Imagine speed without the bus, without Keanu Reeves, without the tension, and without the story.
We saw Speed 2 cruise control.
So you know what that means?
Now it's time for
Hello, people of Earth, and welcome to How Did This Get Made?
But let's just get right into it.
I am joined, as always, by June Diane Rayfield and Jason Manzoukas.
How are you guys?
Pretty good.
Pretty good.
We all are in studio here
for the first time in a while.
This is exciting.
Also, joining us today is the host of Comedy Bang Bang.
He has a brand new show coming out on IFC every Friday night.
Please welcome Scott Ockerman.
Oh, you sound like you were about to say more.
Scott Ackerman, who is my best friend.
According to New York Times, the den mother of comedy.
Denmother.
Really?
Sweet.
Fucking Zach Alvinagis.
That's his quote.
He knows I'm a man.
Anyway, so speech.
You do have substantial tits.
Thank you.
You're sucking on them.
Nourishment.
All right, so we decided.
We decided what better way to kick off our so bad, they're good summer movie blockbusters with Speed 2 Cruise Control, the ill-conceived sequel to Speed, a movie that could not have a sequel, really.
It ended
perfectly.
And what they did was they took the side character, Sandra Bullock, and made her front and center.
Now, Sandra Bullock doesn't do anything in speed besides.
She just drives the bus.
She drives the bus.
You're miming doing a steering wheel.
May I point out she also presses her foot down upon the accelerator.
You are right.
You are right.
So she is now the lead of this movie.
And clearly, this movie was written for Keanu Reeves.
I have to interject.
It was not written at all.
If you do some research, they did not have a script.
Well, basically.
is that right?
Yeah, Graham Yost, the guy who wrote the first speed movie, had a great idea for a sequel.
Because the director, Jan DeBont, wanted to do something with a boat, and he had this idea.
He had a dream, by the way.
Well, this is, yeah, yeah.
This should be titled Based Upon a Nightmare by Jan DeBont.
Dream of two large ships slowly moving toward each other.
He had a nightmare where a boat crashed into something and he woke up and said, That is the sequel.
That is really and truthfully what happened.
Yes.
Oh, come on.
So basically the writer Graham Yost was kicked off the project and instead they went with Jan de Bont's dream of a boat crashing into land.
And the movie feels exactly like a foreign person's dream about a boat crashing into land.
It feels like a dream where for some reason, you know how when you're dreaming about someone you know, they'll say, goodbye and turn into someone else.
And it feels like that's what happened in his dream is Keanu Reeves was like, oh, excuse me, and just like changed into Jason Patrick for no reason.
And then we're off, and we're on this boat with him.
And so they try to like write out
basically Kiana Reeves in the first scene.
And it's so sloppy.
There's nothing, I've never seen a movie more sloppy with exposition ever.
Which it says a lot for what we do here on this show.
It's so like, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
It's like, she literally says.
She basically says that relationships with daredevils never work out.
It didn't work out.
That it only worked out for like six months and then she jettisoned him or something.
Like they broke up after six months.
Oh, because he gave her mace and she thought it was perfume.
And wound up in the hospital.
Yeah.
Which really, I don't know what kind of perfume looks like a can of mace.
You know, that's a great idea.
And if you're in, I'm in.
Yeah, let's do it.
$250,000.
I'm actually surprised later in the movie when she finds that grenade, she didn't think it was perfume.
Boom.
I also love the first scene of the movie, they bring back a character from the first movie, like the police chief and he gets Joe Morton Joe Morton who which by the way she does not we should point out she does not know that her boyfriend Jason Patrick is a daredevil cop no she thinks he's a
cop she knows he's a cop but thinks he's a bike cop on the Venice yeah but then what what is even more infuriating she does not know that not only is he a cop but works with the exact same cop who got her off that bus in the first movie.
And her, yes, and she doesn't want to date daredevils, but she is dating a daredevil.
Well, and it's a very strange thing.
Because they need to basically.
Yeah, but it's a strange thing to set up a female character who does not, who actively doesn't want a man who's a hero,
who saves lives, like actively is looking to be aware of.
Considering what type of hero Jason Patrick actually is in this movie, she should not want that.
Basically, it basically starts off with two parallel scenes.
Joe Morton is leading a special squat team.
Squat.
Squat team.
