      Had the same experience during the middle of the pandemic, as I was trying to watch a different movie every night. In that lockdown period of two years, I watched nearly 700 films, and this is one of the ones that stood out. I had to scoop my jaw off the floor.

    The way Chris describes the feel for 90s movies being between the 80s and the 2000s movies is absolutely perfect. I could not have said it better myself. The Rock is another one of my favorites from the 90s...love it.

    I saw this at a preview screening one week before the actual release. Exhilarating! So exciting and funny. I re-watched it about six years ago for a project, having not seen it for a decade (probably longer), and was so joyful at the celebratory chord that the film's score strikes when Keanu and Sandra emerge from underneath the bus on the sliding platform and skid to safety. In fact, the whole reason why I went to see "Chain Reaction" two years after "Speed" came out is because one of the TV commercials used a piece of the "Speed" score. I KNEW that that music wouldn't be in "Chain Reaction", but the simple fact of that music's inclusion in the commercial got me excited to see a much less exciting movie.

Riding the bus on the grounds of LAX had an impact on me I didn’t realize until I was on the plane and found myself in the mood to watch Speed.

    What I love about Speed is that every single angle of the bus is utilized and made interesting both visually and for the story. The security camera, the emergency exit, the door, all of the seats, the front of the bus, the back of the bus. And the same goes for the train and the elevator too. They utilize each location to its fullest potential

    I love the immediate focus/gushing on the writing. Speed is one of my favorite examples of good clean movie writing and structure. Screenplay 101 stuff to geek out over. Three acts, three vehicles. Jack's arc is clearly spelled out at the end of act 1. Just about every single minute adds something to the plot. Average a minute per page of screenplay, end each one with some new problem thrown at the hero, and you've got a movie that is also literally a page-turner. Not one minute/page wasted adding new threat or problem or question, just unrelenting intrigue to glue people to the screen. And it's not as simple as just that because each matter needs to be satisfyingly resolved by the end. Love me a textbook 3-act fast-paced action movie. Great choice, man!

    I was lucky enough to see this in the theater when it was first released. I knew almost nothing about it ahead of time and was a little bit hesitant because I hadn't seen many action movies up to that point.
    My friend wanted to check it out, so I decided to join him. Ended up being one of my favorite movie-going experiences ever.
    You touched upon most of the elements that made this movie great. I think one of reasons it works so damn well, is that it manages to make the viewer feel like they're actually riding the bus right alongside Keanu, Sandra and the rest of the passengers.
    When they're finally successful in getting all of those people safely off the bus, and then the two of them glide away together into the embrace of those orange cones, the entire audience in my theater erupted into applause! It was just incredible.

It so deserves all the accolades.

    Please keep doing these feature presentation reviews! This may be my favorite video of yours that I’ve seen and I’ve seen a lot of of them. Excellent breakdown.

    I’m so glad you did this video. I LOVE this movie. I hope you get to see it in a theater. I saw it at least 4 times, maybe more, while it was still in theaters. I even took my mother to see it, and she liked it!

  • @MiserableMarinerEnjoyer

    The score that plays when Keanu and Sandra slide out from under the bus is indescribably good. I always get chills during that part! Man, I love this movie! It is perfection.

    It's such an exciting movie that ratchets up again and again and again from beginning to end. The two leads CLEARLY have chemistry and I love it.
    I remember watching Speed for the first time when it came to TV three years later. Naturally I taped and rewatched it so many times as a kid that when I watch Speed today I'm still half expecting the ads to jump in at certain points in the film.

    Speed is a golden standard for action movies, one of the best there is! Remember watching it with my dad when i was younger and was absolutely enthralled with it! My dad also showed me Armageddon when i was like 6 or 7 years old and convinced me that the astroid was real and heading for earth and stuff so i was pretty stressed out during that movie aswell lol

    I started this video, and was convinced to watch Speed for the first time after the first minute. Absolutely loved the movie, Keanu Reeves and Sandra Bullock chemistry was so sweet, and man you're right about Jack he does have brains. That idea to use the window washing lift to hold the elevator was brilliant.

    I saw this in the theater and I felt like I needed to have a roller coaster harness during the movie. I was literally on the edge of my seat for 2 hours, it was great!! I need to rewatch this classic.

    I watched it on tv several times when I was a kid. Now, in the 4K streaming era I've watched it a couple of more times and it's only better than ever. A true classic with two classic actors. This movie never gets old

    I was 10, my aunt rented this movie and I remember my parents asking her to borrow the VHS, we lived 5 blocks away and I remember very well going to my aunt's home and being super excited going back with the VHS tape in my hands. Everyone was talking about this movie, it was always rented, unavailable, and when we finally saw it we were blown away.

