	Movies - Judge Dredd

"Judge Dredd" is a 1995 action film based on the Judge Dredd strip in the British comic 2000 AD.

Fans critical of this film, regarded it as a failure. Certain elements of the film were altered from the comic series, but it still did not find wide mainstream appeal. Stallone won the 1995 Golden Raspberry Award for Worst Actor based on his work in this film and Assassins.

The film received an MPAA rating of R for continuous violent action. It was in color with Dolby digital sound.

Taglines: "One man is Judge, Jury, AND Executioner." and "In the future, one man is the law."

Plot

Judge Joseph Dredd (Stallone) is a street judge in a violent future world. He becomes convicted of a crime he did not commit by his main enemy Rico (Assante), and, aided by a prisoner that he previously helped to convict, attempts to clear his name. Dredd is also assisted by a Judge Fargo (von Sydow) for some time.

The film contains several elements that are at odds with the comic series: the face of Judge Dredd is shown in deference to the film's expensive star; a love interest is allowed to develop between Dredd and Judge Hershey (Diane Lane), something that is strictly forbidden between Judges in the comic strip, and the movie is largely missing the ironic humour of the original strip.
