Dredd picture

Trivia: Dredd's face is never shown during the film. This is consistent with the comic strips in which Dredd is almost never shown without his helmet and, on the rare occasions when he is, his face is obscured in some other way. Fans were critical of the 1995 Judge Dredd film for the fact that Dredd spent much of the time with his helmet off and his face exposed.
