Continuity mistake: When Stallone kills the bad guys with skull masks in the corridor of the bar, his motions pointing the pistol don't match the positions of the lemming-like goons he hits. For instance he has the gun all the way to his right for the first one he kills, but the guy is shown with a hole opening in his forehead while he's in the middle of the corridor. (00:29:00)

I rented this movie from RedBox.
When this sequel came out on rental, it hit RedBox as a double feature disk with the first film included. I re watched the first one and then this film.
I must say this is one of the most unnecessary sequels I've ever seen.
The first movie was decently realistic, and only having you draw your suspension of disbelief to acceptable levels. But they really jumped the shark with this film, being almost cartoonish with the set up and prison. And to top it off, no Schwarzenegger. That was the primary selling point of the first film, was to finally have an action film staring Stallone and Schwarzenegger together.
This movie lost all the charm the first film carried, and with me really not caring about the people in it. And this time, instead of Stallone being in some high tech future prison that can't exist, it's one of his team members. Yeah so he even has a team now. Where his whole shtick in the first movie was that it was him alone working from the inside out to escape the most secure prisons to expose weaknesses. To prove if one man could get out or not. But now he has a team of people? It doesn't make sense. And now one is locked up in this new prison, for reasons I don't even remember. But turns out because an ex member of his team scorned by Stallone wants revenge and designed this prison just for him...
It's bonkers, stupid, and just falls flat as the most unnecessary sequel to a good film, but having none of the good parts of the first one. It even felt like Stallone was just phoning it in for this movie.
Watch the first one, and don't bother with this one.
Mistake Status: Wasn't really looking for any when I watched it. I might pick it a part some day if I do the first film just so I do the series.
