Speed and Twister are still my two favourite action flicks. They make you care about the characters and they don't take themselves too seriously.
Sorry, Dan and others, this is LONG, but please bear with me. You'll see why. Apologies in advance.
Graham Yost's father, mentioned early on, was the Canadian TV legend *ELWY YOST* who was famous for hosting "Saturday Night At The Movies." Basically, every week, Yost would introduce a double-bill of movie classics, usually coordinated around some theme or unifying element (a director, a star), with an extended intermission between the two films. That intermission was what made Yost different for the time: it consisted of interviews and discussions with the movies' surviving stars and crew, with critics, historians, whoever Elwy could get hold of.
For those of us from pre-internet days in Ontario, it was really the only public place to get an educational treatment of movies-- and on a public broadcaster, TVOntario, so we could see the films and the intermission segment WITHOUT COMMERCIALS. It was relatively unique for its time and, for many of us, it allowed us to experience everything from early detective serials to John Huston movies to Ealing comedies and so forth, especially when home video didn't exist or was in its infancy. And the whole thing was Elwy's baby, a show he created and hosted for decades.
Beyond the trivia of all this, though, I mention it all because you can still see Elwy's influence, indirect as it may be, all over the internet-- and specifically in things like Dan's "All My Movies" approach. Yost was one of the pioneers of this sort of approach and which filtered through other cinephiles over the decades and really found footing with channels like TMC and ever more so when platforms like RUclips came into being. In a way, you probably don't get guys like Dan Murrell doing what they do without Elwy Yost, even if they never heard of him or saw a second of his show.
And, all in all, I think that's pretty bloody great.
I loved the MTV movie awards back in the day. Was one of the highlights of the year, aside from the MTV music awards and the Much Music Video Awards.
I wasn't allowed to go to the theater to see Speed either, but when I finally got to watch it on VHS oh man did it live up to the hype. Still holds up as one of the best action movies ever.
I see Dan made no mention of "Speed 2: Cruise Control," but I want to bring up this aspect: In 1992, "Die Hard 3" was announced that it was going to be set on a cruise ship. However, after "Under Siege" came out, that film was scrapped. I've never seen it confirmed, but I've always wondered if Fox took the script for "Die Hard 3" and turned it into "Speed 2."
I'm laughing because I saw this in the theatre when it came out. Loved it. Probably saw it three times. Saw Wolf the following week, then saw Lion King. Summer 94 was a good movie summer. At the same time, I still love Speed today. I love the chemistry between Keanu and Sandra. I love Dennis Hopper. I love that it can still entertain me nearly 30 years later.
"What do you do Jack!"
Rip Dennis Hopper
One of my favorite movies btw.
Such a great villain. Amazing actor and artist!
When Speed came out movies and the music industry both were having a renaissance era going on. I loved it when MTV had the Awards along with a variety of programming such as Liquid TV.
Man, oh man, do I still love this movie! There's just something so special about action films from the early 90s, particularly the ones which were inspired by Die Hard, and they really haven't been the same since then. I think the overall craft does have a lot to do with that, as CGI was experimental and only used sparingly around the time. Filmmakers like Jan de Bont were more concerned about a relatively more believable scenario which required less suspension of disbelief. The minute your brain tells you, "Oh, that's obviously CGI," it does take you out of the movie more, and I admire filmmakers who aspire to shoot as much practical material as humanly possible. I was also 11 when Speed originally came out in theaters, but I'm happy to say it wound up being the first R-rated movie I was actually allowed to see on the big screen. In fact, it was a full family outing at the time, as I saw it with both my parents, a couple of their friends and my sister. I'm really glad I did get that chance too cause it's definitely one of those kinds of movies best experienced on the big screen with a full audience. Since then, I've seen it countless times and have owned quite a few copies on almost every home video format known to man since 1994. I'm glad to see Disney recently put out a 4K release that restores most if not all the legacy bonus features from the 2-disc DVD. I'll definitely have to pick it up again soon, for the umpteenth time, haha.
Speed 3 is great too. Hilarious episode of Father Ted (S3, Ep3). When Father Ted gets the local milkman Pat Mustard fired from his delivery job, Pat then threatens the priests by putting a bomb on his milk float which will go off if it goes under 4 mph.
Been waiting for this one, it's one of my favourite films. And it has one of the best sequels ever made!
(I am of course talking about the Father Ted episode 'Speed 3')
This is one of the first non-animated films I ever remember watching and it's still one of my favorites.
18:38 You can see the shadow of the highway segment that has been CGIed out.
