Brambilla's comment seemed to be against a certain kind of political correctness that would eventually lead to a vital disconnect from what is real. The non-touching sex scene in " Demolition Man" speaks to its criticisms of a polite society run amok, pushed headlong into prudishness. Toilet paper had been replaced by a mysterious device referred to as the "three seashells," and sex had been replaced by a strange VR helmet that could simulate touching without having to come into actual contact.
"Demolition Man" took place in a future where crime had been brought to an end, and society had evolved - or devolved - into a clean and ultra-polite semi-utopia wherein people no longer touched, everyone spoke in a concise and gentle fashion, and nearby machines would issue fines to anyone nearby who let slip a cuss word. It was a notable film for its stars, showcasing Stallone's and Snipes' penchants for action, and offering blockbuster visibility for Bullock, still on the rise in 1993. "Demolition Man" was a high-profile, big-budget studio tentpole that opened at #1 at the box office and made over $159 million worldwide. It's curious, then, that Brambilla's feature film debut should be something as boldly commercial - and as slickly exciting - as the 1993 sci-fi actioner " Demolition Man" starring Sylvester Stallone, Wesley Snipes, and Sandra Bullock.
