Fascinating aside on Demolition Man: some versions have all restaurants as Pizza Hut rather than Taco Bell [1]. The version I saw as a kid was Pizza Hut, so when I said “in the future all restaurants are Pizza Hut”, a friend said “you mean Taco Bell” and we both learned something :).

> For some non-American releases, references to Taco Bell were changed to Pizza Hut. This includes dubbing, plus changing the logos during post-production. Taco Bell remains in the closing credits. In the Swedish release the subtitles still use Taco Bell while the sound and picture has been altered as above. The original version released in Australia (on VHS) contained Taco Bell, yet the newer version on DVD was changed both in logo and dubbing to Pizza Hut (in the scene where the restaurant patrons are looking through the glass windows to the fight scene outside, Taco Bell can be seen etched into the glass, even in the modified version).

Indeed, in my youth I downloaded a version that had this and I was alarmed at first. Some further research showed that it was an international release as Pizza Hut has a broader brand globally. The scene in San Angles where Westley Snipes attacks a bunch of police and he learns of his programming was filmed in Irvine, CA. I've got a few photos of the location and now would be a good time to take some shots since it isn't as busy. Also tripped out that the Mall scene in Kindergarten Cop was shot at the Main Place Mall in Santa Ana.
