Revision as of 08:32, 12 October 2012
Cool page
Just a reminder. How about some descriptions in the screencaps? Just don't forget them. Nothing is more irritating than a screencap with NO explanation as to who is doing what with what gun.. :D Just a reminder. MoviePropMaster2008
- Will add them today, just wanted to get the core of the page up last night. They won't be particularly insightful, as this is all from the trailer so will be generic shit like "Dredd fires his pistol" but is better than nothing I suppose. --commando552 04:25, 22 June 2012 (CDT)
Lawgiver
I believe the lawgiver in this movie might be a Vektor CP1. I was looking at one of the screencaps, and i noticed the tell-tale handle of the CP1. Since it was made in south africa, not a stretch, but we'll have to wait and see. spartanlord91
Looking at this production pic its a Glock variant. Think it should go on the main page? --Sidewinder Forge 08:59, 22 June 2012 (CDT)
- Thanks for the pic. A Glock of some sort was my guess from the general grip shape in the picture where he is launching the rocket, but that confirms it. However I wouldn't put it on the main page as that looks like it isn't an officially released picture but rather a possibly unauthorised picture that someone has randomly taken on set. As to what specific variant it is, the grip makes it either a 17 or 19 (assuming it is a 9mm). --commando552 11:04, 22 June 2012 (CDT)
- According to an article in Empire, it's a "modified, blank-firing Glock 19".--Mandolin 22:07, 26 August 2012 (CDT)
- What makes you say a 17 rather than the 19 mentioned in the magazine article? The closest I have seen to a picture of the gun itself without the shroud is the 3D render of it in the BTS "Gear" video, where it looks more like a Glock 19. --commando552 (talk) 12:39, 21 September 2012 (EDT)
- The guns in question are Glock 17's Gen 3 that have been modified to shoot full auto. Two of my friend were part of the cast Paul Hampshire and Dan Hirst. Now Paul was Karl Urban's stunt and body double. So he fired those guns. The casing that went over the Glocks plus the insane heat wave in December 2010 when they shot here in Cape Town on location actually made the frames melt/deform and malfunction when firing multiple mags of full auto. Hard to believe about Glocks but the casing of the guns didn't allow for the normal cooling of the gun. So they had to modify the casing to make it cool the gun a bit better. --potentpoefie (talk) 10:31, 12 October 2012 (GMT+2)
Judge Dredd
Can you please also not forget to make a reference to Judge Dredd? Until I saw your entry in IMFDB, I was not aware of this new 2012 installment and it would be nice to know how it fits in with the earlier movie. Watched Judge Dredd on video (!) ages ago and it will take a lot to beat Sylvester "I am the Leuw" Stallone, --PeeWee055 05:08, 22 June 2012 (CDT)
From what I've read the film-makers are doing all they can to distance themselves and this film from the Stallone one. The first film was supposedly pretty much considered the worst thing ever by fans of 2000AD. Critics also largely hated it, and it was considered a commercial failure. So I guess this is more of a "reboot". Jimmoy 05:58, 22 June 2012 (CDT)
in the version with stallone the used beretta 93R in an futeristic shroud to give it that mega city 1 look but a a fan of 2000 ad it is best left forgotten so bad it was that the comics owners have thrown v large spanners into the works so any other "adaptations" dont turn out horrible--Seekerdude 16:27, 22 June 2012 (CDT)
"Video"? What kind of pagan blasphemy is this, PeeWee?! Spartan198 00:24, 20 July 2012 (CDT)
Fictionalised Minigun
In the trailer you see a brief close up of what I think is supposed to be one of the balcony miniguns. You're looking down along the side of the barrel cluster at the delinker/motor area - this does appear to be at least modeled on a real minigun. Here at 2:11 - 2:12 http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=PifvRiHVSCY --Sidewinder Forge 13:24, 22 June 2012 (CDT)
Reminds me of The Raid
The basic plot sounds like The Raid Redemption. LEO types storming a large apartment full of drug dealers, get trapped inside and now fight to get to the top Excalibur01 22:06, 19 July 2012 (CDT)
- But the difference is that Dredd was in pre-production before The Raid was and they actually released the plot of Dredd before The Raid started production if I remember correctly. --cool-breeze (talk) 12:59, 1 October 2012 (EDT)
- The director of The Raid, Gareth Evans, even noted the similarities and reportedly rushed the post-production to get his film out earlier. --Markit (talk) 16:39, 1 October 2012 (EDT)
- Which is annoying as hell because Dredd is far superior. --cool-breeze (talk) 17:59, 1 October 2012 (EDT)

Anderson's psychological abilities
Any idea if these will be included in the film? Spartan198 23:25, 26 August 2012 (CDT)
- I saw a featurette about the film and there was a brief mention about how the recruit he is with has psychic abilities, so I think so. --commando552 11:34, 27 August 2012 (CDT)
lawgiver bts
http://screenrant.com/dredd-2012-costume-weapons-featurette/
behind the scenes vid shows how the Lawgiver is put together around a glock.
Weapons identified in theaters
I definitely saw a Saiga 12 shotgun used by one of the other Judges (the black one), covered by a futuristic shell with the stock removed. I tagged it by the AK-style receiver and extended charging handle.
What else did y'all see?
--22SEP2012 Cutter9792
I saw a Vektor CR-21 in the Hall of Justice at the beginning, random Glocks, the thug in the car chase has a BXP (not a Micro Uzi). Ma-Ma's room had an AUG, a Micro Uzi on the bed, an R4/R5, and random pistols. One of the thugs in the flashbang scene had a Paratrooper SAW. --Mandolin (talk) 16:47, 28 September 2012 (EDT)
