Retro saturdays and speed the movie

No this movie isn't about a drug, I'm talking about the 90's classic staring sandra bullock and keanu reeves aka neo from the matrix. Oh and dennis hopper is in it too and uncle joey from full house. The movie itself is about dennis hopper rigging a bomb on a city bus and it will explode. I 1st saw this movie on tv as I would frequently see the poster and vhs cover whenever I would go to video stores. It's probably the number #1 most rented vhs movie simply because every video store kept multiple copies by the cashier so it made a great impulse rental

I recorded from fox one day in the 90's as it was supposed to start at 9pm(my bed time back then) and end some time after 11pm and this was on a school night. The next day I rushed home from school and rewound my tape and it recorded it, I was in awe the whole film and I wondered why it had an R rating if it didn't have much violence and no sex scenes(just one make out scene) and also how a bus could go that fast

What makes this movie interesting now is the 105 freeway where most of the freeway scenes took place. In real life at the time it was under construction and now it's one of the busiest freeways in southern california and it's in need of repair. It's just funny to look at it and realize it's not that old. The traffic back then was interesting and it takes you back to the early 90's. I remember how popular the ford taurus was and this movie reflects that. The bus itself is neat as it seems to be from the 80's and it's different yet similar to today's modern aquare buses
