"I saw this in a movie about a bus that has to SPEED around the city, keeping its SPEED over 50, and if its SPEED dropped, it would explode. I think it was called... The Bus That Couldn't Slow Down" -- Homer Simpson

I saw this other movie where at the end there's three fourth graders taking over a bus because the driver got knocked out and they had to get it back to the city

[@TheCBLingo]

What a perfect action movie. Exciting, funny, so smartly written. Hasn't aged at all. Stands alongside Die Hard as the very best in popcorn entertainment.

The sad thing about this movie is they have such great chemistry and are really good together but have never been in a relationship with each other. However they remain really good friends

[@kayearcher8407]

Nah, there was no pilot or copilot on the plane, it was being towed for service, and it looks like the towing car was okay too.

[@tfpp1]

11:29 - I'm an LA native, I remember this. I believe the 105 freeway was actually not in use yet, it was still being built, or was just recently built, or something like that. So that part of it was accurate. I think they filmed it before it was opened to the public (easier than having to shut it down after the fact).

[@jaybizzle1995]

Buzzcut Keanu is one of the best Keanus

Yeah. My favorite look. Then its the Neo look. Not a fan of the john wick hair

[@MelaniePoparad]

This is the movie that started my one sided love affair with keanu reeves. Also, the scene when jack is under the bus and the passengers all ban together to help him shows the good of humanity and how we can all be together and lift each other up without being forced or mandated. I love this movie. It is literally one of my favorites. It came out before i turned 10 and i wasn’t allowed to watch the opening scene but from then on, i was good to go!

[@Stephie_L]

That banding together is a big part of why I love this film and what I feel is missing in most modern day films. This generation focuses so much on division and our differences instead of what we have in common...as you said, our humanity.

[@RolandDeschain1]

I remember seeing this in a packed cinema when it came out, and the atmosphere was absolutely ELECTRIC. I had not experienced anything like that since TERMINATOR 2: JUDGEMENT DAY.

[@dawggirl]

Same, saw it on Opening Night.

[@arnoldrivas4590]

What's crazy was Keanu Reeves did 90% of his stunts. Including the jump from car to bus. Loved this movie! I still love this movie! Loved it as a kid, still love it as an adult!

[@ScarlettM]

"Point Break" is an amazing movie with Keanu Reeves, one of his best!

[@antonysirio262]

[@jenniferri7735]

this movie is so freaking amazing. i will never forget seeing in the theater with a big group of friends, the whole cinema cheering and whistling and screaming. incredible experience.

[@BlackavarWD]

When the bus hit the baby carriage...? OMG people went nuts!

[@dr.k8610]

Also, please do Con Air! Saw it in the poll. It’s a wonderfully ridiculous Nic Cage movie, same with Face/Off if you haven’t seen that

[@ffffffelipe]

Conair is super good lol just plain action with a somewhat decent story, I really like it

[@ComeOnIsSuchAJoy]

Also "The Rock" to complete Cage's 'Testosterone Trilogy.'

[@SparkleKnits]

Face/Off is awesome.

[@dawggirl]

Fun fact: I was so obsessed with Keanu Reeves after this movie I went to see his band Dogstar perform. Why they came to Atlanta, I have no idea. The sarcastic guy in the elevator was in the band with him.

[@jenniferri7735]

oh! if it’s not already on your list, “twister” is another movie by the same director as this one, jan de bont. it’s got a lot of the same feel - fantastic action sequences, humor in the right places, and a great cast of really fun characters.

[@ozdeveraux2082]

90’s movies remain unmatched in their abilities to just provide simple, fun action based movies! This was such a big deal when it came out! I still remember Jeez Keanu was Smokin hot in this movie, haha. I had forgot. What fun this movie is though

[@nathancruz9172]

24:28-24:30 that’s my favorite movie from Keanu Reeves from my childhood.

[@LA_HA]

Well, I dunno. The 80's had some great action movies, as well as movies in general. So, "unmatched" might be overstating it just a little. But yeah, great movies in the 90's. Love them.

[@dutch90skid70]

By the way... Face/Off is definitely the best movie of this era. So if you haven't added that to your list yet... there you go 😁

[@jp3813]

@@dutch90skid70 If by "era" you mean 90s, I'd have to give the title of best action movie to Terminator 2. Hong Kong action was also peaking w/ Hard Boiled, Drunken Master 2, Fist of Legend, etc...

