you look I mean, Fury Road is a top-notch banger. I mean, Tarantino's made a lot of great action movies. I mean, Demolition Man was insane. We watched that here. I mean, I would throw the raid in there for sure.
Starting point is 00:22:27 I loved Minority Report. Minority reports. Yeah, like, are Star Wars movies, action movies? I don't know. Yeah, I'm like, I often, again, bring action back to like, it's somewhat grounded and tangible, at least in terms of the fighting, or else it's guns. I don't know.
Starting point is 00:22:44 that's that's hard that like yeah there's there's at the on the outside you say to yourself like oh it's action doy like you know it's it's it's the genre with fight scenes and guns but then you think yeah like yeah where to sci-fi fit into that then would you just call that action or would you call that something else yeah would you call something like warrior an action movie it has action but it's technically a sports movie because the stakes of the action are different yeah uh god though best action movies man best that that that's that's freaking hard. I mean like because like the matrix obviously speed. I used to love speed growing up.
Starting point is 00:23:22 I haven't seen speed in a long time. I think I the last time I revisited speed was when you guys watched it. I think the fugitive which which we watched here on the channel as well. The fugitive one of the greatest action movie or action thriller. That's more of a thriller but like that's a great movie. Robocop is one of the all time great.
Starting point is 00:23:41 It's the hardest to define the genre. I just think it's very difficult to define. Yeah, I would say. I would agree with that. Yeah. Oh, Hardcore Henry was sick. I remember seeing hardcore Henry. Oh, I don't know what that is.
Starting point is 00:23:53 It's the first person, POV action movie. I don't know. It's pretty sick. It's got Charlottocoply in it from District 9, which does District 9 count as a action? I guess it's more of a sci-fi movie, but has action. The John Wicks, I mean, John Wick Chapter 4 is probably my favorite of that one. Oh, really?
Starting point is 00:24:12 Of that franchise. Wow. That's interesting. You're the first first I ever heard say that. And I like the fourth one a lot. I like one and four the best. And then I like two and three kind of, you know, slightly below that. God, though, that's so freaking hard. I remember.

Starting point is 00:25:27 This is a fun action joyride of a movie, and it deserves a sequel. Carl Urban said he would do it if they make one. Would y'all like to see a sequel? 110% green lighted. I will donate to the Kickstarter. Yeah. I mean, we can bring back the same actors,
Starting point is 00:25:42 or if we needed to just like go to a different judge, different corner, different place. There's so much of this world we could explore. Like Judge Fred. Judge Judy. Judge Ted. Judge Lead. So you're doing a rhyme thing, but I...

And if you want the sequel, comment below on this video, and that'll get the sequel made. Exactly. Randy Francois, thank you for time and in. Topo Chico boy and bubbly girl.

