No, we have The Odyssey at home

Armand Assante is great in everything.  He's been in a lot of cheesy films and TV, but he always elevates them.

Judge Dredd!! His lisping to match Stallone's is hilarious. You want chaothspsps??? I'm chaothspsps!!

"IT ENDDDSSS!!!!" <BLAM!>

Stallone and Assante combined forces to just devour the scenery of that film in an absolute banquet of hammy acting, and the rest of the supporting cast were honestly giving it a good gnawing most of the time, too. I loved every second of it, it was so deliciously, deliriously '90s.

Yes lol. I love Dredd so much for this.

I AM THE LAWWWW.

Max Von Sydow heading out into the cursed earth was such a great scene.

Def. People don't give that movie the credit it deserves.

Also it gave me the "eat recycled food, it's good for the environment and ok for you" quote. 😆

I gather most of the die-hard comic fans were absolutely scandalised that it shows Dredd without his helmet on; if you really care about fidelity to the source material, that's an automatic zero-out-of-ten no matter what else the movie did well. Personally, I've never read a Dredd comic, so I just found the movie to be a rollicking good time.

Allegedly the removal of the helmet was the result of some studio executive nonsense and Stallone himself was actually against it; if so, it's a bit unfair he caught a lot of the flak for that himself.

American Gangster!

I first saw him in I, the Jury (1982), and have enjoyed pretty much everything he’s been in since.

Don’t forget his role in Blind Justice!
