==In other media== ===Films=== ====''Judge Dredd'' (1995)==== {{Main|Judge Dredd (film)}} An American [[Judge Dredd (film)|film]] loosely based on the comic strip was released in 1995, starring [[Sylvester Stallone]] as Dredd. The film received generally negative reviews. On [[Rotten Tomatoes]] it has a 22% rating, and the site's critical consensus states that "Director [Danny] Cannon fails to find the necessary balance to make it work".<ref>{{cite web |url=https://www.rottentomatoes.com/m/judge_dredd/ |title=Judge Dredd |date=30 June 1995 |work=[[Rotten Tomatoes]] |access-date=2021-10-01 }}</ref> In deference to its expensive Hollywood star, Dredd's face was shown. In the comic, he very rarely removes his helmet, and even then his real face is never revealed. Also, the writers largely omitted the ironic humour of the comic strip, and ignored important aspects of the "Dredd mythology". The co-creator and main writer of the comic character, [[John Wagner]], said: {{blockquote|I hated that plot. It was Dredd pressed through the Hollywood clichΓ© mill, a dynastic power struggle that had little connection with the character we know from the comic.<ref name="2000adreview_John-Wagner-on-Dredd">{{cite web |first=Gavin |last=Hanly |url=http://www.2000adreview.co.uk/site/index.php/Interviews/John-Wagner-on-Dredd.html |title=John Wagner on Dredd |publisher=2000 AD Review |date=19 January 2010 |archive-url = https://web.archive.org/web/20100201230126/http://www.2000adreview.co.uk/site/index.php/Interviews/John-Wagner-on-Dredd.html | archive-date = 1 February 2010 |access-date=27 August 2016}}</ref> }} In retrospect the film received some praise for its depiction of Dredd's city, costumes, humour and larger-than-life characters.<ref>{{cite web |date=May 11, 2017 |last=Trenholm |first=Richard |title=What Stallone's 'Judge Dredd' got right -- and 'Dredd' got wrong |url=https://www.cnet.com/news/judge-dredd-tv-show-mega-city-one-sylvester-stallone-karl-urban-sequel-gaze-into-the-fist/ |website=CNET.com }}</ref> ====''Dredd'' (2012)==== {{main|Dredd}} [[Reliance Entertainment]] produced ''Dredd'', which was released in September 2012.

The main ''Judge Dredd'' writer [[John Wagner]] said: {{blockquote|It's high-octane, edge of the seat stuff, and gives a far truer representation of Dredd than the first movie.<ref name="2000adreview_John-Wagner-on-Dredd"/> }} The film was shot in [[3-D film|3-D]] and filmed in [[Cape Town]] and [[Johannesburg]]. Funding was secured from [[Reliance Big Entertainment]]. ===Television=== On 10 May 2017, ''[[Entertainment Weekly]]'' announced that independent entertainment studio [[Global Road Television Entertainment|IM Global]] and [[Rebellion Developments|Rebellion]] have partnered to develop a live-action TV show called ''Judge Dredd: Mega-City One''. The show is planned to be an ensemble drama about a team of Judges as they deal with the challenges of the future-shocked 22nd century.<ref>{{Cite news|last=Collis|first=Clark|date=20 May 2017|title='Judge Dredd' to Be Turned into TV Show|language=en|work=EW.com|url=https://ew.com/tv/2017/05/10/judge-dredd-tv-show/|access-date=2018-09-10}}</ref><ref>{{Cite news|last=Russel|first=Bradley|date=11 May 2017|title=A Judge Dredd TV show is coming β but it's not the Karl Urban-Netflix series everyone wanted|language=EN-GB|work=gamesradar|url=https://www.gamesradar.com/a-judge-dredd-tv-show-is-coming-but-its-not-the-karl-urban-netflix-series-everyone-wanted/#comment-jump|access-date=2018-09-10}}</ref> Jason Kingsley, owner of [[Rebellion Developments|Rebellion]], told the ''[[The Guardian|Guardian]]'' in May 2017 that the TV show will be far more satirical than the film adaptions and could become "one of the most expensive TV shows the UK has ever seen".<ref>{{Cite news|last=Barnett|first=David|date=2017-05-11|title=Justice served: comic creators announce Judge Dredd TV show|language=en-GB|work=The Guardian|url=https://www.theguardian.com/books/2017/may/11/judge-dredd-mega-city-one-set-to-dispense-tv-justice|access-date=2020-05-31|issn=0261-3077}}</ref> According to [[Karl Urban]], the studio's concept is to "build the show around more rookie judges and young, new judges", where Dredd himself "would come in and out".

