It&#8217;s one of the few films that really [holds] up, and it is almost close to happening,&#8221; Stallone said, referring to the state of the world as depicted in the movie, which he went on to describe as &#8220;the gentle-ization of society, everything&#8217;s so meek.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">In <em>Demolition Man<\/em>, Stallone plays Det. John Spartan, who is brought out of a suspended-animation prison to help catch an old and very violent nemesis (played by Wesley Snipes) who has escaped his own cryogenic incarceration in a future society that&#8217;s nonviolent to a fault.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"relative mb-4\">\n<div class=\"relative\"><button aria-label=\"View larger image\" class=\"group absolute bottom-3 right-3 size-10 md:size-[50px] lg:inset-0 lg:size-full lg:bg-transparent\" data-ylk=\"elm:expand;itc:1;sec:image-lightbox;slk:lightbox-open;\"><span class=\"absolute bottom-0 right-0 rounded-full bg-white p-3 opacity-100 shadow-elevation-3 transition-opacity duration-300 group-hover:block group-hover:opacity-100 md:p-[17px] lg:bottom-6 lg:right-6 lg:bg-white\/90 lg:p-5 lg:opacity-0 lg:shadow-none\"><svg viewbox=\"0 0 22 22\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"size-4 lg:size-6\" width=\"22\" height=\"22\"><path d=\"M12.372.92c0-.506.41-.916.915-.916L21 0l-.004 7.712a.917.917 0 0 1-1.832 0V3.183l-6.827 6.828-1.349-1.348 6.828-6.828h-4.529a.915.915 0 0 1-.915-.915M1.835 17.816l6.828-6.828 1.349 1.349-6.829 6.827h4.529a.915.915 0 0 1 0 1.831L0 21l.004-7.713a.916.916 0 0 1 1.831 0z\"\/><\/svg><\/span><\/button><dialog aria-label=\"Modal Dialog\" aria-modal=\"true\" class=\"fixed inset-0 z-4 size-full max-h-none max-w-none bg-white hidden\"\/><\/div><figcaption class=\"relative text-sm mt-1 pr-2.5\">\n<div style=\"max-height:none;overflow:visible\">\n<p>Snap\/Shutterstoc<\/p>\n<p> Sylvester Stallone in &#8216;Demolition Man&#8217;<\/p><\/div>\n<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">&#8220;I thought it was just very, very contemporary,&#8221; Stallone said, adding that he ran into the film&#8217;s director, Marco Brambilla\u00a0in New York recently. &#8220;I thought it was really well done.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">Stallone also gave his costar Snipes his flowers for creating a &#8220;very memorable&#8221; baddie in the film. &#8220;Wesley was wild,&#8221; he recalled. &#8220;He&#8217;s a wild man, very energetic, good fighter. When we were doing kicks there were some of these, like a plate here, so he could really lay into me, and I could feel it and it was good.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">He continued, &#8220;But Wesley, he really dug down there and gave a very memorable character. [He did] things with his hair and his voice and he was good. He was at the top of his game then.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">Stallone also gave kudos to the production design team, who built a practical set for some of the movie&#8217;s biggest moments. The actor, no stranger to stunts in his action-heavy career, added that <em>Demolition Man<\/em> contained the &#8220;two most dangerous stunts&#8221; he&#8217;s &#8220;ever done.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">One involved his character being grabbed by a giant metal claw and flung around. &#8220;That giant claw, sometimes the hydraulics would go sideways, and the strength of those metal claws would tear you up,&#8221; he recalled.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">The other involved him being cryogenically frozen. &#8220;When they froze me originally, they put me in this round tub, thick plexiglass, you couldn&#8217;t break it with a sledgehammer,&#8221; Stallone explained. &#8220;And they started pouring in warm oil, and it&#8217;s filling up, filling up to [my mouth]\u2026 If it goes longer than 30 seconds, it&#8217;s gonna go to [above my nose], and you can&#8217;t get out &#8217;cause the lid was bolted on.&#8221;<\/p>\n<figure class=\"relative mb-4\">\n<div class=\"relative\"><img alt=\"Moviestore\/Shutterstock Sylvester Stallone in 'Demolition Man'\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"960\" height=\"640\" decoding=\"async\" data-nimg=\"1\" class=\"rounded-lg\" style=\"color:transparent\" src=\"https:\/\/s.yimg.com\/ny\/api\/res\/1.2\/g_jpzgnGI2OXNNMdI9eD.w--\/YXBwaWQ9aGlnaGxhbmRlcjt3PTk2MDtoPTY0MDtjZj13ZWJw\/https:\/\/media.zenfs.com\/en\/entertainment_weekly_785\/e0d93759ad666843fb2b58cfd48cb0cd\"\/><button aria-label=\"View larger image\" class=\"group absolute bottom-3 right-3 size-10 md:size-[50px] lg:inset-0 lg:size-full lg:bg-transparent\" data-ylk=\"elm:expand;itc:1;sec:image-lightbox;slk:lightbox-open;\"><span class=\"absolute bottom-0 right-0 rounded-full bg-white p-3 opacity-100 shadow-elevation-3 transition-opacity duration-300 group-hover:block group-hover:opacity-100 md:p-[17px] lg:bottom-6 lg:right-6 lg:bg-white\/90 lg:p-5 lg:opacity-0 lg:shadow-none\"><svg viewbox=\"0 0 22 22\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"size-4 lg:size-6\" width=\"22\" height=\"22\"><path d=\"M12.372.92c0-.506.41-.916.915-.916L21 0l-.004 7.712a.917.917 0 0 1-1.832 0V3.183l-6.827 6.828-1.349-1.348 6.828-6.828h-4.529a.915.915 0 0 1-.915-.915M1.835 17.816l6.828-6.828 1.349 1.349-6.829 6.827h4.529a.915.915 0 0 1 0 1.831L0 21l.004-7.713a.916.916 0 0 1 1.831 0z\"\/><\/svg><\/span><\/button><dialog aria-label=\"Modal Dialog\" aria-modal=\"true\" class=\"fixed inset-0 z-4 size-full max-h-none max-w-none bg-white hidden\"\/><\/div><figcaption class=\"relative text-sm mt-1 pr-2.5\">\n<div style=\"max-height:none;overflow:visible\">\n<p>Moviestore\/Shutterstock<\/p>\n<p> Sylvester Stallone in &#8216;Demolition Man&#8217;<\/p><\/div>\n<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\"><strong><em>Get your daily dose of entertainment news, celebrity updates, and what to watch with\u00a0our\u00a0<a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/ew.com\/ew-dispatch-newsletter-11812417\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" data-ylk=\"slk:EW Dispatch newsletter;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas\" class=\"link \">EW Dispatch newsletter<\/a>.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">He continued, &#8220;I had a couple of fellas that were sitting there with sledgehammers and hatchets.
