Disney's Inspector Gadget 2 (sometimes called Inspector 2 Gadget and IG2), is an American-Australian 2003 superhero comedy live-action sequel film released direct-to-video on VHS and DVD on March 11, 2003. The film is based on the titular character of the 1983 cartoon series created by DIC Entertainment owned by Walt Disney Pictures and is a sequel to the 1999 film, Inspector Gadget.
Unlike the first film (which has a serious and darker tone and received a PG rating), Inspector Gadget 2 received a G rating and is considered a more faithful adaptation of the original animated series; the characters' personalities were altered to be more in line with their cartoon counterparts and Doctor Claw's face is never shown. Gadget and Claw are never referred to as "John Brown" and "Sanford Scolex", their respective civilian names from the first film (though Claw's communicator is still labeled as "Scolex Industries"; Claw also reveals to his minions that all his assets, including his "multi-million-dollar high-rise evil headquarters", were confiscated by the police following his arrest in the previous movie). The film received mixed reviews, although its reception slightly improved over its predecessor. With the exception of D. L. Hughley, who returned as the voice of the Gadgetmobile, none of the actors from the 1999 film reprised their roles.
The film was shot entirely in and around Brisbane, Queensland, Australia. Filming locations included Queensland University of Technology Gardens Point Campus, Queensland Parliament House, University of Queensland St. Lucia Campus, South Bank Parklands Beach, South Brisbane War Memorial Park, Toowong Village, Anglican Church Grammar School, and the William Jolly Bridge.
The soundtrack of the sequel contains the single "Up, Up, Up" by Rose Falcon in the music video.
