## Resource

Okay, we wouldn't necessarily call this movie "great," because it makes a ton of unforced errors. But there's still a lot to like here, including one of the most incredible climactic scenes ever put on film. Keanu Reeves was probably right to pass on this one (and Sandra Bullock basically had to do this), but 'Speed 2' is a fascinating film - and occasionally pretty solid. Let's look back at one of the most maligned sequels of all time, and when you're done, be sure to follow us on social @revengeof90spod and Substack at  https://revengeofthe90s.substack.com/ .
