Unlike many prison movies that focus solely on the "toughness" of the protagonist, Big Stan focuses on how Stan uses his newfound skills to actually bring peace to the prison yard—albeit through extreme violence. Understanding the Technical Specs
Big Stan was filmed over six weeks in California during the summer of 2006 on a budget of $7.5 million. Its release was unconventional. While it premiered at the KBS Premiere Pictures Festival in South Korea on November 5, 2007, it failed to secure a wide theatrical distributor in the United States. It was ultimately released straight to DVD on March 24, 2009, by HBO Home Video, cementing its "STV" status.
The film follows Stan Minton (played by Schneider), a wealthy, narcissistic real estate con artist who gets caught defrauding elderly buyers. Sentenced to a stint in a brutal maximum-security prison, Stan is terrified of being assaulted behind bars. To survive, he hires a mysterious, eccentric martial arts guru known simply as "The Master" (played by David Carradine). After intensive, unorthodox training, Stan transforms into a lethal martial arts expert. Upon entering prison, instead of becoming a victim, he asserts dominance and ultimately attempts to unite the prison gangs to bring peace to the yard. Cast and Performance
