Faced with the rave reviews and huge box office that " Speed of Life " won, I originally had no intention of making a sequel, but it was not until the new idea and Jason Patric and Sandra Bullock agreed to join it that director Jan de Bont had the urge to shoot. During the period, after Jan de Bont rejected a lot of plot opinions, he thought of the background of the cruise ship and thought it was a rare setting. When Jan de Bont was shooting " Twister ", he also began to conceive the film story. Later, the 20th Century Fox Company took a fancy to De Bont's creativity and hired a screenwriter to complete the script

Speed 2: Cruise Control quotes
-
Alex Shaw: [armed with a gun near a computer in Geiger's room] It ends now. I know who you are.
John Geiger: [over a speaker] I know you too. You look a little wet. You see Alex, I designed this whole Auto Pilot system. My company sold it off to almost every shipping line in the world. But when I got sick, they fired me. I had no defence, they just... threw me away. But now, I have a more aggressive defence system.
[using his computer, Geiger arms an explosive behind the computer near Alex]
John Geiger: [crafty] Tell me Alex, did you ever have a full sense of security?
[the words "Good Bye Alex" appear on the computer screen and Alex quickly exits the room as Geiger laughs and detonates the explosive]

Annie Porter: His name's Geiger.
Alex Shaw: Oh.
Annie Porter: Yeah, yeah. We talked.
Alex Shaw: Doesn't seem very interested in Golf for someone who had a fit about his clubs though.
Annie Porter: Why do you say that?
Alex Shaw: Well, tournament's on right behind him - he hasn't even glanced at the TV.
Annie Porter: You're absolutely right. Honey, I think we need to go and arrest him.
[Annie starts to make her way towards the bar]
Annie Porter: [calling] Excuse me! Excuse...
Alex Shaw: [grabs Annie] Whoa, whoa, whoa whoa.
Annie Porter: Oh honey, you just wanted a hug. I'll give you hug. You're so sweet. Baby I've gotta ask you to do me a favour. Something I've never asked you to do before.
Alex Shaw: What's that?
Annie Porter: I need you to believe me.
Alex Shaw: Oh no, no I don't...
Annie Porter: Oh yes. Yes. Just one of 'em please. One on please. Do you feel it? Do you feel it?
Alex Shaw: [unsure] I think so.
Annie Porter: [rocking tone] Come on baby.
[Alex and Annie dance across the deck and the Seabourn Legend sounds its horn as the camera pans out]
