Hailed by reviews from Fox TV Houston morning news and a station in The CW network, what could be more reliable than that?
I guess they didn’t want to influence people unduly by quoting respected reviewers and journalists.
“Joey, do you like movies about gladiators?”
Made for all the Joeys of the world
If you own the first film just watch that again, they’re the same film.
First film had better effects.
On first glance, the cover makes it look like the MC is walking on crutches…
