Speed (1994) - MOVIE REACTION - First Time Watching

[@carn9507]

Fun movie. And will always remind me of this classic Homer Simpson quote: "I saw this in a movie about a bus that had to speed around the city, keeping its speed over fifty, and if its speed dropped, it would explode! I think it was called "The Bus That Couldn't Slow Down."

[@mikemartin8194]

No one ever reacts to Point Break. A descent movie with Keanu Reeves and Patrick Swazey

[@AnubisOda]

One of the best movies imo, i always think of it.

[@bengibbons7120]

One of my teenage skater days favourites 👍🏻

[@willcool713]

Came here to make the same recommendation. The original Point Break is my jam. A lot like Limitless, but substantially more realistic, yet still fully over the top. The remake has undoubtedly great stunts, seriously, but the plot falls flat and does a big disservice to the original. They should've just made a kick ass stunt movie, like all that ski porn from Warren Miller. The original Point Break is still an incredible watch.

[@blacklexus3965]

Very true

[@m_i_s_t_a_h__j_]

Not great... but definitely more than decent.

[@lethaldose2000]

Hey Lauren, Fun Fact: The missing highway was an actual part of the unfinished 105 highway when they were building it. The movie production was taking place at the same time and the directors and writers incorporated it into the movie. The opportunity was too good to pass up as a once-in-a-lifetime movie moment. In "Matrix (2) Reloaded", you're gonna see the modern way to get highway car chase drama.

[@bigdream_dreambig]

NO WAY NO WAY! 😝 Agreed. That would only ever work in a world with '90s-action-movie physics.

[@willstylz5021]

Action movie physics period lol, they're all unrealistic lol that's what makes them fun. In real life the bus would've hit traffic way before getting to that ramp lol.

[@bigdream_dreambig]

Historically, this role is what really helped transition Keanu out of the "stoner Ted" mold from Bill & Ted's Excellent Adventures and into bigger things. Without Speed, there never would have been The Matrix. Another Keanu film I would recommend that was released around that time is The Devil's Advocate (1997), which also features Al Pacino and Charlize Theron.

[@wickedsouls3402]

Devil's Advocate is Keanu's best film in terms of acting

[@omegapsi847]

I recommend watching "Point Break" with Keanu Reeves and Patrick Swayzee. Speed is kinda non-stop action, whereas Point Break is more of a spiritual Thriller with 2 amazing actors in their prime.

[@Wix_Mitwirth]

If you like Sandra Bullock, maybe try Demolition Man. Stallone.

[@ericseitzler81]

I personally think speed is the most underrated action film of all time,at the time it was huge but by the early 2000s everyone forgot about it and it still really really holds up to this day.

[@awakeatnight7668]

24:55 I laughed out loud too when the bus magically lifted off and made the jump lmao I think it would have helped make it more believable if they had a ramp there. That aside, Speed is a badass action thriller, and Keanu & Sandra Bullock are super likable leads. It's also wild seeing Jeff Daniels in something other than Dumb & Dumber and 101 Dalmations lol P.S. The fake out in that scene at 19:20 was insane, and I lost my shit like you did lol Your reactions were great and hilarious 💯

[@haddow777]

There was a ramp, but for some reason it wasn't in all the shots. If you look closely when it's just starting to angle up, you notice a pile of boards it hits. But ya, I get that the scene was still so rediculous that it pulls you out of the movie for a while.

The ramp there with the workers setting it up at last minute then the bus coming and everybody running for their lives.

[@galandirofrivendell4740]

Yes, the bus jump is physically impossible, but by then you're so invested in the action that you can forgive it.

