While Karen eludes capture, John is arrested and sentenced to a penal colony in space. 26,000 miles from home, he must perform hard, dangerous labor in a punishing environment alongside some of the most fearsome criminals in the galaxy. Monitored by an elaborate computer system, his body implanted with a security camera that allows his jailers to see where he is at all times, John would seem unable to escape -- but that would underestimate his ingenuity, or his desire to be with Karen again. Fortress 2: Re-Entry also stars Pam Grier and Patrick Malahide; former Tangerine Dream member Christopher Franke composed the musical score. ~ Mark Deming, Rovi

A few campy thrills, but the first one's a whole lot better.

Alex Sandell, Juicy Cerebellum
Bad, bad sequel to surprisingly good cult film.
-
Kim Newman, Sight and Sound
This follow-up, whose natural home would seem to be video rental stores rather than local multiplexes, lacks Gordon's wit and grit.

Clint Morris, Moviehole
Makes the original look like "Casablanca"
