Revealing mistake: When Payne opens the money bag in the overhead shot looking down into the bag, as the dye bomb explodes, Payne is wearing a transparent protective face shield, that is partially visible at the top left corner of the screen. Payne is not wearing a face shield in the previous or following consecutive shots. (01:42:35)

Visible crew/equipment: When the police officers on the LAX vehicle are attempting to rescue all the passengers by driving up beside the bus, there's a camera angle between the bus and LAX vehicle, as the people are jumping out of the bus onto the LAX vehicle. If you look closely, you can see camera crew reflections on the rear bus fender, and also a man sitting wearing a white shirt with sunglasses reflected in the window of the open LAX vehicle door.

Visible crew/equipment: When the speeding bus takes the really sharp right curve, while it leans over on its left wheels, you can see the crew's tire rig lift under the bus that they used to keep it steady for this stunt. (00:50:10)

Visible crew/equipment: On the train, Jack hears Mac saying the track isn't finished, then Jack becomes aware of the broken emergency stop button. When Jack walks back over to Annie and tells her they have to jump, we can see the reflection of the standing camera operator on the right door's window, and the reflection of a crouching crew member (possibly boom operator) on the left door's window. Definitely crew given they're meant to be alone on the train. (01:45:55)

More quotes from Speed

Trivia: The famous "Dukes of Hazzard" sequence was the filmmakers' wry commentary on the uncompleted state of Interstate 105, which had become a running joke among LA motorists. It was finally (and quite uncoincidentally) completed in late 1993 shortly before the film's release, years behind schedule.

Question: When Jack is fighting on the roof of the train,he makes the quip "yeah..but I'm taller" just before the other guys head is knocked off. What does he mean by this? He was laying down at the time, height doesn't come into it.

Answer: He's taller now because he has his head while the villain does not!
