Thing is, Stallone actually had the potential to be quite a decent Dredd (given a bit of editing work to make him a bit taller). The jaw's OK, and his usual monosyllabic grunt would have been bang on. Just which dolt wrote that awful script, aand then why the hell did they allow him to think he could act?

"Why?"
That should be the only, and 100% accurate, IMDb entry for this clunker.
The whole nuclear armageddon "Apocalypse War" storyline of would have been awesome for a trilogy... Block Mania, Apocalypse War, and then something non-canon with the Dark Judges - sort of a post-apocalyptic Necropolis.
That's my 2000ad wet dream.

The plan with the movies, if 'Dredd' works, is to introduce Judge Death in the next one.
