Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Stallone reportedly fought director Danny Cannon constantly over the helmet — he wanted face time, Cannon wanted comic accuracy. The compromise? Helmet off after 25 minutes.
This box office bomb (against its $90 million budget) actually killed Hollywood's interest in 2000 AD properties for nearly 20 years, until 2012's Dredd redeemed the property with Karl Urban's helmet staying ON.
