Movies In Trouble'Judge Dredd' [1995] - C.E. Garcia, Mike Cuevas, and Ben Gonzalez."Welcome to Dredd Reckoning!" In this weeks episode we dive face-first into the chrome-plated chaos of 'Judge Dredd (1995), a movie that asked: “What if RoboCop had zero self-awareness, and took his helmet off every five minutes..?” With Stallone growling through poorly written (and delivered) one-liners, a director losing complete control, and Rob Schneider becoming the comic relief in a dystopian hellscape, this film was supposed to launch a franchise... but instead, crash-landed into a mess of rewrites, ego, and designer shoulder pads.2025-07-111h 32
