Speed
from Great Bad Movies
A chef’s kiss homage to Die Hard and we are all better for it. The freeway wasn’t finished, so they jumped the bus. The subway track wasn’t finished, so they jumped the track. The script WAS finished, but they threw out the first act. There are 100 more reasons why this is basically a perfect film, and Greg and Joe list them all. Keanu Reeves and Sandra Bullock begin their amazing chemistry that continues through their careers, Dennis Hopper is a great bad guy (or not, according to Greg), sunsets somehow happen inside an elevator, glorious descriptions of explosions… This is basically just a lovefest for one of the greatest “Die Hard in a…” movies ever. (Meta drinking game, take a sip every time Joe says “spectacular” or Greg discusses helicopters.) There will be a pop quiz at the end of the episode so start studying. #speed #keanureeves #sandrabullock #bombonabus #diehardina #spectacular #helicopter
