Default Penitentiary: Specs Thread

Penitentiary (ArrowDrome) DVD



There's only one way out, and 100 fools stand in the way!

Too Sweet likes three things... Candy bars, makin’ love and fighting. Arrested while defending a beautiful hooker in a roadside diner brawl, he finds himself unjustly incarcerated in a violent prison hellhole where life is cheap and punks get owned by predatory lifers. There’s only one way out... Victory in the ring!

Now Too Sweet has to fight for his freedom in series of boxing battles, all the while watching his back in the prison corridors, waiting for the cold sting of the shiv that might end his life.

Experience Jamaa Fanaka’s extraordinary grindhouse classic – Which is arguably the last great Blaxploitation flick – and pray to God you never end up somebody’s bitch in the PENITENTIARY!

So will this be a 2-discer, then?

I don't know but I'm assuming so. I imagine it'll be like The Cheerleaders in that the first film is on one disc and the second on another.

As far as I know, both films are on the same disc with Penitentiary 2 listed in the extra features along with trailers for both Penitentiary movies.

Just double checked with Arrow and, just to clarify, they tested the encode on separate discs and because of the source material the picture quality was no different so they kept it all on one disc.

Thanks for clearing that one up for me , guys. This is another example where ArrowDrome has released nice shiny versions of films I've been meaning to pick up for ages - keep 'em coming, Arrow!

Good stuff! Was always going to pick this up as am keen to expand my blaxploitation watching but it's more of an essential purchase now knowing that there's 2 films instead of 1.
