Speed 2: Cruise Control - Awfully Good Movies
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 30 сен 2024
- Although the 2020 summer movie season has been endangered by the coronavirus, that isn't gonna stop Awfully Good Movies from breaking out the beach balls and sunscreen to celebrate the Awfully 90s Summer--a series of reviews from May to August focusing on bad movies from the nostalgic pleasure center known as the 1990s, and we're kicking off our socially distanced summer party with one of the biggest disappointments of the decade...SPEED 2: CRUISE CONTROL! When director Jan de Bont's action thriller about a bomb on a bus ended up as one of the biggest movies of 1994, it made sense that 20th Century Fox would immediately get cracking on another SPEED adventure that would reunite Jan de Bont with the movie's breakout romantic duo of Keanu Reeves and Sandra Bullock.
Unfortunately, Keanu's reaction to the SPEED 2 script was less "whoa" and more "no", so this time, Sandra Bullock has been upgraded to our leading lady while the role of her hotshot cop boyfriend is now played by everyone's favorite Lost Boy, Jason Patric. And instead of preventing a bus from being blown up by a demented Dennis Hopper, Annie and her new beau are now on a romantic getaway aboard a Carribean cruise liner when it gets hijacked by a disgruntled former employee of the cruise company as played by another famous cinema psycho, Willem Dafoe, who plots to rock this boat right into a nearby island while he gets away with a stash of diamonds. But instead of giving us another high-octane action blockbuster, Jan de Bont turns SPEED 2 into the biggest disaster involving a cruise ship until the coronavirus outbreak, as Sandra Bullock's character is somehow given less to do despite her top billing, and Jason Patric's character is clearly a badly rewritten variation on Keanu's character without any of Jack Traven's charisma.
On the plus side, though, you do have Willem Dafoe camping it the hell up as our bad guy like only Willem Dafoe can, along with plenty of disaster movie cliches to laugh at along the way and a reappearance from not just Joe Morton, but also that dude whose new car got commandeered and crashed by Keanu in the first movie...unfortunately, no cameo from the charred remains of Jeff Daniels. So while it may not be the best cruise ship disaster movie of 1997--thanks a lot, James Cameron--SPEED 2 is at the very least a delightfully bad start to our Awfully 90s Summer...as well as a more enjoyable Jan de Bont sequel than TOMB RAIDER 2. Go Ninja, Go Ninja, GO!

The boys at Rifftrax said it best, "Willem Dafoe: when you need a movie monster but can't afford the makeup."
I just rewatched that SPIDER MAN RiffTrax recently; good stuff!
Not just making it a serum and painting his face green was the biggest waste of his face. No they had to make him wear a frickin helmet.
He certainly looks like he 'knows his stuff' in the thumbnail!
😂😂😂
Willam Defoe is the perfect villan. Its right in his name. He's da foe.
Villian Da Foe
Da Fart
Willem
Lol Boooooooo that was worst than Jesse saying he does has an army his name is Armie
@@cnabutler07 *worse
Only thing I even remotely like about this movie is William Defoe's over the top performance.
And that was the best thing about the movie..
You should see him in Spider Man
@@ooneto193110 I did.
Willem
@Captain Brandon Cinema Lover Check out his film YOUR FRIENDS AND NEIGHBORS. That's literally why he did this movie--to fund that one. But brace yourself. It's a harsh film.
Fun fact: the stunt of the ship crashing through St Maarten is still the most expensive stunt ever filmed , costing almost as much as the budget of the first “Speed”.
Milhouse: It’s like Speed 2, only with a bus instead of a boat!
More bad 90's movies dude. 90's rocked for these stinkers. Speed 2 more like Titanic Lite.
There was actually an episode of Father Ted called “Speed 3”, the joke was that a bomb was attached to a milk float which had to drive above 5 miles an hour
That was the best ever Father Ted.
"Pat Mustard!"
Family Guy did a Speed 3 joke too
This sequel represents a massive drop in quality in comparison to the first film.
Why of course.
The boat crashing into the small town represents this movie crashing everything that's good about the first film.
@@alienboy1322 The fact they found a mode of transport that is even slower than a bus in a film called Speed, is hilarious.