[@dutch90skid70]

​@@jp3813 I didn't say I was talking about 90's or action movies in general. You kind of blew things up here. I was talking about the 90's era where pratical effects still mattered to make great movies. Terminator is nowhere near the level of Speed, Face/Off etc. We're talking about the last succesful era of major action stars like Nic Cage and Bruce Willis (Die Hard). It was Schwarzenegger who drove away from this genre completely. The more scifi, the better... Movies like Speed, Face/Off, Con Air, The Rock etc. were like a genre on it's own. The 'F*ck you Hollywood, we don't need green screens to blow people's mind away' genre. Face/Off taking the lead by far.

[@jp3813]

@@dutch90skid70 Blew things up? All we're doing is sharing favorites here, not everything has to be an argument, so just take it easy. All the movies you named are 90s action, so it was a reasonable assumption. I said Terminator 2, not just Terminator. It's sci-fi as well and has fantastic use of practical effects courtesy of the legendary Stan Winston. I rank it the highest b/c it has the most compelling story, great character development, & incredible action sequences (they actually flew a helicopter under a bridge). I'm a huge John Woo fan, hence Face/Off is among my favorites. But Hard Boiled is often considered his magnum opus especially when it comes to showing Hollywood how it's done since it's a Hong Kong film. Speed, Con Air, & The Rock are actually part of a subgenre called "the Die Hard scenario". Where a lone hero has to deal w/ a hostage taker in an isolated setting. Again, this isn't an argument, we're just sharing here.

[@roadrage9191]

Late 80's and 90's were certainly the best, I was at the movie rental shops about every week getting multiple good movies if I wasn't in the cinema. Nowadays it is hard to get 1 good movie a month in cinema. It says a lot when the only movies you look forward to are Marvel movies or Batman movies. Not to undercut their succes, but the other genre's really have become of low quality in my opinion. With only the occational exception. Sad the movie industry has gone to shit. I mean think of these movies The matrix The sixth sense The silence of the lambs A fish called wanda Jurrasic park Forrest Gump The Green mile Shawshank redemption seven Good will hunting The usual suspects The fugitive ... And these are just a few timeless classics with different genres on top of the movies listed above. Best movie of 2019 / 2020 that is not marvel or DC. I cannot even think of 1 to be honest, surely a few exist that are good but it is telling it is hard to even remember a few.

[@peterschmidt4348]

I hope you watch "National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation" !

[@jaredmulconry]

They didn't set up the bus jump scene well. It was probably hard enough to find a free way under construction to get that footage, so I guess they couldn't contrive some kind of ramp. The footage of the jump itself was pretty epic, they legit drove a bus at full speed off a ramp and ended up with that. It didn't fly 50ft, since the front got kicked up hard and lost a lot of forward momentum, but it flew pretty good. If you can find the behind the scenes of that shot, it's pretty intense seeing the actual bus pull it off.

[@marmiksaini]

I want to suggest a bunch of 1996 movies. *Twister - Star. Bill Paxton, Helen Hunt (Dir. Jan de Bont, The Director of Speed) *The Rock - Star. Sean Connery, Ed Harris, Nicolas Cage *Ransom - Star. Mel Gibson, Gary Sinise, Rene Russo *Daylight - Star. Sylvester Stallone, Amy Brenneman

[@toddsmitts]

I highly recommend "Backdraft", if you like action. They used REAL fire for that one. No CG!

[@nessaarandur7740]

I'm so happy to see a reaction to this great movie. Thanks! It's mainly set on a bus, but this movie is enough to make people avoid elevators, buses, and trains.

[@douglasmckenzie3324]

Now this movie was insane in the theaters 😃

[@gggooding]

Tim, your annoyed look into the camera when the bus jumps the gap...made me laugh 😂 deeply and truly. Thank you _so_ much, brother, I *needed* that.

[@zishlol]

Lmao that face at 14:38 says it all about that scene

[@BlackavarWD]

That scene requires a lot of *suspension* *of* *disbelief* 😅

[@Rob_Infinity3]

From the poll: You definitely have to react to Con Air too.

[@nikikinsnw]

Perfect guilty pleasure movie.

[@QuayNemSorr]

Always annoyed me that Harry gets blown up. Show me the SWAT team that would let the cripple take point. (no pilots were killed, the plane was unmanned) For another action flick I nominate the less known "Soldier" with Kurt Russell.

[@dabe1971]

21:02 Nope, it's a retired plane being towed to be scrapped. If you look you can see it has a door missing. The tow-truck driver might have a few singed hairs though. Excellent film, huge in it's day. Didn't need the final act of jeopardy though, should've ended with Howard's death.

