While promoting his latest film, Escape Plan: The Extractors, Sylvester Stallone does not mince words over his dissatisfaction with its predecessor, last year's Escape Plan: Hades.
In a lengthy post on Stallone's Instagram, the actor refers to the first Escape Plan sequel as "truly the most horribly produced film [he] has ever had the misfortune to be." In a video with The Extractors director John Herzfeld, Stallone shares a sneak peek at the new film in the form of an unchoreographed fight scene between him and co-star Devon Sawa.
The sequence was the first complete fight scene Stallone has ever filmed without any choreography as the two actors traded actual blows during the grueling sequence in a single take.
The Escape Plan franchise follows security expert Ray Breslin who tests the strength of maximum security prisons. Due to his expertise, Ray often finds himself trapped in penitentiaries with only his wits and years of experience to keep him alive.
Escape Plan: The Extractors is directed by John Herzfeld and stars Sylvester Stallone, Dave Bautista, Curtis "50 Cent" Jackson, Max Zhang, Harry Shum, Jr., Devon Sawa and Jaime King. It is available now on video-on-demand and will be available on DVD and Blu-ray on July 2.
