A 1994 American action thriller film directed by Jan de Bont, starring Keanu Reeves, Dennis Hopper, and Sandra Bullock.Reeves plays Jack Traven, a police officer in pursuit of Mad Bomber Howard Payne (Hopper). As the film opens, Payne has blown the cables off a packed elevator car, and threatens to blow the emergency brakes unless he gets a ransom. Jack foils the scheme, but Payne manages to escape by faking his own suicide. A few weeks later, Jack's bus-driver friend boards his bus to start his daily route, and it promptly explodes, killing him. A nearby pay phone starts ringing, and when Jack answers it he discovers the caller is Payne. Turns out the first bombing was just to get Jack's attention; there's another bus with a bomb on it, and the same fate will befall those aboard if Payne doesn't get his original ransom.Caught in the middle is Annie Porter (Bullock, in her Star-Making Role) as a passenger/hostage/love interest on the bus. Payne has, as the quote above indicates, placed a bomb on the bus she's riding. If the bus drops below 50 MPH... well, you get the idea. So, the bus must careen wildly through a city notorious for its traffic congestion, and if anyone attempts to leave the bus (under their own power or otherwise)... boom.One final complication: When Jack manages to get aboard the bus and announces he's a cop, there's a street gangster on board who wrongly assumes Jack's after him and draws a gun. The gun goes off, wounding the bus driver. It's then up to Annie to take the wheel and keep the bus moving above 50 MPH. Good thing she's a skilled driver... No, wait, she's a horrendous driver with a revoked license.Noted for being very tense (Jack has to first board the bus before he can warn the passengers, which nearly causes the very explosion he's attempting to prevent), its sharp, witty dialogue (written in large part by an uncredited Joss Whedon), and patently ridiculous yet exciting plot points and setpieces (at one point, the bus jumps a 50-foot gap in the road) which all helped contribute to its reputation as one of the best action films of the '90s. Also has a lesser-known sequel, Speed 2: Cruise Control (1997), which again starred Sandra Bullock (this time in the primary role), and was widely panned for being very derivative of the original (re: bomb, vehicle, frazzled brunette, attractive love interest, etc.). A Speed 3 also exists.......as a Father Ted episode with the bomb being on a milkfloat.

The Wildcats: Annie wears a jacket with the University of Arizona Wildcats logo on it, which Payne makes reference to in one conversation with Jack over the phone. Payne calling her "wildcat" tips Jack off that Payne has access to a live security camera inside the bus and can see what's going on inside there, which complicates the plan to blind him from their planned evacuation of the bus of all its passengers at the airport.

The Main Characters Do Everything
 Speed / int_1c9537cd
comment
The Main Characters Do Everything: When Jack gets off the bus at the airport, he goes under the bus on a speeding cart to look at and try to disarm the bomb, not any of the other present policemen. Granted, he could have been the only bomb expert there, but the LAPD had had plenty of time to pool other resources on the highway and at the airport. Then again, it's entirely possible he was the only officer crazy enough to volunteer to slide underneath a moving bus with a bomb attached to it. Also, when they figure out Payne's identity, Harry leads the S.W.A.T. team to his house despite still recovering from his gunshot wound.

Villain Ball: Payne's sole motivation is getting the money he feels he deserves after losing his pension, but he undermines himself with the bus bomb by leaving fairly obvious clues for the cops to work out his identity, meaning that they'd be on his tail forever even if he'd gotten paid. This is somewhat justified in that Payne is insane to begin with, and now he has a personal vendetta against Jack and Harry for foiling his first plot, which he had spent years planning and contained no such hints.

Failsafe Failure: Subverted twice and they're both Payne's fault: The failsafes on the elevator work as expected, but Payne has rigged those to explode, too, so he would be able to drop the elevator whenever he wants. Payne machine-gunning the metro train's conductor also shoots up most of the controls, including the brakes and (apparently, and quite ironically) the deadman's switch.

Chekhov's Gun: The detonator with the "dead man's handle". Harry telling Jack that after another thirty years of police work, he'll get a tiny pension and a cheap gold watch. The gold watch on the bus bomb. When Jack is on top of the subway train, he has to noisily move from an oncoming tunnel light. However, this results in Payne finding out his whereabouts. A few minutes later, after his money is tainted by the paint bomb, Payne ascends to the top of the train and fights Jack . During the fight, Jack notices another tunnel light heading their way, so he pushes up Payne's head, resulting in the light beheading him. Payne referring to Annie as "the wildcat behind the wheel"; Jack realizes there's a camera on-board when he sees Annie's jacket that sports the logo of the University of Arizona, home of the Wildcats.

