I think the 1995 version was the first film. Regardless, I'll do a summation of the villain's (Rico Dredd) crimes, for your consideration and my future reference.

-Breaks out of prison by shooting the warden and murdering two guards before making his escape

-Raids a shop, kills the owner, and takes the "Lawgiver" pistol as well as a previously non-functional battle robot

-Teams up with Griffin, a Judge who wants to establish a new, firmer order of law on the Mega City, to use a series of clones from the Janus project and take over the city

-Causes panic and fear in the streets first by murdering Hammond, someone critical of Dredd's works, frames Judge Dredd (who also happens to be his brother) for it so he'll get the death sentence, then by engineering a massacre and killing over a hundred Judges in two nights

-Betrays and kills Griffin, then replaces the DNA of the clones with his own

-Threatens to snap Judge Hershey's neck while having his robot fire upon Dredd and his sidekick (played by Rob Schneider, of all people) and finally tries to kill his brother on the top of the Statue of Liberty while denouncing his beliefs
