!!This film provides examples of:
* AcquiredPoisonImmunity: Mr. Penn has been pepper-sprayed so many times that now, all it does is clear out his sinuses.
* BondOneLiner: Ryback hasn't lost the touch; after a hostage [[DistractedByTheSexy distracts a mook]] ("My bra broke!") for Ryback to off him, he quips: "Tits to die for."
* BrickJoke: Happens quite early. In the first scene, everyone jokes about how the KillSat is, as far as the world knows, a boring, ordinary weather satellite and will never figure out the truth. The first thing that Bates says on entering the room is that no one had better try fobbing him off with a claim that the room exists to control a mere weather satellite.
* ChekhovsSkill: Ryback's niece performs an Aikido move on Bobby Zachs. Later, Bobby does the same move on a female Mook, tossing her out of the helicopter.
* CuttingTheKnot: Dane informs Casey that he's too late to stop the KillSat at that, even if he weren't, he'll ''never'' be able to crack the encryption on his laptop to do it. Casey's solution? ''Shoot the laptop.''
%%* DangerouslyGenreSavvy: Dane.
* DarkActionGirl: Fatima, Penn's sole female mercenary. Acts include shooting Ryback off the train with a sniper rifle and performing the EyeScream interrogation.
* DieHardOnAnX: Whereas the first movie was Die Hard on a Battleship, this is Die Hard on a Train.
* DisneyVillainDeath: Several, since the train is forced to stop along some cliffs.
* DistractedByTheSexy: Happens to some poor mook.
--> I broke my bra.
* DoItYourselfThemeTune: The blues song at the end was sung by none other than Seagal himself.
* TheDragon: Marcus Penn is a texbook example, and like many dragons before and after him, it's clear he is the most formidable of the villains.
* EiffelTowerEffect: Travis Dane makes a threat video on the train with a picture of the Eiffel Tower as a backdrop. Tom Breaker feebly suggests searching Paris for Dane.
* EveryHelicopterIsAHuey: The terrorists hijack the train in a matched pair of Hueys, one of which apparently vanishes into thin air sometime before the climax. This appears to happen more because it'd be a [[RuleOfCool really cool way to hijack a train]] than because it makes ''any logistical sense at all''.
* EvilIsPetty: One of the investors gives Dane an extra $100 million to target the plane carrying his ex-wife.
* ExactWords: Penn gives Dane a look when he tells the passengers that they will be allowed off the train at the next stop. What he actually means is that they will all be murdered when the train is blown to pieces, but he insists that he's still technically right.
* EyeScream: Used with a combination of ToThePain as a rather effective interrogation technique.
* {{Fingore}}: [[spoiler:Happens to Travis Dane, leading to his DisneyVillainDeath]].
* {{Hypocrite}}: Dane gets worried that Ryback will accidentally kill all the hostages in the second film. Penn doesn't even need words to remind him that this is exactly what he's planning to do anyway, albeit not this early.
* JustEatGilligan: Ryback gets his hands on the encoded CD the villain needs to complete his plan fairly early in the film, and spends most of the rest of them movie trying to keep the villain from getting it back. He should have just broken the darn thing, and permanently derailed the villain's plot.
* KillSat: The movie features a DiabolicalMastermind who designed one such satellite for the military, [[NotQuiteDead faking his death]], and seizing control of it to threaten Washington, DC. It shoots ''earthquakes'' -- which, [[ArtisticLicensePhysics somehow]], can also destroy high-flying bomber jets.
* TheLoad: Morris Chestnut's porter character is semi-helpful, but spends most of the movie getting lectured by Ryback and getting into lethal situations that require rescue.
* MadScientist: The main villain Travis Dane designed the KillSat. Trope is [[LampshadeHanging Lampshaded]] when the ReasonableAuthorityFigure asks why the MadScientist was hired to design the uber-super-weapon; when told that sane people don't design them, the admiral notes that most people would learn something from that...
* {{MacGyvering}}: Ryback makes a bomb out of resources from the train's minibar.
* NeverFoundTheBody:
** {{Lampshaded}} by Penn and later Travis Dane, in regards to [[StevenSeagal Ryback]].
--> "[[IronicEcho Assumption is the mother of all fuck-ups]]."
** Dane himself was this after he apparently drove his car into a lake. It's easily missed, but in the opening sequence someone actually asks if Dane's body has been found as part of the exposition about who he is.
* NonActionBigBad: Travis Dane, the mastermind who hired the mercenaries and devised the plot to hijack the KillSat, isn't much of a physical threat. This is exacerbated by Ryback's InvincibleHero status, as TheDragon lasts only a few minutes in a fight against Ryback, Dane only seconds.
* PlausibleDeniability:
** Discussed at length. Dane's first demonstration target is a "Fertilizer Plant" in China which is actually Chemical Weapons factory; something that ''[[OpenSecret everyone]]'' knows but pretends to be oblivious about. As a result, the Chinese aren't going to want to advertise the disaster or investigate the mysterious "Earthquake".
** One of the government officials also invokes this, pointing out no-one knows that the "Earthquake" was actually caused by a American KillSat, that the Americans have built a KillSat, nor that it had been stolen by terrorists.
* RecycledInSpace: ''Under Siege 2'' is ''Under Siege'' '''ON A TRAIN!''' Small wonder that a common joke after the release of ''Film/SnakesOnAPlane'' would reference this by suggesting that the sequel would be ''Snakes On A Train''. There ''is'' a movie called ''Snakes On A Train'' (however it's a {{Mockbuster}}, not a sequel).
* SaveTheVillain: Averted when Ryback shuts a helicopter door on the helplessly dangling villain, ''[[WhatTheHellHero cutting his fingers off]]'' and letting him fall to a fiery death.
* TheScrappy: Invoked, for humour. That one annoying balding guy in the glasses working for the Pentagon. When he makes a lame quip about space being called space because there's so much of it, an admiral tells him never to speak again.
* TemptingFate: Dane insists to Ryback at the end of the second film that there is nothing whatsoever he can do to stop the KillSat. He admits he didn't think of it when Ryback [[spoiler:shoots the laptop controlling it, and Dane himself through it.]]
%%* ThrillerOnTheExpress
* VillainousBreakdown: Dane has a bit of a breakdown when the KillSat CD is stolen, but goes back to normal when he gets it back. Of course, he has another one once Ryback starts messing his plans up big time.
* YouHaveOutlivedYourUsefulness: "Oh they're still here! I don't need them anymore, they can go away now" - Travis Dane say this to the two captains, who are immediately thrown from the train and off a cliff, after they have given him the codes to the KillSat.
