Goofs:

Factual errors: When Hope is driving the pickup in the car chase, she yanks the parking brake, causing a tank of propane to fly out the tailgate and into the car that is chasing her. This is completely impossible. The tank would have slid in the other direction (forward) and slammed into the back of the cab when she slowed down.

Follows The Net (1995)

Don't be fooled - this is BAD as in awful

The dot com bubble burst for this one. What a waste of time and money. If I churned out rubbish like this in my job, my career would be over.

The Net 2.0 was a waste of the electrons required to run my DVD player and remote control. After about half-an-hour, I ended up scanning through this movie(!) at 40x speed just to get it over with.

The story was in-line with the acting, effects, and cinematography, i.e. very poor indeed. Now don't get me wrong, you may be thinking that there was nothing at all about The Net 2.0 that has any merit, and you would be right, so, DON'T get me wrong, it is a truly awful movie.

In my opinion the DVD case is worth more than the DVD and it's contents. Breaking the DVD into itsy bitsy pieces would be an improvement.
