| Title: | Speed (1994), d. Jan deBont |
| Starring: | Keanu Reeves, Sandra Bullock, Dennis Hopper |
| Summary: | Plucky Annie (Bullock) finds herself at the wheel of a booby-trapped Los Angeles city bus which will explode if she doesn’t maintain 50 mph. Reeves is the cop who vaults aboard to help; Hopper is the madman behind it all. Expertly rendered high-speed mayhem amid the crowded, sun-blasted boulevards of LA. |
| Dress: | Go for the race-day look: leather coat, sponsor insignias, and shades. Or salute Hopper’s mad bomber: wear full camo gear and breathe hard. |
| Music: | Dig into classic action-movie themes from John Williams, Ennio Morricone, John Barry or Lalo Schifrin. |
| Food: | Death-defying motorsport meets California (and Keanu) cool: avocado burgers, taco salad, and organic iced tea. |
| Drink: | Keep the left coast vibe going with California Dream cocktails (tequila, vermouth and more in a martini glass – here’s an easy recipe) or Sierra Nevada beer. |
| Farr Notes: | Pass around this ready-to-print leaflet on Speed |
