Wasn't overwhelmingly fond of the first cinematic effort to begin with, but, more to the point, wouldn't "Half Past Dead 2" more accurately be titled "Completely Past Dead"?!

Watching this on local cable while i type this. Wow, just wow.... Can't believe how stupid this movie is and how poor the acting is. That guy Kurupt is so annoying, I had to mute the sound. Gave it a try only because of Goldberg, but he wasn't impressive at all. All the fight scenes were weak and amateurish, all jokes were poor, all dialogues was empty. Crappy script and annoyingly poor acting - hat's what this movie is all about.

This is a sequel to one of the worst movies Steven Seagal was ever involved with, but he bailed out on this one, which greatly improved things. This is watchable, but not particularly memorable. A prison inmate called Twitch (played by Kurupt) and another called William Burke (played quite convincingly by Bill Goldberg) are holed up together in a jail where Twitch believes there is some gold buried. Really? Twitch is visited by his fiancée Cherise (Angell Conwell) and Burke by his daughter Ellie (Alona Tal). Anyway, a riot breaks out in the jail, and Alex Cortez (Robert Madrid) kills a fellow inmate, and two guards, then tries to escape. The two visitors get held hostage by Cortez. Burke and Twitch are already driven together, as the prison becomes ungovernable and the guards seem unable to reassert control despite many fight scenes. Cortez demands a helicopter ride out, or he will kill the hostages. One arrives. But Burke and Twitch find Cortez first. Cue another fight scene. The script is poor, but has a certain logic to it. The fight scenes are numerous but samey. The dialogue is amateur. Camera-work isn't too bad. Half way decent.

This movie was more riveting than the original but it is still quite dumb. There is more tension because of the hostages and their attempts to escape. However, the film is still a let down overall.

Most sequels are not up to standards with the original but this takes the price in being completely out of sane plot or even script.

this is billed as a sequel to the first half past dead with steven seagal,, this one does not feature seagal,, but instead the pro wrestler. Bill Goldberg,, Korrupt is back,, but not Ja Rule.. this one isn't quite as good as the first,, Twitch gets himself transferred to Creighton which is probably based on Super Max the prison out in Colorado. Bill Goldberg is caught up in the middle of a gang war in prison along with Korrupt,, Korrupt has a sexy girlfriend, and Bill Goldberg a teen daughter who both get trapped inside the prison on visiting day,, a riot ensues and game on.. they kinda try to tie in the first movie with this one,, but really isn't the same.. Tony Plana makes a cameo appearance as the warden on Alcatraz, this movie is okay, but very hard to beat the first one.

Half Past Dead 2 is a film which i definitely would recommend not watching. Straight to the point, it's crap, is definitely too soft and weak and the film needs proper action and more tension. The acting in this film isn't good and the film is quite boring. The film has nothing to do with the first film and is a very lame sequel. It also doesn't star Steven Seagal, Morris Chestnut, Ja Rule, Nia Peeples or any of the actors from Half Past Dead. It has a completely different cast and has Bill Goldberg(who was crap) acting in it and has only two stars from Half Past Dead and they are Kurupt as Twitch and Tony Plana as El Fuego. Half Past Dead starring Steven Seagal, Morris Chestnut, Jau Rule, Nia Peeples, Tony Plana and Kurupt is an absolutely brilliant film with awesome action, fight scenes tension and loads more but this film lacks everything in loads of ways. There lots of things about this film that were crap and rubbish and the film really is a lame film.
