* During "The Cursed Earth" mega-epic, Dredd faces a T-Rex that [[Film/JurassicPark was cloned using reptile eggs and recovered dinosaur DNA for the purposes of a theme park]]. Of course, this makes [[WesternAnimation/TheSimpsons Apu's rant to Principal Skinner]] about UsefulNotes/{{Plagiarism}} even funnier. Double points for the fact the story was written in ''1978.'' Twelve years before Michael Crichton wrote the book version.

* Athletic events allowing (and even encouraging) drugs and cybernetics to an extent is a scathing satire on ambition of athletes and the laziness of putting in the hard work. 2025 is the proposed date for [[https://enhanced.org/ the Enhanced Games]], an Olympics-style event where athletes are encouraged to be juiced up on performance enhancing drugs.

* In the legolambs ''Dredd: The Musical'' song, a Creator/KarlUrban impersonator complains about not getting a sequel, while ''Film/{{Thor}}'' gets one. Now, Urban is playing Skurge in ''Film/ThorRagnarok''.
* Urban's casting as Skurge is hilarious in and of itself, as Skurge is ''also'' known as the Executioner in the comics.



* Slo-Mo is almost identical to [[VideoGame/Fallout4 Jet,]] even though its most recent rendition wasn’t revealed until two years later when ''Fallout 4'' was released.
* This won't be [[Series/TheBoys last time]] Karl Urban plays a gun-toting anti-hero in a live-action adaptation of [[ComicBook/TheBoys a comic]] that Creator/GarthEnnis was involved with.
* Karl Urban playing a character notable for never removing his helmet in public is even better when you consider he dated Creator/KateeSackhoff, who is currently in a show [[Series/TheMandalorian with a protagonist who doesn't remove his helmet in public]]. At one point, Cara Dune even deals with a hostage situation in the same manner Dredd does.

** Ma Ma's death by being shot and thrown from a height would be echoed in [[ComicBook/JudgeDredd the comics]] in the form of PJ Maybe's death.
** In the legolambs ''Dredd: The Musical'' song, a Creator/KarlUrban impersonator complains about not getting a sequel, while ''Film/{{Thor}}'' gets one. Now, Urban is playing Skurge in ''Film/ThorRagnarok''.
** Urban's casting as Skurge is hilarious in and of itself, as Skurge is ''also'' known as the Executioner in the comics.
** A piece of graffiti in the drug den where Kay is arrested looks strikingly similar to the logo of Website/YouTube horror vlogger Shrouded Hand.

Added DiffLines:

[[AC:[[ComicBook/JudgeDredd Comic series]]]]
* The ''Democracy Now'' quote at the top of the page seems a lot less like a convincing argument since Mayor of London, [[CrouchingMoronHiddenBadass Boris Johnson]], rescued a woman from a mugging that he happened upon while [[http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/8340865.stm cycling past]][[note]] Unlike certain other cities, the Mayor of London does not have automatic 24 hour bodyguards, it really was just him riding up[[/note]]. It seems an elected representative can work just fine.
* Judge Janus' first name? [[Series/JudgeJudy Judy]].
* The Justice Department's Chief of Science? Judge [[Series/BillNyeTheScienceGuy Nye]].
* Justice Department's ban on smoking in public areas, barring designated Smokatoriums, is strangely prophetic of the smoking bans that arose around the European Union in the noughties.
* During "The Cursed Earth" mega-epic, Dredd faces a T-Rex that [[Film/JurassicPark was cloned using reptile eggs and recovered dinosaur DNA for the purposes of a theme park]]. Of course, this makes [[WesternAnimation/TheSimpsons Apu's rant to Principal Skinner]] about UsefulNotes/{{Plagiarism}} even funnier. Double points for the fact the story was written in ''1978.'' Twelve years before Michael Crichton wrote the book version.
* Simping seems a lot less unlikely thanks to [[https://www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2016/oct/07/creepy-clown-sightings-craze-speads-britain the Creepy Clown Craze]] of 2016. The term itself also counts, as simping entered the public lexicon in 2020, though is in a different context.
* The League Of Fatties protest marches are a lot more hilarious since the [[https://pics.me.me/berkeley-protest-in-2017-judge-dredd-comic-in-1982-0b-27726714.png Fatties Against Fascism]] protested at Berkeley in 2017.
* ''The Day the Law Died'' has a brief bit in which Cal declares [[Film/ThePurge all crime legal for 24 hours]]. Even better in that story also has Cal's government [[Film/ThePurgeAnarchy massacring citizens]] and [[Film/ThePurgeElectionYear assassinating Cal's opposition]].
* The name of one vigilante featured in the strips (2000ad #442)? [[Franchise/MegaMan Megaman]].

[[AC:[[Film/JudgeDredd The 1995 Movie]]]]
* The unfinished Janus Project clones, with their blue skin and exposed hearts, look a lot like [[VideoGame/ResidentEvil1 Tyrants]].
