Verhoeven had passed on this project until the intervention of his wife and Barbara Boyle encouraged him to look past a seemingly silly title. After reading the script, then dozens of Judge Dredd comics, Verhoeven dove into the film so deeply that he even ended up making a cameo (in the night club).
The film was nominated for a total of eight Razzie Awards, winning five: worst screenplay, worst actor, worst director, worst screen couple, and worst picture, though it lost for worst supporting actor, worst supporting actress, and worst movie of decade.
Joan Cusack plays robot, Alsatia Zevo, which is oddly similar to Bicentennial Man, also starring Williams. The film also features a pre-Halloween H20 and Deep Blue Sea LL Cool J, who not so subtly wishes to engage in coitus with his cousin-robot.
It’s the first week of May, so that kicks off our MAYbe Horror Month; and our first week begins with Ade’s pick, the titular JAWBREAKER.
