    The Creeper is back and this time he's set his sights (and stomach) on a bus filled with teenagers. In many ways Jeepers Creepers 2 is a bigger and badder sequel while in many more ways its one of the most strangely executed horror sequels you can find. Despite its flaws, is Jeepers Creepers 2 a worthy sequel to the classic original?

    The "scarecrow" scene at the beginning is great, Ray Wise was the best, and I actually loved seeing Derry again as sort of a warning/vision

    I feel like Jeepers Creepers 1 is sorta like Alien. More isolated- concentrating on a smaller group of people- more horrific and gory. Jeepers Creepers 2 is like Aliens- faster paced- more action- less scares- I enjoy both movies for what they bring 👏🏻👊🏻

    If not for Victor Salvas past, this could have been an amazing franchise that could have produced a few more very solid sequels. I feel like The Creeper is one of the greatest Horror icons off all time and doesn’t get the respect because of that situation.

    The first one was great as it really fleshed out the world with the song, the preview into the lair, and some bits of lore. The actors also did a fantastic job in establishing a believable scenario.
    The second felt more like your typical cheesy horror movie. Fun, but not what I wanted from this series. I did think the knife carvings were cool but would have liked them to be explored further, as well as have a bit more impact on the plot.

    Victor Salva wrote the "Every 23 years for 23 days it gets to eat" rule in Jeepers Creepers (2001) so there would be no sequel unless the movie was set in the future, and he knew the studio wouldn't want that. However Francis Ford Coppola found an easy loophole: set it during the same 23 days as the first movie. So this movie is set on the 23rd day for the purpose of not making another sequel.
    After the students abandon the bus and run away from the Creeper, some of the teens were to originally stumble upon an abandoned military bunker with a similar set up as the church from the first film. There, they'd stumble across the Creeper, who is in the middle of eating the dead body of an athlete. This scene was story-boarded and the set was even completely finished, but the scene was ultimately not shot.
    On the set, Victor Salva referred to the school bus as the "Creeper's Lunch Box."
    Originally Trish and Jezelle from the first Jeepers Creepers (2001) film would hunt down The Creeper for the sequel, while a school bus full of teens terrorized by The Creeper was just a subplot. But the more Victor Salva worked on the script, the more the bus plot became more interesting. So he decided to scrap Trish and Jezelle and concentrate the film on the bus instead.
    The Basketball team is from the fictional Bannon highschool, the same school advertised on Darry's shirt in the first Jeepers Creepers (2001).
    Like A Bat Out Of Hell" was an alternate title for the film at one point.
    Kasan Butcher, who plays Kimball "Big K" Ward, plays a 17-year-old high schooler in the film, despite the fact that he was 30 at the time of filming.
    Lena Cardwell and Nicki Aycox were allowed to keep their female bannon high jackets.
    Shaun Fleming had problems with Disney during the filming of the film because they did not agree with his participation in a horror movie while he worked for them lending his voice in some of his series.
    Lynda Boyd was considered for the role of Betty Borman, however she became very busy in the filming of Final Destination 2 (2003).
    Jack Taggart's character name is inspired by Jack Teagarden, a jazz singer who released a popular version of the song "Jeepers Creepers", which is important to the franchise.
    Nicki Aycox (Minxie) guest starred in a Supernatural (2005) episode entitled Scarecrow (2006). The episode featured a creature very similar to The Creeper who also pretended to be a scarecrow to attack victims.
    The names of the 3 cheerleaders (Minxie, Chelsea and Rhonda) were the names of some cheerleaders of the secondary school Victor Salva attended.
    The basketball team is called "Bannon Bantams" this in reference to Dan O'Bannon who was the writer of Alien (1979).
    Last entry in the Jeepers Creepers franchise to be released by MGM and United Artists.
    Some of the scenes including Chelsea Farmer could not be filmed because during some days of shooting Lena Cardwell was absent filming an episode of Power Rangers Wild Force (2002).
    The cheerleader played by Lena Cardwell is named Chelsea Farmer, however, her name is not mentioned during the movie. Originally the bus driver was to be played by a man, however it was changed at the last minute to have a female bus driver.
    at around 1h 22 mins) In the scene where Izzy, Double D, and Rhonda try to escape The Creeper in the wrecked exterminator truck - Izzy accidentally puts the truck into drive instead of reverse when taking off. According to Travis Schiffner (Izzy) it was completely unintentional, but the take worked well enough that it was left in the film.
    at around 11 mins) The bus radio states a report of a church fire four days ago. This would reference the first movie where the church was placed on fire in an attempt to burn evidence.
    (at around 20 mins) When Ray Wise was banging the hammer on an anvil, one of the sparks landed in his pocket and it caught fire. He performed the scene regardless.
    at around 37 mins) According to the director's commentary Victor Salva says he nearly cut the scene were The Creeper 'flirts' with the teens on the bus, feeling that it might be too comical for the film. However he was later glad that he didn't as it was a favorite scene with screening audiences.
    The Shuriken, or ninja star weapon, made out of bone that the Creeper used were made from cattle bones that were carved, varnished and welded. After the success of the film, they were donated to a museum where they have been exhibited since 2005.
    (at around 26 mins) The second shuriken, or ninja star-like weapon, that punctures the tire is made with the navel skin with the rose tattoo of Darry Jenner, a main character of the first film.
    You can see the Creeper now has brown eyes due to taking them from Darry Jenner in Jeepers Creepers (2001).
    The song 'Jeepers Creepers' which played into the original Jeepers Creepers (2001) film a lot is only referenced once in this film. Its tune can be subtly heard in Bennett Salvay's music score during the final image of the film.
    at around 46 mins) The station wagon that Taggart Sr. finds with the roof peeled back has a bumper sticker that reads "I'm not a complete idiot, some parts are missing." A reference to the fact that the Creeper eats parts of people to replace parts on his own body.
    body count (11)
    (at around 1h 30 mins) Taggart Sr. stabbed the Creeper's chest 34 times for the loss of his son before the Creeper wailed and yielded into submission. He ended his 35th strike using his handmade harpoon that was lodged in the Creeper's head.
    at around 6 mins) For the scene in which the Creeper drags Billy Taggart through the cornfield, two shots were used: one in which Breck dragged a doll and another in which he dragged a double.
    According to Director Victor Salva the inspiration for the character of Jack Taggart Sr. was Captain Ahab in Herman Melville's Moby Dick. At one point Taggart was even supposed to quote Ahab ("from hell's heart I stab thee") in his showdown with The Creeper, but this was not included in the film.
    at around 3 mins) In the first scene, before the Creeper appears, Jack Taggart Jr. is working underneath a truck. The device he uses to slide underneath it is commonly referred to as a "creeper".
    at around 16 mins) Lena Cardwell initially refused to smoke with the other cheerleaders; she was eventually convinced to do so by the producers, but in the final footage you can see her look of disgust after smoking.
    One of the reasons why The Creeper did not want to murder the cheerleaders is that Victor Salva did not want to overuse the monster cliché of capturing women. But he still wanted The Creeper to capture the host Betty because the absence of all adults would make teen survival more interesting.
    Marieh Delfino dyed her hair a reddish hue to play Rhonda while Nicki Aycox dyed her hair blonde to play Minxie.
    After eating parts of its victims, the Creeper sews them with thick thread and exhibits the cadavers as "art" in its lair. After it is defeated, Taggart sews the dismembered parts of the Creeper in the same way, displaying its body.
    at around 1h 35 mins) The soundtrack of "The House of Pain" that is heard when Darry and Trish arrive at the church in the first film, can be heard when Tourists talk with Jack Taggart Elder about "The Bat Out of Hell".
    Victor Salva portrayed his teenage characters as representations of various stereotypes: Racist (Scotty), Homosexual (Izzy), Latina (Rhonda), Homophobic (Jake), African-American (Double D and Chelsea) and bullied (Bucky).
    Victor Salva decided to portray topics such as racism and discrimination against homosexuals in the script.
    at around 33 mins) When Taggart listens to the radio in search of some report of kidnappings, he listens to the radio "I repeat ... Related to Poho and everyone knows what I mean" This is a song to refer to the events of the first Jeepers Creepers (2001).
    Originally it was planned that the song "Jeepers Creepers" would be heard in the movie, but in a rock version. This was scrapped however this rock version can be heard in the trailer for the film.
    The opening of the final scenes of this movie, a vehicle traveling on a road, making a bend to the left, mimic the opening scene of the first movie.

