Storyline

A sequel to the popular romantic mermaid drama which starred Darryl Hannah and Tom Hanks. Allen becomes bored on the deserted island on which he and Madison are currently living, and using a special power, Madison shows him exactly what's going on in his brother, Freddie's life. Through this, the couple realise that Allen's business is in trouble and return to New York - maybe contradicting the original, but Madison will only go "as long as I can soak my legs in Salty Water at the full moon". While there, they move into a new home (which has a pool in the back yard !), and Madison meets a new friend - Fern Hooten who might and might not know her secret. We are never told. While there, Madison sets herself a goal to save her Dolphin friend (Salty) who is in captivity, and while saving the business and the dolphin, she and Allen grow closer and re-kindle their love.

Trivia

Amy Yasbeck was originally offered to wear the mermaid tail costume worn and used by Daryl Hannah from the first Splash (1984), but as she could not fit into it, and after undergoing a body cast, a new form-fitted mermaid tail was made for her. It took three people to zip up the tail on Yasbeck, and then lift her into the water.

User Reviews

couldn't disagree more

I completely disagree. I think it is officially the worst movie ever made. I had to turn it off when I saw that the couple could now communicate through the water in the kitchen sink. Are you kidding me? That's taken a brilliant first film and turned it into a big joke. I think the makers should be ashamed of themselves.
