    • Trivia
      Keanu Reeves breaking the glass on the bus door in the beginning of the movie was an accident, however it was left in the final cut.
    • Goofs
      On the train, the console is malfuntioning but Jack speeds the train up by shifting the lever forward so why not pull the lever back which would slow the train down.
    • Quotes

      [Traven spots the explosive device (it's huge); Stephens is relaying his observations by cel-phone]

      Jack: Fuck me!

      Stephens: "Oh, darn."

    • Alternate versions
      Theatrical version had the 1981 20th Century Fox logo at the opening. All VHS, Laserdisc and DVD versions plaster this with the 1994 CGI logo (with the 1981 fanfare) that was used until 2009. However, the Blu-ray release and streaming prints restore the original 1981 logo.

    8/10
    So 90-s you will be hurt by nostalgia!
    Even if you didn't experience the joy of 90-s culture in your own life, you can notice it in the music and movies. That being said, this movie is a true testament to that. Featuring young Keanu Reeves and Sandra Bullock ( this was her breakthrough role, and some people even today view her through this role) on a bus that can't drop below 50 miles per hour, or it will explode, you have a great concept. What you get from that concept is a 1 hour of pure action and that 90-s movie chemistry between the characters (especially between Keanu and Sandra) followed by negotiations with the bomber. It's a real blast (no pun intended) from the past, and with that said, you can easily overlook it's little flaws and unrealistic scenes. It's such a joy to watch and fills your heart with warmness, so it should be appreciated for that. Not a lot of movies today pull that off. 8.5/10 from me, and a warm recommendation! Enjoy! :D ;)
