    Storyline

    • Trivia
      Keanu Reeves breaking the glass on the bus door in the beginning of the movie was an accident, however it was left in the final cut.
    • Goofs
      On the train, the console is malfuntioning but Jack speeds the train up by shifting the lever forward so why not pull the lever back which would slow the train down.
    • Quotes

      Howard Payne: Pop quiz, hotshot. There's a bomb on a bus. Once the bus goes 50 miles an hour, the bomb is armed. If it drops below 50, it blows up. What do you do? What do you do?

    • Alternate versions
      Theatrical version had the 1981 20th Century Fox logo at the opening. All VHS, Laserdisc and DVD versions plaster this with the 1994 CGI logo (with the 1981 fanfare) that was used until 2009. However, the Blu-ray release and streaming prints restore the original 1981 logo.

    Enough action for three movies
    Enough action sequences for three movies. Sandra Bullock has the cuteness controls set on HIGH, and Keanu Reeves plays it straight, a lot like his part in "Point Break". Dennis Hopper is, of course, one of the most believably creepy movie villains in the business today. (See him in "Blue Velvet") OK, there were some physical impossibilities in the film, but c'mon, most action films have them. (I've driven buses before, and they will not do many of the things in this movie.) This movie kept my eyes glued to the screen throughout. Grade: B+
