Advantages: Excellent first film
Disadvantages: Speed 2 is included. lack of special features

Speed 1 in my opinion is one of the greatest action movies of all time. speed 2 however tried to cash in on the first films sucess and failed horribly. The first speed movie follows the adventure of a cop who gets caught up with a mad mans atempt to become rich by using certain devalish plots. The main one of which being putting a bomb on a bus so that if it goes under 50mph thenit will expolode. if this sounds like a good plot in your eyes then ...
...into an oil tanker by you typical evil genius. Its ones of the worst movies ever made. If i were you i would buy speed 1 on its own as its cheaper and if your like me you would preffer to have just the 1 DVD in the box. ... Read review

Advantages: Adrenaline pumping action with a razor sharp scrict
Disadvantages: The last 10 minutes are unneccessary

Speed is an adrenaline pumping, action packed rollercoaster of a movie that never slows down the pace, with a very simple plot pulled off to perfection. Released in 1994, Speed was a huge success at the box office, and catapulted the career of the then unknown Keanu Reeves into superstardom. The film contains an elevator, bus and train, all used to great effect. The first part merely sets up the plot for the rest of the film, with the bus sequence ...
...drama hots up. Although the acting isn't that hot it doesn't matter, this film will blow you away with it's frenetic pacing. This film led to the abysmal sequel Speed 2, by which stage Reeves had jumped ship. Speed is simply one hell of a ride. Highly recommended. ... Read review

Advantages: action packed and fast paced
Disadvantages: not many

i think speed is a great name for this film as from start to finish it is action packed, and also the story line is very gripping. the acting is to a usual standard, i thought. not great oscar winning performances but its an action film so i wouldnt expect any. the chartacters in this film are very memorable beause of the actions sequences that they take part in. for instance keanu reeves under the coach/bus trying to diffuse the bomb, i loved this ...
...fifty mph; then, if the speed drops below fifty, the bomb will explode. Their high-speed bus ride through L.A.'s city streets and freeways is like something out of an amusement park and will leave you quite breathless. as far as i no the extras contained in this dvd special edition are a normal standard as to what you would normally get. i.e commentarys from the cast and crew, biographys and deleted scenes. ...

Advantages: Exciting situation all in one location, so if you liked 'Phone Booth'
Disadvantages: Bit of a joke really

...is all about keeping the speed of a bus above 50mph or facing an untimely death. There is plenty to keep you entertained whilst they negotiate with the terrorist, whether or not some of it defies reality is up for debate - if you've seen the movie you will know at least one of these scenes I am referring to. Jack is hellbent on getting on that bus and taking down Payne, that is why he puts himself in the thick of the action with leading lady Annie ...
...the role as a bus driver, ironically after only using public transport due to her license being revoked for speeding, whilst the rest of the characters on the bus question their choice of why they had to take the bus today. THE OPINION Oscar wins for both effects and sound shows you just how dated this movie actually is, and I am sure a young Keanu Reeves would not have expected this movie to lead him on to a starring role in a movie as 'pretty' ...
