For a start, the title’s different!  To save confusion.

For a second point, the synopses are different!  Here’s the one for the ‘95 Stallone train-wreck: In a dystopian future, Dredd, the most famous judge is convicted for a crime he did not commit while his murderous counterpart escapes.

Here’s the synopsis for Dredd 3D: In a violent, futuristic city where the police have the authority to act as judge, jury and executioner, a cop teams with a trainee to take down a gang that deals the reality-altering drug, SLO-MO.

See?  Totally different, except for the fact the main character is Judge Dredd!  So can people stop calling Dredd 3D a remake of Judge Dredd?  Dredd 3D is the movie fans wanted in the first place!  It’s not a remake, it’s more like a chance to put things right.  It’s a new story, so I suppose you could class it as a (very) late sequel with a different cast and a different look! 

SO STOP CALLING DREDD 3D A REMAKE OF THE ‘95 JUDGE DREDD MOVIE!!

This issues certainly seems to have got on some peoples’ nerves. Quite right too.

News of the World Sunday - June 25, 1995

Good news: My other Sunday magazine turned up this morning.

Bad news: It didn’t have a Sonic strip in it after all.

Wasn’t a loss though as I was quite intrigued by its replacement… Judge Dredd! Had no idea these existed. Like the Sonic ones, there doesn’t seem to be a lot of info floating about online, although they appear to be based on the 1995 film. Quite an interesting little thing.

Oh my.  I’m glad I watched this.  This is a truly “so bad you need to see it movie”.  It has everything going for it, a future setting, a lead you can’t understand, classic 90s comic sidekick, a nonsensical script, it’s pretty much perfect.  Take a listen to the How Did This Get Made podcast, it’s why I watched this, and they cover everything I could think of.  SPAGHETTI ROBOT.

There is now a fancy Blu-Ray edition coming out in time for the Dredd movie.

Comparison between the Dredd’s. Like Stallone’s shoulder pads more, but Karl Urban has the perfect Dredd Helmet… The new bulletproof looking leather armour is nice as well. Suits Dredd well but if I was picky Stallone has the more close to the comic version of the outfit. Which do I like better? Well both have their draw backs… Stallone’s is more canonically correct but is also extremely dated looking. Helmet wise he looks like a Power Ranger. Urban’s outfit is more protective but makes him look small and not very intimidating due to the lack of huge shoulder pads. However he has the correct look for the helmet. That’s not to say I don’t like the new Dredd but he does look different and more average compared to the incredibly huge Judge from the comics. Acting-wise: This is a tough one I can’t pre-judge Urban’s acting based on a trailer but he sounds quieter and less meat-headed than Stallone. Whether that’s a good or bad thing we’ll have to wait and see. Stallone has the original booming Dredd voice and it works for Dredd’s character however Dredd has always been a character without a dedicated voice. I don’t believe there has ever been a cartoon which means that it’s often been imagined by fans of the series alike. Regardless I really look forward to seeing Dredd. Right now I prefer old Dredd for the Shoulder pads alone but things need to evolve and who knows maybe the new Dredd’s outfit may become a new uniform for Dredd in the comics. Either way it’s a face off.
