On December 17th, the explosive action/sci-fi blockbuster Demolition Man makes its global 4K UHD debut and is also available on Blu-ray. The Limited-Edition release features a brand new 4K restoration from the original 35mm camera negative by Arrow Films, approved by director Marco Brambilla.
The world’s most dangerous criminal wakes up in the future where crime has been eliminated. The only person who can stop him is a nemesis from his past. Simon Phoenix (Wesley Snipes, Blade) and his criminal crew ran afoul of the law back in 1996. LAPD Sergeant John Spartan (Sylvester Stallone, Rocky), a supercop nicknamed "The Demolition Man" for his ability to destroy everything in the name of justice, captured Phoenix, and both men ended up being arrested. Instead of being locked up in prison, the duo was sentenced to a revolutionary Sub-Zero Rehabilitation that involves cryogenic freezing and subliminal messages to change them into model citizens. Phoenix thaws out to meet for his parole hearing in 2032. Dr. Raymond Cocteau (Andre Gregory, My Dinner With Andre) has no clue how dangerous Phoenix is. The felon escapes and has no problem dealing with the cops of the future. The only hope for catching him is to melt the ice on Spartan. The police hope he still has the skills to take on his former enemy. The action is laced with comedy from the time jump experience. Spartan finds himself in a strange world where commercial jingles have replaced songs, and three shells are the new toilet paper. Officer Lenina Huxley (Sandra Bullock, in her breakthrough role), a fan of the ‘90s, helps Spartan adjust while he tracks down Phoenix.
The special features include the international “Pizza Hut” version, an audio commentary with director Marco Brambilla and screenwriter Daniel Waters, two more audio commentaries including director Marco Brambilla and mega-producer Joel Silver, a video essay, video interviews with crew members, theatrical trailer, image gallery, 6 postcard sized artcards, decals, double-sided fold-out poster, and a 50-page perfect bound collectors book with new essays.
