User Comment: Agent10 Tucson, AZ I was apprehensive when I didn't see Devon Sawa in the credits or this movie, but then again, this film didn't really need him. This wasn't a sequel in the purest sense, but the film makers created methods to link all of the new characters to the old ones, creating a flow which wasn't too jarring. Unfortunately, the dialogue was the only real stinker in this film. The pretentiousness, the obviousness and the downright hokiness that came out of the mouths of the characters really detracted from the tension, turning their performances into a bunch of acting class rejects. But I digress. The only thing people are looking for is how Death will get the new set of escape artists. The sheer surprise and execution of the executions made me jump and crawl. In such a desensitized world we live in, being able to jump out of my seat means this film is a winner. Summary: Creepier, gorier and better put together than the first. Trivia: John Denver's "Rocky Mountain High", the song that accompanied most of the deaths in the original film, plays in the elevator that Eugene and Nora enter, and in the Dentist office The sanatorium that Clear places herself in is the same sanatorium used in the opening of Halloween: Resurrection (2002). A stunt coordinator on this movie is named Freddie Hice. In the movie a truck passed Kimberly's SUV with a man drinking a beer. The name on the truck is HICE Pale Ale. The police officer radios in an accident at mile marker 180 (the accident where the news van eventually blows up). Also when Kim is standing next to her SUV at the exit ramp just before the officer pulls her out of the way of a truck, she sees a road work sign "next 180 feet". These are references to flight 180 in the first movie. ------------ IMDb Rating (07/26/03): 6.3/10 from 2,751 users Additional information Copyright:  2003,  New Line Home Entertainment Features:  Beyond the Movie Features: • The Terror Gauge • Cheating Death: Beyond and Back • Fact Track All-Access Pass Features: • Filmmaker Commentary - Director David Ellis, Producer Craig Perry, and Screenwriters Eric Bress and J Mackye Gruber • Bits & Pieces: Bringing Death to Life • Deleted/Alternate Scenes with Commentary • Trailers DVD-ROM Content: • Links to Original Website • Exclusive on-Disc ROM content includes: Script-to-Screen, Wallpapers, "Chain Reaction" and more! • Exclusive Content at Infinifilmcom Subtitles:  English Video:  Widescreen 1.85:1 Color Standard 1.33:1 [4:3] Color Audio:  ENGLISH: DD-EX 5.1 [CC] ENGLISH: DTS ES 6.1 [CC] Time:  1:31 DVD:  # Discs: 1 -- # Shows: 1 UPC:  794043627828 D-Box:  Yes Other:  Producers: Craig Perry, Warren Zide, ; Writers: Eric Bress, J Mackye Gruber; running time of 91 minutes; Packaging: Keep Case; Chapters: 15; [CC]. {[V-A] MPEG-4 AVC}
