Good start, but then it gets ruined

Clever and entertaining enough to recommend even to members of the 1%

A lot of perfectly good film show their cards early, establish a unique premise and let the audience explore a topic at a leisurely pace, without much in terms of surprise. this film is not one of those films.

There's no way I can possibly love it entirely but I just think its ridiculously bad, but enjoyable at the same time.

Green Street Hooligans 2 was an absolutely god awful movie. This movie made me wish I just burned the $5.99 I spent on the DVD. The movie has no significant plot and purely feeds off of meaningless violence.GSH2 made an attempt to live up to its predecessor, Green Street, which was actually a rather entertaining movie. It's a true shame that this movie exists and has the right to be addressed as a film.Final summation-Don't waste any time or money on Green Street Hooligans 2 expecting another "Green Street" you will be terribly disappointed.-My Rating 3/10-Average Joe

Great earlier quote: "the market for this is restricted to those who simply enjoy watching people getting beaten up, but is devoid of any other merit." I laughed out loud. I had the misfortune of finding this film last evening. Having never been personally exposed to the American or English penal systems, I wasn't so much put off by the location of the film as the substance of it (or lack, thereof). It was a formula prison flick, nothing more. And I've seen Ross McColl in other films and don't remember him being so horrible. His voice was so grating I was drawn to continue watching. It had a nasal squeakiness to it that was mesmerizing. This was supposed to be the film's "tough guy"? Even worse than his voice was his physique. Sunken chest and pot belly. If anyone loses a fight to this guy they should be arrested! My lord. He must've been all the budget could afford. And let's not forget Marina Sirtis. When I last saw her she was drop dead gorgeous. WHAT, on Earth, has happened to her? I know this was a film role, but I honestly did not recognize her. Time has been so cruel. In sum, the budget for this film should've been donated to a local charity.

I picked this DVD up in error thinking it was Green Street Hooligans 1 which I have yet to see. Strangely, as an English soccer fan, I did enjoy this movie and I could relate to the topic covered in the movie which was at times entertaining but this was really 'too much in your face' for me and too British for the British desire to show how violent football hooligans could or should be.Whats the meaning of Green Street in the context of the movie? We never saw any football in the movie at all except the deciding prison game at the end of the movie. A toned down version would have been better as a TV drama rather than a movie, the female prison warden (and the male one for that) would have been suitable for the English drama 'Bad Girls' This is a bad film and completely unsuitable for cinema viewing. Overall I am disappointed because there is little if anything to commend about the movie and why a pretty lady like the one in the movie would ever want to be a man like that is beyond me? Pass!

Forgive me if this reviews a little bit disjointed . A few minutes ago I saw the end credits roll to GREEN STREET 2: STAND YOUR GROUND and it's caused a sensation that feels like a cross between the best sex of my life and having my head crushed in a vice . If there's an impossible air of surrealism in my manner it's entirely down to the on screen events of this ... well I was going to say movie but it's more of a bad dream than a movie STAND YOUR GROUND is supposedly a follow up to GREEN STREET but obviously started off as an original screenplay by T.Jay O'Brien featuring tough gang members from da ghetto meeting up in an American maximum security prison . Some producer somewhere told him to rewrite the story so it'd feature a couple of supporting characters from GREEN STREET . Unfortunately someone forgot to tell director Jesse V Johnson this so we've got a film supposedly set in Britain but filmed in an American prison . I've really got to admire Jesse for getting round this by sticking a couple of goal posts in the prison basketball court and plastering signs saying " ROYAL PRISON SERVICE - NO NOT A YANK JAIL AT ALL GUV " everywhere . Okay he fails but it's a good try The two leads are played by Ross McCall and Graham McTavish and with names like those it's no surprise to learn they're both Scottish . They're playing London geezers and it must have been a challenge for them trying to master the accents because they spend so much time trying to convince us they're not Scots that they forget to do any convincing acting , just limiting themselves to making quaking noises that sound like " FAHK " and " KANT " . We also have ze meerkat from the car insurance adverts voicing one of the human characters called Max and an Australian as governor of the royal prison service Pride of place amongst the cast is that woman from STAR TREK THE NEXT GENERATION playing a pantomime witch who's unable to say anything without using the F and C words at least twice in every sentence . I never knew American prisons were so cosmopolitan . Amazingly there's even a few Neo-Nazis nonchalantly standing around showing their swastika tattoos with disgusted looks on their faces giving the impression that they were going to originally star in this movie about a prison war between the Ayran Brotherhood and The Crips set in a tough American Jail No matter how you look at it you can not escape that this was the plot on O'Brien's first draft . The screenwriter seems stumped as to how he can rewrite it and make it cohesive . It's obvious he's crossed out Crips and Brotherhood and replaced it with Millwall and West Ham . He's failed to develop anything and the screenplay is full of padding such as wicked witch female prison guard trying to get an underling to say " Two peas in a pod " . There's also a ridiculous scene where the prison governor decides to give non dangerous prisoners early release and gets two staff members to draw up a potential list . Cut to a long lasting urinating contest where each prison officers says " my list is best - No my list is best " which seems to go on forever " Thankfully the governor is an intellectual and moral giant who knows the only way to judge how rehabilitated a prisoner is if they win a football match . You can understand this way of thinking since Hitler and Stalin were never known to be good footballers while someone like John Terry or Diego Maradona are fine upstanding role models for the rest of humanity STAND YOUR GROUND is certainly one of the worst movies I've seen . . Everything about it is totally deranged , the acting , the writing ( especially the dialogue ) and the bizarre fact that it's obviously filmed in an American prison . Having said that it's also thoroughly entertaining almost like EASTENDERS mixed with an episode of tough prison drama OZ and whilst the entertainment level is almost certainly unintentional it gets four out of ten
