Trivia
For Michael Chiklis' performance as "Thing", a new set of prosthetics were developed. These prosthetics were easier for Chiklis to wear, as they provided better ventilation and could be easily removed, in comparison to the previous film's prosthetics which required six hours to apply, were uncomfortable and could not be easily removed.

Goofs
(at around 27 mins) When the Surfer approaches NYC, things begin to lose electrical power. At one point, a construction worker is shown confused when his jackhammer stop, and with good reason. The jackhammer is pneumatic, and would continue to run as long as there was air pressure in the tank. Even if its diesel-powered compressor (which doesn't run on electricity) stopped for some reason, the hammer would still run for several minutes.

Quotes
Johnny Storm: [about Alicia and Ben having sex] I'd hate to wake up one morning and find out she was killed in a rockslide!
Ben Grimm: I'll show you a rockslide!
[chases Johnny]

Crazy credits
SPOILER: There is a scene in the closing credits: the Silver Surfer is seen floating in space, and awakens.

Good but not great!

I think it's safe to say that when it comes to special effects we have no more expectations, they all nail it these days. This movie was no exception, good graphics and pretty colors as another guy here said. Unfortunately, the moment the special effects kicked in the world of the movies, the good old script got a good kick in the nuts and can barely stand now let alone hold a whole movie on it's feet. This movie again, it's no exception. I have to admit, the plot was OK, the lines good, there was humor, romance, action, a reasonable balance to everything. Yet, I could not feel it taking me in; I remained a spectator, while the short dialogs even though containing the essence of the story, were still dry and well, short. No wonder the movie was a mere 92 minutes. Conclusion, a good PG movie, a bit better than the first one, but which still failed big time to impress, just like the rest of this summer blockbusters.
