And where the tyres were, we had coverings in front of all the tyres, so if he got in trouble, it would just spit him out the back of it.”Įxplore our in-depth ‘Speed’ 25th anniversary coverage during #speedvfxweek.Sandra Bullock recently told TooFab that she’s still embarrassed about starring in “ Speed 2: Cruise Control,” the 1997 sequel to her breakthrough action movie “Speed.” The film starred Bullock opposite Jason Patric as a couple trying to stop a Caribbean cruise shop from crashing into an oil tanker. “It was a little Chevrolet V8,” outlines Frazier, “and then we made it chain drive, and the reason for that was in case Keanu got in trouble and the bus had to spit him out, he wouldn’t be hitting the motor. This bus had the motor built up inside of it. Another bus was rigged to enable filming of Reeves on a trolley car (a John Frazier creation that was a dolly car with disc brakes to control speed and safety).

The front of one of the buses was also augmented with a plastic plexiglass front section, like a plastic bubble. “We took the grips with the wheels on it, and you could roll it up and down.” ![]() “The camera could go up and down that thing, but you never saw what it was, because it looked like the handrail that’s through the bus,” explains Frazier. he headlined a number of the best of the decade and Speed really showed his movie star persona.

Similarly, some of the buses were made to accommodate the steering, gas and brakes being in different positions. “That was the first time we had done anything like that,” says Frazier.
