Trivia
Used a similar staging method as the first film. The Cube was a single set consisting of identical panels for the walls and the floor (in some shots it was a green screen). For the previous movie, the crew clamped large lighting gels to the outer frame of the set so they could change the color scheme, but the all-white high-tech color scheme of this film simplified the lighting, and all they had to do to change the set in regards to what room they wanted to depict was to write on the walls with a grease pen and position certain props necessary to the plot. Some shots required the use of a green screen, especially when any door was opening. Some scenes used a full box to depict the room, but it was always the same set, just modified with extra panels.

Goofs
Jerry's watch has a different serial number than the watch they find in one of the rooms. This might not be a true continuity error, because in a parallel universe his wife might have got him another watch from the same brand and series.

Quotes
Jerry Whitehall: How do you do, Mrs. Paley?
Mrs. Paley: Hello.
Jerry Whitehall: You don't happen to know why you're here, do you?
Mrs. Paley: Oh, dear, I was never very good at philosophy.
[Some of the others chuckle at this]

This Cube Needs Some Ritalin

This hyper-lame sequel to the genuinely original CUBE fails to engage its viewers on every level. The dialogue is annoying, the (over)acting horrific, the F/X are not nearly as charming as in the original, the characters are undeveloped, and the ending is a complete cop out.

Poor writing is the main thing I blame for HYPERCUBE's weaknesses, but I suspect that another issue enhancing the crappiness is the fact that none of the original creative crew played a part in this poor-man's sequel.

If you enjoyed the first CUBE enough to buy it, rent HYPERCUBE. If you're merely a casual CUBE fan, skip HYPERCUBE entirely. Take my word: you won't miss anything.
