Title: Demolition Man Post by: Ulrich on March 22, 2003, 01:22:49 PM Hi, I am new here after having viewed to site for quite a while.
Anyway, I have a question about Demolition Man. I have just bought the DVD from a shop here in Germany and while watching it found that the restaurant that Sly and Sandra are invited to is called Pizza Hut. When I first viewed this movie in New Zealand, when it was released, I am sure that the restaurant was a Taco Bell. Is this correct and if so can any one give me information about the name change in this DVD. Title: Re: Demolition Man Post by: SkullNinja on March 22, 2003, 03:38:32 PM It was Taco Bell in the American release, but in some of the American releases, they changed it to Pizza Hut for marketting reasons.
Here it is on the IMDB http://us.imdb.com/Trivia?0106697 Title: Re: Demolition Man Post by: SkullNinja on March 22, 2003, 03:39:46 PM Sorry, that second American should read Non-American. (I didn't want to use foriegn because not everybody reading would be American.)

Title: Re: Demolition Man Post by: Ash on March 23, 2003, 07:40:41 AM I wonder why they change seemingly insignificant things like that?
Who knows??? Title: Re: Demolition Man Post by: Gerry on March 24, 2003, 01:34:31 PM ASHTHECAT wrote:

International audiences wouldn't recognize the name and as a result, the jokes wouldn't have much meaning there. Title: Re: Demolition Man Post by: Fearless Freep on March 24, 2003, 02:04:22 PM Given that both Pizza Hut and Taco Bell are also owned by the same company, they probably didn't mind take who got the mention.
But I don't know if Pizza Hut has the same sort of international reputation as Taco Bell does in the U.S. As a co-worker used to say "Taco Bell...it's cheaper than food" |
