(plus injury time) of no holds barred,
adrenaline-fuelled soccer action!Vinnie Jones is
Danny Meehan, a football superstar who had it all:
the money, the fast cars and the super model
girlfriend. But now he's all washed up and when
he's put inside for punching a cop things go from
bad to worse. The football mad commissioner
organises a one-off game - the wardens against the
inmates - and he's got to turn a bunch of
out-of-shape reprobates into a winning team.If he
loses he'll face the wrath of the cons. If he wins
it's goodbye to his parole. But one thing's for
sure - it'll be one hell of a match.The Longest
YardIn this rough-and-tumble yarn, actually filmed
on-location at the Georgia State Prison, the cons
are the heroes and the guards are the heavies.
Eddie Albert is the sadistic warden who'll gladly
make any sacrifice to push his gaurds' semi-pro
football team to a national championship.Reynolds
plays one time pro quarterback Paul Crewe, now
behind bars for leading State Police on a wild
chase in a borrowed car. He agrees to organise a
prisoners' team to play the guards. The warden
intercedes to assure that his goon squad will meet
only passive resistance from Crewe's Mean Machine.
But the license to pound their hated guards is a
big incentive for murderers and thieves to learn
strategy.

Not your usual suspects

Advantages: Great actors, good story, nice sound track.
Disadvantages: none


Mean Machines – Not your usual suspects.



Mean Machines was released in 2001 and is on TV quite a lot. It was shown a few weeks ago on Film4 so I thought I’d do a quick review as it is also a brilliant film and one of my favourites. Being a big football fan I instantly liked the plot and the fact Vinnie Jones was starred in it. I was a fan of Vinnie as a footballer and thought he played his role well in this. ...
...as comedy, friendship and morals. Mean Machines is a comedy adapted from the 1974 American film 'The Longest Yard' which is American football instead of football.

PLOT

Vinnie Jones plays Danny Meehan a superstar footballer who is jailed for assault on a police officer and finds it hard to fit in. He soon makes a few friends and tries to keep his head down but the Warden offers him a deal. Play a game of football against ... more

I'm dreaming of a happy prison

Advantages: Can be funny and good when there's nothing else on
Disadvantages: Most would probably find it to be a joke

...remaining two hours. Well maybe Mean Machine didn't exactly grab me as I saw it in the Channel 4 line-up, but with nothing else to really watch you can't argue with a Sunday night movie. Of course my experiences with Ch4 movies haven't been great, I seem to remember the last one I watched was Cabin Fever, one of my most hated movies of all time, so how did Mean Machine fair at filling in that gap in the schedule between 10pm and midnight? I literally ...
...watching an original. My bad. Mean Machine is said to be a 2001 remake of the original 'Longest Yard' movie, which that itself has had an American remake in more recent years. Mean Machine is a purely British film though, and that is just stamped in permanent ink by the fact that the lead role is played by Vinnie Jones himself. Generally I'm not a Vinnie Jones fan, and I remember one of the things I hated the most about 'Euro Trip' was Vinnie Jones' ...

Mean Machine

Advantages: actually good
Disadvantages: langauge can offend

...exactly warming up to Danny Mean because he betrayed his team in a crucial world cup game. However hard Danny Mean tries through, he just can’t keep his head down. Danny then comes across a opportunity he will never forget, a football game against the guards. Finally the prisoners have the chance to get there own back on the people that beats and tortures them. Danny must now lead the prisoners to victory, however there are some difficulties during ...
...like he did England? The film is amazing, and very enjoyable. -->Disadvantages of the film I personally couldn’t actually spot any disadvantages during the film, however there may be some where people may become offended. There is a lot of swearing during the film, and some crude characters. The film also wasn’t long enough! It lasted approx 99 mins, which was disappointing as the most funniest bits were in the game which was at the end of the film ...