[@michaelriddick7116]

I bet it looked really cool in the screenwriters head when they wrote it! 😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂

[@LoveLaurenn]

That bus jump had me rolling, I honestly thought it was just going to fall down between the two stretches of highway! I agree Keanu and Sanda were very likeable leads! It was definitely a change of pace seeing Jeff Daniels in a more serious role like this one! Thanks for watching Awakes😄

[@jpwcpa]

If I'm not mistaken, just about every action movie you've watched on your channel (including this one, certainly) has one or more scenes where something astonishing or surprising happens, and it always seem to elicit a very endearing wide-eyed, open-mouthed look of amazement from you. I'm not tired of seeing that look of amazement, Lauren, and I don't think I will be for a long time. Very entertaining reaction, as always.

[@LoveLaurenn]

Glad you enjoyed it! Thank you for watching😄

[@karlsmith2570]

"You'd Think Taking That Sharp Of A Turn In A Bus Doing 50 MPH The Bus Would've Tipped Over" That's why Keanu's character had all of the passengers get on the right-hand side of the bus, for weight distribution

[@Cau_No]

Back in the 80s and 90s you could see a lot of these car stunts. Driving on two wheels, doing jumps - "Speed" raised the bar on some of them. But it wasn't even the most outragous movie moments. At least they took a real bus and drove it over a real ramp, with some smart editing, no CGI. "The Fall Guy" with Lee Majors was an 80s TV show about a stuntman's side hustle as a bounty hunter, quite popular at the time. Had they made the show a decade later, they surely would have included footage from this film into the series.

[@karlsmith2570]

@@Cau_No I remembered watching "The Fall Guy" As for the bus jumping that 50 foot gap in the freeway not being CGI, it actually was, at least the landing part of it was Because the bts of the stunts in "Speed" shows that the section of freeway that was finished in the scene where the bus cleared that gap before they'd editing had shown the bus landing on roadway being well beyond where it lands in the final cut of the movie

[@Cau_No]

@@karlsmith2570 That's called VFX (Visual Effects), not CGI (Computer Generated Imagery) A lot of people don't know the difference anymore. Yes, they cheated, but they used editing techniques like Matte and Compositing, which now also are done all digital. At least they already knew how to do wire removal since Terminator 2. And Jurassic Park came out only the year before.

[@ChrisReise]

I remember watching this the first time and holding my breath when the bus hit the baby carriage. When the cans were revealed there was a HUGE sigh of relief and tears rolling down my cheeks.

[@LoveLaurenn]

yes lol omg that scene had me SHOOK! I thought it was a baby and was so relieved to learn it was just cans😂

[@ChrisReise]

@@LoveLaurenn Thanx for the reply.

[@PurushaDesa]

A straight up masterpiece. This next to Terminator 2 and Die Hard with a Vengeance might be my most rewatched 90s action film.

[@shainewhite2781]

One of my favorite Keanu Reeves action movies! Before Reeves was cast as the hero, Harrison Ford, Kurt Russell, Arnold Schwarzenegger, Tom Cruise, Charlie Sheen, Tom Hanks, Alec Baldwin and Jeff Bridges were considered. Jack Nicholson, Al Pacino and Robert DeNiro were considered for the villain Meryl Streep, Ellen DeGeneres, and Halle Berry were considered for Annie. The film was a box office and critical success making $350 million dollars against a $40 million dollar budget. It won Best Sound Editing and Best Sound Mixing at the 1995 Academy Awards. It's now considered to be one of the best action movies ever made.

[@deckzone3000]

I was up for the part too.

[@duncancaswah7214]

"This is how people get cut in half" LOL That elevator scene reminded me of the elevator scene from the Resident Evil movie from 2002. I don't know if you've played the games, but you should definitely give that a watch sometime! At least the first movie. It put a big smile on my face that you recognized Miles Dyson from T2. I'm looking forward to when you get that T2 movie reaction back up for us! I'm only half way the Speed movie reaction, and I must say that it's one of my favorite LoveLaurenn videos.

[@LoveLaurenn]

I played Resident Evil 5 a bunch when I was a teenager, which apparently that's the worst one lol. I haven't seen any of the resident evil movies so I may have to give those a watch eventually. I knew I recognized him from somewhere! Took a minute for me to figure it out but I did lol. I'm really glad you enjoyed this video, the movie was a fun watch for me. Thanks for watching Duncan!

