General / Off-Topic "Which one has fewer guns?"

[Morbad]

So, it's movie night and, as usual, it's my turn to pick the film we're watching.

While transferring files to a flash drive and shouting out the comparative merits of the torment I am about to inflict...

Me: "Demolition Man is...115 minutes. Judge Dredd...96!"

My wife: "Which one has fewer guns?"

Me: "...HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!111onetwo"

My Wife: "Great..."

This got me thinking.

Which one of these master pieces of 90s American cinema, does actually have fewer guns?

I think I'll try counting them.

Demolition man is a superior commentary on current society. Judge Dredd - dude - he takes off his helmet, that is not permitted.

 

[Chris Simon]

Judge Dredd has fewer guns by number but more shooting, I'd say.

Judge Dredd has taken off his helmet in canon, but his face was in deep shadow. Otherwise exactly right.

Demolition Man was even better than I remembered. Lost count of the number of guns about six minutes in though.

Judge Dredd - dude - he takes off his helmet, that is not permitted.

It's required watching to properly show how much better the 2013 flick with Karl Urban as Dredd is.

And both are required to fully appreciate legolamb's musical:

Context is everything.

Yeah, imo DM is a far better movie than Stallone Dredd.

Demolition Man has Sandra Bullock in it at her prime, so it wins.

Yeah, I was focused on only one part of the screen during that whole movie.

Good point!

And of course the three seashells.
