    • Trivia
      Gary Oldman turned down the role of the villain, and instead chose to make Air Force One (1997).
    • Goofs
      In several scenes, many passengers are stuck behind "fire screen doors" and unable to get out. These doors open like any normal doors with the recessed handle built right into them. You can see this handle when the chainsaw is used. Even if the passengers were somehow stuck behind water-tight doors, those can always be opened via a manual crank.
    • Quotes

      Annie Porter: Jack, he was never the romantic type. For our anniversary he gives me pepper spray. PEPPER SPRAY. I think it's perfume. I end up in the emergency room.

    Episodic sequel lacking the original's thematic strength
    An American action adventure thriller and sequel to the 1994 hit "Speed". Sadly, this follow up set on a slow moving cruise ship lacked the impetus of the original's theme-as-action. It has some very impressive stunts and it never fails to look busy, but the story is crammed with too many action events and has a drab script. The dialogue is cliched, the characterization as thin as gruel, the plot devices overfamiliar, and the action sequences fail to generate any excitement. Jason Patric fails to fully impose himself as the lead and Sandra Bullock is disappointingly sidelined into producing a frenetic character and she ends up overworking her character. Willem Dafoe looks the part but acts tough rather than playing tough. All in all, it's action packed but froths over. The finale does justify sticking with it because back in 1997 it was most expensive stunt ever filmed.
