* CassandraTruth: Catherine, in one scene invokes this trope after Glass tells her to tell him the truth about his ex-wife, with Catherine telling him several things.

* CriticalPsychoanalysisFailure: Psychiatrist Dr. Michael Glass is appointed to evaluate Catherine Tramell after she's involved in a car accident that kills her lover due to reckless driving. During their sessions she does a reverse psycho-analysis of Glass to mess with his mind, since she's not only a sociopath but studied psychology in college. It doesn't take long for her to dissect all his own personal failings and seduce him into a relationship with her.

''Basic Instinct 2'' is a 2006 [[EroticFilm erotic thriller film]] and the sequel to 1992's ''Film/BasicInstinct''. The film was directed by Michael Caton-Jones and stars Creator/SharonStone, who reprises her role of Catherine Tramell from the original, and Creator/DavidMorrissey, Creator/DavidThewlis, and Creator/IndiraVarma, Hugh Dancy, and Charlotte Rampling.

The film follows novelist and suspected serial killer Catherine Tramell (Stone), who is once again in trouble with the authorities. Scotland Yard appoints psychiatrist Dr. Michael Glass (Morrissey) to evaluate her after a man in Tramell's presence dies. As with Detective Nick Curran in the first film, Glass becomes a victim of Tramell's seductive games.

!!This film features examples of:
* ChainedToABed: Catherine is still fond of tying her lovers up to the bedposts, but this time she has "upgraded" from the silk scarf from the first film to a straight-up choker.
* DrivesLikeCrazy: While this was present in the first film, this time it actually shows Catherine and a guy engaging in foreplay while driving. They end up crashing and the guy dies.
* EdgyBackwardsChairSitting: Catherine does this while talking with her psychiatrist, in what seems to be this film's homage to the infamous GoingCommando interrogation scene from the first film.
* RetargetedLust: Much like it happened with Nick in the first film, having been thoroughly taunted and titillated by Catherine, Dr. Glass later has rough sex with his girlfriend before being interrupted this time.
* SequelGoesForeign: While the first film takes place in the U.S., this one takes place in London, England.
* WallBangHer: At one point in the film, Glass meets an attractive waitress. While in the original release of the film nothing comes from it, in the unrated edition it's shown that they had sex against the wall behind the counter.
