![]() Faux Action Girl: Annie turns into this, which is one of the film's many complaints.Die Laughing: Geiger laughs after his plane crashes onto an oil tanker before it explodes."Die Hard" on an X: The passengers are unable to jump ship without being sucked into the ship's propellers.Actor Joe Morton goes uncredited for his return. Demoted to Extra: Mac from the first film only has a cameo at the start of the film.The reason Annie and Jack aren't together: Relationships based on intense experiences never work.The guy whose Jaguar (license plate: TUNEMAN) gets wrecked in the first movie appears again to have his boat (the Tune Man) commandeered by Alex.Chekhov's Skill: Alex knowing American Sign Language and there's a deaf teenager on board the ship.Chainsaw Good: Annie finds two in a closet and uses one of them to saw through a metal door.Busman's Holiday: The main characters are supposed to be on a holiday.Best Served Cold: Geiger is steamed at the cruise line for firing him when he was diagnosed with a terminal illness.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. 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. 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. 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.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.Award-Bait Song: Make Tonight Beautiful by Tamia.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.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. He takes her to a trip to the Caribbean, aboard the cruise ship Seabourn Legend. 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). ↑ Joystiq - Need for Speed film debuts on Feb.The sequel to Speed, released in the year 1997. ![]()