@@rockinchimp
I guess the title "Speed 2: this time it's a cruise ship that moves slower than a bus" wouldn't sell tickets.
@@alienboy1322 That was obvious from the trailer which is part of why it made no money haha.
Willem Dafoe is pretty much the best thing about Speed 2. He's very watchable in just about any move role.
I think he's up there with Nicolas Cage as one of those actors who can make something out of whatever movie he's in, good or bad. And dammit, he at least deserved an Oscar nod for LIGHTHOUSE.
Peaple may like the new spiderman movies but teh green goblin played by William Dafoe it was sad to see him die tho wanted more of him
Willem Dafoe is on par with Nicholas Cage. Can be both hero and villain. Both have history of serious roles and hilarious ones.
“I’m something of a film critic myself”
I don’t think Speed 2 is as bad as it’s made out to be but it’s still not worth seeing either. Dafoe was ok and was easily the most interesting thing about the movie but he still was no Dennis Hopper from Speed 1. But if Speed 2 is to be remembered for anything good it’s for sure Dafoe.
*Watched the first movie Gd knows how many times. Watched this once.*
Data Grab same. Last time I saw it was in the theater when I was like in 8th grade. Was not impressed lol
Me too , I haven’t seen this movie since the 90s
Same saw it once at the cinema back in 97, and that was enough.
@@spaceodds1985 I can’t believe this garbage was in cinemas.
If you think Willem Defoe grin id scary, tr looking at his O face from them "erotic" thriller he did with Madonna Body of Evidence. It caused me as many nightmares as the Cats movie did,
Thank you! Now I can never get that mental image out of my head (it's a joke, don't take it seriously)
I know, I've seen Todd in the Shadows' review of that movie...**shudder** That could be a future review right there.
This was the funniest sh*t I've watched in a while. So well edited and timed to make all the jokes work perfectly. The guy that does these is hilarious. "You know how much I sacrificed"!
Thanks so much! It's always good to see the hard work on these videos pay off in the final product, and I'm glad so many people enjoy them.
I liked speed 2 I’m disappointed there are not enough cruise ship hijack movies.
I think what killed this movie was the fact that TITANIC came out the same year.
"Quarantine Qontrol" you have inflicted real physical pain on me.
Yeah, that semi-pervy stuff with that little girl was weird and gross.
I was laughing when you show The Critic's Penguins Can't Fly. Then I was howling. Thanks, mate. Well needed laughs.
You're welcome, dude, always a thrill to know I'm putting a smile on people's faces right now.
I was 11 when I saw this and I think this was the first movie that made me realize some movies are terrible and that I was capable of looking at films critically.
LOL! For me, that movie was MASTER OF DISGUISE at age 12, a good five years after seeing SPEED 2 in the theater.
If this movie wasn't called Speed 2 everyone would love it cmon now
I remember going to the theater on a night out. I had a choice between seeing this or Con Air. Sadly, I picked this.
Thankfully, I saw both in the theater and preferred CON AIR by a country mile. But still, oof.
wstine79
Yikes!
Cant win them all.
This is easily one of the most pointless sequels of all time. Why does this movie remind so much of another infamous sequel, being xXx State of the Union?
Well, the shared use of Willem Dafoe is notable, not to mention the replacement of its star with a less charismatic actor. I'll have to do a contrast and compare between those two.
Speed never needed a sequel
@@HarryMudd I agree.
YEE LIKE MEE LOBSTER DON’T YEEE?!
Why does anyone care about what salon has to say
They were the one who thought the joker movie was alt right propaganda
Willem Dafoe's face on the thumbnail tho
classic meme
God bless you guys for watching this. I was in college the summer it came out. And in 23 years I haven’t had it in me to watch it. Best decision Keanu Reeves ever made.
No Keanu, no watch movie. Doesn't look like I missed anything
It´s. Bad. The only redeeming factor is Bullock, she´s cute.
I agree with both of you. spread the word: movie is bad, don't watch
Kathy Jacques it was not a good movie not even Willem Dafoe as the villain could save the movie. Jason Patric was not a good choice to take over as main actor for Keanu Reeves.
