Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaProducer Jon Peters drew the ire of Steven Seagal after the action star returned from a vacation in Indonesia and discovered that Peters had hired Gary Busey to play the villain - Busey famously played one of the villains in the first film, who was dispatched via explosion. Matters got worse when it was discovered that Busey had a "pay-or-play" deal which meant he got his fee if he was in the film or not. Ultimately, Busey was paid his $750,000 dollar salary - which allegedly came out of Seagal's pocket as a producer - but didn't work a day on the picture.
- GoofsWhen the train is stopped so the mercenaries can retrieve the CD, after the train is shown slowly reversing backwards, we see Dane talking to Penn. Behind Dane there is a window showing the train is still moving, and fast.
- Quotes

[Penn smacks Merc 1 hard]
Penn: [slow and menacing] Did... you... see... the body?

The best B-movies are those which originally were meant to be taken seriously. This is one of those. Everything is ridiculous about it: the acting is mediocre and the dialogues the characters have to say are incredibly dumb, yet unintentionally very funny. Let's not forget the story. Ah, yes the story, I just cant stop laughing right now, having difficulty concentrating on writing this review, because the story is (unintentionally) THAT hilarious, that it becomes enjoyable again. Laughing my head off right now...
HOWEVER,.... I still do like this movie very much, because the original spirit of "Die Hard", which is the mother of ALL action movies, the spirit of that very same classic, is present as well in Siege 2: namely 1 guy who is gonna conquer all the bad guys. There is something unmistakably attractive and exhilarating about being THE good guy who is gonna come to the rescue. I love this sequal of Siege 2 more than I do the original. Honestly, there is something about the victorious mood of this picture that I really like. Or maybe I just like action on trains...
A powerful pounding glorious soundtrack is constantly pumping up the scenes, even if George Segal is only walking into a toilet. I love it, I would love to hear marching music every time I went to the toilet. It would make life a lot more fun.
Siege 2 really is a (hilariously) bad copy of Die Hard, only set on a train this time. But it is still lots of good fun, IF one doesnt make the mistake by taking this movie seriously. Expect a B-movie and enjoy the ride...