Not a knock on Speed or the SFX or anything, looks amazing and fantastic film, great retrospective by Dan.
And I didn't spot it it was pointed out to me in an HBO doc.
I really love how you put things in context and tell the story of a movie, its casting, how it was perceived at the time. That's why your channel is so unique Dan, thank you for that : )
Just watched the masters of the universe all my movies (first one I'd ever watched) now I'm watching all of them. Very good channel.
On paper, this movie could sound ridiculous, boring, and cheesy. I could see how Jeff Daniels could think that at first. But when you add the music and the tension, it's amazing. They put together a great movie here.
Rewatched it last week and god what a thrill it is! 🥰
My mom watched this film 7 times in theaters when it came out. She kept missing the first five minutes and desperately wanted to see it.
Fun Fact: This is a remake of "The Bus that Couldn't Slow Down".
OK Homer
Ah, the good old days when that show was hilarious!
You stole my line
Its like Speed 2. Only with a bus instead of a boat.
Dan I just wanted to say your copyright claim interruption during The Simpsons clip made that gag so much funnier.
You can actually loop a tape, so it doesn't need to be rewound or played backwards, but it requires a physical cut and join to create. So as you mention Dan, not as simple or quick as they do in the movie. It also wouldn't result in the bag appearing, disappearing and appearing again so quickly (it would only transition from one to the other).
This video brought back so many memories- I actually collected proof of purchases to get a "Speed" poster in the mail. I still remember being so excited when it arrived. Yeah, I'm old, lol.
Til this day I crack up laughing when I or anyone else says "Oh Darn" 😂😂😂😂
I remember the HBO behind the scenes show going deep into how they created that bus jump sequence.
I thought I had seen Speed at the cinema hall, but now I realise my memories played a trick on me.
I unfortunately watched Speed 2 at the cinemas because I thought it would have Keanu and Sandra in it lol
I watched Speed on VHS. My cousin showed it to me, he also introduced me to Bill and Ted's Excellent Adventure when I was a kid
5:21 ...Did...Did Keanu just HEARTILY laugh there????!
My mom had no problem taking me to see this movie when I was 12, and I loved it. Still do. I love movies bc of her.
Got to say I love your deep dives and clips from special feature. This Director/Cinematographer has quite the resume.
Great video. Love this series, Dan!
Great discussion as always Dan.
Watched this the other day, for the first time in about 15 years, and I can honestly say it’s up there with T2.
Speed was my first R movie and I was 9 or 10 years old.
The hilarious part is whenever I watched Willow or Raiders of the Lost Ark, my parents wouldn't let me see the ending because it's too scary. 😂
Much like Dan, but two years older, my parents kept me away from R-rated movies...but they saw Speed that summer and loved it and felt I could handle it when it came out on VHS that fall. Was definitely my first R-rated movie I watched and thought it was great. Been a long time since I’ve seen it, but I suspect it’s still a lot of fun!
Also between this show and the Rewatchables, I feel like mid-90s Siskel and Ebert were pretty accurate on action (was I entertained always seemed to be the standard for action), but comedies was a complete guessing game.
You can't shoot the tires, the bad guy is watching and can literally blow the bus up whenever he wants, he even blows the steps up when the lady tries to get off.
Technically, the bomb isn’t armed until the bus gets to 50 mph - but it’s also possible Payne could override that and blow it up.
My favorite movie of all time! I’m getting this ready to listen on my drive to work tomorrow, but I just wanted to express my excitement for this deep dive into my favorite film. Thanks Dan!
MTV movie awards were a GOD DAMN EVENT!
Man I love watching your shows Dan, this show and the Charts and your live shows. They are so much fun and really shows exactly why you are the Schmoedown Champion. P.S. speaking as someone who is only a couple years younger than you.... yes the MTV movie Awards are NOT what they used to be!
Hey Dan, thank you for this series focusing on some of your favorites. I am learning a lot and checking out some films I've never seen before! Thank you for sharing your passion with the world.
God Speed is so good. One of several movies I watched almost 24/7 on VHS.
I remember when the MTV movie awards were good. Every few years I catch an ad and remember they are a thing. Its a real test if I actually tune in for a few minutes.
13:05-13:10
All my movies: The Prestige. Please Dan.
he' taller then Dennis Hopper now because Dennis Hopper lost his head and is now shorter. makes sense to me lol
But, he was already taller than Hopper...
@@wemartin12 Now he's extra taller lol
I remember I got "Speed 2-Disc Special Edition" dvd from the UK. It had all the behind the scenes and bonus material you needed from a movie.
