DETAILED SYNOPSIS:
This sequel to the urban masterpiece PENITENTIARY, directed and written by
pioneering independent filmmaker Jamaa Fanaka, may have garnered
comparisons to the Rocky films, but its ultra-violent fight scenes, unsentimental
view of urban life and elements of ’80s kitsch make it a perennial classic that
stands alone.
Paroled after serving time for a murder he didn’t commit, prison boxing champ
Martel “Too Sweet” Gordone (Leon Isaac Kennedy) hangs up his gloves, moves
in with his sister’s family and rekindles his romance with Clarisse (Eugenia
Wright—“Magnum P.I.”). He soon learns that life on the outside isn’t much
easier than it was in prison when “Half Dead” Johnson (Ernie Hudson—“Oz”,
Ghost Busters, The Human Tornado) escapes from prison and murders Clarisse.
Though the loss of Clarisse is almost too much to bear, Too Sweet, with the help
of his new trainer (Mr. T—“The A Team”, Rocky III), returns to the fight game
and begins his rise to the top. Meanwhile, brother-in-law Charles (Glynn
Turman—Sahara, “The Wire”) continues the battle against Half Dead, who
intends to destroy the entire Gordone family.
Featuring thrilling fight scenes, a roller disco sequence, and cameos by
Stephanie Mills, Rudy Ray Moore and “Moms” Mabley,
PENITENTIARY 2 is a must-have for any fan of Urban Cinema.
