Speed is a far smarter movie than it gets credit for.
1994's Speed is inarguably one of the most iconic, exciting, and impressively crafted action films of its era.
With the firm directorial hand of cinematographer-turned-filmmaker Jan de Bont, a killer acting trio in Keanu Reeves, Sandra Bullock, and Dennis Hopper, and an all-timer concept, Speed really does have it all.
Yet the efficiency of its bomb-on-bus premise might fool some into believing that Speed is a mere surface-level film, where what you see is exactly what you get.
But that's far from the truth - Speed is awash in blink-and-you'll-miss-it moments which show how deceptively smart it truly is, both as a piece of storytelling and a work of stunning technical filmmaking.
If you're much of an action fan, you've probably seen Speed innumerable times over the last near-30 years, but as this piece will confirm, there's still so much left to be uncovered.
By the end of this list, you should have a newfound appreciation for the mind-boggling effort that went into executing the high-octane action, while also delivering a satisfying story with memorable characters.
Above all else, you'll never quite watch Speed the same way again, and mostly for the better...
Who can forget the movie's iconic opening titles, where we travel down a soon-to-be-tampered-with elevator shaft while Mark Mancina's pulse-racing musical score blares out?
Though you'd be forgiven for assuming that director Jan de Bont just... did it for real, by rigging up a camera and passing it down the elevator shaft, this actually wasn't the case at all.
The sequence was achieved with use of elaborate miniatures: de Bont had the production build a 35-foot miniature of the shaft, which was then laid horizontally as the camera dollied along it.
This is especially impressive considering that the shot ends with the camera dollying away from the shaft towards the maintenance entrance, which is presumably also part of the miniature.
De Bont is a huge fan of practical filmmaking wherever possible, so it certainly follows that he'd rather "go miniature" than resort to CGI if it wasn't possible to use a real elevator shaft.
Stay at home dad who spends as much time teaching his kids the merits of Martin Scorsese as possible (against the missus' wishes).

The ten cleverest ways to get drivers to slow down
Americans Can’t Get Enough Super-Expensive Cars
According to Bob: Public Transit Is a Car Enthusiast's Best Friend
Americans Can’t Get Enough Super-Expensive Cars
According to Bob: Public Transit Is a Car Enthusiast's Best Friend
If you want to reduce speeding, there are more cunning tactics than just handing out tickets. Here are what Jalopnik readers picked as the ten sneakiest, most effective, cleverest ways of getting drivers to slow down.
Some call it "traffic calming," others call it law enforcement. The police get high-tech speed-trap
Welcome back to Answers of the Day — our daily Jalopnik feature where we take the best ten responses from the previous day's Question of the Day and shine it up to show off. It's by you and for you, the Jalopnik readers. Enjoy!
Why it's sharp: Portuguese Jalopnik reader sngd alerts us of a homebrew kind of speed camera that doesn't cost anyone any money, but still works like a charm.
In Portugal we have a comedian called "Nilton", which I didn't like until I saw some youtube clips of what he does for fun.
And this is one of those things he does for fun: So he goes to a road which has a fixed speed camera. He stays 500 meters (550 yards) ahead of the speed camera and he flashes the guys who are speeding with a camera flash.
He does this for fun (say, "yeah... I just ruined your weekend"), but the truth is that they all slow down afterwards and for one or two months they think they are going to get a ticket.. I bet they do slow down.
Luxury brushing Mode is the first magnetically charging toothbrush, and rotates to dock in any outlet. The brushing experience is as luxurious as it looks—with soft, tapered bristles and a two-minute timer to be confident you reached all the crevices of your molars.
Why it's sharp: The great thing about these radar-controlled "your speed" signs is that for most drivers, they just alert you of your indiscretion and you slow down, feeling a little embarrassed. For the rest of us, they give you a chance to get a high score.
They're simple, they're effective at calming traffic, and they even let you know how inaccurate your speedometer is.
Why it's sharp: This little example comes from Newton Township, a suburb of Philadelphia. City planners tried to calm the road with a kind of obstacle, and it looks like it works at getting drivers to go more slowly. The town's drivers absolutely loathed it, but it worked.
The other opportunity chicanes provide, for those of us who like to enjoy our driving, is that we get a little bit of a low-speed racetrack tacked onto our usual way home. Nothing like a little hooning to wake up the morning commute, eh?
Why it's sharp: The invisible rope trick is when two guys stand on either side of a road and pretend to be holding a rope between them. Though you do risk a severe pummeling from pissed off drivers, cars do slow right the hell down.
Why it's sharp: The idea is simple. All the money you get from speeding tickets goes into a lottery. Everyone who obeys the limit gets entered for a chance to win that money. Brilliant! Reward good behavior and punish the bad.
It turns road safety into something of a game, which is about twenty thousand times better than the ever-present cop cruisers that wait to give people tickets.
5.) Strategically parked empty Crown Vic
Why it's sharp: The sight of a Crown Vic just gets people to stop speeding. No matter what paint job it has, or how it's parked, if you see a Crown Victoria, there's a little trigger in your brain that makes you think "cop". You just slow down.
So you can just cut the actual police out of the equation. Just park a cop-car lookalike in a driveway facing the road and the ingrained reactions of every driver out there will do the rest.
Why it's sharp: During the day this solar-powered setup down near San Louis Obispo, CA doesn't look like much, but during the night it lights up blue and white and looks very much like a cop car.
No one speeding on this rural road is the wiser, and it gets people to slow down cheaply and effectively without having to actually put an officer out at the road.
Why it's sharp: This is a great way of bringing costs down for a municipality that's trying to cut speed. Very little gets people to slow down like a kid in the road, and rather than employ a round the clock ten year old, you can just fool motorists into slowing down with a hologram like this.
Why it's sharp: I'm going to let Trinidanian reader ThatDamnDrunk explain this one, as it's just brilliant. It might not work everywhere, but it is an amazingly unconventional way of effectively slowing traffic on a dangerous part of the road.
There is a (mostly) three lane highway which connects the North of the island to the south, its mostly straight except for a few curves here and there. There are many bumps, dips, and potholes along the road; plainly there are just many badly paved patches of road. And even though there is a speed limit of 80km/h, it is not enforced; I've never heard of anyone being ticketed for speeding and I know of persons who do twice that speed on a daily basis on our highways. Now along this particular highway, there is a specific stretch after an area called Claxton Bay (the overpass if anyone knows it) which first goes downhill then comes to a small corner/bend (which you can take at great speed). There have been numerous accidents however; it can logically be blamed on small depressions on the corner, bad paving, and crosswinds. But unfortunately people still speed (and some are lost in the process).
How'd some of the speeding stop? Most of the deaths are actually blamed on a ghost which haunts that specific stretch of highway. Doing 160km/h? There's a little girl in your backseat here to kill you. And that's how everyone says everyone dies at that part of the highway. Even though I don't know if its true or not, I still slow the f*** down.
1.) Put naked women at the side of the road
Why it's sharp: If you really want traffic to slow down, for better or for worse, you'd have a hard time outdoing naked women holding up speed limit signs at the side of the road.
Of course, this campaign never actually happened; the most you'll ever see of the Speedbandits is this viral video made in 2006 by the Danish Council for Traffic Safety.
