Sylvester Stallone believes demolition man from 1993 is the one that has aged the best of all his films.
The 79-year-old acting legend played Detective John Spartan, who is released from a suspended animation prison, CryoPrison, in 2032 to hunt down a violent old enemy named Simon Snipes (Wesley Snipes), a psychopathic killer.
Breaking down his numerous big screen roles with GQsaid Stallone of demolition man: “I think it was a great movie. It’s one of the few movies that really [holds] and it is almost about to happen.”
“[It’s] the gentilization of society, everything is so tame. I thought it was very, very contemporary. “I thought it was very well done,” he mentioned.
Stallone also praised Snipes for creating a “very memorable” villain in Demolition man.
He first blood The actor added: “Wesley was wild. He’s a wild man, very energetic, good fighter. When we were kicking, there were some of these, like a plate here, so he could really hit me and I could feel it, and it was good.”
Stallone continued: “But Wesley really dug deep 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,” the rambo said the star.
Stallone then expressed his gratitude to the production team of the film directed by Marco Brambilla and relived the “two most dangerous stunts” he “has ever done.”
He recalled: “That giant claw, sometimes the hydraulics would twist and the force of those metal claws would tear you apart.”
And another stunt was where his alter ego would be cryogenically frozen – when corpses are frozen at low temperatures in the hope of a future resurgence – where “hot oil” would be filled around him in a “thick round plexiglass tub.”
Stallone recalled, “When they originally froze me, they put me in this round, thick plexiglass tub that couldn’t be broken with a sledgehammer.”
“And they began to pour warm oil, and it filled, filling until [my mouth] …If it lasts more than 30 seconds, it will go to [above my nose]and you can’t get out because the lid was screwed on,” he recalled.
He Rocky The talent added: “I had a couple of guys who were sitting there with sledgehammers and axes. And I said, now that the scene was over, ‘Why don’t you try to open it?'”
“And of course they hit it 20 times and couldn’t break it. So it was crazy,” Sylvester Stallone concluded.
