Stallone: Escape Plan 2 is the most horribly produced film I’ve ever been in

Last Updated on August 5, 2021

The third film in the ESCAPE PLAN franchise ESCAPE PLAN: THE EXTRACTORS starring Sylvester Stallone, Dave Bautista, and Devon Sawa will be hitting Digital 4K Ultra HD, Blu-ray/DVD/Digital Combo Pack, and DVD tomorrow. And today we have word via Stallone that while he seems to think ESCAPE PLAN 3 is awesome, he has nothing but disdain for ESCAPE PLAN 2.

Stallone writes:

Escape Plan 2 WAS TRULY THE MOST HORRIBLY PRODUCED FILM I have ever had the misfortune to be in

He goes on to say more about how the new film is going to be much better. But you can read all of that for yourself in his Instagram post below. I can only sit here and hope that for all the venom Stallone is spitting ESCAPE PLAN 2's way, it's not directed at that movie's director Steven C. Miller. 

ESCAPE PLAN: THE EXTRACTORS tells the following story: 

After security expert Ray Breslin (Stallone) is hired to rescue the kidnapped daughter of a Hong Kong tech mogul from a formidable Latvian prison, Breslin’s girlfriend (Jaime King) is also captured. Now he and his team, which includes Dave Bautista and Curtis “50 Cent” Jackson, must pull off a deadly rescue mission to confront their sadistic foe and save the hostages before time runs out.

Special features include: 

Audio commentary with director John Herzfeld, Sylvester Stallone, Devon Sawa, and Daniel Bernhardt

The Making of Escape Plan: The Extractors Featurette, which features never-before-seen cast and crew interviews that explain what it took to make this white-knuckle film. 

Directed by John Herzfeld from a screenplay he wrote with Miles Chapman, who also wrote both previous ESCAPE PLAN movies, ESCAPE PLAN: THE EXTRACTORS, starring Sylvester Stallone, Dave Bautista, and Devon Sawa hits 4K Ultra HD, Blu-ray, and DVD tomorrow. Meanwhile, you can read our recent review of ESCAPE PLAN: THE EXTRACTORS RIGHT HERE.

Here I am with my lifetime friend , and Director , JOHN HERZFELD , Who directed the upcoming film Escape Plan 3 – The Extractors ! Escape Plan 2 WAS TRULY THE MOST HORRIBLY PRODUCED FILM I have ever had the misfortune to be in , but this new film was made in an extraordinarily short amount of time , 17 nights , dusk till dawn , no breaks , we ate while we worked!!!! The Crew were under unbelievable pressure. . Proud of them! But I wanted this battle be as realistic as possible. I showed up on the site for the big final fight scene that takes place in a very very old cell that is 9‘ x 7 … they had spent all this time choreographing this Martial arts type of combat. I said forget it. Why don’t we go in there and just let it rip. Like a real fight!!!! . Nobody does this anymore … NO CUTS! ONE LONG TAKE – No choreography, so you don’t know what’s coming until it hits you. I asked the other actor who has a lot of guts,Devon Sawa , If he was game? I said it’s gonna hurt and he replayed “ bring it “ . So what you see us a portion of the brawl that is completely non – choreographed , spontaneous , again, with no cuts , And no idea , and what punches were coming! The other actor Devon , plays the killer who has accused me of murdering his father which is not true ! Without a doubt the only fight I’ve ever done in my entire career without choreography or without knowing what’s coming !! No one does this anymore – gotta a little adventurous !!! And nuts … This was tough but worth it! And what I believe makes the audience APPRECIATE the effort and authenticity …. Arriving July 2…. AND It is available on pay-per-view ! KEEP PUNCHING ! #Escape plan 3 THE EXTRACTORS #GrindStone #LionsgateFilms
