History Film / SpeciesII

* CloningBlues: Eve, a clone of Sil, is raised in a lab with no male contact at all and she's used as a guinea pig to avoid a repeat of the first movie's incident.

* CardboardPrison: Eve's prison is ridiculously escapable. The glass isn't strong enough to stop her, just like the last film. The doors can't stop her, just like the last film. The walls can't stop her, [[RuleOfThree just like the last film]]. The guards can't stop her, [[OverlyLongGag just like the last film]]. Objectively, they've learned nothing. This is especially bad because they've been extensively testing her and should know how to stop her. The only improvement, a poison capsule in her neck, can only be activated from a single console right outside her prison [[FailsafeFailure which she disables on the way out]].
** To be fair, the guards this time ''did'' riddle her with enough bullets to at least take her down, they just didn't keep shooting when she went down to be sure.

* FaceFullOfAlienWingWong: The mating of the two hybrids at the end appears to be equal parts French Kiss and forced mouth rape by his mouth tentacle.

* WindowLove: A rather literal example when human-alien hybrids Eve and Patrick meet face to face for the first time in the lab, putting their hands against the glass wall of her containment unit while visualizing themselves having intercourse in their alien forms.

* SequelHook / WhatHappenedToTheMouse: At the end of ''Species II'', one of the infected astronaut's sons is shown to have survived and Eve is pregnant with the infected astronaut's baby with the implication that the baby will be female and they will mate. Eve's baby plays a prominent role in ''Species III'', but the implied scenario doesn't happen because she deems the astronaut's offspring unfit for reproduction.

''Species II'' is the first sequel to ''Film/{{Species}}'', released in 1998 starring Creator/MichaelMadsen, Creator/NatashaHenstridge, Marg Helgenberger, Creator/JamesCromwell, Justin Lazard, Creator/GeorgeDzundza, and Creator/MykeltiWilliamson and directed by Creator/PeterMedak.

* CameBackWrong: Patrick Ross is distressed by the weird urges he's been having and the horrific things he's done, the final straw being the murder of his fiancée. So he decides to commits suicide by [[AteHisGun eating a blast from a shotgun]] and [[YourHeadAsplode blowing off most of his head]]. [[HealingFactor Which then grows back]]. Afterwards, he's noticeable less distressed about the things he's done and more actively seeking out women. The implication being he only succeeded in killing off his humanity.

* DeadlyHug: Patrick kills [[spoiler:his Senator father]] by hugging him, during which his body inadvertently sprouts alien tentacles that pierce the other person's flesh.

* DisabilityImmunity: Dennis's genes carry the potential for sickle-cell anemia to manifest in his children, which is the reason the alien organism did not infect him but just knocked him out. Later in the movie after he is wounded he covers a blade in his own blood, which seems to act like a poison on the alien hybrid.

* GangstaStyle: For some reason Preston holds his gun sideways when he arrests Patrick, despite being both a [[InformedAttribute supposed]] counter-terrorism expert with firearms training and fully aware that his target is a highly dangerous alien masquerading as a human.

* IKnowYoureInThereSomewhereFight: After Eve and Patrick transform into their alien forms to mate, Dr. Laura Baker appeals to Eve's human side. It seems to work, as Eve turns against him who transforms into the second alien form [[spoiler:but she is seemingly killed in the process by him.]]

* LadyLand: Eve is raised in a female-only environment, so that mating urges won't make her uncontrollable. It doesn't work. Nor should they have expected it to, considering they let her watch television and ''Series/TheDukesOfHazzard'' is one of her favorite shows.
* MoreDeadlyThanTheMale: Subverted -- it turns out that the Patrick hybrid is much more dangerous than Sil or Eve, with his capacity to quickly spread his brood by having sex with multiple women, and transforming into two types of alien forms whose second form is a bigger and stronger shape [[spoiler:that fatally [[CurbStompBattle curb-stomps Eve]] at the climax]].

* SequelHook / WhatHappenedToTheMouse: At the end of ''Species II'' one of the infected astronaut's sons is shown to have survived and Eve is pregnant with the infected astronaut's baby, with the implication that the baby will be female and they will mate. Eve's baby plays a prominent role in ''Species III'', but the implied scenario doesn't happen because she deems the astronaut's offspring unfit for reproduction.

* SuperMode: When mating was interrupted, [[spoiler:Patrick transformed to quadrupedal combat form.]] But his alien form for mating is male version of Sil's or Eve's
