Boy they sure had a lot of takers for the Troi and Wesley roles LOL

Wesley Snipes would have been badass there! (oops, thinking 90s Wesley Snipes)

[Darren Dirt]

Passenger 57 totally rocked imo -- and The Snipes made Demolition Man totally awesome too (balancing out the Stallone scenery chewing and Ms. Bullock's fail)

[Melbosa]

Demolition Man is one of my all time fav movies.  I will agree that Stallone isn't the greatest actor, but I must disagree about Sandra!  There isn't a movie of hers I don't like .

And Wesley... well I can't think of many movies of his I don't like either.

If you like Wil Wheaton you really should check out the last two seasons of "The Guild" (FREE on line and Xbox live Zune)

[Mr. Analog]

Blech! You guys are nuts!!

Snipes was the only thing that made Demolition Man watchable, everything else was like a Simpsons episode and/or a Universal Studios movie-themed ride. It actually made Total Recall seem cerebral in comparison (YIIIIIIIKES).

As for Sandra... it's hard to believe someone with her talents (see: The Blind Side if you haven't already) got noticed because of her rather horrible role in that movie, in comparison her role in Speed seems like Lady MacBeth.

I will say nothing about Sly, he is so hit or miss and completely ate up Demolition Man the same way he absorbed Judge Dredd.

Mind you DM is a cut above a lot of other action movie pap that was out and about around the same time if I recall. 1993 (?) was not exactly a hot year for action flicks...

Reggie Jackson as Geordi? As in the baseball player?

LOL good catch! Also, what the heck!!

Maybe the same reason LL Cool J is in NCIS: LA?

So Reggie Jackson is washed up and too old to play anything but a civil servant?




and PS: (i.e. missed this...)

me = confused, since ALL of us "guys" said that Snipes knocked it out of the park in Demolition Man... or are you saying that nothing else in it was good? Cuz I kinda agree with you, I mean the Denis Leary scenes practically had a telephone in them.


But also, I agree "Sandy" (as her friends call her) has some serious acting talent, just in DM (and also in Speed, yes, I said it) she really didn't show anything of significance was there. (I think even Mel has to admit that )

Kinda like Ben Affleck in ... pretty much everything other than Changing Lanes and The Town.

Not what I meant, but if you want to take it that way, fine by me

Yeah! I think we're on the same wavelength here
