SPEED (1994) | FIRST TIME WATCHING | MOVIE REACTION

The fact that construction work is constantly behind schedule/not finished, is definitely the most realistic thing about the movie.

[@danieldwyer]

As a kid that had to catch the bus in the 1990s to go to school, the most realistic part for me is when Keanu is running beside the bus window pounding on the glass and the bus driver doesn't stop to let him on.

Speed was Sandra Bullock's breakout role. Most people had never heard of her, and once this came out, she was HUGE. I also wouldn't call this a "cult classic." It was a huge success, one of the biggest movies of the summer and the year. And it holds up pretty well as a unique action movie. Sure, there are aspects of it that are silly. But it's a barn-burner. I saw it in the theater. A great time.

Demolition Man, while good, wasn't as big a thing for her as Speed. Speed grossed over 10 times its budget at the box office.

A perfect summer movie is a movie that has it all: humor, action, suspense, and romance. That’s why I think “Speed” is the perfect summer movie. It flawlessly blends all these elements due, in part, to casting actors who are skilled at both comedy and drama (e.g., Sandra Bullock, Dennis Hopper, Jeff Daniels). Bullock, in particular, adds so much to the film's humor, suspense, and romance. Her chemistry with Keanu was fantastic. There’s a reason why she became America’s sweetheart after this movie.

A couple of years ago, in separate interviews Sandra and Keanu both admitted that while filming 'Speed' they had developed crushes on each other, but they NEVER did anything about it. They reteamed for a drama called 'The Lake House' in 2006, which is a very romantic film with a weird twist. Dennis Hopper made a career out of oddball characters like the bomber in this...he was terrifying in the David Lynch film 'Blue Velvet', heartbreaking in 'Hoosiers', and his career goes all the way back to doing two films with James Dean in the 1950s...'Rebel Without A Cause' and 'Giant' with Rock Hudson and Elizabeth Taylor. He was also a director with the classic 'Easy Rider' which co-starred in with Peter Fonda and Jack Nicolson. Sandra did a sequel film that took place on a cruise ship (Speed 2: Cruise Control)...my advice is IGNORE IT. However, you should watch 'Twister' which is also directed by Jan de Bont (who directed this) and stars Helen Hunt and Bill Paxton.

Don't forget Hopper's role in 'Apocalypse Now' where he was trying to describe Marlon Brando's Col. Kurtz to Martin Sheen. Hopper was an interesting actor.

Even though Sandra Bullock had been appearing in films for a few years it was this film that really put her on the map in terms of being a real "star" and leading lady. It was her big breakthrough.

[@RetroClassic66]

Excellent reactions, ladies! Always fun to see you two together enjoying a movie. This was a big hit in the summer of 1994 and quickly became a classic! Back then the entertainment press made a lot about how it had been referred to throughout the film industry as “Die Hard On A Bus,” and it may have actually been pitched that way to various studios before 20th Century Fox (the same studio that had made DIE HARD (1988), of course) bought the screenplay and gave the production the green light. Lots of fun and as you can see, the film still holds up today, almost 30 years later!

[@croftatron]

Probably also due to Jan DeBont being Director of Photography on Die Hard too.

[@iChristyD]

The lady who plays poor Helen is a family friend and she’s been in sooooo many movies, big movies! She became really good friends with Sandra and played her Mom in another movie. The lady I’m talking about is Beth Grant and she’s freakin amazing.

Yeah that bus jump requires pretty much the ultimate suspension of disbelief 😁 Notice the Pacific Courier plane that got hit at the airport was the same fake company as the van in Die Hard that Hans and company used to unload in the basement.

[@IndyCrewInNYC]

Believe it or not, as a kid I saw this in the theater and when I got home I saw the news about a certain White Bronco containing an ex-NFL star in the backseat being chased by the LAPD. That will forever be my memory whenever I see this flick. You two are the best reactors by far.

[@Shawn-rq4py]

Both Sandra and Keanu admitted to having crushes on each other during the making of this film a few decades after this film. Neither of them knew the other had a crush at the time. I’ve seen both of their interviews talking about it and the shock when they found out the other also had a crush.

Cassie you are without a doubt my favorite reactor, but the two of you together are so much fun.

[@SwiftFoxProductions]

If you'd like more Keanu Reeves movie recommendations... You really have to watch "Bill & Ted's Excellent Adventure"!! It's a very fun sci-fi comedy and was Keanu's original star-making role before "Speed" turned him into a legit action star. I, also, think you and Carly would really love "The Lake House", which is the romance movie he made with Sandra Bullock about 10 years after "Speed". And for more of an action Keanu, "Constantine" is a very solid comic book movie that has developed a nice cult following over the years. 😊

[@paulwolffart1251]

The first Reeves movie I remember seeing was The River's Edge which also had Dennis Hopper in it. It predates Bill & Ted by a few years and is a dark drama from about 1985. It is not as well known as his other movies, but definitely worth seeking out.

