Demolition Man

Razes old structures

Demolition Man is a 1993 action film starring Sylvester Stallone as a cop thawed from cryogenic prison in a sanitized future society.

The title refers to his character's reputation for excessive destruction.

More broadly, a demolition man is someone who tears things down—literally in construction work, or figuratively someone known for wreaking havoc: He earned his nickname as the demolition man of corporate takeovers.
