The Ring Two

Trivia: When Rachel is talking to Dr. Temple, the name 'Dr. Kôji' is cited as someone who treated Rachel for PPD. This is an in-joke, because the author of the original book, Ring, as well as its sequels Spiral and Loop, is called Kôji Suzuki. (00:52:15)

Trivia: Daveigh Chase declined to appear in the sequel because of the small amount of screentime. She appears in the movie via archive footage from the first movie, and her stunt double from the first movie, Kelly Stables, plays evil Samara in this movie.

Trivia: At the end when the camera slowly zooms out of the house, look at the moon. It is the same shape as the opening of the well when Rachel is in it. (01:38:30)

Trivia: Copies of the "Cursed Tape" were dropped in public places as a form of promotion. After about five minutes of footage, the viewer is directed to the movie's website.

Trivia: Director Hideo Nakata has disowned the film, and claimed that due to excessive studio meddling and being forced to dumb the film down by producers, the final product has no resemblance to the film he had in mind when production began. Reportedly, star Naomi Watts also wasn't too keen on the film.

Trivia: The producers attempted to get Richard Kelly to direct the film. Kelly had recently made the low-budget cult-classic "Donnie Darko," and was very popular. However, Kelly wasn't interested in making a sequel to someone else's film.

Trivia: The film is directed by Hideo Nakata, who also directed the original Japanese film "Ringu," upon which "The Ring" was based. Nakata also directed the Japanese sequels "Ringu 2," and the 2019 release "Sadako."

Trivia: There were reportedly a number of strange occurrences during production. This includes a production office flooding not once, but twice. (Which is more unnerving given the films use of water and drowning-based imagery.) A deer wandered onto the studio lot and charged a crew-member at one point. (Mirroring a scene in the film in which deer attack a car.) And finally, production was briefly delayed when a swarm of bees attacked a prop truck for several minutes. Probably just coincidences... but it kinda makes you think.

Questions

Question: In the beginning of the movie a character named Jake is shown. He tries to show the tape to someone else, but she covers her face. Since he did not show it someone else within the time limit he dies. My question is, where does he see the ring before he dies?

Minda_Quenn

Answer: I was wondering the same thing. My guess is that it was when the water encircles his feet.

Answer: I like to think of it as a pun answer. He gets called by a friend right before, and the phone "ring"s. He is also wearing a ring. And gets Emily a drink with the top of the glass forming a ring. There are a lot of rings to have it be limited to just a specific one.

Chosen answer: He watches the tape with friends who already made copies and showed it to other people. He dies because the girl he showed it to covered her eyes.
