LIES!
It has cars with machine guns. OMFG MACHINE GUNS ON CARS! How can you beat that!?!?
Yes I am being tongue in cheek - taht said the original was so blatantly B-grade it was glorious in how bad it was. Sylvester Stallone never sucked so much as an actor - and that's saying something! But you're right - they are trying to make a 'serious' movie out of something so absurb... well as one reviewer said 'if the prisoners have access to all this high powered weaponry - why don't they just use it to escape!?!?' But it couldn't be worse than 'Death Truck', 'Class of 2000', or some of the other really, REALLY bad B-grade movies (involving cars shooting each other) that I wasted much of my 20's watching (well that and Andy Sidaris films - cause I was too cheap to rent actual porn!) Anyway so you can see why for me this is a bit of a fanboy high - I have countless converted model cars at home that have added armour plating, roll cages, guns and ramming spikes; so you can see why I'm excited about this one!
