Lockout

Connor & Jon get sent to space prison or Manhattan prison as they examine the weird Euro-action b-movie Lockout, and it's definite point of inspiration Escape from New York. They examine the actual legal action that was taken against Lockout and decipher how original of an idea did Luc Besson have? Jon thinks there's a better bad movie that could have been made, Connor is annoyed at the rules of space this film breaks, and both question the place of Snake Plissken in 80s' and modern action films.WARNING: Major spoilers for Escape from New York & Lockout, minor spoilers for Big Trouble in Little China & Predator Follow us:Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/rulesoftheframe/  Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/rulesoftheframe  Twitter: https://twitter.com/RulesOfTheFrame  YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCII7_Fevn8na1ZkXyfUeTQA/featured Films mentioned in this episode:--------------------------------Lockout (2012) | Dir.
