SPEED was the first movie screened in a Dolby Surround sound In India (Chennai). The environment in Devi Theatre was electrifying, mind blowing sound. The whole hall was jam packed and people screamed their lungs out on hearing the score. Mark Mancina's best score as far as I can recall.
Saw this in the theater the day it opened. My brother and I were sitting around the living room one summer afternoon and we decided that we could make the next show time. The problem was the movie started in 15 minutes and the theater was 25-30 minutes away. Like the movie, we sped through traffic and opened the doors to our theater just as 20th Century Fox came up. I will never forget that! Great memories!
I had my mom drive me to Specs through a hurricane the day we had off school just to get one of the first VHS copies and watch it again all day. Great times and the opening score and elevator scenes were the best and met Keanu and he was so pleasant and down to earth and just amazing.
The whole title sequence is a minature effect. Absolutely incredible. The score is still amongst one of my favourite main themes of any action picture. Brilliant!!!
Exactely when movies didn't have generic music. ;) The 90s was the best (Terminator 2, Twister, Independance day, Speed, Jurassic Park, True Lies, Armageddon, Titanic, Deep Impact ... The 90s was the gold age of movie music. ;)
My favorite Keanu Reeves & Jeff & Dennis Hopper and Sandra Bullock film of all time, I was 12 when I first watched it with younger 9 year old brother CG :)
Speed, Die Hard with a Vengeance, Bad Boys, Rush Hour, Enemy of The State, Passenger 57, The Rock, Under Seige, The Negotiator, Metro, Goldeneye, Eraser, Terminator 2, The Long Kiss Goodnight, Cliffhanger, True Lies and Kiss The Girls are the greatest action thrillers of the 90's!
This movie came out about 94. But I remember I didn't really notice this piece of music until a couple years later when SKY used it on a promo for the Tyson Holyfield fight in 96. Then I put 2 and 2 together and realised it was actually from Speed
This was and always will be the best action movie. There are no movies like these anymore least not ones without Dwayne Johnson. Where is a great action movie that doesn’t have DJ no superficial model chick, and no massive explosions in every corner of the screen?
and during the Lockdown channels were Airing this movie. as of the making of this comment I'm going tent camping one week with my Friends and were watching this movie when we get there. One knows it and there doesn't they saw it so for the camping to rent the DVD from the library for a fun movie night.
The editors of the opening credits of these movies with Mark Mancina doing the score are perfect, when the score peaks. *bang* 'Composed by Mark Mancina!' Bad Boys did the same on the opening as well.
There was a sense of intrigue and purpose with the cinematography in the 80s and 90s, especially without the overdone HDR and nauseatingly rehashed color (de)grading that we're deluged with these days. Miss that film look.
2:24 There is nothing wrong with your television set. Do not attempt to adjust the picture. We are controlling transmission. For the next hour we will control all that you see and hear. You are about to experience the awe and mystery which reaches from the inner mind to the outer limits.
Just to think that the intro is actually extremely boring and long... but the music makes it an awesome experience. As a teen, i thought this movie had the best music.
It's quite interesting that this moving I used to watch When I Was Little when I was sitting down with my father at the time it was processing the early 90s I must have been round about 8 or 10 years old and I couldn't understand it at to have potential time for there is a hidden message inside this movie pre warning a person of their future which the Americans can predict somebody's future

Unless you're expecting absolute credibility, this film is hard to hate. Although admittedly, director Jan DeBont fiseled in quality after this and Twister. Haunting could've better but worse, imo.

Man, I miss when movies had such distinctive scores.

