Lambasé by criticism and does not like by the public, the 1995 film won 113.5 million dollars in the world box office against a budget of $ 90 million and is obviously absent from the lists of the best films in Stallone.
On his credit, Stallone did not try to bury her futuristic flop. Instead, he is known to discuss the film when the opportunity requests. In 2006, the star tackled some of the questions that “Dredd Judge” had by answering fans questions for This is not a new cool::
“I think that, from what I remember, the whole project was disturbed from the start. The philosophy of the film was not in stone-on this subject,” Is it going to be a serious drama or with comic connotations like other science fiction films that have succeeded? communication.”
Stallone was in fact just as disappointed with the failure of the film to capture the atmosphere of the emblematic series of comics of Dystopian 2000 AD as fans. During a 2008 press tour for “Rambo” (via Digital spy), he said downright that he considered the film his worst professional scalp:

Stallone considers Judge Dredd an excellent example of an “inhuman” film
Many of the greatest films by Sylvester Stallone are very focused on the characters.

In this 1996 interview, Stallone also admitted that his career between “First Blood” (1982) and “Judge Dredd” strongly turned to what he considers “Gimmickry”, so it is not as if the 1995 science fiction flop is the only film he takes up in this case. Fortunately, his CV post-19996 brought us many fine films that put Stallone in the foreground-and in 1993, he even exorcised some of these ghosts of “judge Dredd” when he played in a much more entertaining science fiction action film “.