  • @ReShaunGroomes

    It is definitely one of my ALL-TIME favorite action flicks..........def a classic

  • @azraelspeaks

    When I first saw the movie, it was theaters as a kid. I was 13. Big fan of Dennis Hopper at the time (dude was doing Nike commercials with Dennis Rodman and my mom was super into Pale Rider and Hang Em High) and he did not disappoint. That crazy, unhinged yet purposefully holding on by that one thread. Not that he was scared to go, but that he enjoyed the thrill that he was that close. Absolute greatness.

  • @dibbdee
    @dibbdee Před 28 dny +1

    One of my favorite movies ever too, a line that cracks me up every time is,
    “Sir, I’m gonna take your phone “…”TAKE THE PHONE!” 😂😂😂 they don’t make them this good anymore. Classic!

  • @TheMonkeyBizzness
    @TheMonkeyBizzness Před 24 dny

    I saw Speed for the first time at a drive in theatre. Watching that movie while sitting in a car was so awesome. But just when the everything goes wrong while Keanu was under the bus, the projector went black for about 15-20 seconds. It was a moment I will never forget!

  • @BigBaldandBeardiful
    @BigBaldandBeardiful Před 26 dny

    Oh thank God you finally reviewed this!! This is by far my favorite Keanu Reeves movie I've ever seen! Non-stop, action packed, holding your breath and never coming up for air, popcorn flick extravaganza!!! I love this movie and so happy you finally got around to talking about it!!

  • @zachkramer1770

    I remember watching speed as a little kid. It was the first rated R movie I watched with my aunt and uncle

  • @alemander_01
    @alemander_01 Před 28 dny +1

    Yes, I saw this in a theater at Penn State when I first started college during a summer session. With almost no one there, I had no one to interact with and then this movie came out and I saw it a half dozen times. My favorite movie.

  • @lawlawgan5744
    @lawlawgan5744 Před 28 dny

    Chris, I love Speed! Saw it in a theatre in Singapore and my jaws dropped. Keanu Sandra Daniel Dennis were phenomenal. Every action sequence was heart pounding. Your speed video just made my day. Thanks for the awesome recap.

  • @MoonSpiritChannel
    @MoonSpiritChannel Před 28 dny +1

    Man, this was my first R-rated movie I saw in the theater with my dad I believe. I was only 7 years old (yeah, definitely not old enough for this), and I remember everything: the elevator scene, shooting the hostage, the works. This is one of the best action thrillers of that year, and was my first exposure to Keanu Reeves and both sides of Jeff Daniels (and I loved both goofy and serious)

  • @liamcinq
    @liamcinq Před 24 dny +1

    Producer and writer commentary on this movie is one of the best ever made. On any film. Period.
    Don't thank me, just. send. beer.

  • @VenancioPortalatin
    @VenancioPortalatin Před 28 dny +2

    Agree 100% with you. Such an underrated movie. I love the look Jeff Daniels gives when he knows he's about to die.

    I got Speed on VHS for Christmas when I was around 9 years old. I watched it constantly lol. Fantastic action movie.

    i have two big memories after watching this movie with my parents. We left the theater at sunset. I remember seeing the sunset as we were driving on the highway and remembering the bus driving with the sun in the back as they were holding forbthe recording. Also, the ADR when Hopper tells Jack to get back real fast, but you can see he says something else. I've always wondered what he actually said.

    It's funny how Chris mentioned about the cans. Every time I'm in my car and come to a tight corner, I'm like, "Everyone to this side of the bus!"

    My family was in a Chalet for my birthday and my cousin was in love with this movie and she got the VHS tape as one of her Christmas gifts. We then immediately popped it in and gathered around to watch it.

  • @rehoch

    I saw this in Cinemas on a very big screen back in the 90ies. And I truly loved it. Rewatched it recently with my two teen daughters and they adored it too.

    I watched Speed twice in the last 6 months. One of my favorite movies of all time. But listening to you showing so much love for it gave me goosebumps and makes me want to watch it again 🚍

    I was living in Abu Dhabi at the time and went to the cinema with my mum to see this movie at 6 years old! Been my favourite movie ever since!

    I saw this in the theater during its first week of release, and I remember having so much fun. And developing a massive crush on Sandra Bullock. This is the movie that made her a household name.
    I never would have thought in 1994 that this would be a movie I would break out once a year. It's one of the ultimate comfort films for me. It's just about perfect.

  • @jonathanlemmon9597

    I saw it on VHS 📼 back in 2009 when I was either 14 or 15. Watched it again on 4K UHD 📀 during the pandemic when enough time had passed that I had forgotten how great it was and it was like seeing it for the first time. An Action Movie Masterpiece!