That's like the opposite of Bram Stoker's Dracula. No Keanu=One of the best movies of all time.
christian miller I agree Jason Patric could have gone on to be a good action star as he was good in The Lost Boys which was a classic horror comedy. It’s crazy to think of all the talent in that movie Kiefer Sutherland was one of the only actors to make it as a big enough actor in movies and tv. Jason Patric didn’t want to become a huge star either and turned down a number of roles.
Yea that was totally weird when the story line had the 14yr old trying to get with the super hero. Nothing new from the Hollywood perverts out there..
The force ghost of Jeff Daniels. 🤣🤣🤣 Life lesson a former gruntled employee of the police department. Might have turned his whole entire house into one giant bomb.
I worked in a cinema, i saw this many, many times. also i love the fact that Alex suspected John Geiger, because he brought golf clubs, but didn't watch golf on the tv! That's nothing that should raise suspiscion, he's meant to be on holiday.
Also Hope Floats, is a crappy film. A woman getting divorced who has a brat of a daughter. Great choice there Sandra!
I'm excited about the "Awful movies 90's Summer" edition!
Me too!
God I love the 90's
Ah yes, the sequel to The Bus That Couldn't Slow Down.
They should have made her main protagnist if keanu is not available
I saw it in the cinema - and it was AWFUL.
The first "Speed" was quite realistic (hold your breath and think about it) - this one was bad from beginning to end!
Speed 3 was amazing.
"We put the brick on the accelarator."
It alway made me laugh, that crazy willem Defoe eyes and grin
Are we simply going to skip the fact that the main actor has more chemistry with the deaf girl then with Sandra Bullock?
Dude, you're crushing it. Drop the wine coolers and sit over there. LOL
Speed 2, The Pest, Blues Brothers 2000. 1997/98 was not kind to Joe Morton
At least we will always remember him more from Terminator 2 and the first Speed.
I always imagined that Sandy Bollock poops little parcels that are perfectly formed and smell of Spring flowers.
“ >:•OOO DO YOU KNOW HOW MUCH I SACRIFICED?!?!?! >:•OOO”-William Dafoe in every film he’s been in
You almost got me choking on my lunch, this shit got me dying! Great job as always Jesse. 🤣👍👍
Ah man, this was brilliant, bravo Jesse!
Willem defo looked as if he ran out of pants to sniff in this
I actually remembering watching that Siskel and Ebert review -- watched their show every Saturday after cartoons went off.
Even as a kid, I was shocked that they fawned over Speed 2, yet shit all over 8 Heads in a Duffel Bag. At least I had fun watching that one.
I'm only here because of the Willem Dafoe thumbnail.
Amazing how britoins can produce so many massively annoying bestselling bands (like UB 40).
The highlight of the first film was Keanu's "it's a cans, cans".
I knew they’d be references to The Lighthouse
Speed/Die Hard crossover starring Keanu Reeves and Mary Elizabeth Winstead, go!
I really like this one. Dafoe is brilliant as a villain
"Who's ready to party on The Big Boat besides me"
With Sandre Bullock, he'll yes.
@Bus Stop
As long as there's zero Willem Dafoe, I accept.
@@alienboy1322 it's a line in the film Sandra Bullock says
@@BusStopProductions.
Does she say to Willem Dafoe "pop quiz hotshot?"
I like this movie but Willem Defoes actions towards the end make so little sense. Why does he bother taking Annie hostage when he leaves the ship. If he just dumps her on the boat and bails then he is gone.
Yikes. The topical political/ COVID jokes are already cringe.
I am Assuming they wanted to make Speed 2 to make it more family Friendly, As the DVD rates it as PG
Got a great idea for speed 2 it’s set on a cruise liner 🙈
"Baha Boyz II Men" and "Eunice Braxton" 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
LOL. Imagine, taking a whole week for word to get out that a movie is a total shit sandwich. Studios must hate social media.
I've always wondered why they went to all the trouble to make Defoe a helmet for Spider-Man, when he can easily pull a wacky smile with no makeup at all. All they'd need is to put a bit of CGI on him and bingo!
Speed 3: Quarantine Control
Don't give them ideas men 😕
You can never takedown DA FOE.
[Dafoe:IMPRESSIVE!]
