Payback 2 -- finally!
Porter is back! can't wait
shareThat is exactly the vibe I was getting when I just watched the trailer.
shareno it's not just a vibe -- it is literally the sequel to Payback. that's Porter. people around here don't seem to get that lol

it's been reported as such by various websites over time. but it's pretty obvious to anyone paying attention.
-- mel gibson is doing the porter voice/narration -- exact same tone/delivery
-- mel gibson's a criminal driver
-- mel gibson's a pickpocket
-- the parallel of thugs beating him up in a chair and destroying/removing two toes, which were smashed by kris kristofferson's goons in the non-director's cut version of payback
in other words, it's payback 2.

good grief you guys are acting like this is my opinion lol. IT IS THE SEQUEL TO PAYBACK... it was originally titled "How I Spent My Summer Vacation"

There's a lot of evidence to suggest this is in fact Payback 2. Was this an issue of he didn't have rights to the character so he just made a movie about the character where he's never named? Anyhow, i'm in, can't wait to see it.
"I said no camels, that's five camels, can't you count?"
okay mea culpa -- in spite of what i'd read on the internet, and the obvious connection in the trailer, it's not an "offical" sequel. but it does appear to be one spiritually, at least, so it's the same difference. except he's not porter, he's just an unnamed driver. which is what porter was lol.
anyway, for all intents and purposes it IS payback 2, which is all that matters. it's just that the first film was paramount/warner, and this is fox.
Mel is Sly as a Fox! I love the picture of him on Google declaring that "Get The Gringo" will air on Satellite TV as of May 1, 2012(May Day)! He's standing in front of a poster with the viewable words "Help Haiti...". Ah, Help Hate? Anyone Out There? Mel is beginning to resemble Hannibal Lecter in that picture. He's an Actor, By God! Love The Guy! He's just Human like the rest of US! I'm a recovering addict, so I totally relate. All the money in the world doesn't mean Jack! We all end up Jacks In A Box! Take Care. Phil.(Thanks for allowing me to Phil-A-Buster). Yeah! I Love Mel's Goofy Sense Of Humor, Too!

Um, Mel Gibson is American. He was born in Peekskill, New York.

You're placing far too much emphasis on a birthplace. Mel Gibson is an Australian, it's just a fact. He was in the bloody Sullivans for *beep* sake. You can't get much more Aussie than that.

Scientologists love Narnia, there's plenty of closet space.
In the movie, they ask him his name, and he says "Richard Johnson", so there goes the un-named driver aspect. :/
On the good side, it is available today on DVD/BluRay and on demand. I'll be picking up a copy tomorrow, if there's any left. Payback was a GREAT movie, and I've been waiting a long time for a sequel...
That was clearly an alias, Richard Johnson, aka Dick Dick.

I hope you're joking. Not trying to be touchy about this but it was pretty clear that "Richard Johnson" was a joke (both words are a slang for something in US). It was one of several names Mel's character used and this one was used to make it clear that he was not going to say anything about himself to the American official. share
Yeah and the internet is right about everything and tells no lies. Where is the confirmation FROM THE PRODUCERS AND MEL GIBSON.
On the small possibility that this is a sequel, where is what's her name? Love of his life and he makes no mention of her. Dude deal with it its NOT a sequel to Payback
Get The Gringo is no more the sequel to Payback than Casino was the sequel to Good Fellas.
'Then' and 'than' are completely different words and have completely different meanings.
