There are a lot of movies from the '90s that might have had absurd premises that have been completely forgotten, though director Jan de Bont's Speed has managed to stand the test of time. Not only is the core premise of a bus not being able to slow down below 55 mph or exploding a staple of pop culture, but the film's stars, stunts, and narrative momentum are all things that still impress contemporary audiences.
He continued,"So they could not really see it, and then I talked to Peter Chernin at Fox, and I offered, I really acted out some of the scenes, and he got it. I said, 'Oh, wow,' and in that room, in that one meeting, he said, 'Yeah, go ahead. Go ahead.' For a budget, of course -- that was the difference, it's always for a budget."
"Then the combination of the actors, that was perfect. Sandra Bullock was absolutely somebody you could believe was riding a bus," the director explained."That's ironic, really was. If somebody did not have that experience, I made sure that weeks before that they actually made many bus trips, where they saw how boring it could be sitting on the bus, and know what to do and how to respond, what people do on a bus. Because you cannot make it up, you have to experience that.
