How can they make a Judge Dredd movie without Rob Schneider?

LOL, the 90's Judge Dredd would have been at least passable if you removed Rob Schneider from it, and if Stallone had kept the helmet on. Stallone claims he wanted to, but the producers insisted, they paid all that money for him to be in it, so they wanted the audience to be able to see his face.

Lon, check out the new issue of Empire. Dredd is on the cover. Can't wait for that one.

Well, I wouldn't consider the new one a remake because the first one, with Stallone? That wasn't Judge Dredd. I don't know what the hell that was.

The new one stars Karl Urban and is looking promising. I'll be checking it out.

If you can imagine that.
I was a big comic book nerd growing up and used to love Howard the Duck (he's an expert in the martial art of Quack Fu, dontcha know), so naturally in my early teens I was super excited to see this flick. That was a mistake.
To this day, I cringe a little every time I watch a Leah Thompson movie. Yeah, even Some Kind of Wonderful.

That's how I felt about Tank Girl (and Judge Dredd). I grew up loving those comics and to see them put to such shame...disappointing. Howard the Duck was kind of the same for me. Also, that movie was PG and they show duck tits? Really? That's disturbing for anyone.

I love this film and I'm not afraid to say, it scared the freaking hell out of me. When Dr. Jenning (Jeffrey Jones) begins to change... Haven't seen it for years, really must get this on DVD, even though the thought of Dr. Jennings still freaks me out. How in the heck was this PG!?
