Quiz
According to an interview with director Stuart Gordon, Arnold Schwarzenegger was to star as John Brennick since Arnold was a big fan of Re-Animator (1985) in which Arnold's stunt-double, Peter Kent was a cast member. Stuart Gordon: "...it was Arnold Schwarzenegger that got me the job and it was because of Re-Animator. We used Arnold's body-double in Re-Animator. The first reanimated corpse is a guy named Peter Kent, Arnold's double. He's got those big muscles. He got Arnold to see Re-Animator and Arnold liked it so much that he had a screening of it in his home, inviting all of these people, including producer John Davis. John had the rights to Fortress and Arnold was going to do it. For some reason, I'm not sure why, Arnold finally decided that he wasn't going to do the movie and dropped out. They had a big budget, probably like 60 million, 70 million dollars, which was a huge budget in those days. Now it sounds small. [laughs] Anyway, he dropped out and the budget went down. They cut the budget to about 15 million dollars."

Blooper
After Maddox's lower midsection is obliterated by the turret, he continues to stand upright for many moments before turning and falling off the duct pipe. But with no spine, that part of his torso could not have remained fully upright.

Citazioni
D-Day, the Computer Geek: [Explaining the volatile nature of the Intestinator device] It's like TNT on PMS.

Versioni alternative
The Australian theatrical and home entertainment versions all have the violence intact, but the Aussie version features the happier, more upbeat ending -- deleting the truck chase/explosion.

2017 was a Harsher Time

Who knew that watching Raw Deal and then Fortress would make a fantastic over the top action doubleheader. Well, movie nerds and action aficionados, but not me. In my attempt to go through movies I should have seen by now, I bring you Fortress. A Stuart Gordon Sci-Fi action movie about a private underground supermax prison in the future year of 2017.

It is scary that I felt like there are things in this that I felt could have very much come about in that year. Private prisons, population control, cops killing civilians, half-human half-machine prison wardens made from the non-aborted babies of the prisoners...well one of those things may be a stretch.

Plot-wise, after being caught at the Canadian border trying to escape America with his wife who is pregnant with their second child. Chris Lambert gets arrested and thrown in an underground supermax prison in the middle of the desert. Here he is fitted with a device called the "Intestinator" which, when he is misbehaving or moving outside of where he should be will make his intestines explode. After finding out that his wife is alive and still pregnant, Lambert begins a weirdly convoluted way escaping which includes, using a hidden intestinator out of someone else stomach, his pregnant wife shacking up with the warden, and having his mind melted in a machine they use at theme parks. In the end, while the exploding people filled with blue goo are fun to watch, the move isn't really a thinker.

Although, there are a lot of creepy ideas in this. Since abortion is illegal the prisons keep the babies birthed from the women prisoners and meld them with machines as well as things they find on the floor to make the perfect hybrid human. The warden is a successful attempt at it, while the guards on are not. It a nice add-on that keeps the goofiness at bay just a bit.

I really enjoyed this film. I know there are a ton of flaws to it, and it kinds of looks like a sad grey tower of bland. Fortress just has too much weird and goofy to not be fun. Add in some hardcore violence, and exploding people and it's hard not to enjoy yourself.
