Dave Bautista slams the 'Fast and Furious' franchise.

After he trashed the Gary Scott Thompson-created film franchise, another Twitter user reminded Bautista of his own film "Escape Plan 2: Hades", which was a major disaster according to most critics. "Presumably Big Dave has already forgotten Escape Plan 2....," the said user wrote to the actor.

Defending himself, Bautista seemed to admit that the "Escape Plan" sequel was a bad movie, but he still takes pride in the opportunity to star opposite action movie legend Sylvester Stallone. "Genius! Big Dave didnt state that he's never done a bad film," he replied to the tweet. "But I did them for particular reasons that helped build an 'acting' career. And I got to work with Sly so in your face with that! You're dismissed!"
