Thanks for the awesome time tonight folks! And a big thanks to @rsmon77.bsky.social for setting this up! Can't wait to get back at it for Bloodsport! Off to dream of rainbow wig assaults. Until next time ...

That guy proves that boxing announcers are truly the embodiment of the American populist poet laureate ... or at least that sounds like something Charles Bukowski would have said into his second six pack of Schlitz for the evening ...

GO HOME ANNOUNCER! YOU'RE DRUNK!
#CultShelf #PenitentiaryII
Thanks! Totally gonna go down a rabbit hole with this whole Penitentiary II being Rocky III's Creed thing! :: Grabs red yarn spool :: 🤣
#CultShelf #PenitentiaryII
I think that technically Penitentiary II is Rocky III's equivalent of Creed!

Pen drawing of Mr. T wearinga necklace and glancing upward with his brow furrowed drawn on a torn-out book page.
After the fight, Mr. T has to get back to his cab driving job in Washington ... Plus the A-Team's planning on overthrowing or propping up a Central American Narco dictator or two this weekend ...

Every time they say Jesse "The Bull" Amos, I keep mishearing it as "Bull Anus ..."

Pen drawing of Mr. T wearing a sleeveless shirt and staring sternly drawn on a torn-out book page.
And done! Here's my new portrait of Mr. T to celebrate tonight's Cult Shelf presentation of Penitentiary II!

Now that's a spot for the cult film bingo card!

Penitentiary II is a creepy clown genre film ... I will not necessarily die on this hill ...

🤣🤣🤣 Dinner and a Movie Producer: "What the hell do you guys think you're doing?! Just put on a John Hughes movie, and talk polite like you're supposed to! This isn't MonsterVision FFS ..."

EVERYTHING is better with Rudy!

If Penitentiary II would have somehow miraculously ended up as a feature on Dinner and a Movie in the 90s, you just know Annabelle Gurwitch would be preparing some Too Sweet Potato Salad for the accompanying dish ...
#CultShelf #PenitentiaryII
I'm kind of curious what televison station was broadcasting prison boxing on a regular basis in 1982 ... Those local access public broadcasters would put on anything back in the day ...

I hope this film answers the dramatic cliffhanger from the original about whether or not Too Sweet got the Mr. Goodbar ...
#CultShelf #PenitentiaryII
I'm beginning to get the impression that this film is slightly sillier than the original ...

That's Billy Bob Thorton's BFF from Bad Santa!

This would fit a Cult Shelf viewing like a glove, imho! In one of Fanaka's other films, Emma Mae, a couple of the kids at the fight scene at the end are actually wearing Welcome Home Brother Charles shirts!
#CultShelf #PenitentiaryII
I mean, I totally want to see the continued saga of Too Sweet, but I also kind of want a full-length Disco Mime feature as well now!
#CultShelf #PenitentiaryII
I was hoping for some more Seldom Seen! Miss Floyd Chatman, but great that the character's still around!

Had one similar to this for catching the news during camping trips in the 90s!
#CultShelf #PenitentiaryII
🤣🤣🤣 So true! Probably have a Sid Haig cameo as some really greasy character as well!

Huh ... So this is what Winston Zeddemore was up to before he joined the Ghostbusters ...

Pen drawing of Rudy Ray Moore wearing a pageboy cap drawn on a black background.
You said it! Gotta have at least 10% of the film being roller disco shenanigans during this era if you want to pack a theater. Disco Godfather was initially just going to be a straight-up Dolemite sequel before the test audiences demanded more skating!
#CultShelf #PenitentiaryII
🤣 Oh, you know it! :: Cue "We are the Champions" ::

Pen drawing of Linda Blair wearing a leotard and putting roller skates in a bag drawn on a torn notebook page.
We now return to Roller Boogie, already in progress ...

This is the one where Too Sweet defeats the Soviets and ends the Cold War through competitive sports, right? ... No, wait ... I might be mixing up Penitentiary II with another movie ... what was it? Oh yeah! Miracle starring Kurt Russell!
#CultShelf #PenitentiaryII
🤣 Cigar Chomping studio exec: "You know what the kids want these days? :: Slams desk :: TITLE CRAWLS! That's what gets 'em into theaters ...
#CultShelf #PenitentiaryII
Dang! A United Artists production! I was thinking this was more Cannon or American International Pictures fare. This is apparently a very classy film!

Torn out book page about to be drawn on.
Getting started on my new Mr. T art for tonight's show! You know the drill; will post the finished art piece by the end of the movie!