[@spencerbookman2523]

I've seen this movie several time and I know everyone escapes unharmed, but that scene always makes my skin crawl. It's a very well executed chaotic scene.

That bus jump used up all my suspense of disbelief for the next twenty years. Still hasn't fully recovered yet. 😄

[@LoveLaurenn]

😂😂

[@Minion_of_Cthulhu]

Great video, Laurenn! Your reaction to the bus jumping the gap was hilarious! I think everyone has a problem with that part of the movie. You're also going to find that most people will agree with you about Keanu's acting here. Even he admits that he's not a very good actor, and it really shows in his early films. He's gotten much better over the years,but anything from the 90s will be tough to watch with the exception of The Matrix, and he wasn't exactly giving an Oscar worthy performance there either. He's actually not too terrible in Bill & Ted's Excellent Adventure, but that has more to do with the character than his ability as an actor. You'll also want to watch Demolition Man to see Sandra Bullock with Sylvester Stallone. She's hilarious and has some of the best lines in the movie.

[@LoveLaurenn]

That bus jump scene was hilarious, I died😂 Yeah I didn't think Keanu did a bad job or anything I just feel like it wasn't his best. I still enjoyed the movie despite all that, tons of action which I love! I appreciate the movie suggestions Jason😄Thank you for watching

[@jamesfrench7299]

I feel Keanu is one of those actors like Arnold Schwarzenegger where his physicality and style of speaking/mannerisms are what are his appeal and adequate is all that's required for commercial Hollywood fare.

[@Minion_of_Cthulhu]

@@jamesfrench7299 I agree. To his credit, as I mentioned, he has improved a lot over the years because he actually recognized that he wasn't very good and cared enough to work at getting better. He certainly deserves his success.

First off.....love the beanie! So cute. Second, my favorite reaction of yours was when the bus jumped the gap 🤣. I had the same reaction!! Such a Hollywood moment. Very excited to see what's next. Loved this so much, Laurenn 😁🥰

[@theeLonelyRedPanda]

Keanu fun fact in recent years during an appearance on the elen show. Both Keanu and Sandra have openly admitted to have huge crushes on one another during the filming of this movie, but neither acted upon it. That's why you can physically see the chemistry is a lil more lol

[@thereturningshadow]

Lauren, Since this was Keanu's INTRODUCTION to the action movie franchise, it makes sense that his later movie performances are better, but he did good in this.

[@FreezeTheWarning]

He did Point Break before Speed, and I think many would say he acted better in Point Break

[@daniellanctot6548]

20:25 - That's the Uvalde question, right? Yeah... It's been said that a truly great movie is one that has 3 great scenes and *no bad scenes* and, unfortunately, the "Flying Bus" scene is that bad scene that disqualifies Speed for that title nomination (... Well, that and when one considers that if Jack was able to accelerate the Subway car, then that means that *decelerating* it was *also* a functioning option...Then that makes two bad scenes!!) But it is still a top notch, fun action movie! If you want an even greater Sandra Bullock performance in an action movie, I highly recommend: Demolition Man (1993), Staring Sylvester Stallone and Westey Snipes.

[@jkhoover]

Yeah, Speed isn't believable, but Demolition Man is pure science. Everyone is an expert movie analyst nowadays. Just suspend your disbelief and believe. You know, people can't really build titanium alloy suits in a week and fly around creating world peace. Also, cyborgs can't really come from the future and save the future from other machines.

[@daniellanctot6548]

Ooh, did @@jkhoover wake-up on the wrong side of mommy today!? Just who claimed “Demolition man is pure science”? (‘cause I sure didn’t) And you did read the part where I said that Speed was pure fun, right? (Or did skip to rage Trolling before that?)

