Description

Martel "Too Sweet" Gordone (Leon Isaac Kennedy) has just been paroled. Trying diligently to stay out of trouble, he rekindles an old fling with his former girlfriend Clarisse and begins a job as a delivery roller-skater. But when his prison arch nemesis, Half Dead, breaks out of jail and murders Clarisse, Too Sweet is forced to return to his old life and seek vengeance the only way he knows how...

Co-starring Ernie Hudson (THE HUMAN TORNADO & GHOSTBUSTERS) and the one and only Mr. T (THE A-TEAM & ROCKY III), Jamaa Fanaka's sequel to his acclaimed 1979 classic, PENITENTIARY II ups the intensity, ferocity, and outrageous action of the original. Vinegar Syndrome brings this early 80s action classic to Blu-ray, newly restored from its original 35mm camera negative and packed with explosive extra features.

    Another trip to the joint!

    This was a blind buy, but I had survived 1 & 3 previously. The first is grisly and less fun, 3 is insane and more fun (drooling for its release), but 2 is almost just right! Insane acting, insane boxing, insane casting, insane 80s look and feel, Mr Ts smoking lamp, its a perfect mix of low budget sports revenge fantasy, a Rocky II for the real underclass. Its an on-camera party that is often wild and out of control, but releases all the right chemicals. Special features arent as fullfilling but at least exist

    Too Tough to Quit

    Mr. T meets underground boxing in this gloriously gritty sequel. A time capsule of raw 80s energy and blaxploitation flair, boosted by a vivid transfer and killer slipcover. Vinegar Syndrome delivers the one-two punch.
