The deaf girl was a Canadian actress named Christine Firkins, who is actually deaf. According to Wikipedia, she’s currently a teacher.
Fun fact about Keanu running after the bus: he actually and unintentionally cracked the door window.
8:14 - Interestingly enough, Alan Ruck's tourist character originally died later on when all the passengers get off the bus; he actually fell instead of getting helped up. Test audiences found that to be too sad, and he ended up surviving.
Not gonna lie, I watched the reaction of the first film only. I actually went and saw Speed 2 in the cinema, nobody can make me watch even a bit of it again. I'm sorry you had to go through that.
Oh no I wish there was a time machine where you could get your money back 🤣
I heard that #2 was a hot mess so I avoided it in the theater but still got hooked when it was on cable. I should ask for a refund from Comcast for time wasted. But same here-couldn’t possibly sit thru a rewatch.
I didn't see anyone else mention this.
Sandra Bullock got a Razzie Award for this film and showed up to receive it in person.
I love how offended Simones face is during the entire boat crashing into the port scene. Priceless
I love that Speed has no romantic moments but Keanu & Sandra still have insane chemistry. And then there's Speed 2 which keeps trying to force this relationship on us but Sandra and Jason might as well be a pair of wooden planks acting together.
If I remember right Keanu and Sandra both fell in love with the other during filming but were too shy/scared to say anything. There was an interview a couple of years ago that I heard about and it was apparenly obvious that they still felt something for each other.
CezL "No romantic moments" So my memory of them making out at the end is just "The Mandela Effect"?🤨
@@justindenney-hall5875 No bro, what he meant was that even the build up to the scene at the end had tension between them, even without being overtly flirtatious.
One of the (many) problems with Speed 2 is that we're introduced to Bullock and Patric and they're already in a relationship that we're supposed to care about, but we don't because we're told they're in love but we're given nothing to back that up - they should have started the film with them as strangers, but the film was already too long.
Plus we're still caring about Bullock and Reeves' relationship from Speed 1, so it's strange to suddenly be rooting for Bullock and this other guy.
People used to make fun of Keanu saying he wasn't that bright because of some of his roles, and "Whoa!", "Dude!", etc.
But he was smart enough to read the Speed 2 script and say "Nope!"
I like that Chris and Caroline kept having a laugh at "Pop quiz, hot shot!" from Dennis Hopper. It was the remembered line from the movie that I believe was used in the TV ads, I can't remember as it was nearly 30 years ago. I was 19 when this came out. It was a huge hit that further cemented Keanu Reeves as a major star and it just plain made Sandra a star.
Awesome reaction, guys! The roast of Speed 2 was very entertaining, so there is that. Speed (with Keanu) is always a fun watch. 🕊
GALAXY QUEST!!!
(Best to watch it after some Star Trek exposure, but it’s a great movie no matter what!)
The look on Simone's face after she says, "They just want to mess s*** up" is priceless--it's the ultimate look of disappointment your mom gives you when you've failed utterly at putting out the bare minimum effort.
After seeing Willem Dafoe’s ‘crazy smile’ face, I can understand why they’d cast him as the Green Goblin in the first Spider-Man movie.
The dialogue in the first Speed was written by Joss Whedon (Firefly, Buffy, Avengers etc.). He wasn't credited because the guild prioritizes plot over dialogue, and the writer of the story fought for sole credit.
Wow.
C4 is completely stable until you introduce a catalyst into the explosive. You can shoot it, hit it with a a truck, set it on fire and it won't detonate. In vietnam some soldiers used it as fuel for cooking and fires. You need to introduce a detonator which is a smaller charge that creates a powerful shockwave that detonates the larger block of more powerful explosive.
Yep! That's why they use it and not, say, TNT anymore.
@@bigdream_dreambig Or nitroglycerin, the easily offended Karen of explosives.
I love how much Simone is enjoying Keanu.
6:29, "The Bus That Couldn't Slow Down." Lol!!🤣🤦🤦🤦
Roger Ebert somehow liked Speed 2. About the deaf girl, kids crushing on adults were generally supposed to be cute & funny back then. I remember a family movie called Blank Check where a millionaire boy dates & eventually kisses an undercover FBI woman. As for the bus jump in the first film, Jack mentions an incline and they did use one behind the scenes, but I think the VFX department forgot to put it back in the shot.