Ironic Echo: The "pop quiz" line from Harry is repeated twice by Payne to Jack. Jack later attempts to use it on Payne as one, but it backfires badly when it turns out he's actually talking to Annie with a bomb strapped to her. Payne then repeats the "Shoot the hostage" line to Jack by telling him "I don't think you can shoot her."

Extremely Short Timespan: Most of the first act of the film (the elevator job) takes place over the course of two hours. Immediately after the elevator job, there's a Time Skip of an unspecified length to the day the police receive their medals for the elevator job. The second act begins the following morning, and the rest of the film takes place over about four hours.

Ramming Always Works
 Speed / int_3114c1e5
comment
Ramming Always Works: Jack and Annie somehow survive an impending crash on a runaway subway car by making it faster. Speeding up made it jump the tracks on a turn so it was running for awhile unpowered. While a bit of a stretch, this could be considered preferable to staying on the tracks (and being powered the whole time) and crashing into a dead end wall that is more fortified. The near half-dozen times Annie has to plough through traffic in order to maintain speed.

Hollywood Healing: Though Harry is seen using a crutch to get around in the aftermath of Jack shooting him in the leg, by the time the main plot of the film kicks off, he's healed completely enough to be part of a SWAT team assault. The time between this and his wounding is unspecified, but not hinted to be more than a few weeks/months at best.

Twenty minutes later, he blows up a bus with a driver on board for no better reason than to get Jack's attention. Payne later proves his extremity by killing the nervous Helen, after letting the wounded bus driver off the bus. Payne deliberately left clues in the design of the bus bomb so the cops would figure out his identity, track down his house, and be blown up by the trap he left there.

Surprisingly Realistic Outcome
 Speed / int_3ed23024
comment
Surprisingly Realistic Outcome: Despite all of Payne's advantages in rigging the perfect bombs, he is still beatable because there are glaring omissions in his grand scheme where he lacks foresight. Beyond Payne's knowledge of LAPD procedures, Payne's scheme is sketchy beyond the point where the money is in his possession as he's heavily out for revenue against the LAPD. Payne gets outsmarted in areas outside of his expertise ultimately leading to his downfall... When Payne thinks he's going to get away with his train plot and attempts to bribe Jack with some of the ransom, he triggers a dye pack that bursts and stains the money, ruining it. Obviously the LAPD weren't going to hand over all that money without attempting to render it useless, even if Payne did manage to escape them.

comment
Fear-Induced Idiocy: Played for Drama. Helen is clearly on edge the entire time she's on the bus, and can't think about anything but getting off. Once she reaches towards the steps, the SWAT team realizes Payne is either going to detonate the bomb if she turns around, killing everyone, or detonate it ASAP where she was standing, so they encourage her to keep her feet where they are. It doesn't save her.

Smug Snake: Payne. He thinks he's always one step ahead. But then he gets so overconfident that he fails to monitor his screen when one minute of footage is being looped over and over in place of what's actually happening. And then later, he climbs on top of a subway train in blind rage, and gets beheaded as a result. He also doesn't seem to consider the possibility that maybe the police aren't going to just give him millions of dollars without rigging a trap to try and trace it / him, such as the dye pack bomb that blows in his face and stains his ransom money. Of course, Payne is just a ex-Bomb Squad member whose only real training was in how to disarm bombs. In fact, it's only the bomb part of his plan that goes off without a hitch, while everything else in his plan falls apart rather quickly.

Crazy-Prepared: Payne is prepared for virtually every contingency, something Jack catches on to. When he diverts to the airport so Payne won't be able to monitor them through the news, he refuses to evacuate the bus because he's sure Payne has accounted for that possibility and will know if they try.

Nobody Poops: Averted. Payne is shown coming out of his bathroom, which is important because it keeps him from noticing the looped camera feed on the bus when it's executed. Played straight on the bus. It would be a little excessive to think no one had to pee. Though given the short time frame and adrenaline, it's reasonable to assume they wouldn't need to or would put it out of mind if they did.

Guilt Complex: A mild case where Annie confesses that she was profoundly relieved when a panicking woman was killed by a secondary bomb when she tried to disembark instead of her, thinking for a split second that was the primary bomb that could have killed them all. Jack reassures her that reaction is a perfectly acceptable human response to such an extreme situation and she has nothing to feel guilty about.

