That's why she can command a tribe, has a thing for violence and was driven to a rage when sexually abused.

* Well, if the [[ComicBook/JudgeDredd original comics]] are are any indication, Mega City One is extremely oppressive nanny/police state, in which even things such as sugar, caffeine, synthetic caffeine, comic books, and video game consoles are outlawed, and a massive black market was created around the sells of those things as a result. The judges system was clearly not how a healthy and functional society is supposed to operate.

Does Slo-mo even have any negative effects? If not, why isn't it a perfectly legal drug?? Slo-mo just seems to slow down your perception of time. While that may affect your driving of a vehicle (like in the beginning) there are perfectly legitimate drugs whose warning labels tell you not to operate machinery etc while using them, and drink driving is obviously prohibited and policed appropriately (as Dredd was doing at the beginning before the Perps ran over someone).

If Slo-mo has no negative effects other than its effect on users of machinery, then why is it prohibited??? More to the point- since 95% of people in Megacity one are unemployed, wouldn't it be a perfect drug, such as alcohol, for people to while away their time if it was legal?

I mean come on. We never saw the body , he [[spoiler: lost an arm and a leg.]] We know half his face could have needed some serious work from the smackdown [[spoiler: Anderson]] gave him. Wouldn't be surprised a new big Bad needing a [[{{TheDragon}} new Enforcer]] who would want some serious payback. Would'nt lay down the credits to [[spoiler: turn him to the slice n dice Cyborg]] that we know and love.

Specifically, a pre-cog. Anderson's career path has clearly been smoothed by someone high up, and the Chief Judge seems somewhat proud and protective of her. At the end when Dredd says she's a pass, the Chief Judge replies cryptically, "Knew she would be." You know, as if she'd foreseen it.

* Given that this happened with Galen Demarco in [[Comicbook/JudgeDredd the original comics]], it's plausible. That version of Anderson had previously fallen in love with a Sov bloc judge, which adds further credence to that theory.

* Well, it's shown to drokk up your teeth pretty bad. And considering how new the drug is, it apparently doesn't take much time at all to give you a serious case of meth-mouth. It probably has more serious effects later on down the line, but it's still too new of a drug to see what those effects are.

Added DiffLines:

* Slo-Mo is stated to be relatively new, so the long term effects are still unknown, especially considering that it's manufactured in an underground lab, as opposed to a pharmaceutical corporation. Given that, assuming this version of the Big Meg is as stringent as the original comics, everyday items such as sugar and caffeine are illegal, of course a mind-altering psychotropic drug would be illegal.

He is unfailingly moral, he saves her life on multiple occasions, stiches her wounds, and passes her despite her pointing out she'd committed an automatic fail. Not to mention, when in traumatic situations, people form bonds to those who suffer with them and those who save them, both of which apply to Dredd after Peach Trees. Add in her emotional openness and relative naivete, and Anderson falling in love with him is a perfectly human reaction.

First we have ''Film/TheWarriors'' set in New York City, complete with [[GangOfHats Gangs Of Hats]], skyrocketing crime rate and police unable to cope. New York is abandoned, the USPF is set up and we have ''Film/EscapeFromNewYork''. The USPF is given more and more powers until they become the judges and the war rages on until most of America is wiped out and Mega City One is built on the remains. Of course, this is if you take ''Film/EscapeFromLA'' as FanonDiscontinuity.

It can be argued that the inability of the Justice Department to approve Slo-mo as a general purpose stimulant, or a reflexive assumption that any drug must be prohibited, has caused Dredd's inconvenient day (and the deaths of hundreds at least).
