In the wake of “Calexit”, a 90s action classic has new relevance.

Demolition Man is admittedly an incredibly silly film, it stars Sylvester Stallone as a loose cannon cop versus a sociopathic blonde haired Wesley Snipes. What sets it a part from its contemporaries though is its wit and the fresh spin it puts on the dystopian narrative.

The two men literally frozen, Stallone and Snipes, for their present-day violent actions are unthawed in a future California that would be all too horrifying if it wasn’t so frighteningly similar to the 2016 version of the Golden State. At times the film is eerily accurate like predicting Schwarzenegger’s political career and the looming threat of political correctness which has only gotten worse every year since the films release. The movie is 100% spot on about how government on steroids can become a cult like religion. The crux of the plot is that Snipes character, Simon Phoenix, has for some unknown reason been reintroduced to a world that couldn’t be more ill-equipped to handle his form of anachronistic violent behavior. Like his namesake the mythical bird, the villain has risen from the heat produced by the extreme cold of his icy tomb infinitesimally more dangerous than he was before.
