SciFi, action, tongue-in-cheek, cheesy 90s.

There are a few writing flaws and silly scenes (eg: storming in the building alone, using a plastic cover instead of fabric garment) and even plot holes (come on! sentence the police that caught the killer psychopath!?), but the true beauty of this film is the prescient tongue-in-cheek satire it tells. And in the year 2020, in a certain way, it feels very close to it. We're transforming into a world of cucks and simps. Obsessed with political correctness and supposed moral righteousness, and enforcing it to everyone, not realizing that that is eroding personal freedoms away.

HUXLEY: Smoking is not good for you. And it's been deemed that anything not good for you is bad. Hence, illegal. Alcohol, caffeine, contact sports, meat--
SPARTAN: Are you shitting me?
COMPUTER: "John Spartan, you are fined one credit for violation of the verbal-morality statute"
SPARTAN: What the hell is that?
COMPUTER: "John Spartan, you are fined one credit...."
HUXLEY: Bad language... chocolate, gasoline, uneducational toys and anything spicy. Abortion is also illegal, but then again so is pregnancy if you don't have a license.
WARDEN: Caveman, let's finish with the Rip Van Winkle and get moving.

WARDEN: Our Mr. Phoenix has risen from the ashes.
SPARTAN: I tracked that dirtbag for two years... and when I finally bring him down you turn me into an ice cube for my trouble. Thanks, but no thanks.

OFFICER: They seem to be friends, yet... he speaks to him in the most profane manner.
HUXLEY: If you'd read my study, you'd know this is how insecure heterosexual males used to bond.
OFFICER: I knew that.

WARDEN: While you were sleeping everyone in the city was installed a code. It was a brilliant idea by Dr. Cocteau. An organically bio-engineered microchip is sewn into the skin. Sensors all over the city can zero in on anyone at any time. I can't even conceive a visual of what you police officers did before it was developed.
SPARTAN: We worked for a living. This fascist crap makes me want to puke.

HUXLEY: Vir-sex has been proved to produce higher orders of alpha waves during digitised transference of sexual energies.
SPARTAN: All right Huxley, what do you say we do it the old-fashioned way?
HUXLEY: Ugh, disgusting! You mean... fluid transfer?
SPARTAN: No, I mean boning, the wild mambo, the hunka chunka.
HUXLEY: That is no longer done. The exchange of bodily fluids, do you know what that leads to?
SPARTAN: Yes, I do. Kids, smoking, desire to raid the fridge.
HUXLEY: The rampant exchange of bodily fluids was one of the major reasons for the downfall of society. After AIDS, there was NRS, after NRS there was UBT. One of the first things that Dr. Cocteau was able to do was to outlaw... and behaviorally engineer all fluid transfer out of socially acceptable behavior. Not even, not even a mouth transfer's condoned.
SPARTAN: Kissing's not allowed? Ah. Damn, I was a good kisser.
HUXLEY: Ughh!
SPARTAN: All right, what about kids?
HUXLEY: Procreation?
SPARTAN: Yeah.
HUXLEY: We go to a lab. Fluids are purified, screened... and transferred by authorized medical personnel only. It is the only legal way. What're you doing?
SPARTAN: Breaking the law.
HUXLEY: You are a savage creature, John Spartan. And I wish you to leave my domicile, now!

FRIENDLY: See... according to Cocteau's plan... I'm the enemy because I like to think. I like to read. I'm into freedom of speech and freedom of choice. I'm the kind of guy who likes to sit in a greasy spoon... and wonder, "Gee, should I have the T-Bone steak or the jumbo rack of barbecued ribs with a side order of gravy fries?" I want high cholesterol. I want to eat bacon, and butter and buckets of cheese, okay? I want to smoke a Cuban cigar the size of Cincinnati in the non-smoking section. I want to run through the streets naked with green Jell-o all over my body... reading Playboy magazine. Why? Because I suddenly might feel the need to, okay pal? I've seen the future. You know what it is? It's a 47-year-old virgin sitting around his beige pijamas... drinking a banana-broccoli shake and singing "I'm an Oscar Meyer Wiener". Live up top, you live Cocteau's way. What he wants, when he wants, how he wants. Your other choice? Come down here. Maybe starve to death.

COCTEAU: I hadn't counted on this but I must say, you worked out beautifully. People are terrified of you.
PHOENIX: What's new? People have always been terrified of me.
COCTEAU: Yes, but this time they're really intimidated. Now... I'll have carte blanche to create the perfect society. My society. San Angeles will be a beacon of order... with the purity of an ant colony. And the beauty of a flawless pearl.
PHOENIX: Look, you can't take away people's right to be assholes. ... That's who you remind me of... an evil Mr. Rogers. Will you please kill him? He's pissing me off.