Still see a few here and there today.
Like: Poseidon, The Great Wall, Geostorm, Gemini Man, John Wick, Pacific Rim, Rush
There's like 2 movies a year now where you can remember the goddamned music after it's over.
Like quick, hum the theme to Joker or Black Panther.
@@JustSomeCanadianGuy Black Panther is easy.
metal gearrrrrrrrrr
Absolutely one of the best scores of all time. It's tense, exhilarating, daring, sneaky, and fun. Mark Mancina is a genius.
yup, this and the intro to Bad Boys are legendary
I think he built on what the score to T2 revolutionized, rhythm of the pulse,
@@stevendufour Man that opening score always gets me pumped up. Perfect choice.
I was always enamoured of this film as a child becuase of its sublime score
Imagine watching this title sequence for the first time at the cinema in 1994 having no idea what the movie was about.
I was there in 94,but the sad part is i don't remember much of it.Watched the movie again last week,it holds up great to this day.
The movie intro theme at the beginning here is so great, that it gives the audience a chill down the spine. Very unique indeed.
Keanu! You are a national treasure!
I miss when every movie had a unique score, and didn't just recycle tired old Gen X music we've heard a thousand times on the radio.
Dennis Hopper played a great antagonist. He was a madman
"The whim of a madman! Hahaha, I like that!"
@@IzZyRaWr "No Jack, poor people are crazy, I'm eccentric!"
@@davsny5 That's why I love children; no guile......IT DOES LOOK LIKE SHIT.
(wrong movie, lololol)
"Why are they messing with me huh Jack? You think I'm doing this for fun?!"😂😂
Well he was a hero in The Texas Chainsaw Massacre 2, and now he became a villain in this movie Speed.
They don't make em like this no more. Rip Dennis Hopper.
Every single damn time I hear the opening I think of metal gear solid
That's because mgs is a rip off of all the famous action movies put together lol
My favorite Keanu Reeves & Jeff & Dennis Hopper and Sandra Bullock film of all time, I was 12 when I first watched it with younger 9 year old brother CG :)
The intro it's giving me straight goosebumps.
I've always liked the opening credits. They fit the theme music so well.
Setebos Absolutely.
Especially at 0:53
This music is so good, it makes u wonder why we haven't heard of the composer more!
James Cameron True Lies and this was the best movies of 1994.
My dad took me to see this as a kid. The theater we went to doesn't exist anymore
The intro of this movie is actually an elevator shaft.
Highwaylevators A model of an elevator shaft :)
I was going to say something snarky about this obvious comment but then I saw your username and thought "I'll allow it."
Damn I wish I could tell if your joking or not😅
There actually OTIS Elevators because of the floor counter and chime.
@@sprayarm damned convincing.
A three minute sequence dedicated to credits love it.
Speed, Die Hard with a Vengeance, Bad Boys, Rush Hour, Enemy of The State, Passenger 57, The Rock, Under Seige, The Negotiator, Metro, Goldeneye, Eraser, Terminator 2, The Long Kiss Goodnight, Cliffhanger, True Lies and Kiss The Girls are the greatest action thrillers of the 90's!
when i was a kid, i'd get more terrified the closer it would get to the end of the credits because i knew Hopper was in the basement
me too
So was i..... hopper played the role of a psyco so so well
I remember thinking that!!
I remember when this movie started. It was a good movie. Its was action from beginning to end! It was never slow! Best movies of 1994😄
What a year of movies
I agree
I am lucky I was born in 80s so can enjoy so many good movies in 90s😂
Man I miss when movies films had great musical soundtracks scores
Jesus, 30 years old. It looks and sounds so good!
One of my favourite opening titles to a film. As good as the film itself
Very nice sound track it sounds like a hero is going to save the day that is why it suits the film. 👍🏼
I think it was called "The Bus That Couldn't Slow Down".
I watched this first time when i was 4 later with my dad the rock. ❤ thank you father 😅
And this is when I knew I'd love this movie
This movie film is a classic
0:53 the bg music is like in metal gear solid
Mixed with some Terminator 2 I wonder if any of those projects were done by any of the same people.
yvojski solis yeah it sounds the encounter theme in mgs 1
You know I always thought the same thing.
Sons of Liberty is magic indeed
Can't wait for Keanu to finally decide to make a Speed 3.

0:47 - *Metal Gear Solid Theme* reference
The 1990s when scores meant something.
This was and always will be the best action movie. There are no movies like these anymore least not ones without Dwayne Johnson. Where is a great action movie that doesn’t have DJ no superficial model chick, and no massive explosions in every corner of the screen?
Speed is came out June 10th,1994!
Sonic got great taste in movies
That movie was the best
I have this movie on VHS.
In the Sonic Movie, Tom and Maddie are watching the movie Speed

Holy shit my sister (for whatever reason) had this movie and every time we went to visit her I would watch it.

I wish Keanu would do a speed 3 on a train. Unstoppable is probably the closest we will get to it.
The taking of pelham 123 is the closest to that!
@@janiprime Yeah that's the remake to the great 1974 movie.

0:48 to final muisc wooooooooooow a beautiful
Ok am I trippin or is this the metal gear solid theme?
You're not trippin. You can definitely tell MSG used part of this track. And The Rock used bits as well.
Proper fucking film. Last of the great action movies.
What about Con Air (1997)?
What is the classic movie?
All of the scenes will be called out when the theme on!
Cannot wait for Keanu reeves jack traven to finally decide to make a speed 3
Awesome opening credits
It looks and sounds so good by musical composer performer conductor mark mancina
Just to think that the intro is actually extremely boring and long... but the music makes it an awesome experience. As a teen, i thought this movie had the best music.
Konami stole this music! It sounds the exact same as Metal Gear Solid; when Snake is trying to escape from danger.

One of my fav movie lol
DOLBY SPECTRAL RECORDING IT WAS it was Breath taking for ears Also

The floor numbers can be seen above the doors on the right so there was no need to count them 😂😂😂😂

Twister was silly but very entertaining and made a lot of money, then I think he followed up with Speed 2 and it was a huge bomb, he never recovered.
I like 80ˢ 90ˢ❤
I want my bed to be an elevator for my alarm
Why Can't We Have Opening Credits Like Speed, The Terminator, Terminator 2, Home Alone, Spider-Man 1&2 or Halloween 1978 Again?
