History Film / SpyKids2IslandOfLostDreams

* AnyLastWords: [[spoiler: Said by Donnagon before he attempts to kill the Cortezes (save for Felix) using the real Transmooker.]]

* ArtisticLicenseEngineering: As part of a gag, the protagonists receive a pair of wristwatches that can do anything except tell time. "Anything" in this context includes the ability to access the Internet. But the fact that the watch can access the Internet means that it's a computer--and as anyone who knows anything about computers can tell you, it's impossible to have a functional computer without a clock.[[note]] In fairness, Uncle Machete doesn't say that the watches can't ''keep'' time, just that they can't tell the user what time it is (i.e. their clocks can't be accessed by the user). There are computing systems, like UsefulNotes/RaspberryPi, that lack a real-time clock.[[/note]]

* SlippingAMickey: During the OSS banquet, the adults' champagne, including those of Gregorio and Ingrid, is spiked with sleepers, and the moment they drink it, they end up falling asleep, forcing the children to fight back.

* BallroomBlitz: A party is held for the elite of the O.S.S. but during a toast, all the adults where drugged and the party was attacked, forcing the children to fight back.

* BareYourMidriff: Carmen wears an outfit that does such up to and including the dinner scene. She also does this in the credits.

** In fairness, they didn't say the wristwatches couldn't tell time, just that they didn't have a clock, in other words, they couldn't access the time on them. There are computing systems, like UsefulNotes/RaspberryPi, that lack a real-time clock.

Carmen and Juni Cortez are now Level 2 agents in the Spy Kids Division of the OSS (Organization of Super Spies). At the Troublemaker Theme Park, they rescue President Anami's daughter, Alexandra, from a juggling thrill ride. The children of Donnagon Giggles (Mike Judge), Gary (Matt O'Leary) and Gerti (Emily Osment) get involved in the rescue and take all the credit.

At an OSS dinner event, the President names Donnagon as the director of the OSS (though it appears that the teleprompter was hacked). A group of Magna Men storm the event and steal the [[MacGuffin Transmooker device]] from the President, though the OSS spy kids try to stop them. Juni gets blamed for losing the device, and is suspended as an agent, though Carmen hacks into the OSS database to reinstate him and give them a new assignment, to investigate a mysterious island near Madagascar.

* AlliterativeName: Gary and Gertie Giggles.

* AbsenteeActor: Devlin doesn't appear since a new director for OSS is chosen to replace him, and is in fact, never even mentioned. In the third film he reappears as the president of the United States. While in the film it's explained that after retiring from his position in the OSS, he ran for president as he wanted to be in a position of power that was public instead of the secret one he previously held, the real life reasoning is that Rodriguez couldn't afford to have Creator/GeorgeClooney on screen for more than three minutes of screentime.

--> -- '''Steve Buscemi'''

* MyGrandmaCanDoBetterThanYou: When Donnagon and the kids' father Gregorio fight [[spoiler:one another for the Transmooker device]], during the fight, his wife Ingrid tells him to do the Suplex. He does, but it ends up rather hilarious. Then, the grandma of the kids groans that she could do better than that.

* KarmaHoudini: Agent Donnagon for attempting [[spoiler:to ''murder'' all the Cortezes]], in that [[spoiler:he only gets fired from being President of the OSS. Though he does have to answer to his wife for what he did.]]

* RecycledSoundtrack: In addition to the score specifically creatures for this film, some cues from the first movie are recycled.

** In fairness, they didn't say the wristwatches couldn't tell time, just that they didn't have a clock, in other words, they couldn't access the time on them. There are computing systems, like Raspberry Pi, that lack a real-time clock.

* LighterAndSofter: Even more so than the already light first film, as it tones down the first film's bizarre, nightmarish NauseaFuel imagery and elements and focuses more on the whimsical elements. Though, in a way, it is also a downplayed example as the original film was aleady this for Robert Rodriguez's '''entire film slate''' up until that point.

* ArtisticLicenseHistory[=/=][[ArtisticLicenseGeography Geography]]: the Island is supposedly located somewhere off the coast of Madagascar, but anything man-made on the island (excluding Romero's hut) is clearly inspired by Aztec temples and buildings.

* IslandBase: Romero is stationed on an island with his MixAndMatchCritters.

* RealityChangingMiniature: Inverted. The model of the Island of Lost Dreams shows where all the MixAndMatchCritters currently are, by causing their miniature critters to roam where the big ones are. Holograms show the presence of other humans on the island, hence how Romero can see [[spoiler:Gary and Gerti]].
