The original "Liane" was a pretty good movie. This sequel, made one year later to cash in on the success of the first part, doesn't come near it. The story is all over the place, and you're constantly asking yourself "Why the heck...?", because numerous parts of the movie simply don't make any sense. Add that to the fact that the heroine's "assets" have sea shells glued on them in this one, which looks much too contrived (I don't remember this being the case in the original), and you really haven't got much reason to watch this. Although Liane does perform a nice tribal dance kinda thing early on...
To sum it up: Watch the first movie, but don't bother with this one, unless you REALLY want to see more of Marion Michael as "Liane".

This was one of the two worst movies I have ever seen in my life (the other being "Anaconda")! It's one of those movies which really are so bad, that they get funny.
The story actually sounds really interesting. But the acting is terrible, there is absolutely no logic to the events, and even less realism. The author of the book was apparently quite upset about what they had done to his story. No wonder! Take a terrible screenplay (completely changed from the book), add some awful actors, and you've got a candidate for turkey of the year.
I haven't read the book on which it was based, but it was a bestseller and won several awards, so I'm sure it must be better than this made-for-TV garbage. If there's nothing else on TV one of these nights - go to bed. Play Scrabble. Read a book. Clean your apartment from top to bottom. Just don't suffer through this self-proclaimed "movie event of the year!"
