History Film / SpeciesII

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

* 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 a bigger and stronger alien shape [[spoiler:that fatally [[CurbStompBattle curb-stomps Eve]] at the climax]].

* TooDumbToLive: Eve is kept in a CardboardPrison because the plot calls for her to escape and the writers apparently either couldn't think of any better way to do it or didn't want to bother. The villain uses a house that his family owns as a hide-out, reasoning that the fact that it's owned in his mother's maiden name will surely stump the FBI, CIA, and whatever other agencies might have an interest in capturing a superstrong near-immortal evil alien that's going around impregnating women with lethal chestbuster rip-offs. He drags a random woman out of a supermarket to rape her in his van right in the parking lot in broad daylight (Though that leads to his capture. Doesn't explain why he ignored several other women he walked past in the shop). When the heroes find him instead of sending a team of trained professionals armed with [[KillItWithFire weapons that worked fine in the first movie]] they send a scientist and an astronaut (granted, along with ''one'' trained professional) and take no weaponry that would be effective against the creatures besides something that requires you to all but shove it into the target's face.

* 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 eating a blast from a shotgun and blowing off most of his head. [[ICannotSelfTerminate 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.

* ICannotSelfTerminate: Patrick has been infected with an alien parasite on his prior mission to Mars that spreads through sex, so he unwittingly ends up killing his fiance after spending the night with her. He attempts to put an end to it by blowing his own head off with a shotgun, but it just grows back within minutes.

** To be fair, the guards this time ''did'' rddle her with enough bullets to at least take her down, they just didn't keep shooting when she went down to be sure.

* 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 as to avoid a repeat of the first movie's incident.

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

* 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 aware that his target is a highly dangerous alien masquerading as a human.

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

* ChestBurster: Why some people ONLY watch ''[[NauseaFuel Species 2]]'' ONCE. It made [[Film/{{Alien}} what happened to]] Creator/JohnHurt look pretty tame.

* AttemptedRape: When Patrick becomes controlled by the alien, he goes around impregnating various women with his alien sperm. Most of these encounters are either consensual or sex-for-pay, but he also drags one of his victims out of a convenience store in the middle of the day to rape her in his parked van. He only stops and lets her go when he realizes that there's a female hybrid out there as well after she links to his mind.

* OnceGreenMars: A disgraced scientist claims that Mars was once a thriving planet a billion years ago before the antagonistic aliens wrecked the entire ecosystem and are now trying to do the same thing to earth. He was locked up to keep him quiet.

* CelebrityCrush: Patrick meets a female fan in a supermarket after he has returned from his journey to Mars. Too bad that he's possessed by an alien symbiote that spreads through sex, so he exploits her star-struck interest for an attempted rape.

* RedRightHand: Colonel Carter has a nasty scar over one of his eyes, which is blind. While he is actually trying to stop aliens from taking over the Earth, it does show him to be a morally dubious character.

* ASharedSuffering: In ''Species II'', the male and female hybrids (one each) sense each other and try to hook up. Eve (a clone of Sil) even goes into psychic heat when she senses him, despite the fact that she was raised in [[LadyLand a female-only environment]].

* DeathByChildbirth: A rather literal and gruesome example, as the alien hybrid's offspring gestate in a matter of minutes before tearing their way free of the human mother's abdomen.
