Default Demolition Man (1993)

So, with a thread already dedicated to that other Stallone classic, Cobra, and inspired by the fact that both have just been released on blu-ray in a variety of countries, I thought it would be nice to discuss this great action/sci-fi movie (or not great movie if you aren't a fan). What are your favourite lines from the movie? Any scenes jump out at you as classics of the action genre? And as stallone asks at the end of the film, "how do those damn 3 seashells work?"*

*I believe Stallone gave the answer to that in an interview on Aintitcoolnews or another site. He may have just made it up though.

'oh man they'll let anyone into this century' Demolition Man is great and probably my fave Stallone flick outside of Rocky 4.

You're gonna regret this the rest of your life... both seconds of it.

Send a maniac to catch a maniac.

So many great lines in the film.

Mellow greetings, what seems to be your boggle?!

The only Stallone film I've seen that I'd give more than a 5 or 6 out of 10 to! (not a Sly fan) Loved this when I was a kid; Snipes is on top form in this one too.

Never found out how those damn seashells worked, though...

I could be wrong, but I think they removed the word 'c*nt' in order to obtain a 15 rating when originally rated back in the '90s.

The fight at the cryo-lab at the end of the film is missing a double ear clap from Snipes to Stallone.

Hmmmm looks like I will be buying The film again when it hits BD in the states. The Hong Kong disc uses the version dubbed with Pizza Hut instead of Taco Bell.