[@ex-navyspook]

[@blederman3747]

What I'm loving about PIB is getting a woman's perspective on some of my favorite movies. For example, I never would have noticed the "low level flirting" that you pointed out. Plus when you mentioned how much pressure was on Annie when Jack slid under the bus at the airport to defuse the bomb. There are many subtle emotional comments you made that I found enlightening!💡

[@bryannewcombe858]

This movie literally has NO dull moments. It's non-stop action from start to finish.

[@jeremycovelli]

Jeff Daniels filmed this and Dumb and Dumber at the same time.. his character in both is named Harry. Fun fact, they actually jumped a real bus for that scene.. on flat ground with a ramp, but it did actually go over 100 feet. It also had to be filmed twice because the first time the stunt driver missed the ramp and crashed the bus. The crew didn't want to tell the studio so they quickly found a replacement bus and re filmed it two days later (20th Century Studios didn't find out about the wrecked bus until after the movie was in theaters). The second jump went way further than expected and landed on a very expensive camera which was destroyed.. and was also owned by the studio lol.

[@willemnagtglas4569]

And the stunt driver almost bit off his tongue landing the bus.

[@dawbacca]

Wow! "The Bus that Wouldn't Slow Down".

[@PurushaDesa]

1990s action films were my entry point to falling in love with the medium of cinema - and from script to cast to pacing to Mark Mancina’s incredible score, this is a nigh on flawlessly executed piece of entertainment. One of my most rewatched films from this era.

[@canadianicedragon2412]

If I'm not mistaken, the first bus that blows up was "out of service" at the time so only the driver on board. That said it has been a while since I saw the film so he may have just started and picked up his first fares. The movie never disappoints... and neither do you two, another great react.

[@micheletrainor1601]

Its sad to know what could have been because it was only recently that Sandra bullock said she had the biggest crush on him and kept giggling and blushing when he looked at her. When Keanu Reeves found this out on a talk show he was so surprised and shocked but he also revealed he felt the same way about her but thought she didn't like him like that.. they would have been perfect for each other.

The characters are all great and likeable, the stunts and action are all amazing, the comedy is on point, the romance is actually really sweet, and it's a hell of a creative idea. Glad you both checked it out and had such a blast with it, it's a great movie and it's a lot more than just another typical 90s action flick.

[@asteven8]

I remember my mom renting this at Blockbuster (dating myself but oh well) on a Friday night. It started out with me and her watching it. By the time it ended, everyone in the house was watching and cheering.

I thought they went as far as they could with the jump, then I thought the action was over when the bus blew up, and then I could only laugh out loud in the theatre when I realised that they were on *another* runaway vehicle. 🤣 But I had to hand it to movie critic Roger Ebert who gave it a maximum four stars and wrote: "Can a bus jump 50 feet? This is the kind of movie where you don't ask that question."

[@bigdream_dreambig]

"You watched a movie called Dracula? I don't even know who you are anymore." 🤣

[@dallassukerkin6878]

Thank you for reminding me that Speed is actually a really good movie! The bus jump was an immersion breaker but we'll let that one slide :)

[@bdkj3e]

The funny part is they actually jumped a real bus to make that scene and they digitally removed the road afterwards, I saw it FOREVER ago on a show called movie magic that would go into behind the scenes details of the special effects of movies, specifically the practical effects like blood squibs, car jumps, gas bombs, miniatures. It was an amazing show that I used to watch as a kid.

[@smylyface]

Sandra and Keanu did another great movie together called The Lake House. Some other good romantic Keanu movies are Sweet November and A Walk in the Clouds. Point Break is still my favorite though... Keanu and Patrick Swayze. 😍

[@matthewvade6553]

"Speed" and "Demolition Man" (another movie you all have to see) are the two movies that made the world take notice of Sandra Bullock, immediately moving her from the "Who's that?" list to the A-list. Two quick suggestions. As others have said, you should react to "Point Break" the 1881 version with Keanu and Patrick Swayze, definitely not the 2015 remake. Absolutely correct. That one definitely should be on your list. Second, do not waste your time watching "Speed 2." Even Sandra Bullock couldn't save that disaster of a movie.

[@enigmamz]

Um, the 1881 version might not be in color, and Carly has a thing against B&W movies. Also, I don't think Keanu or Patrick were born yet.

[@Zeromus10]

Your laugh at 15:25 is soooo good. Miss movies like this! This is a great one. If you are into similar movies, you have to see Point Break, the original one. You could also see Speed 2 but it is not the same level as Speed. Another action thriller you will like is Broken Arrow

Great movie, real fun when it came out. Dennis Hopper is such a good villain here and you can tell he's having a blast in his role. The gap jump was movie magic. They built a ramp then made a little explosion to get a slightly extra lift off the ground to make it work.

Iam pretty sure thats not how gravity works. Or psysics. The still have forward momentum that has to be expended somehow. So its plausible. Depends on how elevated i would be.

[@bigdream_dreambig]

@@laigron7884 True, there would be forward momentum. The problem is that the bus starts falling the moment its front tires leave the road, and there's no way a rationally-designed road would have enough of an elevation change over that short of a span to accommodate the resulting fall. The other problem is that the front tires become unsupported long before the rear tires do, so the bus starts to tilt/tumble forward. Bad news all around. Without a ramp or some other introduction of upward momentum, this isn't gonna work.
