    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.

    My best memory of watching Speed.

    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.

    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!

    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.

    When I first saw the movie, it was theaters as a kid. I was 13.

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.

    I remember seeing the trailers for this on TV and in other movies and I couldn't wait. So I went to the movies with my grandmother whom I was living with while in college after my grandpa died. Her knee never stopped shaking the entire time. We both enjoyed it very much. I've owned it ever since both on VHS and now Blu-ray. I watch it once a year at least.

    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.

    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)

    I recall seeing Speed at the cinema on my own and literally on the edge of my seat with my heart in my mouth for most of this movie! There has never been another film that I have seen that has come close to that reaction in me. Thank you for showcasing this awesome movie on your Feature Presentation. It so deserves all the accolades.

    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.

    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.

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

    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.

  • @TheMonkeyBizzness

    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!

    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.

    Saw Speed for the first time in a theater on film, in 2019 and it blew my mind. One of the best, most raw action movies ever and still holds up.

    Thank you Chris for quite possibly the best review to my favourite action film ever! I know exactly what you mean about your parents being buses driver's, my father was a bus driver and watching it with him on the big screen was such a Payne, the ending in the subway, the train miniature as it crashes and breaks in two then comes out the subway still holds up to this day, film making at its best 👌🏻

    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.

    Speed is fantastic. One of my all time favourites. It's the kind of movie I could watch over and over and never get bored with it. I couldn't even begin to guess how many times I've watched it.

    This is def the most memorable movie from my childhood. Greatest action movie score ever. My Dad made it a point to always have me watch action movies with him. Me and my sister would always repeat the one liners in this gem. “50, stay above 50” Lol timeless classic

    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!!

  • @dibbdee

    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!

    Speed would be shown on Dutch television several times a year (probably because of Jan de Bont's roots)! So I was lucky enough to be able to watch it countless times in the early 00s. Brilliant film

    Imagine pitching this movie as "the most exciting bus ride ever".
    Channels like this help me appreciate when I see something done well. It's nice to be sucked into a movie enough to accept what's on screen in the fiction of it, but taking a step back and seeing the real risks and coordination and logistics required to present what you're seeing is another layer of fun.

  • @Bob.sackamano

    I was 13 and saw this in theatres. I can truthfully say this was the first movie where I was fully consumed to what was going on from start to finish. I recall a sense of relief when keanu and Sandra get off the bus. The plot to this film is almost silly if you will, but the filmmakers just managed to pull off something so amazing. There will never be anything like Speed ever again in our lifetime.

    One of my favorite movies. Period. I watched it on a rental VHS with a 19" CRT type of TV with low resolution and fxxked up color. I started watching it on a sofa, then I moved on to the floor , and at the end I was sitting within two feet of the TV. I was literally glued to the TV. The movie was that good. The movie didn't let you go. One action scene after another. CGI was non-existent. Everything looks real. I didn't know Keanu and Sandra then. But they had excellent chemistry in the movie. It was a ride.
