Trivia Unlike the first movie, a robotic killer whale is playing Willy instead of Keiko. See more »
Goofs When Jesse, Nadine and Elvis sets out in the boat towards the end of the movie, following Willy and the other Orcas, it's daylight. When the helicopter arrives to rescue them from the burning oil, it's suddenly dark out. It wouldn't take the rescue helicopter several hours to either locate or rescue them, so it couldn't have been evening/late at night. See more »

Quotes Glen: Where's Elvis?

Glen: What?
Annie: I broke a promise.
Glen: What promise?
Annie: [runs back to camp] I even did a spit-shake on it.
Glen: You did a spit-shake with somebody?
Annie: [to the people standing in the crowd] Excuse me.
Glen: Man, that's serious.