@@DistractedArachnid Pretty sure Ebert liked the first two Alien films. Siskel didn't like the 2nd.
@@DistractedArachnid The earliest review I can find from him for that film is the Sneak Previews episode in which they recommended it.
@@DistractedArachnid Sounds like Siskel's review of the first sequel. People have noted that he's the one who's often bothered by gore. Quite frankly, he's the worse critic, imo. But it wouldn't surprise me if Ebert tried to bury some of his lesser-known blunders. Siskel said that he once suggested to do an episode in which they flip their thumbs for certain movies, but Ebert said that he has never switched his opinion on any movie. Yet there've been instances in which he tried to sneakily do so in their show, such as claiming that he liked Die Hard 3 just as much as the original.
I remember seeing Speed 2 in theaters as a kid. I remember myself and the audience laughing and having a fun time
Keanu and Sandra had crushes on one another during filming. Neither knew, neither made a move, been friends ever since.
ROTTEN TOMATOES
Speed: 94/100
Speed 2: 4/100
🤦♂️
Where's the last 2%?
@@godmagnus 🙈 It doesn't work that way. For two movies, the total is out of 200%. But if it _did_ work that way, I'd say maybe they're holding the last 2/100 in reserve for Speed 3! 😝 (Check online. There _have_ been recent rumors...)
Happy birthday, Simone! 🎉
After I saw this movie for the first time, I also wanted Keanu Reeves for my birthday.
OMG, your reactions to Speed 2 had my laughing so hard my sides hurt! Horrible movie! Great fun!
Speed 1 is a classic 90s action flick.
The jump is totally possible IF the bus could hit the 70mph mark depicted in the film. Finding a city bus that could go that fast proved impossible according to Mythbusters anyway!
I highly recommend the episode of Father Ted entitled “Speed 3”.
Speed is an Iconic movie that will stand the test of time. Speed 2 is a metaphoric train wreck of a film. In the first movie I felt bad for Sandra Bullock's character. In Speed 2, I just feel bad for Sandra having to go to the premier of this movie.
I always remember this movie because I have a funny, personal connection with it.
When I was a little kid, my cousin and I had a week-long vacation with my grandparents. During the trip, we got to pick our own movie at the theater and go to it on our own. My grandparents would pick me up after the movie was done. It felt like such a big deal at the time because it was the first time I could make an adult choice on my own.
I was really stumped because there were two big movies in the theater that I wanted to see and had to choose between - Speed 2 and Batman and Robin (the terrible Mr. Freeze one). I picked Batman and Robin.
I still laugh about it to this day because my choice was between two of the objectively worst movie options I could have had at the time.
Dennis Hopper is so great in this film.
Keanu was not in Speed 2 because he knew...
Ah, if you want a funnier version of Speed, watch Charlie Sheen and Kristy Swanson in "The Chase" (1994).
Fun fact: Both Keanu and Sandra had crushes on each other without knowing, after 25 years they tell it in ''the Elen show'' first Sandra, few days later Keanu watched that and admitted to Elen he also was into Sandra, but they never spoke before to tell each other :)
Thanks for speeding up speed two, It was the speediest speed two speeded.
William Defoe looked like he had so much fun just going crazy it’s like an early version of what would become green goblin.
Speed is a wonderful movie. only one scene in speed 2 was worth seeing. Tim Conway as the driving instructor. lol
Thank you for reacting! Speed is my all time favorite action movie
*I can't Believe Speed 1 only had a budget of $30 million. they did so much with that budget*
C4 explossive needs a detonator otherwise it won't explode thats why it replaced dynamite which is very unstable, it sweats nitro glycerine.
The funny part is the unfinished freeway and subway lines were true in L.A. and the time.
It's a little known piece of trivia that the script for Speed was given to a "script doctor" or two who were tasked with giving the movie more energy, fun, and humor. One of those script doctors was a young Joss Whedon (BtVS, Avengers 1&2, Toy Story, Firefly, Dr. Horrible, etc.) Listening to some scenes and dialogue you can really hear his contributions.
Happy Birthday Simone! I first saw Speed as the VHS offering of entertainment….while on a bus trip!
Happy Birthday Simone!!!!
I wish Sandra Bullock was wearing an Arizona shirt or something instead of a tiny emblem on her coat. Because when it shows the camera footage there's no way he could have seen that.