Token Romance: Triple subverted, and arguably deconstructed, over the course of the two films. Annie initially insists that they are a bad idea, as "relationships based on intense circumstances never work out". At the end of the film, Jack throws this back in her face as a Meaningful Echo, to which she replies "I guess we'll have to base it on sex then", and they decide to pursue the relationship anyway. But the start of the second film reveals that the relationship didn't work out, just as Annie initially predicted.

Idiot Ball
 Speed / int_7286e96d
comment
Idiot Ball: Jack only goes for his badge to show the driver after the bus has already begun to speed up and drive away. If he'd grabbed it and shown it to the driver first, the bus would have likely stopped. Jack has negotiated with Payne to take the injured bus driver off the bus. Once he's gone, Helen sneaks by and also tries to leave, causing Payne to blow the steps and send her under the wheels. This isn't necessarily stupid on Helen's part; she's old and in the middle of a nervous breakdown. It is stupid on the part of the cops, who have been told matter of fact that Payne will blow up the bus if anyone gets off except for the driver they've been authorized to take, yet encourage her rather than immediately pulling away to prevent it. Payne referring to Annie as a "wildcat" leads to Jack realizing he has a camera on the bus. This one can be chalked up to pure arrogance. The cops neglecting to turn the tracker in the money on as soon as it's in place (one of the squad members assumes that there's no way Payne can get to the money with all the eyes on it). The writers themselves call this one out in the commentary. Payne is so ecstatic over finally having his bag of money that he neglects to consider that it has been rigged with a dye pack. The dye pack exploding takes him completely by surprise, leading to him wasting all his ammo trying to shoot Jack, then going atop the moving train to confront him. He dies from head decapitation when Jack stays calm and collected and outsmarts him by holding his head up. Even if Payne manages to escape with the money, it isn't clear what Payne's plans are after his ill-gotten payday. Payne would have to deal with being on the FBI's Most Wanted list and would hardly be able to rest dealing with being one of the most wanted fugitives in the nation. True, Payne has a major chip on his shoulder against the LAPD but his longterm plans appear sketchy at best.

From Bad to Worse: The Movie;Jack is unable to board the bus before it gets on the freeway; he's panicking so much that he breaks the glass door running alongside it, scaring the driver, who takes Annie's advice and drives away before he gets a look at Jack's badge.Jack is able to Flashed-Badge Hijack a fast car, but is unable to catch the bus before it goes over fifty, arming the bomb.He is able to inform the driver about the bomb via a written message that luckily flies against the window long enough to read it, but he then has jump on board - all without letting the bus drop below fifty.The bus driver is injured by an armed and unstable passenger, and the only other driver available is a woman riding due to a suspended license... for speeding.The bus is forced into a crowded street, where dodging pedestrians Too Dumb to Live (crossing right after a speeding police escort?!) puts them in increasing danger of triggering the bomb or tipping over on hairpin turns.Hope Spot: The bus finds a finished but unopened highway, enabling the bus driver to be taken off the bus - but one of the passengers attempts to leave and is killed by Payne.The highway is not in fact finished, forcing them to jump a fifty-foot gap.Hope Spot #2: Jack gets the bus to LAX, where it is able to circle the runways freely. Then things go completely wrong; Jack ruptures the fuel tank trying to disarm the bomb and Harry is killed in trap set by Payne....then Jack realizes that Payne is monitoring the interior of the bus by camera, which enables them to evacuate the bus via Camera Spoofing. Payne isn't even aware when the bus blows up, enabling them to attempt to capture him at the ransom dropoff....and then Payne realizes that the bus blew up, kidnaps Annie, and wires her with explosives to use her to collect the ransom.Jack pursues Payne and Annie onto a subway car, suckers him onto the roof, then finally decapitates him with a signal light.Finally, he reunites with Annie, only to find she's still handcuffed to a subway pole because Payne was carrying the key. And they're running out of track. And the brakes are broken. Jesus.

Nice Job Breaking It, Hero: Payne's entire motivation is that the police stiffed him out the pension he deserved and gave him a pathetic retirement gift, despite years of dedicated service and risking his life daily as a member of the bomb squad. To be fair, his feelings are understandable, though it doesn't excuse everything he's done for the money. When the police and a news crew are recording footage from the bus to loop and trick Payne, Jack tells the passengers that they need to sit very still with no big movements. Despite that, one of the passengers drops her purse, which shows up on the loop; even worse, she's sitting right behind Jack and Annie so it's quite noticeable. Payne eventually spots it and realises he's been tricked, the bus didn't blow up the hostages and the LAPD are on his trail. While examining the bomb under the bus, Jack almost gets crushed and is forced to stick his screwdriver into something so that he can hang on. Unfortunately, that something happens to be the fuel tank. Standard procedure as it may be, sneaking a paint bomb into Payne's sack full of cash doesn't do Jack any favors when Payne accidentally triggers it, sending him into a violent Villainous Breakdown, though one could argue that putting Payne into berserker mode means he can no longer out-think Jack, which ultimately results in his death by low clearance. A minor one. On the freeway when Jack's "bomb on bus" note flies to the bus driver, seeing it scared him into slowing down and nearly setting off the bomb.

