Continuity: You know there are other ways to avoid the gap in the freeway. When the rescue vehicles are falling back, the camera zooms to a big part of the freeway where there are a few other on ramps to other roads that they should have used to avoid the gap, but they chose to speed up and jump the gap. more

Keanu Reeves forever changed the movie hero, 29 August 2000
10/10
Author: snickerssjo

Speed was a revelation to me . All of a sudden I was on the edge of my seat pulling for the hero. Up until that time I always knew the guy with muscles was going to win no matter what. But Keanu made me want him to win , he got me involved with the story. He did the same in Matrix. The hero is once again exciting.