[@smavtmb2196]

Fantastic reaction This is a fun and intense movie. WOW you were a baby in 94. I bet you were more cute and adorable than baby Yoda. Suddenly I feel old I graduated high school in 94. Great Job recognizing Joe Morton aka Miles Bennett Dyson T2. You definitely need to suspend disbelief for that jump scene. Unfortunately I'm normally terrible at shutting off my critical thinking during movies to allow myself to just enjoy them. The road from one side of the gap to the other was basically the same level. No way to get the air/ clearance needed. Yes they definitely could have changed somethings to make it more believable. That scene drives me crazy.

[@michaelriddick7116]

Sandra was on the Ellen show and confessed how nervous she was around Keanu because if how bad she was crushing on him 🥰🥰 Weeks later Keanu was on the show and he admitted that the feeling was very much mutual 🥰🥰🥰 But neither got the courage to ask the other :( That's why they have such great chemistry together in this movie! 😊💘🥰🤣😂😭😭😭

[@romans52345-cy3tq]

[@tomr5577]

another absolutely wonderful reaction and review! and I don't think there was a single person who saw this movie that didn't face palm or shake their head when they saw the flying bus. I would recommend maybe three more Keanu movies, Constantine, Devil's Advocate, and Johnny Mnemonic. three very different movies, three different points in his career, all great in their own way.

[@Bruce-Wayne-101]

Great pick ❤️Lauren. One of Keanu's best movies, also it will give you anxiety because of all the suspenseful scenes. 😫😆

[@JONSEY101]

Hey Lauren! Great to see you again and you're looking stunning if i may say.🥰 OK, so i can understand your point about the bus jump but do you want to know something really crazy? They, in fact, did do the bus jump for real, HOWEVER, the missing part of the road is in fact a matt painting that's added in later. So yes, i was real, just that the gap in the road wasn't there because that would have been too dangerous and too much of a risk to do. The driver was strapped into the driver's seat with bungee cord in some kind of setup so that he didn't get hurt. The only thing he hurt doing that stunt was his lip as he bit it!, lol!😂 A fantastic movie and a great reaction also. Take care and have a wonderful day!❤

[@LoveLaurenn]

Wow that is a pretty wild stunt they pulled off! Really glad you liked my reaction wolfeyes, thank you for watching!😄

You're the first person I've seen do a blind reaction to Speed that recognized Lieutenant Mac was played by the same actor who portrayed Miles Dyson in T2. His name IRL is Joe Morton, I believe. The only other film I recall seeing him in was The Astronaut's Wife; a very negatively panned sci-fi/suspense entry with Johnny Depp, Charlize Theron and Clea Duvall. While it was nothing truly special, I feel the hate is truly overblown.

[@hafeya]

Point Break is required viewing for a Keanu run imho

[@toddsmitts]

Apparently, the original plan in the script was that Dennis Hopper's character (this was before the actors were cast) really did blow himself up in the first act. It then SEEMS as if he's come back and planted the bomb on the bus, but it would turn out to really be Harry who was behind it all along. I think they decided it would be better to give Jack an antagonist he could actually talk to during the bus scenes.

[@xavierrenegadeangel1356]

Dennis Hopper (the villain) is such a great over-the-top character actor. He's hilarious in Texas Chainsaw Massacre 2. Also the show "Mythbusters" tested the bus jump scene in one of their episodes. Long story short, obviously it's impossible. The second the bus doesn't have the highway beneath it's tires it will start to accelerate at roughly 9.8 meters per second squared downward. Even 1 second of hang time would cause the jump to fail. Also the guy who says "OH DARN" is Cameron from Ferris Buelers Day Off.

[@Tigermania]

I think I read the bus "jump" was not in the original script but was added by the director because the location had an actual incomplete section, so the director thought it was a opportunity not to miss. Now you have seen Dennis Hopper as the bomber watch True Romance(1993) just for the small scene he is in to see some great acting in a good movie.

