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.

[Sonic] Ultimate power? I don't know what you're talking about. You've got the wrong guy. Ultimate power? Now you're speaking my language. Don't play dumb with me, apprentice of Longclaw. You knew Longclaw? Longclaw and her people were the sworn enemy of my tribe, the Echidna. We fought and died at their hands, and now you will die at mine. [siren wailing]

Wow. Okay. Let me just say it is an honor to finally meet you, Sonic. Is it okay if I call you Sonic? Everyone calls me Tails. You're probably wondering why. Let me guess. Because of the extra tail? That's right! I should've known you'd get that. Cool. Also, what is going on? Robotnik's back? And who is Clifford the Big Red Rage Monster? [Tails] That's Knuckles, the last of the Echidnas and the most dangerous warrior in the galaxy. He's obsessed with finding the Master Emerald. [Sonic] Are you serious? The Master Emerald? That's just a bedtime story. Well, he believes it's real. And he must think you're the key to finding it.
