What's left behind the scenes

  • The role of Jack was offered to Steven Baldwin, William Baldwin, Johnny Depp, Bruce Willis, Tom Cruise, Jeff Bridges, and Tom Hanks, but they all turned it down.
  • Renny Harlin and Quentin Tarantino both declined to direct the film.
  • The film ranked 99th on the American Film Institute's "100 Most Thrilling American Movies" list.
  • During filming, Keanu Reeves accidentally broke the glass in a bus door, but the scene was ultimately kept in the film.
  • Thirteen buses were used during filming, two of which were blown up.
  • The bus model featured in the film is a GMC New Look.
  • Jan de Bont cast Keanu Reeves as Jack Traven after seeing him in 'Point Break' (1991).
  • Halle Berry turned down the role of Annie without regret, even though the film became a major hit. She said, "That movie wouldn't have done for me what it did for Sandra Bullock. I would have just been a Black bus driver."
  • Despite being a disaster film, only seven people die in 'Speed'.
  • A miniature model was used for the scene where the subway train derails.
  • In one episode of the television show "MythBusters" (2003), which aired on the Discovery Channel on April 8, 2009, the team recreated the scene in which passengers moved to the right side of the bus to prevent it from tipping over during a turn. It was determined that there was actually no danger of tipping. Later, on December 9, 2009, the team unsuccessfully attempted to recreate the scene in which the bus jumped 15 meters.
  • The speed shown on the bus's speedometer (digitized in miles/hour) often did not match the bus's actual speed.
  • When Jack sits down to comfort Annie, the bus doors are seen to be closed, however, in the next shot, Jack is seen with the doors open.
  • When the bus is circling in the airport, the middle doors are seen open, but when Jack approaches them to exit the vehicle, they are closed, and he pushes them to open.
  • Jan de Bont chose Keanu Reeves for the role of Jack Traven after seeing him in *Point Break* (1991).
