Am I the only person who thinks Speed is just bad? (1 Viewer)

[Artur Meinild]

I agree with you Theo - I don't care for Speed either...

 

[Scott Van Dyke]

I love Speed. It was non-stop.
Speaking of impossible stunts, and at the risk of going off-topic, how about the part in Mission Impossible where Cruise jumps from the helicopter to the back of the train while in a tunnel, as the chopper explodes and makes it, unharmed! That seen will never leave my mind. It pisses me off right now!

Well I can forgive some scenes. But not a bus ramping straight up in the air when there is no ramp. I'm glad that doesn't happen when I'm just driving down the street.

When Aziz rides the motorcycle off the roof of the hotel and lands in the pool on top of the building across the street.

ah right, I was thinking to myself (now thats definitley an Irish saying ) "but the limo jumped off the bridge and into the water".
Ok i'll give you that one.

I liked Eddie Izzard's version of Speed better.

 

[Steve Christou]

Speed... gooood. Speed 2... baaaad.
Speed was the best movie about a bomb on a bus driven by Sandra Bullock
ever made.

I liked Eddie Izzard's version of Speed better

SPEED is an entertaining film, full of breathtaking stunts, explosions, chases and other spectacular actions.

Unfortunately, those qualities seem to wear off on the second viewing, so IMO, it doesn't have a high re-watchability factor than other action genre classics like DIE HARD, PREDATOR, ALIENS, or LETHAL WEAPON.

I couldn't watch SPEED again.

Running from the nightmare
In the middle of the road
Hell's no place for sleeping
In a world beyond control
Caught in the headlights
Coming after you
When I woke up this morning
I had to do what I gotta do
Blast me to Heaven for loving you
Blast me to Heaven for loving you
Speed
Give me what I need
Yeah
White lightning
Let's speed, on speed
On wheels, on wheels
Speed
Oh, let it bleed
Yeah
Greased lightning
Let's speed, on speed
On wheels, on wheels
I've seen a train full of pain
On the edge of overload
We're in Heaven, baby
You are gonna implode
I've got these crazy feelings
That I can't explain
I've gotta save you baby
Or I'll die in vain
Blast me to Heaven for loving you
I said blast me to Heaven just for loving you
I said speed
Give me what I need
Yeah
White lightning
Let's speed, on speed
On wheels, on wheels
Speed
Oh, let it bleed
Yeah
Greased lightning
Let's speed, on speed
On wheels, on wheels
Blast me to Heaven for loving you
I said blast me to Heaven for loving you
Now I'm rushing on the run, yeah
I wanna have me some fun
I'll speed
Give me what I need
Oh, set me free
Let's speed
On wheels, on wheels, on wheels
Said speed
Oh, let it bleed
Yeah
White lightning
Let's speed, on speed
On wheels, on wheels
Com'on
I said speed, speed
Give me what I need
I said speed, speed
Give me what I need
Alright
Ok, maybe Speed by Billy Idol isn't all that great, but the film sure is.
Also, the DVD has the best commentary track EVER! Graham Yost and Mark Gordon are friggin' hilarious. I had a friend over who doesn't like the film that much, so I put on the commentary track. The next day he bought the DVD himself.

I love Speed...I love the score especially and thought Reeves was fine in it.

Predator also owns!
