Why It's Better Than Speed 2: Cruise Control[]
- Our main character and actor returns and three cast members from the first Under Siege return (mentioned above).
- The sequel wasn't chopped down to a PG-13 rating like Speed 2 was.
- It's like Die Hard on a train.
- A majority of events from the first film are referenced and keeps in way better continuity.
- Ryback pays tribute to his brother.
- An amazing soundtrack from Basil Poledouris.
Downsides[]

- Under Siege 2 received mixed reviews.
Trivia[]
