Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaThe catering for this movie comprised entirely of soup; no solids were allowed whatsoever. In an interview with Sight & Sound in 2012, Lambert himself stated that the reason for this was that at the time he was a member of a radical nutritional cult, and his contract for agreeing to sign on included a clause stating that the catering for the entire cast and crew constitute only soup.
- GoofsAt approximately 12:26 into the film when Susan is speaking to Peter Teller at the end of the video transmission the screen shows the webcam feed is actually using Hauppage WinTV and returns to the Windows desktop (showing many other bespoke applications designed for the film). The version of Windows installed is Windows 98 and you can see the free trial for AOL on the desktop.

Featured review
Well, lets be honest here, the first Fortress movie was nothing too special even though it was directed by Stuart Gordon and featured some excellent cheese filled moments. You may think that the craptacular enjoyment provided by the first movie would translate over to the lower budgeted, even more b sequel.
Sadly I was totally wrong with this assumption.
Things just happen in this movie... There's really no effort by the script or director to give us any characterization. We're stuck with " Brennick is in prison, now he must bust out " as soon as the movie starts.
There's plot holes galore, stupid scenes, and some terrible special FX.
Lambert must have been really hungry for the fifty or so grand he was paid to do this train wreck.
I'm a fan of cheeseball, low budget films... But they have to at least be entertaining in some form or another to be enjoyable to me. There are a few moments like that found in this film, but unless you want to see how NOT to make a movie, don't bother with this one.
