Sequel Too, Deja Vu - ”Deadlock 2”

On this show, our specialty is sequels, sequels, and more sequels. From the good ones, to the bad ones, to the really ugly ones, we'll be covering them all! We've got homicidal maniacs that won't stay in the grave, sci-fi epics whose stories cannot be told in a single tale, and much much more. For our 25th episode, we are talking about one of the strangest sequels/remakes/requels in history with "DEADLOCK 2" from 1995, (AKA Wedlock 2, AKA Deadlocked: Escape From Zone 14). This sequel to the original Wedlock from 1991 starring Rutger Hauer (that we already reviewed for Rutger Hauer Appreciation Month) is cleverly disguised as a sequel...but it's a reamke, or is it a requel? We'll leave it up to you to decide how the hell this got made in the first place. This straight to cable mischief stars Esai Morales, Nia Peeples, and Stephen McHattie. In short, it's about a thief framed for a crime he did not commit and is then sent to a futuristic prison with a bomb strapped around his neck. Sound crazy...because it is. Join our hosts Cameron Scott and Marcus Koch as they dissect and take a deep dive into a future that only belongs to those who can survive it. "Well, it's a six digit code. That means there's about ten million possible combinations."