Subverted with Sam, who is shot but presumably survives. However, it does provide the perfect excuse to get him off the bus and let Annie take over. Played straight at the end, when Payne not only kills the train conductor, no one in the crowd even notices his body.

Despite all of Payne's advantages in rigging the perfect bombs, he is still beatable because there are glaring omissions in his grand scheme where he lacks foresight. Beyond Payne's knowledge of LAPD procedures, Payne's scheme is sketchy beyond the point where the money is in his possession as he's heavily out for revenue against the LAPD. Payne gets outsmarted in areas outside of his expertise ultimately leading to his downfall...

Action Insurance Gag: Jack needs to get onto the bus, and, having commandeered a car, he decides to jump from the car to the bus, but the car's door is in the way. Jack asks the owner if his car is insured, to which he answers in the affirmative, whereupon Jack brake-checks the bus with the door open, breaking the door off. The owner is suitably upset.

 Speed / int_8a8f37f9
comment
Artistic License – Law Enforcement: Realistically, a single police officer wouldn't be pursuing the likes of Payne directly without having actual reinforcements in the event that a terrorist does something beyond one police officer's control. Here, Jack, the protagonist, is one single police officer and is the only one making a direct pursuit of the terrorist in question, while his colleagues operate in the background, and in turn, Payne constantly has the advantage over him as a result. Justified in the sense that Payne makes sure It's Personal for Jack by targeting him directly, but not quite enough for it to justify the unrealistic situation itself.

Didn't Think This Through: Harry when he tells Jack to shoot him while Payne is using him as a Human Shield. While it does cause Payne to drop him, Harry isn't too happy about being shot and lets Jack know it. Also Payne's Evil Plan isn't very well thought-out. He deliberately lets Jack on the bus just to fuck with him, thus giving Jack the opportunity to foil his plans. And even without Jack's involvement, there's no way the LAPD would fork over that much cash without a way to trace it and/or ruin it, e.g. the tracking device and dye bomb.

Crazy Enough to Work: The ultimate plan to get the hostages off the bus involves looping the camera footage, keeping the accelerator pedal down with a metal pole (and the wheel steady with rope) and hope to hell Payne doesn't notices (he does, but thankfully by then the hostages are out and the bomb went boom someplace relatively safe).

News Monopoly: Every single news outlet is covering the story of the speeding bus, to the point that they're interfering with public safety. This leads to the decision to route the bus to an airport. Truth in Television for Los Angeles police chases. Later subverted in that the media plays a significant part in resolving the matter. The news teams agree to stop filming from the airport boundaries, and one crew creates the looping footage on police request.

 Speed / int_9d12bbc1
comment
Foreshadowing: When Jack warns Payne that there will be fifty cops waiting for him in the basement should he try to escape, Payne notes that this is "standard flanking deployment". His familiarity with SWAT procedure is an early clue that he's a retired cop. When Jack explains to Annie that they are being held hostage by a guy who just wants money, she doesn't buy it as this situation is a lot of trouble to set up just for money. She is correct because It's Personal for Howard Payne who wants revenge for being retired from Atlanta PD bomb squad after a bomb injured him and he felt wronged by the retirement funds he received. Howard wants to humiliate the LAPD one way or another. Helen's anxiety which ultimately leads to her death is established earlier in a conversation with Annie, when she says she gets tense driving on the freeway, hence why she takes the bus. At one point, Payne mockingly tells Jack to remember that he's "always on top of him". Jack later discovers that Payne can see them through a wireless camera installed on top of the bus driver's mirror.

Cut Lex Luthor a Check

Cut Lex Luthor a Check: Despite losing a thumb and retiring early on disability, Howard Payne's injury clearly doesn't affect his ability to build bombs or use firearms. With his knowledge of bombs, he could've found legal work as a consultant or an instructor for police departments and Governments throughout the world. Or as a technical consultant for the movie industry. Given the incredible build quality he puts into his bombs, he could've built a business making bespoke (and legal) electronic devices. Granted he wouldn't have gotten his $3-million quickly, but he could've made a comfortable living and retired with substantial retirement savings.