[@mikecaetano]

Dennis Hopper, the actor who played the mad bomber in this movie, made his screen debut in "Rebel Without a Cause" (1955). His career included roles in some stand out movies including "Giant" (1956), "The Sons of Katie Elder" (1965), "Cool Hand Luke" (1967), "Hang 'Em High" (1968), "Easy Rider" (1969), "True Grit" (1969), "Apocalypse Now" (1979), "Rumble Fish" (1983), "River's Edge" (1986), "Blue Velvet" (1986), "Hoosiers" (1986), and "True Romance" (1993).

[@jcastromex]

One of the top action films of the 90s! I'm in agreement with you about the bus jump scene. Although Keanu said to Annie earlier that there could be an incline and the bus could jump over to the other side, that definitely was not the case. The road was completely level. It must have been a magical Hollywood bus that made that scene happen. 😆😆😆 My favorite scene was the look of Jeff Daniel's face when he saw that he was going to die. It was worthy of an Oscar! If you enjoy runaway vehicles, check out "Unstoppable" (2010) with Denzel Washington & Chris Pine. It's a locomotive free-for-all! 🚄 📽❤️

[@clussylove]

I hope you do Point Break next to keep the Keanu train rolling.

8:55 Pulling up by the nostrils is from martial arts, controlling a subject through pain, or for escaping from a assailant. 26:45 They thought the villain was watching by the live feed of the news helicopter, that's why Keanu told the chief to remove the helicopter from filming the chase. 32:35 A tug truck was pulling the plane, the explosion didn't reach the tug though. 36:35 The villain has the bomb trigger push on, Jack can't defend himself because if the trigger is released the bomb explodes.

The main problem with using that crane to hold the elevator at the beginning, is that the cable was slack when the guy blew the brakes. So instead of just maintaining potential, the crane had to fight the force of the fall, instantly compromising the crane and its attachment. Same principle as yanking a tablecloth out from under the dinnerware, but in reverse. Had they slowly put all the tension on the crane beforehand, it would've held fine when the brakes blew. Not for a long time, but plenty to get everyone out without much risk.

[@DoremiFasolatido1979]

The chemistry between Keanu and Sandra was pretty real in this movie. Both of them have mentioned a few times how each actually wanted to ask the other out, but couldn't get the nerve to do it. Keanu didn't want to impose on her, and Sandra thought he was out of her league. They still pretty clearly have feelings for each other, but still don't act on them because they both consider that all in the past. Little silly to me...I think they'd both be worlds happier if they'd just get together. Hard to find two nicer people...and Keanu's been through enough in his life that he deserves a proper win.

At this point in Keanu's career he wasn't known as a big action movie star, he was still Ted from the Bill & Ted movies. He had a role in Dracula which also people couldn't get into, so his acting chops weren't quite there yet and people still couldnt buy into him as a serious actor. Then came Point Break and Speed and those were the movies that catapulted Keanu's action movie career.

[@tiger1chu]

ah yes. "The Bus That Could Never Slow Down"

[@dhruvgeorge]

Dennis Hopper really had one of the best evil villain laughs

[@jeffburnham6611]

There's a making of video for this movie. They really did jump a bus to see if it was practicable, although the scene we see in the movie is mostly CGI. The bus did make the jump across the gap, but it wasn't driveable afterwards.

[@ruslanzakharov9958]

Point break is a cult movie too. Coming soon And Dracula of course

[@gordonduke8812]

Movie fact. The bus did not jump the "Gap". But, to get the scene of the bus jumping, they actually built a ramp and jumped the bus. At the time it was the longest bus jump on record. The effect of the bus going over the "gap", was done by a crane swinging the bus across it. As unrealistic as it was, it was a great stunt with a lot of technical problems to solve, and they did it, without CGI.

