Curiosidades
At around forty-nine minutes, Press' line "bangin' cocktail waitresses two at a time" was borrowed from El padrino (1972) from the scene in which Moe Green explains to Michael Corleone his public mistreatment of brother Fredo.

Pifias
The crew holds real-time video and radio conversations with Earth while in orbit around Mars. This would be impossible without technological advances. Despite travelling at the speed of light, radio waves would need anywhere from several minutes to almost an hour depending on where they are in their orbits with respect to each other to travel from Mars to Earth and vice versa.

Citas
[At a brothel, the scene of a grisly death]
Press Lenox: So, you didn't see nothing, you didn't hear nothing, you don't know nothing, right?
Seedy Motel Clerk: They come and they go. You know what I mean, they come - and they go.
[Starts laughing]
Dennis Gamble: Well, that's hysterical. Why don't you sit your ass down.
Seedy Motel Clerk: They come and they go. You get it?
Press Lenox: Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. I get it. Here you go!
[Press pushes the wheelchair-bound clerk rolling down a nearby hill]

Versiones alternativas
DVD release includes some deleted scenes. Three of them are just longer, alternate takes of scenes in the film: Patrick's sex encounter with the debutante and her sister; a longer dance scene in the strip club; a longer version of Patrick's attempt to slid his 'tongue' into Dr. Laura Baker's mouth. The fourth scene shows Patrick going into the apartment of a girl he picked up at a club: when he discovers that the girl is actually a transsexual, he kills her.

He Came Back From Space A Vaginaterian.

After the original 'Species' gained word of mouth - Henstridge's nudity - and ranked in the cash, it was a given that MGM would do a sequel. Three years later here was '2' except this time no attempt to treat the material semi seriously. Reading reviews you'll see two camps. Those who still enjoy it's trashy elements and those who rightfully see it as a big step down.

Astronauts touch down on Mars and take soil samples that contain the alien DNA. Back on Earth, hunky head Patrick Ross (Justin Lazard) goes about making hybrids. Sil has been recreated in a more docile clone called Eve (Natasha Henstridge) and has a physic bond to the male alien and becomes excited when it senses him having sex. Things once again get out of control and in comes the returning Baker (Marg Helgenberger), Lennox (Michael Madsen) and sole uninfected astronaut Gamble (Mykelti Williamson) to stop an outbreak.

Established actors James Cromwell, George Dzundza & Peter Boyle turn up in one note, cliche roles. Henstridge doesn't really become a big part of the movie until the last third. Helgenberger but especially Madsen are slumming it for a paycheck. The man himself said doing this was a mistake. Williamson's character was written to be a replacement for a non returning Forest Whitaker. It ramps up the nudity and violence and goes bigger with the HR Giger effects, but that doesn't make it better.

'Species 2' failed with audiences. Maybe it was released at the wrong time or people saw thru it and weren't stupid. From a technical point of view is certainly well made and the gratuitous elements stop it from ever being boring, but the story & characters are asleep at the wheel. They tried to not be a tired retread, but that's exactly what it is.