    I'm so glad you made the Freddy's Revenge comment in the beginning, I kind of got the same gay vibe about Darry in the first one too and this one just screamed gay subtext. No homophobia here, it's just like, either make some character's gay or don't! I don't need little hints and comments about it throughout a HORROR film, it's unnecesary. There was also a too much racially charged dialouge that we don't need in a horror movie.

    The first time I saw JC2 was also at a drive in with the double feature Freddy v Jason. While I did not enjoy JC2 anywhere near as much as the first film, I will admit it was very creepy watching this monster on screen while sitting outside in a lawn chair under the dark sky. I felt like I was going to be snatched up from any direction. I was 11 but honestly I’d probably still feel that way as an adult.

    I understand what you're saying and it all makes sense. I just didn't see a lot of that stuff when I was younger. I was a teenager when I saw it. So I wasn't in critic mode trying to dissect it. I thought it was pretty cool. It wasn't nearly as good as the first, but it still had a lot of cool stuff. The first was able to build up the fear and anticipation of just what the creeper was and what he was doing, but this one wasn't able to do that. They still managed to keep the creature scary though and he was definitely the highlight of the film. I actually liked the idea of the stranded bus. It makes sense to me from the standpoint of it being the creepers last day. He had to plan out and execute an attack. He spotted the bus and launched his assault. Knowing that he would have a smorgasbord of bodies to feast on. That's why I think he took his time. He wasn't desperate to feed when he just won the lottery with all those kids and even a few adults. So he spent his last hours having fun and getting the most out of his meal. I missed the homoerotic stuff back then. It's been years since I've seen it. Probably around 7-8 years the last time. Overall I thought it was pretty decent. Just not as scary since the mystery and buildup were gone. Still had some great scenes that helped add to the fear factor though. Like the scarecrow scene you mentioned. One of my favorite scenes was when the creeper had to hop through the corn field or whatever since I think his legs were missing. That was very disturbing and had me sitting on the edge of my seat. Anyway - cool movie overall in my opinion.

    In all honesty, I would've preferred everyone on the bus not knowing anything about the Creeper, and completely cutting out the whole premonition thing. Also cut out the scene where the Creeper chooses who he wants, I think it would've been more interesting. Take all the time focused on all of that, and give it to the Father and through him we can get the same information without having a physic involved. Just have Trish show up, letting us know she's been on a war path and tracking the Creeper since it took her brother. That's what I would've done, but that's just me.

    Don't get me wrong, it still has its problems. Cody has a point, everyone in that bus is pretty one note and forgettable but I like seeing the different effects the Creeper has on his victims. Becoming either depressed and guilt ridden until they decide to seek vengeance, like the farmer and his son or become frightened and/or paranoid to a point of turning against one another like the jocks on the bus. Good film, it's just a pity who directed it.