Starting point is 00:26:52 I am bubbly girl We're spilling We're doing great Tubbo Chigo Louiego boy And bubbly girl If you were a judge What law would you make up And enforce something silly
Starting point is 00:27:08 Or serious That pisses you off Citizens and the Reject Nation Don't forget to leave a like On the videos or sentences death. Yes, absolutely. They had movie theaters,
Starting point is 00:27:20 so I think if you leave your cup or your trash in the movie theater without bringing it out yourself, unalived. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I can't stand that. Like, what do you guys... Why is it the one place
Starting point is 00:27:33 that people have deemed it acceptable to be like, eh, I'm going to just leave my trash in the seat. Mm-hmm. Like, just take it out with you. You brought it in with you. You could do so much. Yeah, like I know someone's
Starting point is 00:27:44 job is to do this, but you could help. And it's like not even really their job isn't picking up your trash. It's supposed to be like between cinema, sweeping the floor, you know, cleaning things up. Cleaning up the excess, not like everyone is supposed to
Starting point is 00:28:00 leave all your shit for me to deal with. Yeah, yeah, yeah. So we should all pitch in. I would say yeah, it's like if you leave the theater cluttered, if you, okay, so if you take a text, if you start texting during the movie, that's a minimum.
Starting point is 00:28:15 Oh, during a movie theater movie? That's six months in the in the cubes. That's bad. If you take a call in the movie, mandatory death sentence. Yeah, that's bad. Or maybe a year in the cubes. That's really bad. If you don't use turn signals, you definitely go into the cubes for a while.
Starting point is 00:28:33 Yeah, you're a mask and you're a jerk face. Yeah, I was going to say. I don't know if there's anything. If you shuffle your feet without picking them up. Yeah. I don't know if I would if I would hand out death sentences for any of you. No, that's fair, that's fair. I'm sending people to the cubes more than I.
Starting point is 00:28:47 Cubs. I mean, is there other stuff than the Cube? We did the Juve Cubs. We had the solitary cubes or whatever, and then we had death, pretty much. Is there probation in this world? Can you just, like, be picking up trash a couple days a month? Well, that was the first thing he offered, he said, with no parole, but a cube for life. Yeah, and I guess, you know, if you're seen drinking off brands of water, that's a sentence right there,
Starting point is 00:29:10 passing judgment on you. What else do we need in this society? Are we missing anything? No, I think it was pretty much. Just the turn signals in the movie theater at a kid. Okay. Welcome to Topo Chico Boy and Bubbly Girl World. That's right.
Starting point is 00:29:24 That's right. Crack yourself open a sparkling drink of choice. Yeah, yeah. I'm glad that Dan Merle on his live streams whenever people are like, pick your favorite thing or like come up with a, he understands me. He's like, I'm going to sit here and deliberate
Starting point is 00:29:41 until I come up with like the answer I feel is correct within my soul and that's not going to be fun to watch. So instead I'm going to panic and just name anything. That's how I feel during these. I'm like, I know there's the answer. He's my screen junkies buddy. Dude, I love Dan. I watch Dan, like, throughout the week.
Starting point is 00:29:58 He's a staple of my media diet, Dan Merle. Anyway, it's mandatory cube sense if you don't like Dan Merle. As we know. Jay Rushden. What's up, Jay? Question. What is favorite part of the movie there? What's the favorite part of the movie?
Starting point is 00:30:16 Oh, that's so tough. I liked when she was about to get killed and then the gun backfired on him, not backfired, but whatever. Did the ID mismatch? He blew his hand off. From there until when she then goes and gets the guy who has dread, I just thought it was like, oh, yeah, we're now kicking butt and taking names. That was a really fun part. Yeah. God, I don't know.
Starting point is 00:30:39 I just love watching the two of them, like, kick ass together. It's hard to pick a specific one moment. I mean, like, it was a gnarly moment, certain. It was very, like, a standout moment when she and your buddy from the show, like, have that mind palace back and forth. Yeah, that was wild. That was gnarly. And, like, some of that. He was such a good guy.
Starting point is 00:31:01 He was a great guy. And it never got uncomfortable to be in his mind. No. But, uh, but, uh, but yeah, that was a pretty cool, like, gotcha moment of just like, oh, shit. Okay, we see the full extent. It's cool because it gives you the sense of like, okay, she's got some pretty awesome power. And the rest of the movie doesn't feel the need to like overstate that. And like that's cool.
Starting point is 00:31:22 But really ultimately like I just loved watching dread and her kick ass. He has that brief exchange with the medic guy. It was pretty cool. I really like the first time that we see the windshield, somebody splatter on it. I was like, oh, we're in this world. We are in this world. Okay, I get what we're doing here. And just the way they personify the slowmo.
Starting point is 00:31:40 Very cool, very interesting. This is, yeah, this was fun because this was like scuzzy in all the right ways, but it had just enough style in the right places in the right ways. This played above its budget in some really fun ways. And yeah, like I wish more movies like this could exist or that like, I don't know, stuff like this goes to show you that not everything needs to be $150 million. You know, and you can get something that people at least like and care about. But a couple of other straight trivia facts before we get out of here. Carl Urban insisted on riding the lawmaster motorcycle himself. He refused to smile or take off the helmet at any point during the movies filming or even in between takes.
Starting point is 00:32:19 He spoke with an American accent and kept the scowl the whole time and stayed serious to keep in character. At one point a cast member made a joke during a joke causing laughter on the set. And Irvin gave him the dread stare, prompting the person to immediately apologize. That's so good. Before the movie came out, Carl Urban confirmed that unlike the previous Dread movie, the character's helmet would never come off so as to stay true to the comic book character. And yeah, in an interview for Joe Blow.com, Carl Urban revealed that Dread was actually directed by Alex Garland. This is strange why Pete Travis did not promote the film in any way.
Starting point is 00:32:58 This makes it Dred Alex Garland's first feature. There's got to be a lot of behind-the-scenes stuff. Oh, body count, 102. Damn, okay. Hey, we were asking, not bad. This says that in the classroom of peat trees, we see the American flag, and it's only got six stars that represent the six mega states. There were treatments written by Alex Garland before settling for the present story. The first treatment, the dark judge's treatment features the encounter between dread and the rival judge by the name of Judge Death.
Starting point is 00:33:32 Oh, my gosh. However, Garland abandoned it after a year's work and 60 drafts on the story, admitting that he couldn't crack much on that storyline. Damn, sometimes when it's not working, there's a reason. Yeah. The second treatment is related to dread and cursed Earth storyline, but was abandoned for a similar reason. The third treatment was an adaptation of the pro-democracy terrorist attacking the judge's
Starting point is 00:33:51 storyline. But Carly felt that story and his ideas towards it were too grandiose in nature, but stated that the treatment would have been the third part of a trilogy if there were to be one. The final script he wrote based on the punchier short stories in the vamen of cop movies, his training day. John Wagner described the script as correcting the mistake in the earlier version of Judge Dredd that was considered too sweeping. Shot fire.
Starting point is 00:34:17 God damn. Cool. Yeah. Yeah. Takes a human body roughly. Wait a minute. That's just saying how long mall would have actually been falling. So it would have actually been 40 minutes for her to fall.
Starting point is 00:34:32 25 seconds in real time. Yeah. Damn. 40 minutes. The last judge, the dread fights in the slow-mo lab is named Lex. Lex is the Latin word for law. Well done, gang. This was fascinating.
Starting point is 00:34:49 This was a blast. This was badass. I want to wear a helmet. It wasn't dreadful. It wasn't dreadful. No. It was, in fact, it was quite colorful. Quite beautiful, quite rainbow tinted.
Starting point is 00:34:59 Time to go fix my dread head. Yes, gang. If you enjoyed the dread experience, leave a like on the video. I'm going to go put my helmet on, and I'm going to go put my helmet on. and I'm going to scow it up the rest of the day. Hopefully they make a sequel in 10 years, and then we'll be back for more. But until then, for the fault, obey the law.
Starting point is 00:35:16 Most of the time. Cheers.
