* KillSat: What the Warden of the PrisonShip was working to turn it into. Fired twice: once to destroy a [[KickTheSonOfABitch shuttle full of escaping (backstabbing) prisoners]] and the second time [[spoiler:fired by Brennan to overload the prison's solar panels and destroy the prison itself]].

* TactfulTranslation: The leader of TheMafiya group on the prisoners only speaks Russian and is extremely crass with his words, and his translator translates it to polite (although equally slimy) requests almost always prefaced with "Mr. Kerensky says…". Example: when he tells his goons to get rid of a double-agent, he says "kill this bitch!" and the translator literally tells her "Mr. Kerensky says that YouHaveOutlivedYourUsefulness".

* ContrastingSequelAntagonist: Warden Poe from the first film, while the director of a HellholePrison, is AffablyEvil, has several hints of humanity when he clearly starts to fall for Karen, and is ultimately revealed to be an ArtificialHuman and as much a victim of the Men-Tel Corporation as the prisoners, with ZED as TheManBehindTheMan. Warden Teller from the sequel is an ice-cold, FauxAffablyEvil and fully organic man who is in no way being controlled by ZED, and is only interested in expanding his own power.
* GreaterScopeVillain: Peter Teller, the Warden of Fortress 2, clearly explains that he was once the Director of Prison Facilities for the Men-Tel Corporation until Brennick's escape from the first Fortress caused his demotion. This makes Teller the boss of Warden Poe from the first film, although here he steps down to BigBad.

* NoPrisonSegregation: The new prison houses men and women together in the same cramped living quarters. They even shower together! As you might expect, PrisonRape is hinted at, although not shown. Since it's a PrisonShip orbiting the Earth, there presumably is no room to even bother. That, and because the inmates are already condemned to death, the administrators are not concerned for their safety either.


Added DiffLines:

* VasquezAlwaysDies: There are quite a few female inmates on Fortress 2, but one that stands out in particular is a muscular, burly woman who is [[SacrificialLamb executed several minutes after arriving]] for attacking one of the guards. Brennick's more attractive and feminine partner lives through to the end.
