They’re on ice until the year 2032, when Phoenix is enabled to escape during a parole hearing. The movie crew just added “gasoline and pyrotechnics” to make its decimation look especially cool.īut after the explosions, and once Spartan captures Phoenix, both characters are cryogenically frozen.

This first scene is very easily stolen by Snipes, who goes full maniac in his role, cackling about missing hostages as he attempts to burn Stallone alive. In a hellish 1996 Los Angeles, Sylvester Stallone’s John Spartan is hunting down Simon Phoenix (Wesley Snipes, of Blade fame). As captured in its opening scene, the famous Hollywood sign in Los Angeles is on fire. Directed by Marco Brambila, Demolition Man starts with a bang.
