Trivia:

When they first arrive at the resort. They say that they won the tickets by answering the question "What is the capital of Brazil?" They answered Rio. From 1763 to 1960, Rio de Janeiro was the capital of Brazil. But in 1960, the city of Brasilia was made the Capital because it was in located in the center of the nation and away from the crime ridden cities.

Goofs:

Factual errors: When Willis pulls out his hook to kill someone, it makes the stereotypical sound of metal against metal. However, the hook would need to be sheathed to make such a sound; furthermore, a curved hook is unable to be sheathed to make such a sound.

Quotes:

Julie James: Bless me father, for I have sinned. It's been a year since my last confession. I've never told anyone about this. Not my mom, not the police, or not even my friends, except for the ones who were there, well, they're not around anymore. You see I, I killed a man, but it was an accident.

Soundtrack:

Hey Now Now

Surprise! It's the customary sequel

After her friends were murdered last summer, Julie James (Jennifer Love-Hewitt) has never been the same, still haunted by the guilt over her part in the killing of the fisherman her grades are dropping and her relationship is seriously strained. When she and her best friend win a trip to the Bahamas, she believes that finally things may be picking up; but the trip doesn't quite work out how they expected.

Its pretty much more of the same, but it's cheesier, weaker and more clichéd than the first. Don't get me wrong i still found some enjoyment in watching it, but classic material it is not! Anyone who loved the first film, will at least enjoy this one, but it is definitely inferior in every respect.