...disgraced ex England captain Danny Mean (Vinnie Jones) is thrown in jail for assaulting two police officers, (which was the best opening scene that I have ever seen in a film), however he is a disgraced ex footballer for a reason and his high status doesn’t serve him well in jail and many f the other inmates aren’t impressed over his part in the crucial World Cup Game, Danny when reaching the high fame and money there was began to look past the passion ...
...I am honestly waiting for mean machine 2 to be released, there will never be another film like this that can make me laugh and smile all the way through. I will recommend this film to everyone, however there is a lot of bad language within the film making the rating at 15, this could cause offence to some people. ...

Disadvantages: none, other than perhaps violence/swearing if you dislike it

...re-made into an english version, Mean Machine, in 2001, starring Vinnie Jones as the leading lad. One of the original writers, Tracy Keenan Wynn, joins Charlie Fletcher, Chris Baker and Andrew Day to bring this up to modern day. The original has also been re-made in 2005, with the same name, starring Adam Sandler, in a more direct re-make. → Plot Danny Meehan (Vinnie Jones) is the disgraced ex-england captain, who gets jailed after drink ...

The Governor has his own semi-pro football team, composed of the guards of the prison, and wants Danny to coach them. Burton, the head guard, complicates his life by informing him that Meehan will NOT be coaching his team. Danny finds a way around it; offer the guards a 'friendly' warm-up match against the cons, who he will coach into shape. Its a struggle to get ...

Not quite The Longest Yard, but almost

Advantages: Feel-good film that has plenty of laughs and plenty of action
Disadvantages: Seen the original? Then you've as good as seen this.

with some aplomb by Robert Aldrich. So, when it was decided that a British remake of this classic was in order, who do you think was cast in the Burt Reynolds role? Somebody sporty was required, who could act a bit, do comedy, and above all could carry a major motion picture on his own broad shoulders. Vinnie Jones doesn?t really spring immediately to mind now, does he? PLOT: The plot for Mean Machine is pretty much exactly the same as that outlined above for The Longest Yard. Vinnie is Danny Meehan, a former England football captain who deliberately gave away a penalty in a game against the Germans. After his inevitable fall from grace, Meehan is locked up for resisting arrest, and finds himself in possibly the most clichéd prison that cinema has ever seen ? psychopaths, crime lords, ordinary ?friendly? types, the wise old man who has ...

Review of The Mean Machine (DVD)

Your average kinda movie

Advantages: see op
Disadvantages: see op

Mean machine has had a good mixture of reviews, ranging from the lowest of low ratings right up to the 5 star ratings. It's a film which the general public just can't seem to make their minds up about, why do some people dislike it so much when others thought it was an enjoyable film? I myself fall into the later category, quite enjoying the film, as predictable as it was! Mean Machine was directed by Barry Skolnick, responsible for films such as...erm...oh, Mean Machine and that's it. Yes, this was the directors first film, and he hasn't done to badly in my view. I can't tell you what the budget was, though being a British film through and through, I should think it wasn't that great! It made just $92,000 in the US Box Office, having said that, it was much a rarity over in the US, with only the biggest of cinemas showing it that had ...

Review of The Mean Machine (DVD)

Ska face

Advantages: Funny
Disadvantages: Not as good as Snatch or LS&2SB

Ska Films had unbelievable success with the two Guy Richie films, Lock Stock and Two Smoking Barrels and Snatch, but decided to make the break from London gangsterland with their next film, Mean Machine. Well, in a sense you could say they continued to indulge their fascination with the dirtier side of life because they exchanged life in gangland on the streets of the Smoke for life in gangland in the nick, but it was a pretty big step away. Many of the standard Ska tricks were still there and Ska veteran Vinnie Jones moved firmly stage centre as former England footballer turned fallen idol and con Danny Meehan, put away for drunken driving and asaulting police officers, but Mean Machine, loosely based on the Burt Reynolds original of the same name, was just a pale and shallow imitation of the previous Ska efforts. It takes the same ...
