Go To

  • Complete Monster: Warden Peter Teller is the man in charge of the orbital "Fortress 2" prison. As the former Director of Prison Facilities for the MenTel Corporation, Teller is responsible for a brutal prison network where criminals ranging from murderers all the way down to people trying to conceive a child contrary to the dystopian government's laws are used as slave labor and killed or tortured for the smallest transgressions, while the women are forced to breed MenTel's new generation of artificial humans. After being demoted as a result of John Brennick's prior escape from the original Fortress, Teller has Brennick and his resistance allies captured and put into the new prison, promising him that his wife Karen and his young son Danny will soon join him. Teller allows his guards to brutalize and kill prisoners with impunity and punishes troublemakers with confinement to "The Hole", alternatively exposing them to the sun's lethal heat and radiation and the freezing cold of space. Teller eventually attempts to overthrow his own bosses with a Kill Sat weapon before trying to have Brennick spaced.
  • Sequelitis: While the first movie isn't considered a groundbreaking masterpiece, this Recycled In Space sequel has had a worse reception for lacking Stuart Gordon's energetic direction that makes the original an enjoyable watch and for suffering from some serious Special Effects Failure moments.