Demolition Man Rocks!
the director was contracted to make a sequel which he didn't want to do. keanu & sandra weren't, keanu said no but Sandra was offered lots of money to do it
LOL Simone wants a refund for part 2. She wishes she'd put her foot down, when she heard Keanu wasn't in it.
Happy Birthday Simone!
Some of the passengers on the boat were people stuck in the elevator in Speed 1.
This was my favourite movie score for a long while as a kid, so much suspense and action conveyed through notes.
Fun fact - Film crew just happened to stumble in on Willem in the bath with leaches and thought it would be perfect for the movie
Two films came out in the same year that had a fast moving boat crash into a dock - "Speed 2: Cruise Control" and "The Lost World Jurassic Park"
Happy Birthday Simone :)
You two NEED to watch Galaxy Quest! OMG!!! Great reaction, guys! And HAPPY BIRTHDAY, SIMONE!
HBD Simone.-Ernie Moore Jr.
Keanu and Sandra were both 29 when this was filmed, and damn, they both looked really good.
Well yeah they were 29 and famous…. Not 59 and homeless….😐
So while many of the action sequences in speed are obviously not plausible the bus jump was real. They obviously used a take off ramp and a stunt driver actually jumped the gap. Second if you look closely at the scene where Jack goes under the bus you can see that front bumper is moved way up from it's normal position to allow clearance for the cart and stunt man to get under the front of the bus.
8:25, crazy fact: Reeves did that stunt himself in one take!
I was thinking, even before you started watching the first Speed, that maybe the second one should be skipped and watch another Keanu, Sandra, Jeff Daniels or Dennis Hopper movie, because it’ll be much more pleasing (especially for a birthday celebration movie).
Yes, like "Something Wild" (1986) with Jeff Daniels, Melanie Griffith, & Ray Liotta. Pretty sure these two would enjoy that movie.
Both Sandra and Keanu had wild crushes on each other, but neither made a move. They only found out recently.
I can only envision 2 scenarios where making Speed 2 makes sense: A) Director and Stars get a Caribbean vacation out of it or B) money laundering. 🤣
Even William Dafoe couldn't able to save Speed 2.
Except that laugh at the end Willem dafoe only scenes are the best of the movie
keanu reeves actually did the under bus thing
Happy birthday Simone!! i would totally sing a song for in person.
If you do more Sandra bullock movies… I suggest “while you were sleeping.”
Only stayed for the original - nice job - and a sweet birthday gift for Simone
Great having company, hope they come back again.
Another wild movie is Sylvester Stallone in Daylight also Sylvester Stallone and John Lithgow in Cliffhanger
I will say the boat hitting the tanker and town looked fantastic, you could tell that's where the money went
I had the first Speed on VHS and DVD. The DVD had some behind-the-scenes stuff of how they did some of the effects.
My favourite was the bus jump because they literally got someone to ramp a bus at 50mph for the shot, then comp'd it into the final footage. The ramp they used reached 10 feet off the ground but even then the bus didn't cover anywhere near 50 feet. The front of the bus getting kicked into the air wasn't intentional.
Unsurprisingly, the bus wasn't drivable after that.
You know despite you guys having to suffer through that remarkably bland and lackluster sequel, I'm actually glad you did in a way. Not only was the reaction hilarious, but you got to see for yourself how bad it was. Especially compared to the first film.
Love your reaction
Those of us from the Caribbean pronounce it like her boyfriend, not like George.
I’ve been watching Speed since it came out and I never noticed this until this year: at the beginning, they say the only life taken by the terrorist was his own, but he killed the guy in the basement of the building. I don’t know how I never picked up on that.
He killed the woman who tried to jump off the bus after they got the wounded bus driver off the bus.
Jason Patrick is also the co-lead in the 80's vampire classic The Lost Boys. 100% must watch. It's all kinds of fun. Also the Scottish(?) first mate is in The Ghost and The Darkness. Which is a very good 90's movie about the lions of Tsavo.
Speed 2 is absolute shit, though. You guys are very right about that.
2:46 when the car pulls up there is already a skid mark on the pavement so take two.
15:39 How did the bus lunge upward? When I saw this in the movies I had to cover my mouth to keep from groaning and everybody else was like truly amazed. I'm like the nose of the bus literally lifted itself off the ground It was the stupidest thing I'd ever seen.😂😂
Yeah, Speed was awesome. I saw Speed 2 in the theater and that was the last time I watched it.
