[edit] Plot
Jackie Dorsey (Christy Carlson Romano), the daughter of 1992 Winter Olympics Gold medalists Doug Doursey and Kate Moseley from the original film The Cutting Edge, also enters the figure skating field, with ambitions of winning her own Olympic gold. However, that ambition seems to come to an end when she suffers a career threatening injury. Enter Alex Harrison (Ross Thomas) as her new pairs skate partner and a new chance at Olympic Gold. Inevitably, Jackie locks horns with Alex, forcing them to set their stubbornness aside long enough to actually shoot for gold.
[edit] Cameo
- Oksana Baiul appears in the movie, as a commentator.
[edit] Inconsistencies
- Neither Moira Kelly nor D.B. Sweeney appear in this film. Doug is played by Scott Thompson Baker, while Kate is played by Stepfanie Kramer, despite Kramer being 12 years older than Kelly.
- Jackie is portrayed by Christy Carlson Romano, a 22-year-old actress. Assuming the character was born a year or so after the events of the first film (which conclude at the 1992 Winter Olympic Games) she should by rights be only 13 or 14 years old. According to an interview with Kramer (included on the 2006 DVD reissue of the original Cutting Edge), the film takes place more than 20 years after the events of the original, however the Olympics featured in this sequel are those held in Torino, Italy, which place this film in 2006, only 14 years later.
[edit] Factual errors
The film contains a few factual errors with regards to professional skating. Among them is the film's claim that side by side triples have never been done before, when they have actually been a staple of professional skating since the 1990s.
