TRAILER - PENITENTIARY II (1982)

Before B.A. Baracus, before Clubber Lang, Mr. T was....Mr. T!

PENITENTIARY I and II are both pretty fun films, the acting is terrible and the plot is ridiculous but the actors here don't seem to know they are in a trash can of a film which makes it work. These films were at the end of the Blaxpoitation genre but they were a reminder of how well the genre could work when they don't mock themselves. Having said that, skip PENITENTIARY III. The actors were in on the joke at that point,

See you on forty deuce,
