One of Stallone's emotinal excellent performance in one of his solid acting performances. Lock Up (1989) is an awesome movie a prison drama. I love Lock Up it is been 30 year anniversary and the movie dosen't get anything. Stallone did a great job with this movie. Bill Conti returned with his music score. He made music score for all movies except Rocky IV he was absent for that movie. The music score is similiar, it reminds me on The Karate Kid (1984) movie the first classic movie. Directed was by John Flynn who made a great job directing this movie. After this movie he went and directed Out For Justice (1991) with Steven Seagal wich is Seagal's best movie and my favorite action film.
"Rape this!"
Sonny Landham R.I.P. from 48 Hrs. and Predator (1987) is in here too. The cast are Donald Sutherland which he did a great job as the villian, Tom Sizemore excellent performance as Sly's friend inmate in prison. Darlanne Fluegel R.I.P. is awesome babe, great performance as Sly's girlfriend and love interest. It is really a tragedy a lot of good actress died and I had no idea that the actress is no longer with us anymore. Darlanne Fluegel did played in a lot of good movies: Bulletproof, Freeway, Pet Sematary II, Scanner Cop and other good movies I like. Frank McRae from 48 Hrs. is also in this movie. Both actors were together on 48 Hrs. but had no screen time together.
It is a good prison drama movie, character Chink Webber is based on a boxer Chuck Webber that Stallone made a Rocky (1976) movie on his life. Chuck Webber should be in Rocky III but the boxer was terrible actor so they fired him, but Webber was based on this character that actor Sonny Landham played.
I love Stallone's character Frank Leone he is an auto mechanic, he got caught when he beat 3 guys when they broke in this meachanic shop and beat his friend. Sly's character was a good heart person, he helped people, he was an honest guy that always did the right thing. But he is pushed too far and he has to fight for a survival and freedom. Sly's lines really inspired me "You want break me." it really helped me in life a lot. You see Leone fighting off guards in the finale when he escapes excellent choreography. Stallone punches a guard in the balls after he was treaten that he will rape and kill Leone's girlfriend Melissa excellent punch by Stallone he knocked him out.
This is hell and I'm going to give you a guided tour! With these chilling words, the warden (Donald Sutherland) welcomes Frank Leone (Sylvester Stallone) to Gateway Prison, a nightmare jail where every minute is hard time. The warden wants vengeance for the past; Leone wants only to survive the present. Their explosive battle of wills is the electrifying heart of one of Stallone's most heroic thrillers, LOCK UP. Stallone gives a monumental performance as Leone, a convict driven to break his own cherished code by a warden who will stop at nothing to get him. Dallas (Tom Sizemore) sacrificed him self against sadistic guard Manly (Jordan Lund) he electreued both of them.
You have a football in this movie which is played well by inmates. I read in this movie the real inmates were all extra cast. The football is real performed and it is very realistic. Mosty of the acting in here is realistic. Stallone gives a monumental performance as Leone, a convict driven to break his own cherished code by warden who will stop at nothing to get him. Sutherland portrays the sadistic prison head in this riveting white-knuckle ride to hell in back, This movie shows how is life in prison, i know we saw other prison movies but this movie executes it well.
I remember now Don "The Dragon" Wilson in Bloodfist III: Forced To Fight copy this plot and he competely rip off the final act in which Leone held hostage Warden Drumgoole on an electric chair so that he confessed his crimes, that scene Wilson riped off in his movie. Stallone made Escape Plan (2013) in that movie Stallone is the second time in prison which I am going to review that film soon but now I watch this movie and I love it. I have this movie on DVD in a double feature with Chuck Norris An Eye for an Eye (1981) together and I have this movie seperate on Blu-ray disc. I did not know Lock Up was released on 4K Blu-ray in USA, Germany, UK and other country's. I do have Rambo 1,2 and 3 with Lock Up on DVD for the Stallone collection the rest of his movies I only have on Blu-ray discs.
I appreciate this movie Lock Up is one of my favorite Stallone films. 80's were golden years for Stallone in my opinion. I love Rambo movies all 4 movies Cobra, Demolition Man, Cliffhanger, Cop Land, Rocky all six movies, Tango & Cash, Lock Up is right between them one of Stallone's best movies. I am a huge Stallone fan, I love the guy to death.