A key feature of the game is the different action cards that are collected during play; generally these cards are used when trying to arrest perps although some cards can also be played against other players to hinder their progress. The winner of the game is the judge who collected the most points arresting perps. Players could sabotage each other's arrest attempts. Additionally, there were many amusing card combinations such as arresting Judge Death for selling old comics, as the ''Old Comic Selling'' crime card featured a ''2000 AD'' cover with Judge Death on it. The game used characters, locations and artwork from the comic. It was re-released by Rebellion in 2022. In 1987, Games Workshop published a second Dredd-inspired board game, "[[Block Mania (board game)|Block Mania]]".<ref>{{cite web|url=http://boardgamegeek.com/boardgame/330/block-mania|title=Block Mania β Board Game|work=boardgamegeek.com}}</ref> In this game for two players, players take on the role of rival neighboring blocks at war. This was a heavier game than the earlier Dredd board game, focused on tactical combat, in which players control these residents as they use whatever means they can to vandalize and destroy their opponent's block. Later the same year, Games Workshop released the [[Mega-Mania]] expansion for the game, allowing the game to be played by up to four players. [[Mongoose Publishing]] have released a miniatures skirmish game of gang warfare based in Mega-City One called "Gangs of Mega-City One",<ref>{{Cite web |url=http://www.2000adreview.co.uk/reviews/extra/2005/misc/gangsofmegacity/gangs_of_mega_city.shtml |title= Gangs of Mega-City One|publisher=2000adreview.co.uk | archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20140325120110/http://www.2000adreview.co.uk/reviews/extra/2005/misc/gangsofmegacity/gangs_of_mega_city.shtml |date=25 March 2014 |archive-date= 25 March 2014}}</ref> often referred to as GOMC1.

A wide range of miniatures has been released including box sets for an Ape Gang and an Undercity Gang. A Robot Gang was also produced but was released as two blister packs instead of a box set. Only one rules expansion has been released, called "Death on the Streets". The expansion introduced many new rules including usage of the new gangs and the ability to bring Judge Dredd himself into a fight. This game went out of print shortly thereafter, but was replaced by the "Judge Dredd Miniatures Game", which was published free in many stages as the company sought feedback from fans and players. In 2012, an expansion was released called "Block War!". Miniatures continue to be manufactured at a slow pace. In November 2017, [[Osprey Publishing|Osprey Games]] announced their development of a new graphic adventure card game, entitled ''Judge Dredd: The Cursed Earth''. The game is designed and based on ''The Lost Expedition'', a game from designer Peer Sylvester.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://therewillbe.games/articles-boardgame-reviews/6306-play-matt-judge-dredd-the-cursed-earth-review|title=Play Matt: Judge Dredd: The Cursed Earth Review|last=Thrower|first=Matt|date=2019-01-21|website=There Will Be Games|language=en-GB|access-date=2019-02-19}}</ref> In the game, one to five players "[lead] a team of judges against dinosaurs, mutants, and the Cursed Earth itself".<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://www.dicetowernews.com/osprey-games-announces-judge-dredd-the-cursed-earth/48075|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20171204015340/http://www.dicetowernews.com/osprey-games-announces-judge-dredd-the-cursed-earth/48075|url-status=dead|archive-date=4 December 2017|title=Osprey Games announces Judge Dredd: The Cursed Earth {{!}} Dice Tower News|last=Burbidge|first=Greg|website=www.dicetowernews.com|language=en-US|access-date=2018-09-10}}</ref> It was released on 21 February 2019.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://boardgamegeek.com/boardgame/240957/judge-dredd-cursed-earth|title=Judge Dredd: The Cursed Earth|website=BoardGameGeek|access-date=2019-02-19}}</ref> ====Collectible card game==== There was a short-lived [[collectible card game]] called simply "Dredd". In the game, players would control a squad of judges and arrest perps. The rules system was innovative and the game was well-received by fans and collectors alike, but various issues unrelated to the game's quality caused its early demise.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://boardgamegeek.com/boardgame/6417/dredd-the-collectible-card-game|title=Dredd: The Card Game β Board Game|work=boardgamegeek.com}}</ref> ====Pinball==== {{main|Judge Dredd (pinball)}} There was a four-player pinball game released in 1993, produced by [[Bally Manufacturing]]. ===Audio series=== {{main|Judge Dredd audio dramas}} "[[Judge Cal|The Day the Law Died]]" and "[[The Apocalypse War]]" stories were produced by [[Dirk Maggs]] and broadcast in three-minute segments (40 for each story) on [[Mark Goodier]]'s afternoon show on [[BBC Radio One]] in 1995.

"The Apocalypse War" also contains plot elements from "[[Block Mania]]", because this story set the scene for the main story.
