PREVIEW
Directed by AND starring Rob Schneider? Uh-oh.. the alarm bells are already ringing. Big Stan is about a con-artist (Schneider), who learns that he's going to prison for fraud. Worried that he's going to be gang-raped while on the inside, he hires a martial arts expert (David Carradine), who trains him to protect himself. While incarcerated, he uses his new skills to intimidate his fellow inmates, but also gains their respect and brings harmony to the prison yard - until a corrupt warden hatches a Machiavellian plan to undo the peace. The fact that Schneider described this as an 'anti-man-raping film' says it all, really.
