Speed (1994 Jan de Bont)

An utterly extraordinary idea written by Graham Yost and no doubt earning a ton of cash. Entertaining tosh. Do not get on board Bus 2525, that's all I can say.

With an emphatic Keanu Reeves and an empathetic Sandra Bullock are Dennis Hopper, Jeff Daniels, Joe Morton, Alan Ruck, Glenn Plummer, Carlos Carrasco.

You have to laugh, and not just at the bits you're supposed to laugh at.


In the days when big Hollywood Explosions were real


How come the bus is going up? I don't think we're supposed to ask

Photographed by Andrzej Bartkowiak. Something of an accomplishment by editor John Wright (Die Hard with a Vengeance, The Hunt For Red October, Secretariat, from 1973) who must have had a mountain of footage to work through (Barbara Dunning assisted).
