SPEED (1994) MOVIE REACTION!! FIRST TIME WATCHING!

[@conormolloy1010]

The quintessential mid 90s action flick. Such a simple concept for a movie yet executed to perfection.

[@Serenity113]

Fun fact: Keanu and Sandra had crushes on each other while filming this movie but neither of them knew it. Which explains their chemistry between them in this.

[@michaelriddick7116]

Reminds me of Pitt and Jolie in Mr. And Mrs. Smith .... only more wholesome 😁

[@danikasilva9906]

😭😭😭just imagine what their children would be like 🥲🥺😭

[@Serenity113]

@Eagle Fang it is true. They both admitted it when they were on Ellen. Sandra explained that she had a crush on him while filming but thought he didn’t like her. But Reeves said that Sandra obviously didn’t know that he had a crush on her either.

[@sexysadie2901]

@Eagle Fang Wth are you talking about? HIs ex was way younger than him, and so is his current girlfriend.

[@jfilesgraphics]

If I was in Keanu Reeves' shoes, I'd have a crush on her too. She is absolutely gorgeous.

Dennis Hopper, the bad guy, wasn't just in 24, he was in Blue Velvet, Easy Rider, Apocalypse Now, was in the best scene of True Romance, and got an Oscar nomination for Hoosiers, etc.

He was also the director of Easy Rider.

Weird to think Hopper isnʻt known by everyone. Heʻs the biggest star in this movie at the time of release.

When this movie came out. It was everywhere. All anyone was talking about, it was in pop culture so much people seem to have gotten sick of it and forgotten about it, which is a shame. But this is a perfect movie, perfect pacing from beginning to end, no letdown and no feeling like it’s getting bloated. This movie made Sandra Bullock a big star. Then she took a hit making speed 2, which bombed.

Ah, the 90s, when they actually blew up shit for real in movies instead of using crappy CGI... Also, if you like awesome explosions, I recommend "Blown Away" (1994). Fun fact, there's an explosion in this movie that was so powerful it actually shattered 8,000 windows in East Boston during filming.

[@FaZekiller-qe3uf]

They still use real explosions in movies today. Also, an explosion doesn't need to be CG to be fake, crappy, or both. Practical effects doesn't mean they really did it, it means they did it in camera. People don't often attempt simulate explosions to be accurate, because it's too hard and too expensive; that's why CG explosions look so different than the (what would be even more complex to simulate) practical pyrotechnics.

I love how contained and Aristotelian this film is in terms of the logic. Every single thing led to every other thing, and it could not have been done differently.

Sandra Bullock and Keanu Reeves' interviews about working with each other were actually really cute. In separate interviews, both of them admitted on Ellen that they had crushes on each other during the filming of this movie. But of course, it never happened because they maintained a professional attitude. Imagine if they had gotten together though.

[@willcool713]

The last person in the US seriously injured in a falling elevator accident was in the Empire State Building in NY, NY, sometime in the 1920's when a military plane hit the building and damaged the elevators' safety mechanisms. The woman inside fell some 30 stories, but slowly, and roughly, broke her leg in the bouncing not the landing. Elevators cannot fall, for all practical purposes, nothing contemporary and even moderately maintained. You'd need severe stress, weathering, rust, and probably some kind of disaster to truly see an elevator actually fall any appreciable distance. Go tell an elevator repairperson about your fears that it might fall -- they get irritated, tell you all about how it *does not happen* (because they do their job) and likely you'll hear the same story about the Empire State Building. It must be a union thing, or something.

[@tempsitch5632]

I read a statistic that 80% of Los Angeles’ elevators have expired safety certifications.

[@willcool713]

@@tempsitch5632 Probably. Most people get hurt in elevators because of the smart features, when they go wrong, like the floor matching sensors. People trying to get out can get chopped when an elevator thinks it needs to switch levels suddenly. They say never to risk it if the car is more than a foot above or below the exit floor. Further than that and an elevator might correct to the next floor with a shift of weight.
