      It really is a product of the times and when one is well into adulthood when this released then saying typical is quite acceptable. I hope many can forgive that I kinda rolled my eyes when the trailers released. Another safe action packed film with pretty leads and predictable writing - that's how it was done. This could've easily become the Fast and Furious if created later, becoming more outlandish to up the stakes. :)

      @terrylandess6072 it's not typical though. It's arguably one of the top five action movies of all time. It had a modest budget, but it crushed the competition that summer, including Blown Away with Tommy Lee Jones. That was supposed to be the "mad bomber" big budget blockbuster of the summer. But then Speed came out of nowhere. Now, Blown Away I would argue is a typical (and pretty good actually) action movie. Speed is not typical. Go read Roger Ebert's and some other critics' reaction at the time of its release. Again, a top five action movie of all time is not "typical"

    In addition to Keanu and Sandra's great chemistry, Dennis Hopper was a GREAT villain with some funny punchlines. Jeff Daniels also added a lot of character in a short amount of time.
    Another great chemistry movie for Keanu is The Replacements, both with his girl and with his coach Gene Hackman; as well as Point Break, where Keanu once again has great chemistry with Lori Petty and Patrick Swayze.

    My strongest first memory of this film is watching it on tv with my parents, we all really enjoyed it a lot. I like what you said about the pacing and the tension vs relief, this never gets boring or tiring. I hadn’t seen point break before this, so the only film I knew Keanu in was Bill and Ted’s. Also I have yet to see a bad movie Keunu has made, at this point I am not entirely sure it’s possible for him to make a truly terrible film, Keanu is just that awesome. As for the sequel to speed, I can’t really recommend it, I watched it once and never found a need to watch it again, your results may vary.
    Thank you so much for the commentary and reactions, I enjoy great commentary… greatly. Looking forward to the next one!

The guy handing the tickets asked us what movie we were going to watch. When we told him speed, he said "oh cool, im The first guy that appears in the film, im the security guard" and sure enough he was!

    Great reaction guys!!! Fun fact, this movie was a sleeper hit, because the premise was so simple people were like why would we want to see a movie about a bus in LA traffic??? It was dismissively called " Die Hard on a bus" That of course all changed once people gave it a chance. It gave Keanu and Sandra's careers a huge boost. A couple of Keanu movies to see are Bill and Ted's Excellent Adventure and Parenthood , in Parenthood he has a supporting role. Dennis Hopper who plays the bad guy here is a legend, he plays bad guys so well., check him out in EASY RIDER, BLUE VELVET , and APOCALYPSE NOW, and WATERWORLD. His character in Waterworld is wild!!

      I don't remember _Speed_ to be a sleeper hit, it was heavily marketed and I watched it on its opening week on a packed matinee, also it opened in multiple auditoriums on each cinema complex.

    • @kenpaden
      @kenpaden Год назад

      Jose, thanks for your reply, just do a google search asking if Speed was a sleeper hit, all kinds of articles will pop up. It was starting to change the last week or so when actual critics actually saw the movie and were raving about it. Check the box office numbers also, it opened to about 14millioin, which is not bad but it barely dropped the next 4 weeks because of word of mouth, people telling their friends this film is really good. A movie with very small drops in box office numbers from one week to next are rare, usually they make a big splash the first week then drop 30- to 50% the next week. I also think the Hollywood big shots missed the growing star power of Keanu Reeves.

    "Break the chain." My guy, they're literally made to not break for _years_ of service and people trying to break them. That's the point. However, a cop not having a cuff key is a crock of you-know-what. I still carry a cuff key and I haven't carried cuffs for several years. There is a reason I carry two keyrings. One is personal, and the other is... ancillary. I do a little physical pen testing these days. One of my keyrings is "possession of burglary tools" depending on who you ask. Of course, all my work is above board, but it doesn't particularly look that way. It's still breaking and entering, but I get to hold up a contract and not go to jail. It's pretty fun. If you buy 10 keys and a couple pieces of steel, you get to go anywhere and get paid for it.

    3. Runaway Train (1985) - No one has ever done this for a reaction yet. It’s a fantastic film with amazing character development. Very gritty and emotional.
    4. Heat (1995) - Michael Mann’s crime masterpiece. Not to be missed.
