We missed the original thankfully & had NO idea how this box of fake lookin gold prompted the movie. We're bewildered that neither the writers nor IMDb has ANY mention of this $200m in this sequel either. Thanks to the reviewers we now have some clue, yet wonder if the gold recovered is subject to return to the gumbent, Wells Fargo or does that big guy, the battleaxe & her pimp gonna git away widit all? Oh da horror!

for those of you who were desperate to find out what happened to Twitch in the original movie, heres your chance, and then get back to the real world.The guy who hid the gold in the first movie told Twitch, so he gets transferred to another prison, where wrestling champs hang around looking broody. Twitch plans to leave the jail in a month to get the gold to start a life with his woman.Then something happens and someone gets shot, and the film turns into Die Hard in another prison. But the wrestler's daughter is caught up in it all, so he and twitch go to find her and Twitch's woman.As you can imagine, the acting is below par, it features a lot of (really annoying) rap music, and poorly edited fight scenes. On the plus side, it's got that Hispanic bloke in it, who stars in every prison/action/thriller ever made, and he shuts a door in this.It's not very eventful, but at least it's harmless.If you were a massive fan of the original, it's okay-ish stuff.If not, you have been warned.

WOW! Why would anybody make a sequel to an already rancid film? Half Past Dead was a bad movie but at least at had an idea of what it wanted to be. HPD2 has no clue of what it wants to be. It just exists on screen for reasons I cant explain. Spoiler: The whole movie is this: Twitch(played by Kurupt of Tha Dogg Pound) gets transferred to another jail where there might be a box filled with gold bricks buried. In the jail, a riot breaks out between rival inmates, one of them gets shot by a guy named Cortez and Cortez plans his escape. During a conjugal visit, Twitch's fiancée and Burke's(played by Bill Goldberg)daughter get kidnapped by Cortez and are held in an execution room. Burke reluctantly befriends Twitch and they end up getting into trouble with the idiotic inmates while finding out that Cortez has their loved ones.Opinion: This is the most unnecessary sequel since Universal Soldier: The Return. The script is terrible, the acting is horrendous, the dialog is a joke and everybody in this movie is a caricature. Look, I know it was low budget film but that is not an excuse for these guys to not put effort into what they do. Nobody in this "movie" believes in the characters they play. Nobody in this "movie can be taken seriously as an actor. Kurupt should be ashamed of himself. His character "Twitch" is pretty much a spineless minstrel puppet who spends most of his time posing while getting jacked up by Burke or the other inmates. Bill Goldberg spends most of his time sulking throughout the movie as if he had to take a PHD(pretty huge dump). The fight scenes are poorly choreographed and pathetic and for an action movie HPD2 is pretty boring even when action is happening! Don't let anybody tell you that this movie is somewhat decent. It stinks and is a prime reason why people despise Follywood.

Have Just Finished watching this movie , and Boy was it intense. Kurupt is Hilarious ! It's definitely a low budget movie , But Believe me you won't notice. Just don't have too high expectations , but don't have low ones either. The soundtrack is unbelievably HOT !. An overall cool action movie with no special effects,smoke,explosions,etc... Just Guns and Fights ! And Actually a semi-good plot.I give this movie a Big 6 out of 10 (wanted to give it more but just couldn't!).Believe me, you won't regret watching it.
