	Mean Machine
		There is a big reason why Mean Machine resembles the cult classic 1974 film The Longest Yard; it is based on the original play.
		Mean Machine does manage to rise above the fray for its duration, because of an amusing script and a decent soccer match, but this is still forgettable stuff.
		The one notable thing about this movie is that it seemingly stole a significant amount of the cast from the recent Greenfingers, which also took place in a prison (hey, economies of scale work).

	Mean Machine (2001)
		However, "Mean Machine" sets out to mix it up a bit with an English locale, oddball characters, an uncompromisingly witty screenplay, and agressive direction.
		While watching "Mean Machine," I found it hard to believe that it wasn't directed by its supervising producer Guy Ritchie, and found it harder to figure out why he didn't.
		"Mean Machine" made less than $100,000 at the box office due to its limited release and is already available on video, where I saw it.

	DVD REVIEW: "MEAN MACHINE" (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-10)
		The history of stolen cinema is littered with films that took little known previous efforts and turned them into good and occasionally even great remakes, as well as those that flopped and/or tainted the original for any number of reasons.
		In the original film, Burt Reynolds played a convict who serves as the prison team's quarterback as they play the mean, despicable and dastardly guards under the control of Eddie Albert's warden character.

	Mean Machine & The Angel Gang
		Young Mean was the white sheep of the Angel family, because as a boy he was bad at all.
		Poor Mean was horrified as he was prepared for an operation in which his right arm was replaced with a mechanical claw and a special numbered dial was fixed to his fore-head.
		Mean Machine was resurrected by the Judge Child, however, and he was sent back to Earth to kill Dredd.

	Mean Machine - Schedule
		The Mean Machine tried desperately to keep pace, scoring 2 TD's on bomb passes from Anthony to Joe, a TD on a pass from Anthony to Kellie, and a 2-pt PAT on a diving catch by Jeremy.
		In a see-saw 2nd half, the Mean Machine scored on a pair of TD catches by Brenda (from Kellie and Anthony), a TD run by Anthony, and 2-point PAT's by Chris (not that Chris, the "new" one) and Anthony.
		The Mean Machine carefully worked the clock on their final drive, re-taking the lead with 18 seconds to go on a TD pass from Kellie to Anthony.

	dOc DVD Review: Mean Machine (2002)
		Mean Machine is one those movies, and ironically, it's a remake of the 1974, American film The Longest Yard, starring Burt Reynolds.
		Mean Machine features almost all of the central cast of Barrels and Snatch, and it also is directed very much in a Guy Ritchie style, though the chair belonged to Barry Skolnick.
		Mean Machine is, in my opinion, superior to the film on which it is based, which may sound like heresy to some.

	Metroactive Movies \| 'Mean Machine'
		So Mean Machine, a British remake of an American football film (1975's The Longest Yard, starring Burt Reynolds), loses much in transition across the Atlantic and back.
		Mean Machine still posits the British notion that sports build character: "The battle of Waterloo was won on the playing fields of Eton" and all that.
		Mean Machine (R; 99 min.), directed by Barry Skolnick, written by Tracy Keenan Wynn, Charlie Fletcher, Chris Baker and Andrew Day, photographed by Alex Barber and starring Vinnie Jones and Jason Statham, opens Friday at the AMC Saratoga 14.

	EMRR's Review: Estes Industries - Mean Machine
		Many people build their Mean Machine so that it separates in the middle of the body tube(s) instead of at the nose cone.
		On a D12 motor, the Mean Machine flies pretty low (definitely in sight), so you might consider trying some E motors.
		There are three reasons for this: (1) less internal area to pressurize for chute ejection, (2) this makes the Mean Machine easier to transport, and (3) the long, narrow body of the rocket is very susceptible to warping over time, if not stored carefully.

	Mean Machine (2002): Reviews
		I'm not sure Mean Machine is any worse than "The Longest Yard," but it lacks the nihilistic '70s background that lent the latter's combination of humor and brutality an air of (arguably bogus) social commentary.
		Mean Machine may not have the resonance to linger in the memory affectionately as "The Longest Yard" does, but it plays well, with a fast pace and plenty of punch.
		In Mean Machine, soccer is pretty much an excuse to watch a bunch of grown men smashing their heads together.

	Mean Machine Angel - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		As well as working on his own, Mean Machine occasionally teams up with other crooks, such as Judge Death (in Judgement on Gotham).
		In a parallel universe, ruled by Judge Dread (an insane version of Judge Dredd), Mean Machine is one of Dread's lieutenants and has a 5th setting- Book a Plot in the Cemetery.

		The star Mean Machine Mehann agrees on the condition that he orchistrate a pre-season "friendly" between the guards and the cons, the latter will be picked and coached by Vinnie Jones.
		Barry Skolnick's "Mean Machine" is more than inspired by "The Longest Yard;" it's based on the same Tracy Keenan Wynn screenplay, and indeed "Mean Machine" was even the original title of "The Longest Yard." The movie stars Vinnie Jones, a real-life footballer so tough he didn't even play for England, he played for Wales.
		"Mean Machine" lacks the social satire of "The Longest Yard," which was a true early 1970s film and therefore anti-establishment.

	JoBlo reviews the movie "Mean Machine"
		What that means is that some scenes in the movie contained straight-out slapstick comedic elements, while other scenes would be dead serious with murders, flmail and intense showdowns which seemed very out of place in this otherwise, "light" film.
		Sure, Vinnie held it together with his mean kick and surly expression, but some of his sidekicks weren't as effective.
		The two commentators during the soccer "match" were also quite the hoot, and the scene in which the young kid is used as an exhibit to showcase what type of "fouls" are committed during the games, was hilarious.

	BBC - Films - review - Mean Machine
		Not only does he remake Robert Aldrich's classic American prison film "The Mean Machine" (aka "The Longest Yard") as a British comedy, but he puts Vinnie Jones in the lead role and dumbs down Aldrich's satire into a cross between Porridge and "Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels".
		As remakes go, "Mean Machine" is something of a smash and grab raid on Aldrich's cult classic.
		Shamelessly lifting all the best lines from the original, excising the political commentary and playing up the violent comedy, this new version gives a two-fingered salute to all notions of cinematic respect, trampling over Aldrich's masterpiece like a squad of elephants in football boots.
