Sonic the Hedgehog 2

Sonic the Hedgehog 2 is a 2022 action-adventure comedy film based on the video game series Sonic the Hedgehog published by Sega, and the sequel to Sonic the Hedgehog (2020). It was directed by Jeff Fowler from a screenplay by Pat Casey, Josh Miller, and John Whittington, based on a story by Casey and Miller. Ben Schwartz, James Marsden, Tika Sumpter, Natasha Rothwell, Adam Pally, Lee Majdoub, Colleen O'Shaughnessey and Jim Carrey reprised their roles, with Idris Elba and Shemar Moore joining the cast. In the film, Sonic and Tails must find the Master Emerald before the villainous Dr. Robotnik and his partner Knuckles the Echidna. Following the success of Sonic the Hedgehog (2020), Paramount Pictures announced the sequel in May 2020, with Fowler, Casey, Miller and the cast returning. Filming took place from March to June 2021 in Vancouver and Hawaii. The film draws inspiration from the video games Sonic the Hedgehog 2 (1992), Sonic the Hedgehog 3 (1994), and Sonic & Knuckles (1994). Sonic the Hedgehog 2 was theatrically released in several markets on March 30, 2022, and in the United States on April 8, by Paramount Pictures and Sega Sammy Group. Like its predecessor, it set several box office records and received generally positive reviews from critics, who praised the performances and action sequences but criticized the screenplay and runtime. It grossed $405 million worldwide, becoming the highest-grossing video game film in the United States until The Super Mario Bros. Movie the following year. Sonic the Hedgehog 3 is scheduled for release in December 2024, while Knuckles, a spin-off series starring Elba, premiered on Paramount+ in April 2024.

Knuckles, stop. Robotnik's stealing the Emerald! What kind of fool do you take me for? Just look. Mine. Wait! That wasn't the deal. [Boulder thuds] Oh, you poor, naive creature. It's not your fault. A more advanced intellect would have seen this move coming a mile away. Or 1.6 kilometers. But I trusted you! You were my friend! [cackling] I'm sorry. That just hit me funny. Let this be my final lesson to you, you dim-witted celestial skin tag. Friends... are open, honest and vulnerable with each other. Which means X squared times the hypotenuse of Y squared, divided by the absolute value of friendship, equals... dookie! Oh, no.

[coughing] You saved me. Don't talk to me. I'm not in the mood. [grunts] How dare you attack me in my hour of sorrow! [grunts] Why did you save me?

[grunts] Because you saved me first, which clearly gave you a tactical advantage I do not understand. It wasn't a tactic. I couldn't just let you die. Why? I've been trying to destroy you since the moment we met. Because being a hero isn't about taking care of yourself. It's about taking responsibility for other people. Hmm. Wise words. An ancient Earth proverb? No, sir, that's a Wachowski family special. I got it from a guy in a rowboat. Someone who means a lot to me. [biplane approaching] Wait a second. What's that sound? Only Sonic the Hedgehog needs rescuing this much. [laughs] That sly little fox! Come on, Knucklehead. We're not beat yet. On the mountain, you told me you'd lost everything. The way I did. But you seem so hopeful and free. How did you move forward despite failing again? And again. And again. And again. And again. Okay, I didn't fail that much. But I didn't do this all alone. I found a new family. New friends. And you can too. You don't have to be alone anymore.

[Wade] I'm done playing games, pal. You're gonna tell me what I want to know. And I am asking you for the last time... what would you like on your bagel? I'm not telling you anything. And that is a display bagel. I don't get it with you! I mean, I've tried everything. I was good cop. I was bad cop. I was cop who offers you a bagel. And nothing. It's like... That is a display bagel. Wow. [rumbling] [electronic warbling]

[in electronic voice] Yes, I'm here, and yet I'm... not all there. Sir, are you feeling okay? I'm more than okay. I'm upgraded. [singsongy] Sinister 3.0. My game is next level. [warped vocalizing]
