"Demolition Man" may have predicted our present and future

Some interesting parallels to our present existence with masks, vax, and government mandates in the classic film Demolition Man.

I dig Sandra Bullock in that era.




I'm just hoping that the restaurant situation doesn't transpire like it did in the film.

It is interesting how that film used a Chinese cultural influence to such an extent.

Saw the film for the first time a few weeks ago.
Had previouslly seen a few year old video drawing from it and comparing it to where society has gone.

There is a part of me that wants to watch it often enough I pick up the san angeles lingo.

Mellow Greetings, insert name.

One thing that surprises me is that the police officer mentions early in the film they did a thermal scan.
Surely that would come up in court?
or was the whole situation rigged against him in the first place?

Spoiler in white text.
What if this wasn't the first time Simon Phoenix was used by Perfect World Dude?

I think the movie liked their burning flames a bit much, seem to be the decor in lots of places.
I don't think it represents the present/future, but it did get aspects of it.

I would have "psych sex" with Sandra Bullock in a heartbeat.
