Speed 2: Cruise Control

Geiger takes Annie as his hostage and flees the ship on a motorboat, setting the ship to crash into an oil tanker. Alex chases after them but fails to get to Geiger in time. Giuliano saves him from falling into the water and they tamper with the ship's anchor to slow it down and steer it away from the oil tanker. The two ships nearly collide. The cruise ship crashes into St. Maartan and destroys several city blocks before coming to a stop. Alex commandeers another motorboat and pursues Geiger and Annie. Geiger and Annie board a seaplane but Annie manages to escape. Geiger crashes into a large pole on top off another oil tanker. Right after the tanker is evacuated Geiger's plane explodes, as does the tanker. Annie and Alex continue their vacation.

Factual error: You cannot walk into a ballast tank from the accommodation areas. The tanks are not painted white on the inside, and electric lights are not installed in ballasttanks. And finally, when filling ballasttanks, it is done through a pipe and a pump, not by opening gigantic doors in the ship's hull.

Merced: We can not stop the ship.
Alex Shaw: Then we have to slow it down.
Merced: What are you gonna do, are you gonna let the air outta our tires?

More quotes from Speed 2: Cruise Control

Question: I've never understood why Annie was such a terrible driver in this film (driving test scene). She says in Speed that she had her licence revoked for speeding, which doesn't make her a bad driver, just fast. She managed to drive the bus fairly well.

Answer: Annie is a reckless driver. The way she drives during her test certainly fits with the description she gives in the first film of why her license was revoked. She only says "speeding" when asked why her license was revoked but excessive speeding and reckless driving go hand in hand. It is doubtful that anyone who has had their license revoked for speeding tickets would be an otherwise safe and responsible driver.

Not everyone that speeds is reckless. The driving scene in Speed 2 is excessively bad.
