YMMV / Lock Up

• Awesome Music:
  • Bill Conti's score, particularly during the football game.
  • The Ides of March's "Vehicle," heard during the Hard-Work Montage.
• Germans Love David Hasselhoff: The movie was very well received in central Europe during the last echoes of the Cold War.
• Moral Event Horizon:
  • Warden Drumgoole crosses it by transferring Frank Leone into his prison and trying to keep him locked up beyond his sentence for the sole purpose of getting back at him for humiliating him all those years ago. Drumgoole is only motivated by petty revenge, and if that motivation alone isn't enough for you, then wait until you see what methods he uses to try to provoke and abjectly humiliate Leone...
  • Chink Weber crosses it after many petty torments of Frank Leone when he murders First Base on the Warden's orders. Until that point Leone had been avoiding active resistance, but this pushes him over the edge to personally fight Weber in the prison yard.
• Retroactive Recognition: Danny Trejo appears as a member of Chink's gang.
