Speed: Love Bombing

SUBCATEGORY: GETTING SOME ACTION

This week we're tackling an action romance that is definitely not a rom-com: 1994's bus and bomb bonanza 'Speed.' Keanu Reeves and Sandra Bullock light up the screen in this thriller that may jump the shark when it jumps the highway and the subway tracks. Chelsea and Elena debate the chemistry between the leads and talk about the actors who passed up being Jack Traven and Annie Porter. We also talk about how Joss Whedon rewrote the Speed script and why we probably won't be seeing any new Jan de Bont movies any time soon. And although Dennis Hopper is a fantastic bad guy, we have a few questions about the logistics of his ransom / terrorist revenge plot. This is a true 90s classic and public transportation has never been sexier.
