Fun Stuff

Goofs:
Revealing mistakes: When the policeman is repeatedly listening to a fragment of the recorded conversation with Jenny, it is evident (from observing the reel) that the tape is rewound more than it is played back, even though the very same fragment is heard on each playback. more

A reasonable alternative to speed, 6 November 1998
Author: Chad Parmar from LONDON, ENGLAND

This made for t.v car-chase thriller, is nowhere good (as you would expect)as Speed, both on the special effects and the acting. But is a good alterative to the movie. Based on a true story, it's well worth checking out. Better than Speed 2, anyday.