Oh, Crap!: At least three different times, usually in response to discovering a bomb. One interesting one comes at the end when Payne sees the oncoming signal light. Jack drops a Precision F-Strike when he gets a good look at the bomb on the bus. For good reason as "There's enough C4 on this thing to blow a hole in the world." Jack and Annie realizing they have to make a hard right at 50+ mph Annie has a HUGE one when she thinks that she's run over a baby. Turns out the stroller was full of cans. Harry has a slightly more subtle one seconds before he and his SWAT team are blown away by Payne's booby-trapped house.

Unfortunately, the bomber has thought of those.

Too Dumb to Live: It is hard to comprehend the kind of panic and fear a bystander must feel in that situation, but if an LAPD officer tells you that A) there's a bomb on the bus but also B) no one can leave, there's probably a good reason why. Predictably, a scared lady tries to get off onto a LAPD safety car, and is killed by one of Payne's booby traps.

Dead Man's Switch: Payne uses this on his vest bomb.

Ironically, the one on the subway does not work after Payne machine-guns the panel while killing the driver.

Taking You with Me: Payne threatens to detonate the suicide vest he's strapped to Annie at several points, even though it would surely catch him in the blast, in order to make Jack back off or not put up as much as a fight as he could. Payne is just crazy enough that Jack takes the threat seriously, so he has to figure out how to take Payne out without him dropping the Dead Man's Switch he's holding.

"Eureka!" Moment: As Harry is discussing Payne's unusual behavior, he thinks out loud that Payne knows every method the bomb squad uses to disarm bombs, then realizes Payne must have worked as a bomb squad member. Payne repeatedly refers to Annie as a "wildcat," but Jack only realizes its significance, in the middle of his Heroic BSoD, when he notices Annie's jacket. It's a jacket from University of Arizona, home of the Wildcats; this tips off Jack that Payne can see her jacket, meaning that he's had a camera on-board the whole time.

Non-Fatal Explosions: In the first act where Payne has an explosive vest and takes Harry hostage.

The police try to trick Payne by finding the video feed from the CCTV camera in the bus, looping it and sending it to Payne. He doesn't notice the change because he just so happened to go to the bathroom just as they were making the switch.

Artistic License – Geography: The freeway depicted as I-10 at the start of Annie's ride is actually I-105, which was already completed during filming. The I-105 jump sequence was filmed on the I-110/I-105 interchange (southbound 110 to westbound 105), which actually was unfinished at the time. The bus exits the east I-10 freeway onto Western (south) using a cloverleaf ramp that doesn't exist in Real Life, then goes from there to the I-105 in El Segundo (around 18 miles away) in under a minute.

Also Payne's Evil Plan isn't very well thought-out. He deliberately lets Jack on the bus just to fuck with him, thus giving Jack the opportunity to foil his plans. And even without Jack's involvement, there's no way the LAPD would fork over that much cash without a way to trace it and/or ruin it, e.g. the tracking device and dye bomb.

 Speed / int_fc225bec
comment
Artistic License – Physics: The bus side-swipes a car on the shoulder, which is being loaded onto a tow truck. Somehow this imparts enough momentum to send the car up the back of the truck and launch it through the air. Likewise, the bus somehow manages to jump an unfinished bridge, despite the fact that there was nothing that could actually launch it. The Making Of documentary pointed this out. MythBusters demonstrates that there's no way the bus would have made it even with a launch ramp, let alone without one. As well, even if it had, everyone would have been severely injured by the impact—without seatbelts, they would have been thrown into the air and smacked into the ceiling of the bus, breaking their necks and/or backs. Landing would have broken anything that wasn't broken yet, like their legs. The stuntman who drove the bus was securely strapped in to prevent precisely this. When making the turn, the fear of the bus tipping over was uncalled for. MythBusters covered this along with the bus jump. That little cart Jack uses to go under the bus would have had to be very, very, very heavy to stay down on the ground while being towed at 50+ MPH. Granted, it is made of metal, but it's doubtful it was designed to be used at such speeds for the purpose of looking under speeding buses.

Evil is Petty: Jack speculates that Payne will detonate the elevator bomb money or no, a gut feeling he gets based on Payne's behavior thus far. It's hard to say if Jack's right under the circumstances — Payne is twitchy enough to drop the elevator when he suspects the police are up to something — but Payne is definitely petty enough to kill cops for no reason after being foiled in that attempt.
