Demolition Man (1993)
This is a Movie Health Community evaluation. It is intended to inform people of potential health hazards in movies and does not reflect the quality of the film itself. The information presented here has not been reviewed by any medical professionals.
Demolition Man has several, varied uses of strong to extreme strobe effects. The most severe strobes happen during a futuristic “sex” scene. Strobe lights are used almost constantly in a sci-fi prison setting, and on board a helicopter near the beginning. Other potential strobe light hazards include machine gun muzzle flashes and sparking bullet impacts, sparks from broken electrical equipment, flickering fluorescent lights, and spinning-style police lights.
The action scenes use a mild handheld camera. There are scenes taking place in moving vehicles and helicopters.
Flashing Lights: 10/10. Motion Sickness: 2/10.
TRIGGER WARNING: Gory violence and aftermaths, including a removed eyeball. We hear a man vomit off-screen immediately after watching a live feed of a violent act.

Mary Astor - The Cameo Girl
Mary Astor (born Lucile Vasconcellos Langhanke in Quincy, Illinois on May 3, 1906 – September 25, 1987) was an American actress of German and Portuguese ethnicity. She was noted for her classic beauty and a renowned profile that earned her the nickname “The Cameo Girl.”
Recognizing her beauty, her parents pushed her into various beauty contests. Luck arrived when she became a runner-up in one of Motion Picture Magazine's photography contests and came to the attention of Harry Durant of Famous Players–Lasky, who helped her get her first Hollywood contract with Paramount in 1920.
Contracts with Warner Bros. and Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer followed, and she worked in film, television, and on stage until her retirement in 1964. She also had a respectable career as a writer. Her 1959 autobiography Mary Astor: My Story was one of the first confessional autobiographies to come out of Hollywood.
Although her career spanned over four decades, she is best remembered for her performance as Brigid O'Shaughnessy in The Maltese Falcon (1941) and concert pianist Sandra Kovak in The Great Lie (1941).
After her retirement in 1964, Astor lived the final years of her life as a resident of the Motion Picture Country House in Woodland Hills, Los Angeles where she succumbed to the effects of respiratory failure due to pulmonary emphysema at the age of 81.
Legacy:
Chosen as one of the WAMPAS Baby Stars in 1926
Won the Academy Award for Best Supporting Actress in 1941
Authored two best-selling books of memoirs, Mary Astor: My Story (1959) and A Life on Film (1971) as well as five fictional novels.
Honored as Turner Classic Movies Star of the Month in March 2014.
Has a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame for her contributions to motion pictures at 6701 Hollywood Boulevard.
