Penitentiary 2 is the best of the Penitentiary flicks. It has the drama of Rocky, the comedy of an old Rudy Ray Moore flick, and the edge of an episode of OZ (HOOOOOOAAAAH). Speaking of OZ, this flick has Ernie Hudson in it. Oh and don't let me forget to mention that this movie has the ultimate action TV hero of the 80's MR. T! My favorite character in this movie is Mr. Seldom Seems. This guy's beard is as thick and round as the afro on his head and he's always telling people not to touch him. He's got a thing about people touching him, he's sort of like Rain Man except he doesn't scream when he's hugged he just starts throwing blows. If you want to watch a classic boxing movie, then P2 is it.......OOOH YEAH, there's a drag queen and a midget in this movie also

This film is a cross between the "Rocky" films and Rudy Ray Moore flicks (Dolomite, The Avenging Disco Godfather... and HE does make a special appearance in this Fanaka classic). With loony character names like 'Too Sweet", 'Half-Dead' and 'Seldom Seen', this story-line is peppered with demented scenes like the scary "potato salad scene", or the dwarf-prostitute pursuit. A must see for all Mr. T fans.

I like this movie a lot, it had boxing, crazy characters, a midget, and one of the very disgusting scene of all the times, a guy head sumerged in a toilet, previously used (with turd and all). Mr.t work here and he is hilarious as always.

i own both penitentiary 1 and 2 both movies were outstanding the cameo appearance by Mohommad Ali was great to see.

of course you didn't do it,so back in jail you go better made than the first one and filled with lots of good actors(ernie hudson,glynn turman,former champ archie moore and a early look at clubber lang mr. T).Too sweet gets out of jail only to have half dead escape and kill his girlfriend on ther first nite alone.The fun starts when dead's henchmen simple and doo dirty break him out of jail again! how?seeing is believing and when too sweet can't resist fighting again who else but mr. T to help lead him to fighting form for another trip to jail to fight the champ,and here we go again.just remember it's only a movie!it's only a movie!

What the hell happened after the first film was good. This isn't the worst movie I've ever seen,but the entire cast just seems to be going through the motions. The heart of the first film is just really missing. I hate how they replaced the original actors of half dead and seldom seen with dudes I didn't care about. This film could have been so much better.

This movie is my favorite blaxploitation flick of all time...the big problem is that the xenon versions of the movie are cut. There's some sleazy video store in the neighborhood that has the un-cut vhs version. I have no idea why xenon buys the rights then cuts up the film.

What can you say about a movie that has Mr. T as a boxing instructer, smoking a bong, and drinking wine? Well I rank this movie high because the clothes of Mr. T are better than any thing worn to the oscars. I meam He dresses as a genie....come on the man is a genuis.

This film an interesting cross between the "Rocky" flicks and basically any movie with Rudy Ray Moore (Dolomite, Avenging disco Godfather...and he does make an appearance in this film). With crazy character names like 'Too Sweet', 'Seldom Seen', 'Half-Dead', one can't go wrong. Go 'Too Sweet', 'Half-Dead' will never bring you down!

worst movie in the history of american cinema!you need to be checked out if you actually think this was good.their doing nice things in mental institutions these days.
