If we ever do a “Greatest Scifi Motorcycle Chases” post, this sequence from Judge Dredd will totally make the cut. The flying motorcycles zooming over Megacity One are pretty well realized, and the whole scene is more kinetic and non-stop than the Fifth Element cop chase. I’m not even going to comment on Judge Dredd teaching the whiny guy about cocking, and the fact that they fly through a giant “NUTS” sign. If you don’t compare the Dredd movie to the Dredd comic, it actually turns out to be a pretty amazing scifi action film. Just ignore the Nordic subtitles — our copy is an elite import.