4 Hours stuck on the 17th floor in downtown LA. My coworker and I knocked it off the track...we overloaded the weight limit with construction tools and material. Question should be...who has relived themselves is an elevator-HAHA

Howard Payne aka Dennis Hopper (movie legend BTW from 60's and 70's. See "Easyider"). He is such an amazing villian. Smart, inventive, thinking 7 steps ahead. focused, psychotic. Payne start off the movie poor and crazy at the end he's rich essentric and a headless horseman. Keanu's acting is a bit stiff but all the other legends around him bring their A game including Sandra Bullock in her movie debut.

I hope we get to Point Break and Bird Box.

[@scottmacalino656]

Here is the thing about the bus jump and the sharp turn. Both stunts were done practically. Obviously they didn't actually jump a gap like that but the DID jump a bus that distance. That is why it didn't show a wide shot of the bus. The sharp turn was also done for real. They put counter weights on one side to keep it from flipping.

[@jamesaustin9273]

Fun fact. the production company actually arranged to jump a real bus 50 feet just to see if it could be done. They did so successfully and set a record doing so.

[@mrfomo217]

Almost first. Or something. So long since I watched this that I kinda forgot how suspenseful it is. A real nail-biter at times. But you're right about the bus jump. And they could have easily fixed it by having the cops just putting up some sort of makeshift ramp. Oh well, it is what it is. Anyways, great reaction as always. P.S. If you wanna see more of Sandra Bullock, you should give 'Demolition Man' a watch. It's a silly and fun Stallone action movie.

[@LoveLaurenn]

Thanks Mr Fomo! It was a nail biter for sure! Yeah you'd think they could've added a bit to the story and had the cops drive ahead to put in a ramp or something, I think that would've made it a bit more believable for me but regardless I still enjoyed the movie. That bus jump has me rolling🤣

[@mrfomo217]

@@LoveLaurenn Though perhaps busses of old were simply built different with all the weight in the back and the front filled with helium... I dunno.

[@Tr0nzoid]

The bus jump is a clear example of the stuntwork that was required at the time. Jan deBont wanted to make something significant so he wasn't going to use miniatures. A modern effect would have designed it to look more realistic somehow, but even in 1994 there were some people who didn't like it simply because of that jump.

[@geniusjohn8280]

I tune in because you start out talking about chicky nuggets and chocolate milk and jumping in. Something fascinating how you say it or perhaps I'm just always hungry.

[@TheRoidemortetfleur]

In Tucson, I thought I'd take a shortcut to the bus stop and 2 pit bulls started chasing me. I knew I'd only be in the town for a day, so I put my handprint in wet cement on the sidewalk. Also, I walked around campus that was off for holiday. Still, I was surprised how empty it was. University by me always has some people any day of the year.

[@Drforrester31]

I sometimes forget how crazy Dennis Hopper is in this movie. Echoes of Texas Chainsaw Massacre 2 when he runs out of the train to fight with Keanu on top

[@o0pinkdino0o]

So Keanu and Sandra both had massive crushes on each other, but never said a word until twenty years later they both revealed this on Ellen. Always speak your heart !

[@evolutionizer15]

There is another movie similar to this in terms of a bad guy with a bomb. It's called Blown Away and it stars Jeff Bridges and Tommy Lee Jones, it was released the same year but it gets overlooked by a lot of people because Speed came a little earlier, I think it's definitely worth a watch if you get the chance

[@nealrepetti2396]

The interior shots of Sandra driving, there was a stunt driver on the roof of the bus doing the driving.

[@srrizo69]

A great 90´s movie! Great reaction! Thank you for not reacting to the same movies at the same time like all the reactors :)

[@Maxxroad]

Pop Quiz Hot Shot. The most 90s quote ever.

[@thereturningshadow]

Lauren, Granted the bus would have needed a ramp of some kind to get that kind of air however at that speed of 70mph it is 100% possible to jump that distance as I have done it in my 1978 Chevy Impala many moons ago in my hometown doing 65mph jumping from railroad tracks. I launched my car 20 feet in the air and traveled at least 100 feet distance and landed on all four tires at once General Lee style. Did not damage my car but I did lose a hubcap.
