Irwin Allen's second water-logged disaster film picks up where
The Poseidon Adventure left off; Salvagers
Michael Caine,
Karl Malden and
Sally Field enter the Poseidon to take what they can, unaware that evil salvager
Telly Savalas and his henchmen lie in wait. When an explosion rocks the ship, the enemies find themselves trapped inside in a battle for survival both against nature and themselves. The good guys pick up some survivors along the way, including
Peter Boyle as a stereotypically hot-headed Italian,
Mark Harmon as the All-American boy next door, and
Slim Pickens as the ship's wine steward in what may be one of the most poorly-written parts of all time.
Field looks good in the water, and
Caine is charming despite a lack of material, but the merits end there.

An Overflowing Watery Sequel.
Irwin Allen's attempt to duplicate the success of the Poseidon Adventure had too many leaks in it. A waterlogged plot involving Michael Caine, Sally Field, and Karl Malden as a small tugboat crew hoping to salvage what they could find before the ship sinks, and Telly Savalas as the leader of a team of arms smugglers hoping to recover a cargo of plutonium in the ship's hold. Like the Titantic, this one will strike an iceberg and sink. Also starring Peter Boyle, Shirley Jones, Jack Warden, Veronica Hamel, Slim Pickens, Mark Harmon, Angela Cartwright, and Shirley Knight.
