Cars 2	comment	Cars 2 is the Actionized Sequel to Cars, released in June 2011, and the first Pixar sequel to a movie other than Toy Story.Oil Baron-turned-electric-vehicle Sir Miles Axlerod has discovered Allinol, a new clean alternative fuel source. To promote it, he creates and sponsors the first ever World Grand Prix, where the best racers compete to see who's the fastest car in the world. One of the finalists is Piston Cup winner Lightning McQueen, who brings along his friends from Radiator Springs as his pit crew, along with first-time team member Tow Mater.Unfortunately, when an intelligence exchange goes awry, Mater gets mistaken for a master American spy. When he accidentally screws up Lightning McQueen's competition against Formula One racecar Francesco Bernoulli, Mater ends up getting recruited by British espionage agents Finn McMissile and Holley Shiftwell to help them stop the machinations of a lemon car crime syndicate led by international weapons developer Professor Zundapp and his enigmatic boss, the Lemon Kingpin, who want to sabotage the World Grand Prix and Allinol so that they can eliminate this threat to their monopoly on fuel. Now, while McQueen struggles against his guilt, Mater must balance his duty to save the world and his efforts to save McQueen, who is quickly being targeted...A video game adaptation, Cars 2: The Video Game, was released on June 21, 2011.

Cars 2 / int_19ebe383	comment	Never Trust a Trailer: Most of the film's trailers and marketing indicated that Finn would mistake both Mater and Lightning for secret agents and rope them into the mission, and some promotional screencaps show Lightning and Finn interacting in scenes where only one of them is present in the finished product note Most notably, one shows Finn leading McQueen and Mater in their tour around Tokyo and another shows McQueen driving alongside Mater and Finn during the tarmac chase. McQueen and the other Radiator Springs residents are not involved or aware of the spy storyline for the bulk of the film, and Mater is only mistaken for a secret agent because the real agent plants the MacGuffin on him.

Cars 2 / int_1c445e86	type	Poor Communication Kills
Cars 2 / int_1c445e86	comment	Poor Communication Kills: The film's plot revolves around Mater being mistaken for an American spy, and the various conflicts and misunderstandings that occur as a result. During the Tokyo race, Mater tries to have a conversation with Holley over his headset while still on the line to McQueen, which distracts the latter and causes him to lose the race. When explaining himself afterwards, Mater mentions hearing Holley's voice in his head, which makes Lightning assume that Mater's "girlfriend" is imaginary, making him even angrier. While Holley shows some doubts about his methods during the mission, she and Finn wholeheartedly believe that Mater is the real spy. Even when Mater has no knowledge about intel he supposedly collected, causes constant setbacks for their mission and even tells them outright that he's just an ordinary tow truck, Finn believes that Mater is just being extremely dedicated to his cover story, which leads to him being Innocently Insensitive when he later compliments Mater for playing an "idiot tow truck" so well. During the climax, Mater realizes that the Lemons strapped a bomb to him in order to kill Lightning; and he desperately tries to drive away from McQueen while the latter tries to apologize for their earlier falling out. During the chase, Lightning interprets Mater's various warnings as simple words of regret, not realizing what's actually going on until he sees the bomb for himself.

Cars 2 / int_22cf536c	comment	Chekhov's Gun: Done by Pixar themselves — a key aspect of Cars 2 is Mater's habit of fanciful storytelling, which causes his friends to dismiss his claims of espionage adventure as mere stories. Since this was a characteristic not shown in the first film, it was feared that its sudden appearance would look like an Ass Pull, so the "Mater's Tall Tales" shorts were created to establish this trait two years in advance. Also done literally with Mater's gatling guns which he uses to escape from being tied up in Big Bentley.

Because of this, the end of the London race is not shown and it isn't revealed who won. With the epilogue showing a new race taking place in Radiator Springs, it could be that the London Race was cut short without a decisive winner due to Axelrod's arrest, but this is not said outright, and the film ends before we see who wins.

In international localizations of the film, he is replaced by other racing celebrities that are better known to the locality than Jeff Gordon: The Australian release features V8 Supercar racer Mark Winterbottom as "Frosty" (his Real Life nickname). The Spanish release features Formula One racer Fernando Alonso as himself and uses a Spanish sports broadcaster as one of the race announcers. The Russian release features Formula One racer Vitaly Petrov. The Mexican release features Rolex Sports car racer Memo Rojas Jr. The German release features Formula One racer Sebastian Vettel as "Max Schnell". Schnell is already in all versions of the film, but he gets an extra line in the German version. The Swedish release features Touring Car racer Jan Nilsson as "Flash". The Brazilian release features retired racer Emerson Fittipaldi, and the announcers were dubbed by local sports broadcasters.

Guess who's actually right! Also, the line "But I never leak oil!" Guess who was with Mater when the tow truck saw a puddle of oil on the carpet! At the same time when the leaking occurs, the oil has a rather jagged and pointed area which points in the direction of Axelrod, foreshadowing who really leaked. A blink-and-you-miss when the leaking occurs. Axelrod flinches and reverses away from the oil, but Mater does not. Also, he sounds nervous as he backs away, and seems to grunt slightly before the oil is released. Three words. "Rear view mirrors." You can see Axlerod's rear view mirrors on the Lemon Kingpin while he's making his speech.

The Tokyo race includes a dirt track, where Mater reminds Lightning to use the skills that Doc Hudson taught him about turning on dirt in the first movie. "Whoever that tow truck is, he's got to be the world's best backwards driver!" The ending with Finn and Holley's last scene is scripted word-for-word from the similar scene in the first film, about the supporting cast being in debt to the main character and the reply, "I appreciate that, thank you. ...Actually, there is one thing...", followed by a Gilligan Cut. Mater (who said the reply here) was the main beneficiary both times. The Japan scenes could actually be this to ''Tokyo Mater'', complete with a brief cameo of Kabuto. Is also economical—Pixar created the shorts so they could reuse models and environments for the sequel!

Cars 2 / int_be81113b	comment	While Holley shows some doubts about his methods during the mission, she and Finn wholeheartedly believe that Mater is the real spy. Even when Mater has no knowledge about intel he supposedly collected, causes constant setbacks for their mission and even tells them outright that he's just an ordinary tow truck, Finn believes that Mater is just being extremely dedicated to his cover story, which leads to him being Innocently Insensitive when he later compliments Mater for playing an "idiot tow truck" so well.