[@jean-paulaudette9246]

For something a bit similar to this, but with added comedy, you might like "The Chase" with Charile Sheen & Kristy Swanson.

[@ckobo84]

You forgot "Getaway" with Selena Gomez and Ethan Hawke.😂

[@Stephie_L]

Gosh the 90s! Real action movies...I miss going to the cinema to see these type of films, great acting and suspense...no politics and no vfx with poor stories. I'd recommend Con Air, Face Off for action. Miss Congeniality for another great performance from Sandra. React to more classics please :))

[@Misskanojojo]

Funny thing Sandra Bullock said recently that she has a crush on keanu whilen filming that movie. Later weeks in that same TV show where Sandra confess to the audience, keanu assisted too AND the host told him about that, he has a crush too on Sandra but never told to each other.

[@joits]

This movie is so much fun to watch. Which is more unbelievable... the bus actually jumping that gap or the fact that it drove around that part of southern California during a weekday at that time and managed to stay over 50mph before getting to the airport? 21:05 The plane that exploded was presumably empty as it was being towed by a truck. Also... there is no sequel.

[@babyfry4775]

Speed was a lot of fun. Loved Keanu with Sandra Bullock. Dennis Hopper was great as the villain. He was in Easy Rider a long, long time ago. Good reaction.

[@ThoughtfulPotato]

I've seen this movie so many times, I recite practically the whole thing line for line with timing et al! It was fun watching your reactions and reliving my first viewing experience! Also, that jumping the gap in the freeway may seem unrealistic now but dayum it had us at the edge of our seats back then!! This was one of those movies that inspired me to enter the entertainment industry to begin with and it's still one of the best damn screenplays to study for movies of this genre!

[@histubeness]

The gap jump wasn't just unrealistic, it was impossible. The bus would have went down like a rock. I almost walked out of the theater at that point. For me, it ruined what could have been a close to perfect movie.

[@TrillBelichick]

This was my all time favorite movie in 1st grade. I watched this so many times the VHS got worn out and stopped playing shortly after Harry got killed.

[@GameOn71213]

I recently rewatched this movie on KZbin It’s still a fun action film , glad to see your reaction to this , I still have some hope for a possible third film with Keanu and Sandra.

[@danielfortier2629]

Bonne réaction, comme toujours. This villain is not as mean as the one in the "SAW" series of movies! Jigsaw is a maniac compared to the villain in Speed. I don't know if you've already seen the SAW movies or not, but if you didn't, you should! There's not much action but it's hard seeing all these people being cruelly martyred!

[@CinemaJacket]

If you haven't seen all 3 John Wick movies... That's 3 videos worth of content right there!

[@3DJapan]

21:03 If they were just towing the plane maybe not.

[@andrewr255]

I saw this movie many a time in the theatre back in the day as I LOVED this movie. But yes the one flaw that takes you out of the film just for a moment is the bus jump as suspension of disbelief doesn't cover it lol. But the movie is so great you easily overlook it and also before you have time to breathe you get caught up in the next action sequence.

[@ckobo84]

The front of the bus would have instantly nose dived upon leaving the road.😂

[@chrislawson1988]

I remember when this came out we had to see this in theaters we always watched entertainment tonight every night they covered this heavily they were even doing making of behind the scenes stuff for this before it even came out they showed the bus jumping the bridge so many times how they did that and a lot of stuff like him jumping on the bus from the car even the bus hitting the plane I think they showed so much before the movie was even out it just got us hyped up more we knew this was going to be awesome we had to see this in theaters some parts they did keep hidden like what happens to his partner but even my mom said she figured something was going to happen to him they even showed parts from the subway near the end it was still awesome then it's still awesome now when on tv have to watch it lol this was awesome seeing you react ing to this lol

And yea, they actually jumped the bus and it went further than expected (of course not over an actual gap-that was digital added later).

[@everettnapihaa6111]

Killed off Jeff Daniels (Dumb and Dumber), killed but 'unkilled' Alan Rucker (Ferris Beullers Day Off)...because they worried of fans backlash so Alan Rucker survived the jump off the bus in a different take. Sandra's I guess easy breezy look was super hot here than in any other flick!

[@saintmatthias8187]

Oh just you wait, it might not seem that hard. With him giving him the information of the bus. But it gets way more complicated and difficult.

With this movie and with FACE OFF (1997) it is clear that Nolan was not the first to destroy a real plane while filming a movie. In the 90s it was very common to film scenes with real elements, it is very strange at the time with practical effects, today CGI is abused a lot, where everything looks very fake.