5 ads made me fast forward to the end and rewatched this...I don't care that nuch
I really want to watch the puddle of mud cover but can’t bring myself to click the link...
I have this movie on dvd in my collection, it is ok for me, of course The first speed movie it's amazing, a masterpiece
That’s exactly how I felt about this movie when I watched it for the first time when I was a kid and when I watched it again on HBO Max recently to see if I’d have a change of heart..It’s nowhere near as good as the first and it’s not a masterpiece by any means, but I didn’t think it was a trash like everybody said..It was just simply ok and nothing more..
It puzzles me that Siskel and Ebert gave this a two thumbs up.
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 great view 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Who else entered because of Sandra's bikini, hoping to see more???
Liars!
Hahaha 🤣
Sandra is a biological male
How could we? The thumbnail is that trademark Willem Dafoe grotesque grimace. You might be willing to stomach SPEED 2 just to see him here.
It's always a pleasure to hear from you, Jesse.
The world's gonna need Jesse Shade.
Dude, that genuinely means a lot for you to say that. This show has gotten me out of so many low places, especially now that we're all in a collective low place, and when life gets hard to take, as it has been for me the past few years, I always remember comments like yours telling me how much the show means to you and feel empowered to keep on doing it. Take care, brother, and thanks for being a friend and fan.
@@JoBloOriginals
You're absolutely welcome.
These “Awfully good “ videos are f’ing hilarious! But I only see two of them. This one and “The Mummy(2017). Are there any more?
Oh, I've been making these for six years now; all you gotta do is search for Awfully Good Movies on RUclips, and you'll find my other 100+ episodes. Hope you enjoy them, even though my earlier episodes are rough around the edges.
JoBlo Videos cool! Thank you!! 🙂
Do “the net” movie. 1995 technology lol
I almost cringed to death from Puddle of Mudd before the video even really started.
Jesus, I feel violated. That was terrible. lol
Kurt is spinning in his grave
I know you were joking on the Toni Braxton thing but that's Tamia. She's pretty much R&B 90s too.
Love Tamia. Had no clue she was in this though. Weird.
I was really expecting Sandras character to say, “how can the same shit happen to the same guy twice”
I saw that one.
Awfully Good movies is literally the funniest thing on RUclips 😂
Ah, it´s bad.. Seen it once.. Never again..
Damn it Jesse, even in my darkest moments, I can always count on your clips to squeeze at least one full belly laugh out of me (Ebert’s tombstone was the culprit this time around).
19:06 : "For the love of Ass !" LOL
Another hilarious episode of AGM in the can. Congrats, Jesse!
Christine Firkins was my first love, my parents rented this flick from Blockbuster when I was 9, and I fell asleep when they put their movies, but when the "Deaf Girl" came on screen.....I didn't sleep until I knew she was okay lol. My first crush.
I DID NOT EVEN KNOW THIS MOVIE EXISTED!
and I would watch Speed on repeat back in the day, until the matrix came out.
Take my word for it- if you watch it, you may hate yourself. It’s up there with “The Room” and “Deadly Prey” in awfulness.
Jason Patric was on Entourage for a few episodes, and he has a great line referencing this flick, it's kind of a sleeper, none of my friends got it, I guess they watch *good* movies. So, he's talking to Vince on set: "You know they offered me that Aquaman 2..." Vince: "You passed on it?" Jason: "Yeah, sequels, water... that's not for me."
Speed is one of my favorite movies, I loved the action, suspense and the intensity of the characters. You can actually feel the characters are in danger. Speed 2: Cruise Control tries something different, but lacks the intensity. William Dafoe is hamming it up to make the movie entertaining. Everything else, it's pitiful. Mark Gordon, the producer and Graham Yost, the writer weren't even asked to participate. A blessing in disguise for them
Whenever you write 'Speed 2' on RUclips, you are greeted with William Dafoe's iconic face. 😂
Speed 2 wasn't great. It really was not as good as the original Speed. Jason Patric is no Keanu Reeves and it wasn't the same without him. In the film, Annie telling that the reason why she broke up with Jack Traven was because he was crazy which wasn't a good enough reason. Because of Speed 2 not doing well at the Box Office and the film being a poor sequel to a classic action movie we never got Speed 3. Speed 2 killed the Speed franchise.
