Apparently there was a bomb on the bus. That makes sense in hindsight, I was wondering why all the drama.

most realistic la plot point is that they keep almost dying because the city can’t finish transit and infrastructure projects on time

extra half star for the fact that keanu and sandra UNKNOWINGLY developed a crush on each other during filming, making the chemistry you see onscreen 100% real i don’t make the rules.

Watching this is just 2 straight hours of me being the guy on the bus who yells “this guy is nuts!!!!!” every time there’s an insane practical stunt. A completely logistically absurd premise—about Keanu’s selfless adrenaline junkie LAPD cop going head-to-head with Dennis Hopper’s maniacally “crazy not stupid” terrorist who is extremely horny for bombs/explosions and money (“don’t fuck with daddy!”) and has turned LAs freeways and public transit into a stage for his incredibly elaborate and sadistic game of public spectacle revenge—that has been cinematically realized about as convincingly and economically as possible by legendary cinematographer Jan de Bont (Die Hard, Basic Instinct, etc). His precise technical skill for clockwork craftsmanship and propulsive pace that he developed while working…

sandra bullock did not drive a bus rigged with a bomb to just be known as “the lady from bird box” on twitter

Some of the cleanest anamorphic 35mm action you’re likely to find, directed by maybe the greatest action photographer ever, and a textbook example of how pure craft and charisma can paper over the holes in even the most implausible script.

Yeah let’s move the giant cargo plane while there’s an active bomb threat on the tarmac. I hate LAX so much oh my god

Wonder what their sex was like after that day on the bus
-
A
I had no real expectations going into this, and certainly didn’t expect a 5 star action movie masterpiece. No bullshit. Barely any backstory. Just bombs and a bus. “THAT’S OUR SCUMBAG!”

G
Adrenaline if it was a movie

Keanu can’t act. Sandra can. Great action flick!

absolute banger of an action film. genuinely picked Speed to be a decent mind numbing action film while i ate my wawa hoagie and was thrown for a fucking whirlwind. there’s so so so So much to love about Speed but #1 thing has gotta be Bob fucking up that elevator button.

This is why no one uses public transportation in LA. Jokes aside, think this was Sandy B’s finest work and movie had a lot of scenes where I was screaming

O filme começa quebrando algumas aparentes formas convencionais do gênero, o que me encantou, como o enquadramento vivo que se retém em detalhes, dinamizando, ou a inserção de personagens e detalhes de forma sutil. Mas ao colocar o “pé” no ônibus essa despadronização se ausenta, voltando a um formato pouco mais convencional. Isso, pelo contrário, não o torna um filme ruim, ou limitado, pois mesmo me conquistando no começo por algo que vai embora, manteve a qualidade pelo simples, pela própria trama e narrativa, até o fim. ——– Ação em movimento sempre me pega, ainda mais em ambiente fechado.

The shot where the fire is reflecting in the metal of the phone booth is so awesome

for a movie called speed it sure took a long time to see my girl sandy bullock!!

Wait, hold on. Why did Jack say he’s taller? That doesn’t make any sense. Especially in that specific situation. If anything he should’ve said “I’m shorter.” Is that too emasculating? Okay fine. Then maybe say, “I’m lower.” I don’t know, but that of all things really through me for a loop

How the fuck did this work?

Very public transit positive movie!

Was it pointless to crash that bus into a cargo plane? Yes! Did the explosion look cool in the scene? Fuck yeah!! ⭐️⭐️⭐️

This is the second bravest thing an American has ever done on a bus
-
M
A film with endless ingenuity and zero pee breaks. I mean that in the best possible way. Perhaps my favorite Keanu.

What will you do next, Jonathan

Shocked by this only having a 3.7 on Letterboxd. Some of yall need to open your hearts to things just being fucking awesome and nothing more. Peak Keanu and Bullock (even tho they both have like 5 peaks). And Jan de Bont having one of the sickest careers anyone could have, flops and all.

seems like the perfect movie for keanu reeves

Really enjoyed it until they got off the bus and then it just went downhill
-
E
Can’t hate on a Keanu Reeves action movie , villain was bit overrated tho
-
M
Fun silly 90s action directed by one of the finest action cinematographers from that era Jan De Bont, with great Dennis Hopper and Sandra Bullock performances. Unfortunately, I can’t say the same about Keanu – he just kinda yells every line.

Some of the funniest line readings of any action movie I’ve ever seen and I mean that in the best possible way. When their car shows up Dukes of Hazzard style off a hard cut from a hostage situation, I laughed out loud. By far one of the most fun summer action movies to rewatch

Poor people are crazy, jack, im eccentric

“‘Die Hard’ on a bus”! This movie checks all the boxes for me. Practical action movie making at its finest!

they just don’t make movies like this anymore

The perfect action movie.

“Pop quiz, hotshot. There’s a bomb on a bus. Once the bus goes 50 miles an hour, the bomb is armed. If it drops below 50, it blows up. What do you do? What do you do?” An action movie that feels like the last of its time with so many incredible stunts. It’s why it continues to stand the test of time as one of the best action movies put to screen. It’s also incredibly well paced, has great chemistry between its leads in Keanu Reeves and Sandra Bullock and a memorable villain performance from Dennis Hooper. 97/100

Color me entertained

Real because even if I was in a bomb/hostage situation I would be smiling at the hot cop the whole time too
-
D
One of those action movies that’s laughably ridiculous but also strangely cool and undeniably entertaining

4K Blu Ray One of the best looking and sounding movies ever made. Jan De Bont is one crazy s.o.b. When I saw “Carlos Carrasco” in the credits, I thought I was about to see the Cleveland Indians pitcher in his youth but no that would’ve been silly.

