Hooligans 2

Did you enjoy "Green Street Hooligans"? If you do, please don't waste your time on this. The "sequel" barely has anything to do with the original events, and on top of that it's just really poorly written and downright dumb. Usually I enjoy talking about things like acting, plot, cinematography, pacing and direction in reviews, but I'm not even going to bother here. I just want to say one thing about this movie: it's set in a prison, and our protagonists get out by winning a football game. If that doesn't strike you as the most retarded storyline in the history of filmmaking, go ahead and watch this movie. If it does, I'm pretty sure I've given you all the information you need. Oh, and the acting, plot, cinematography, pacing and direction probably suck as well, I was too dumbfounded to notice.

I didn't mind this movie. I thought it would get better reviews than it has received. People have been scrutinizing it to determine its failings but for me, it is just a prison B-movie. I think prison movies are a genre in themselves and it does not take much for me to get into it. I thought the acting in the film was sufficient. And the violence was at a real enough level. The baddies are convincing. And the goodies gain our alliance. One of the obvious failings though was the decision by the governor of the jail to play a soccer game to determine who gets released. That is so unrealistic that it does snap me out of my absorption and awaken my critical faculty. But you know what - I already know it is just a B-movie. It is not out to aspire to great heights. So even this I am willing to let pass. This to me is just an average movie offering some decent entertainment on a slow afternoon. I think it is worth watching.

Could have been a good movie but clearly filmed in California which was very over obvious & spoilt my enjoyment of the movie.

Where to begin, this is wrong wrong wrong. I'm not sure i can put in words how bad this film is. Firstly the setting, this film is filmed entirely on location in the city of Whittier, CA USA. However since the subject matter is related to 2 London, England football clubs. West Ham and Millwall. The setting and scenes take away from the points of the movie. The violence appears at times to be violent for violence sake. The plot line is unrealistic, especially the scenes relating to the football game. Overall a complete shambles and disappointment. I assume this straight to DVD film is made for an American audience. However i feel if someone wants to watch a football in prison film, may i suggest Mean Machine with Vinnie Jones which looks Oscar winning compared to this awful awful film. A great way to fleece the public in a credit crunch, riding on the back of its more watchable and enjoyable prequel. Avoid at all costs!!!!!!!!

I picked this DVD up in error thinking it was Green Street Hooligans 1 which I have yet to see. Strangely, as an English soccer fan, I did enjoy this movie and I could relate to the topic covered in the movie which was at times entertaining but this was really 'too much in your face' for me and too British for the British desire to show how violent football hooligans could or should be.

Whats the meaning of Green Street in the context of the movie? We never saw any football in the movie at all except the deciding prison game at the end of the movie. A toned down version would have been better as a TV drama rather than a movie, the female prison warden (and the male one for that) would have been suitable for the English drama 'Bad Girls' This is a bad film and completely unsuitable for cinema viewing. Overall I am disappointed because there is little if anything to commend about the movie and why a pretty lady like the one in the movie would ever want to be a man like that is beyond me? Pass!