Alvin and The Chipmunks ChipWrecked would've been alot better if William Defoe reprised his role from Speed 2 Cruise Control We could've been treated to William Dafoe weenie roasting them over a fire
Your Eunice Braxton joke falls flat the singer was Tamia and this was her debut in film , if you don't know who Tamia is, google is a thing
No offense meant to Tamia, I don't know who she is. She's not a bad singer at all, it's just that her song sounded a lot like Toni Braxton.
Well bottom line is cruise ship hijack movies are just not entertaining enough I’ve seen 6 of them and there not taken seriously.
I liked the movie because it builds up the suspense but I mean the ship wasn’t moving fast but the action inside the ship was. I mean people like titanic and that took its sweet time and people liked die hard so they should have liked this it’s like a building moving in water.
They should have started this movie with Bullock breaking up with Jack after a few years of globe trotting 'adventure' vacations doing fun packed crazy things. Then upon returning to the States Bullock thinks her life is to "extreme based on whatever circumstances" so she decides to take a peaceful cruise alone to contemplate on what she wants from life. THEN all the crazy Speed 2 action happens and she kicks serious Bullocks and saves the day! :) .. Ends with her calling Jack on a payphone :)
The worst movie ever made by a major studio. Unwatchable. Not even on an entertaining level.
I’ve seen more appealing film on a hobo’s teeth. And it cost more than Waterworld to make. C’est la vie.
Can't wait for _'Speed 3'_
In Space
1:02 - I am literally choking on laughter right now
Eunice Braxton? Nah Jo that's Tamia who was a big 90s R&B singer/songwriter, and she's also Grant Hill's (huge NBA player in the 90s) wife
RIP Brian McCardie, whose Scottish accent provided a much needed levity to this nearly unbearable pseudo-drama.
You almost made me rewatch that trainwreck. I tip my hat to your entartaining skills.
Anyway patrick-mobil made me spill my tea oll over my desk so hit that bell on spot.
gonna check your channel later, this evening is good already.
All of your jokes managed to be even more clichéd and lame than Speed 2. Congratulations.
Fellow MSTie here! So jealous you got to meet Mike and the bots.
I’m not sure if Jason Patric is a better actor than Keanu Reeves in other movies but I do definitely agree in the Speed universe at least Keanu was far better. Sure he’s a little wooden but honestly I feel he acted more like a real cop in Speed as opposed to being a Dirty Harry type. Just a nice guy trying to do his job and keep people safe and who wasn’t afraid to show emotions of fear and anger. Additionally though Speed doesn’t have a whole lot of character development his chemistry with Bullock does seem believable and they are likable together. Patric on the other hand is an aloof drip in Speed 2 bringing no likability to the character and has zero chemistry with Bullock. As for Bullock in the first movie she was a great action heroine she always did what she had to keep herself and people on the bus safe and only acted whiny and scared in intense moments where it was genuinely ok to do so. And she was also funny on occasion. Here she’s annoying as all can be constantly whiny, and just flat out dumb. This is not the Annie we fell in love with in Speed 1.
It’s only redeeming feature is that it has an end. Good actors risked their reputations for this utter bull’s ass water. It’s so bad, it’s criminal!
The cruise ship crashing into the docks is like a copycat of the cargo ship that crashed into the docks in The Lost World: Jurassic Park or that JP was the copycat of Speed 2
I remember going to the movies to watch this one because I was a fan of the original. 2 red flags were the absence of Keanu and going from R rated to PG13. I walked out of there like what the mother fk did I just watch??? 🤦🏻♂️🤦🏻♂️🤦🏻♂️
You could easily do another 90’s Summer episode on Jan De Bont’s next film, 1999s The Haunting!
...and it's still better than any bollocks by Kubrick: his most notable are The Shining, where he turns a magnificent and sad slow burn to terror into a one note manic chase and 2001, which isn't even famous for the AUTHOR'S vision, but of the production designers and Douglas Trumbull.
Meh.
Plus Sandra Bullock in a bikini and Willem DaFoe chewing the scenery.
I remember being annoyed at the time Keanu said NO! :( ... This could have been his franchise!
