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.

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

Sorry, that second American should read Non-American. (I didn't want to use foriegn because not everybody reading would be American.)

I wonder why they change seemingly insignificant things like that?

Who knows???

It's not what you say, it's how you say it.

Pizza Hut is all over the world.  Taco Bell doesn't have that kind of distribution. International audiences wouldn't recognize the name and as a result, the jokes wouldn't have much meaning there.

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"
