Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })The sequel to Speed, released in the year 1997.Turns out that Annie's (Sandra Bullock) relationship with Jack didn't work out, and now she is seeing another police officer named Alex (Jason Patric). He takes her to a trip to the Caribbean, aboard the cruise ship Seabourn Legend. Unfortunately, the easy-going vacation comes to a halt as a disgruntled computer programmer named John Geiger (Willem Dafoe) takes control of the ship, and sets it up with explosives.

comment
The Bad Guy Wins: Granted, it's something of a Pyrrhic Victory, but Annie and Alex are so busy being lovey-dovey that they fail to realize that the bad guy technically achieved virtually everything he set out to do. There was no way the cruise ship would be seaworthy again after crashing nearly a mile inland, he blew up the freighter and killed several people he had a grudge against, including the captain. If not for the slight matter of him getting blown up with the freighter and the diamonds falling into the sea and being salvaged by a third party, Geiger would have achieved a perfect scorecard. And considering Geiger was dying from a terminal illness, the only downside for him is he didn't get to live it up during his remaining time like he'd planned.

Bat Deduction: Alex first gets suspicious when Geiger doesn't watches a golf tournament in the bar after being so persnickety about his good clubs to the maitre'd and in a later scene he very quickly goes from "bad guy somehow brought a lot of bombs into the ship" to "they had to be really tiny bombs (said as he notices some dice on a nearby counter)" to "Geiger had the bombs concealed in his golf balls" and goes looking for him.

Artistic License – Physics: The cruise liner slows down faster when it's just running down yachts than it is when it crashes into the island.