Oooh looking forward to watching this later.
Love this series Dan! I too grew up watching most of the movies discussed (1982 baby over here). Brings back good memories. Keep it up!
Finally someone who says the name "Jan" right ;) THANK YOU ;D
Dan, the "all my movies" is a fun segment but the "why i love" segment was way better. It was also more successful. I think the few "why I love..." shows are the best and most successful content on your channel so far. Please bring it back because you're really good at communicating positivity. And your take on great movies is always insightful.
I hear you - keeping everything balanced has been incredibly difficult. This show alone requires hours of time per week to produce, and I'm obligated to produce one episode a week. I also love the Why I Love series and I am continuing to work on balancing my schedule to make enough time to do everything I want to do and you want to see.
I just love to hear you opinions about movies. But I think your at your best when you're excitedly extolling a movie that you're passionate about. And it resonates harder with your audience, I think. Just my 2 cents from a fan that wants you to succeed in everything you do
To each their own, but to me All My Movies has a more lasting potential on RUclips because it's more about facts and deep dives than fandom. I find the best movie critic content has at least 70% info 30% opinion. For example, I don't need someone to tell me about every single Speed sequence he likes, I know them, but I don't know about how the cast was hired, what the producer was doin before, or the budget of the movie at the time compared to other action movies.
I feel Dan has a following not just because he's good at reviewing things, but mostly because he's a "facts" guy, he leans on hard facts to explain something, like a movie historian, or sometimes an economics teacher ^^
Once again, a very entertaining and informative episode Dan! There a lot of BTS moments of “Speed” I didn’t know about. I really enjoy this series!
With Jack knowing there's a bomb on the bus it would have been a bad idea to shoot out the tires. Just a thought.
Pop quiz hotshot...it's 2am you need to be up in 5 hours but Can uploads this...what do you do...WHAT DO YOU DOOOOOO !!!!
I'm a simple man. I see Dan uploaded, I watch.
This series is so much fun. Long may it continue
Honestly this is such a cool series, I'm a sucker for good movie trivia and this is by far my favorite 90s action movie
runaway train is also awesome!
So glad I subscribe
“I’m taller” because he still has his head.
I actually saw Speed at Mann's Chinese Theatre, it finished and I walked out wondering wait, what happened? where's the subway car? The funny part is the unconstructed 101 freeway, Angelenos know that it was finished decades before the Metro that is running in the film. Also, Speed was one of those screenwriter drops like Die Hard with Die Hard on a Plane and Speed on a... The sequel was Speed-less.
When I saw that Runaway Train inspired Speed, I immediately thought of Unstoppable.
Great review, Dan. You can check the features/quality of different physical media on dvd-basen.
One of my all time favorite movies!
The artwork on that DVD case is gorgeous though! That's worth buying it alone.
Longtime fan here! Love all you do. Wanted to let you know since your a huge Hey Dude fan, like I am...I guess that dates us both... RUclipsr Pushing Up Roses did a fabulous Hey Dude retrospective on her channel. You'd probably love it.
Love Speed. Love this show too!
I LOVE this film, it introduced Keanu Reeves and Sandra Bullock to me and I've been a fan of them ever since. It's such a well paced film and even though it's ridiculous is as gripping as an action film can be.
Demolition Man into Speed. That was Prime Sandra Bullock time.
Hard to believe that this was initially intended to be Jeff Speakman's follow-up to THE PERFECT WEAPON before Paramount accidentally put it into turnaround and Fox claimed the Yost script.
I freak'in love this movie.
You make a mention of the edition over your shoulder being HD. Isn't it the 4K movie. LOVE this series and really look forward to your action films in the series😁👍
Nope, just a standard Blu Ray. I’ve heard the 4K looks great, though
I watched this movie as a kid because TNT and AMC just played it over and over and over again.
10:46 sounds just like the boss fight score from Metal Gear Solid
I thought the same thing. I’m betting this is one of Harry Gregson Williams’ inspirations since they were trying to lean into all of the 80s and 90s action tropes for MGS.
i have the very same story with SPEED than you...
i was 11 when it hit theatres.... i bought the vhs when it was out one year later... and my parents watched before i was allowed to see it... they loved it and signed off on it...
thanks for mentioning the score by mark mancina and for not mentioning that awful sequel...
Here's hoping we get Cliffhanger next month!
