The Three Plisskens are laying down the laaaaaaaaaw with our review of Judge Dredd.
Fergie, or “Shut up” as we called him, (played by Rob Schneider) because every time he said a joke, we yelled shut up. Well - he hides in a robot, and is caught by one Joseph Dredd (Sly) who sends him to jail. Then thankfully we don’t hear from Mr. Fergie for awhile and all is well in the world.
But uh oh - Judge Dredd is framed for murder by Rico (Armand Assante {of Citizen Verdict fame and nothing else}). He is sent to Aspen Jail and guess who he’s seated next to….ol’ Shut Up himself. But their plane is shot down by inbred religious cannibals. Dredd and Fergie are then captured by these folks. They eventually are saved by Dredd’s former mentor, Judge Fargo (Max Von Sydow) who is mortally wounded and tells Joe that not only was he created in a lab as a super soldier/cop, he also has a brother! Gasp! Who could be this mysterious, vaguely Italian, mush-mouthed brother? Surprise! It’s his former partner that he judged and sent to Aspen Jail…RICO (Suave).
After learning of this devasting news, little Joe J. Dredd and Shut Up must break back into the Mega City to clear Dredd’s name and stop Rico from taking over Mega City 1.
Bada Bing Bang Boom, Dredd and Shut Up track down Rico at the Statue of Liberty and find a lab that mass produces Baby Dredds! Mr. Dredd and Mr. Rico briefly talk about the laaaaaaaaaaaw and who and who may not be the laaaaaaaaaw!
After all that powerful dialogue and spit, Dredd and Rico fight at the Statue of Liberty. Rico passes away after Dredd says “Court’s Adjourned” and drops him to his doom.
Dredd has saved the day and Shut Up was useless and worthless. What a movie!
