Why didn't Stallone just ask Dallas to call his girlfriend?


Dallas, not being in the general population had phone rites. Wouldn't that have made more sense than trying to break out? Sure, they may have denied him, but doesn't it make sense to ask first?

when u hear that ur gf will be raped very soon u dont have time to do anything...besides stallone's GF doesnt know dallas and she will suspect something if he called her and talked to her about being raped.

Yeah, I bet in a real prison that's an easy possibility. This movie would have much better received if factors of a Maximum prison were more realistic.

Life's a bitch that's why I married her!

I'm surprised he didn't talk to either the one helpful guard or the Captain. I think he knew by that point that they were both trustworthy. Then again if he had done that it would be really difficuly to get Frank out and the Warden in.