Keanu + Sandra, need I say more?

Top tier hotel movie. Absolutely wild to think about this movie opening in 1994 ONE WEEK before the whole OJ thing…

Good, but there just so happened to be another LA highway chase on the OPENING WEEK of this movie that I prefer lol

Over 30 years later and still as thrilling as ever! Sandra Bullock putting in a generational female lead performance, combining wit and charm that we rarely see (Inde Navarrette obvious modern-day recasting couch).

Poor people are crazy. I’m eccentric! This movie is such a fucking banger. I could turn this movie on 3/4 of the way through and it would still be a fun watch. Dennis Hopper is a menace and Sandra Bullock is my 90’s movie crush
-
A
yeah i think i’d also make out with keanu reeves after escaping death and terrorism multiple times
-
G
All timer action film. This clearly takes place in an offshoot timeline in which Wyld Stallyns never took off and Ted became a police officer like his dad, and after the loss of his dad’s ferrari Cameron from Ferris Buelller’s day off was forced to take the bus.

We used to make fucking MOVIES, man

If I watched this movie like I watch most movies, with the lights off, no distractions, and maximum focus…I would have been wildly disappointed. Thankfully I watched it while playing monopoly with three friends. Might be the perfect movie for that exact scenario. I don’t really need to hear the dialogue, I don’t really care about character motivations, I just wanna look up every now and then and see if the bus has exploded or not. Fun, dumb, and very 90s.

Awful terrible no good

highkey copaganda like ohhhhh the only guy smart enough to build all these crazy bombs is an ex cop… sure buddy. and the lapd is definitely smart enough to catch this guy. yeah the concept is so silly but somehow it keeps you invested and fully buying into it 90% of the time. the last like ten minutes were a liiiiittle over the top though, like they really decapitated the bad guy like that hahaha, and what even was that…

In my senior year of high school my best friend and I were the emcees for our school’s homecoming pep rally where the court was presented and the king and queen were crowned. We’d been corralling popular kids for three weeks and when we finally received their interview answers back one guy had answered every single one of the 12+ questions with something that related to Speed (1994). This goes out to that guy. In other news, Sandra Bullock was spectacular in this.

The plot has more holes than a spaghetti strainer. But, the narrative arc is compelling and I was into it. The set pieces are well-executed (albeit stretching credulity), and look pretty good considering when this was made. The ending is also pretty satisfying. The final sequence had the bones of something more cynical and, for a second, I thought they were heading in that direction. That would’ve definitely been more my speed, but where they landed felt tonally consistent and,…

It’s just an action movie with hot ass Keanu. Explosions galore and a good premise. Don’t think I’ll watch this again soon.

Keanu Reeves is cool asf

Imagine if at the end of the bad dream that is the short third act of this movie, Jack and Annie get out of the wreckage of train #13 and just walk into the screening of 2001: A Space Odyssey at the Chinese
-

Yeah the writing could’ve been better, but MAN the direction had my heart racing, the acting was so good (especially from Dennis Hopper), and I’m amazed at how they did a lot of these VFX without CGI.

Peak 90s action flick. Also the height of “they don’t make em like they used to”. Marshall loved it too. Took us three days to watch it all.

i fucking hate keanu reeves character

F
Good chance this is my favorite action movie. Sandra bullock is so hot and I love her so much.
-
E
This movie is just a vehicle #punintended for saying “Keanu has never looked better” every five minutes until you or the people on the bus die
-
J
That was sick as hell. I always enjoy movies with small setting so an action movie with Keanu Reeves on a bus is perfect. Kinda wish they skipped the final sequence. A lot of fun though

this was the most ridiculously amazing movie I have ever watched it is a beautiful Saturday morning movie I was watching with my mom and grandma and literally all of us kept gasping at the fucking special effects and craziness that kept going like this was actually insanely good I’m not gonna lie I loved how everything kept getting crazier but they kind of lost me with the train ending but other than that wow I will add that I…

This movie is so bad, and so good.

This movie is exhilarating. One of the best executed action movies ever.

A movie made up exclusively of one-liners and explosions. Young keanu reaves also looks strikingly like vinny from jersey shore. Just an amazing time

holy shit this was intense — but good

Hopper used perfectly, Bullock doing yeoman’s work to make even half of this believable. Joe Morton and Jeff Daniels more vital than I remembered, the elevator opening is maybe better than all the bus stuff. Keanu has such unique line readings, would be hard pressed to call it a good performance but it would be an otherwise forgettable role without his danish by way of Canada pronunciation of words, and always the ones you never suspect. This movie ends when the bus explodes, everything beyond that is redundant. Like the last two thirds of Dostoevsky’s The Idiot.

Not bad nothing else to say, okay lot with the bus and the bomb

E
On rewatch I noticed that Keanu doesn’t get on to the bus till the 40 minute mark which is crazy because it’s still breakneck action all the way up to that.

one of THE most quotable movies i’ve ever seen. this movie is the gold standard for so had it’s good again.
