Dare Daniel – “Speed 2: Cruise Control”

https://daredaniel.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/07/DareDanielE092S01.mp3 Speed 2: Cruise Control – Dare Daniel Podcast Episode 92 “Zero knots.” In this week’s episode, Seabourn Legend mainstage mainstays Daniel Barnes and Corky McDonnell excoriate Speed 2: Cruise Control “with an almost sensual pleasure.” Sandra Bullock and not-Keanu star in this lazy and pointless rehash/desecration of Speed that makes the perfectly perfunctory original look like The Wages of Fear.  Instead of action or suspense, Cruise Control delivers dumb comedy riddled with continuity errors and a complete lack of spatial-temporal logic. Elsewhere, Daniel and Corky discuss exploding golf clubs, UB40 serenades, lamp gambits and date boats.

Speed 2 (colon) Cruise Control. The whole gang is back together. Well, everyone that is still alive… and who isn’t named Keanu Reeves. So, I guess, really only Sandra Bullock is back aaaand Glenn Plummer. Anyway, this looks like some fun hijinks on the high seas. Enjoy!” IMDB synopsis: “A computer hacker breaks into the computer system of the Seabourn Legend cruise liner and sets it speeding on a collision course into a gigantic oil tanker.” This week’s referenced movies: Speed; Spookies; Rawhead Rex; Sleepaway Camp; Kill Bill; the Star Wars movies; the Die Hard franchise; Lolita (1962); The Poseidon Adventure; Assassins (1995); Pulp Fiction; the Police Academy movies; The Professional; Hercules in New York; Titanic (1997); Godzilla; Once Upon a Time… in Hollywood; Spider-Man Ratings: Daniel – Double Dare; Corky – Double Dare CLIPS AND CLIPPINGS Speed 2: Cruise Control trailer Oil tanker avoidance Cruise crash Follow Dare Daniel on Facebook, Twitter and Instagram.
