Those are the kind of bonkers choices that made " The Fifth Element " so gloriously memorable two years later, and it's the kind of absurdity that the Dredd movie sorely lacks.

In the version of where Owen Krysler took over, Dredd was killed and then resurrected as a zombie slave. This zombie was accidentally brought back in time and would eventually 'wake up' to rampage across Luna Dread Dominion depicted a timeline where Joe shot Rico dead instead of taking him alive: the trauma led to him becoming increasingly more violent and to read voraciously in the hope of replacing the 'bleeding heart' Chief Judge Goodman, who he saw as weak.

He also renamed himself "Dread", wearing his brother's old badge where the bullet went through the second "E" This resulted in him subjugating Mega-City Three in the s civil war, becoming Deputy Chief Judge and conquering Mega-City Two in , and then allowing Judge Cal to take over so he could 'save' the city and become Chief Judge.