One of my favorite ‘90s action movies! I watched it all the time as a teen and hadn’t seen it in many years until last summer. It still holds up pretty well, and is delightfully cheesy as only early ‘90s action films can be.
@@keefriff99 yes! I found it on DVD about ten years ago and have not grown tired of it yet! Lithgow's inconsistent accent, the scenery, that opening, and of course Rooker vs Football ("Season's over, asshole!")...one of my all-time favorite Stallone movies
Dan is pretty flawless with the ads. I'm the kind of person that fast forwards through ads on RUclips videos, but Dan reads his ads live, so there's no visual detail I can use to know when the ad is over as I'm trying to fast forward. He's wearing the same shirt. There was no visual on the screen. There's no timer. I basically have to sit through it, or I'm going to miss his actual content.
"I'm going to make him an ad he can't refuse." 😅
Agreed
I just bought a 4K version of this. But all the special features were on the Blu Ray disc that came with it. And yet none of the menus look as cool as the DVD I had a long time ago and misplaced.
Listen to the Speed theme, then listen to the Metal Gear Solid theme.
Similar vibe/instrumentation, possibly as a result of MGS being inspired and influenced by several film blockbusters in various ways. The actual motifs/melody of MGS1 were likely plagiarized from Sviridov's "Winter Road" song. When Kojima found out about this he took it out of the franchise starting with MGS4 =/
I was thinkin the exact same thing, wonder how much they took from it... or the other way around
@@terencecaron2922 MGS was released 1998 so if anything Tappi Iwase used Speed, among other influences, as a basis for inspiration.
I greatly enjoyed this in the theater. I didn't recall that Joe Morton was in it. I became very aware of him since his heroic role in Terminator 2.
"I'm smarter than you!.........AGHHHHhhhh"
"Yea? Well I'm taller"
"Where's Payne?"
"....He lost his head."
I’m glad Dan acknowledged that line really doesn’t make any sense, because I’ve thought that ever since I first saw it.
I took it as he's taller than Payne, now.
@@kyleblackwell2253 or he was always taller and thus had better leverage and upper body strength in order to do what he did
@@kyleblackwell2253 Exactly I always took it that he was taller now.
In Lithuania this is called "The Very Fast Bus".
I Felt that MTV Movie Awards rant in my soul!......It's really not what it used to be......
I was 12 when Speed came out, and the version of that elevator story that was circulating my Connecticut school yard was that the guy who tried rescuing people that way had lost both his hands, so.....yeah, it definitely got around
I forgot how fun this movie is
Day 5 of asking Dan to watch One Piece: The side characters are interesting on their own, but when put with all the other characters, the group dynamic is worth all those episodes.
One of the best anime series out there. I doubt Dan will watch it though
I watched a tv edit with all the swearing cut out. Very enjoyable
Getting the 4K version of the movie.
I was hoping for a quick roast of Speed 2: Cruise Control lol
Such a terrible sequel!
Just a 2nd comment to ask : Do you know Oliver Harper, Dan ? He's a movie retrospective guy on youtube and I feel you 2 could have a great conversation on a classic movie (he reviews a lot of 90s action movies).
Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon next?
Jesus. Bob, what button did you push?
i never noticed this before but metal gear blatantly ripped off the theme music from speed
Fun fact: Jan de Bont was practically scalped by a lion during the filming of the bonkers Tippi Hedren film, Roar (1981).
They had crushes on eachother but were too afraid to say anything
The bus that couldn't slow down!
The film is a classic.
It took me the longest time to watch this movie, because I saw speed 2 first and well, that did not invite for the original
I watched in a movie theater, damn i am older than Dan!
DO BEVERLY HILLS COP!!! I HOPE YOU OWN IT.
What?! It’s Not Real?!? That Means Tony Stark it’s ALIVE!!
Producer Guy : Why didn't he just shoot the tires
Screenwriter Guy : So that movie can happen
Because shooting tires is a movie trope that doesn't usually work. Also it is very dangerous because the bullets bounce randomly and can hit pedestrians.
Hopper would have just seen people getting off the bus too early and blown it up.
@@DamonLovesVidya but Keanu doesn't know that.
@@amitverma4203 You are right, he doesn't know that. He doesn't know a lot. But what he does know is the guy WILL blow up a bus and has the ability to do it remotely. So he should follow the rules until he knows what he is dealing with.
If you want a movie that solely focusses on an elevator killing people, you should watch the Dutch movie 'De Lift'¹ by director Dick Maas. He's one of the biggest Dutch directors that never went to Hollywood. Another movie of him you might like is 'Amsterdamned'².
