Stupidity: Dafoe does a lot of looking around while flying the plane. He could have pulled up much sooner. Then he screams and puts his hand to his face, and then he sees the tower and crashes into it. (01:53:29)
Speed 2: Cruise Control (1997)
1 stupidity
Directed by: Jan de Bont
Starring: Willem Dafoe, Sandra Bullock, Jason Patric, Temuera Morrison
Plot hole: Dafoe and Bullock leave the ship a long time before it hits the tanker and there is a lot more time before it crashes into the town and even more before Alex gets on that speedboat. No matter how fast he could have gone, there is no way he would have caught up with them.
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?
Trivia: At the end of the movie, the bus that Sandra Bullock nearly hits is numbered 2526. The bus in the first Speed movie was numbered 2525.
More questions & answers from Speed 2: Cruise Control
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 The way she drives during her test certainly fits with the description she gives in the first film of why her license was revoked. She only says "speeding" when asked why her license was revoked but excessive speeding and reckless driving go hand in hand.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.