Someone asked Keanu if he was doing SPEED 2, and he said: "You mean, SPEEDIER? It's not, and I'm not." They got Sandra Bullock because the studio said if she did SPEED 2, they would give her the money to produce her own movie GUN SHY, with her, Liam Neeson and Oliver Platt. She had only been a producer on a couple of short films previously.
Wow they’re watching Speed! I’m gonna subscribe - oh also Speed 2, I gotta go.
They really don't make action films like this anymore.
(I'm still never watching the sequel)
C-4 is pretty stable without a detonator.
Another great bus film(sequence) is Swordfish(John travolta), epic!
FACE OFF (1997) for next reaction, another classic action movie.
Epic job on the thumbnail :)
If nothing else, on the boat, the LAPD is a pretty good metaphor for Americans abroad overall.
Speed was such a great movie. I had never been on the edge of my seat for so much of a movie in my life. The best reaction though was for 'Speednado 2: Still kind of/sort of about speed, just not quite as fast.'
Well at least your friend got to see a scantily clad Sandra Bullock in Speed 2 😅😅
William Defoe.... Yeah I did this one for the money 😂😂
I love Speed it's so good lol
Dennis Hopper is incredible lol
6:55 the glass breaking wasn't planned it just happened and they left it in lol
11:25 that gets everybody lol
12:10 they actually tested that on Mythbusters and it did work lol
15:20 they actually made a bus that did jump so it's as practical as possible lol
19:45 one of the biggest explosions ever lol
22:55 C4 is like Play Dough, if there's nothing connected to it that gives a big enough starting bang it won't go off, you could light it on fire and I'd be fine lol
For Speed 2 it was originally going to be a Die Hard movie where John and Holly take a cruise together. But that fell through
The director of Speed, Jan de Bont, was the cinematographer on an absolutely insane movie called Roar (1981). It's worth watching.. once.
Also Blue Velvet! for more Dennis Hopper.
one bad thing about reactors in general, they always make me feel old :(
10:26, WATCH GALAXY QUEST!!!!
Trivia: the bus has a code in the bottom left corner of the windscreen that says EX33. This is a nod to the fact it was a re-painted Toronto Transit Commission (TTC) bus that was used on Toronto's "Forest Hill 33" route. I know this because my old high school classmate bought the bus and drove it from Toronto to LA for the movie shoot.
As for Speed 2...yeah..watch for the dog
If you want an even BIGGER cinematic bomb, watch "Cutthroat Island"
I love Speed it was one of my favourite films when I was a teenager, but Speed 2 is one of only three films that I almost walked out on in the cinema (the others being Jurassic Park: The lost World and Batman & Robin) I have only watched Speed 2 about 5 times since 1997 and only when I'm with someone else who has not seen it and I cannot convince them that it is bad before hand (I hated starting a new relationship and my new partner had not seen it).
Damn Jurassic Park 2 isn't great, but far better than those two movies lol
.... I AM THE ONLY PERSON IN THE WORLD THAT LOVES BATMAN AND ROBIN
Fun Fact. They actually did the bus jump twice. The first time the bus landed too smoothly. The bridge gap was put in digitally.
I love Speed 2 Idc
FYI : Roger Ebert actually gave Speed 2 a good review, and took a lot of heat for it. He responded by holding a contest for fans to create a Speed 3. One of the stipulations of the contest was that the movie could only be five minutes long, so there was no theatrical release. ;)
The reason why the director Jan De Mont made Speed 2 Cruise Control because He said He had a nightmare that a cruise ship crashed into an island. Ironically this is the same director from the original 1st movie of Speed. If He never had that nightmare, Speed 2 wouldn't have existed.
Anyone have a big poster of Keanu for Simone? (ala Shawshank Redemption)
RIP Dennis Hopper.
After watching this I don't want to go into an elevator, or get on a bus or get on a train or even fly in a plane that might get hit by a bus.
I'll always remember someone wrote in a review of Speed that he could've just shot the wheels of the bus while he was running alongside it and the movie would be over. Still love it and the sequel was my introduction to the great Wilem Dafoe (saw it on VHS as a kid) so it has a special place in my heart. It's so bad that I like it for the laughs.
But the tires get punctured going to the airport and they didn't slow down....
Wouldn't work. Shooting out the tires would either do nothing (we see the tires get punctured at the airport) or it would cause the bus to crash, causing a multi-vehicle accident and many deaths.
