Keanu is a wonder. Speed is one of the many “you gotta be shitting me that looks so stupid” movies that he made that are excellent in so many ways.

It started with Point Break and the latest iteration are the John Wick flicks.

Got a shot of the whole collection?

I liked the irony of "Speed 2" which took place on a big, slow moving boat.

If anyone wants to go really deep on the history and making of Speed, check out the podcast 50mph. Fifty episodes that tell the story from start to end and has an interview with Keanu and Sandra in one of the last episodes.

Really good stuff. You learn than Speed was originally just set up as a cheap action film, they never expected the success they achieved.

Also, the script was briefly considered as an idea for the next Beverly Hills Cop movie.

I just saw this funny art piece at the Minnesota State Fair of the cover entirely made from seeds

earlier i watched a copy of speed that we taped in like 94, commercials and all. little time capsule

It's good, but I prefer the original, The Bus that Couldn't Slow Down

🎵Bus from Speed🎵

I finally got around to watching this last year and enjoyed it, unsurprisingly. The jump is tremendously dumb (seriously, could they not even have contrived a ramp‽) but other than that I was happy to buy into the silliness. You chew that scenery, Hopper!

Either you have huge hands, or VHS tapes are much smaller than I remember.

Pop quiz, Hot Shot. It's 1995 and all 20 copies at your local Blockbuster are sold out. Are you going to hang around the store to see if someone miraculously returns it?

The story Bullock tells of the audition between her and Reeves is bonkers. The Smartless podcast with Bullock is worth listening to for this alone.

Sandy is a gem and does not get enough Hollywood respect. She's got sooo much talent and skill!

The entire movie is just the bus going "Bitch I'm a bus!"

First R movie i ever saw