SWAT team.
yeah squat team yeah squat team they are leading a swat team I don't even know what they're trying to bust
it's it's an ice cream truck full of full of stolen computers it's like because it's 1993 it is so uninteresting they bring out a SWAT team for one truck of stolen computers which all fall out of the back of the truck they all are flying out and meanwhile Jason Patrick is just chasing it on a motorcycle meanwhile Sandra Bullock is taking her driver's test with Tim Conway, and it's very comical.
In like an SUV convertible.
No, she's in a Volkswagen thing.
It's an old, like, that's, I actually love that car.
It's a Volkswagen thing.
What?
There is a car called The Thing.
It's from like the 70s or earlier even.
It's like an old, old Volkswagen.
It's called The Thing.
What?
Yeah.
Wow, okay.
So in this person.
I like the thing.
We have to do an episode of how did this get made?
Okay, then
I also want to do a P T Cruiser then.
Because I cannot for the life of me figure that disaster out.
They only are sold to rental car agencies.
I think so.
That's easy top.
Yeah, they're not being paid anymore.
Because you tried to buy one?
Yeah.
Again, the clunkiness of this first scene, her driver's test intersects with the SWAT team, and
that's how she finds out.
Well, she also, I mean, people, she's driving so crazily.
People were killed during that.
Oh, yeah.
Oh, yeah.
Easily.
Okay, so just
for doing a body count.
If this movie actually happens, there's a huge death toll.
And there's huge, there are deaths that occur due to comedic moments.
There are deaths, like, like her comedically bad driver's exam must have led to five deaths.
And to follow that up, then there are comedic moments that follow deaths.
Yes.
So there are deaths and then punchlines immediately afterwards.
Like there are people that get sucked into the propellers.
Yeah.
Right.
When they're on the lifeboat, lifeboat rescue.
Two people fall out of the boat, get sucked into the propellers, and she's like, lower the gangplank.
And then she's like, can you get these people out of here?
This is supposed to be a vacation.
Yes, a vacation.
So basically, she finds out that her boyfriend's a part of the suicide squad of the police force.
Policemen who are willing to commit suicide in pursuit of stolen computers.
We've got to get those computers.
My life is irrelevant.
I also do love that Joe Morton's first line of the movie is like, you know,
the character that the replacement Keanu Reeves is Alex.
He goes, all right, Alex, no stunts and no wrecks.
Like, that's what he leads it up with.
Meanwhile, Alex is on his motorcycle driving primarily on one wheel.
Yes.
Primarily
in a wheelie form.
No reason why he needed to be driving like that the entire time.
So as she finds out that she is dating Kiana Reeves because the movie has to continue and they weren't going to regret it too much.
I don't know if you've ever watched Alien 2 or Aliens, right?
Yes.
Back-to-back with Alien Third to the Third Power.
No, I did not see it to the third power.
I watched a marathon.
Alien Cubed.
I watched a marathon of all four movies on TV once, but when
you brag,
I grew a super long beard.
I ate my fingernails.
But watching, you watch all of the the Second Aliens movie, and for the entire movie, she is trying to save the little kid, right?
Newt.
She's trying to save Newt.
She's finally successful.
She escapes the aliens.
And then if you immediately watch the third alien movie, it starts with that little kid dead.
That like all of this was for naught.
And that's how I felt like watching this movie.
We're so invested in her getting together with Kiana Reeves in that movie, and he's so amazing in it.
And then for her to just go, yeah, I broke up with him six months later.
He's so amazing in it i i just i agree with it i agree i think he's great in spite i mean i think he's great in it yeah all right all right i think he's great in it perfectly fine i guess i'm the i guess i'm the sole dissenter here and girl he is cut
but he i mean so basically the right dead mother of comedy and so that you know the original premise is essentially that keana reeves and her go on a boat trip and the boat is hijacked well not kiana reeves but i mean that it was written that way i was saying it was written that way he turned it down yep um after After reading the script?
After reading the script, he said that.
Or just after reading the outline or something.
Yeah, after hearing about the dream.
Well, he said he had recently, he did not like the script, and he was secure from the success of the first film.
And he said that he did a movie called Chain Reaction.
And he said he wasn't mentally or physically ready to start in another action film right now.
And he went to go tour with Dogstar, his band, instead.
But
we should do another show.
How did this get made, dogstart the band?
Basically, everyone turned down this movie.
Sandra Bullock only agreed to be in this movie if they would finance her movie, Hope Floats.
And then William Dafoe was only in this movie after they went to like 10 other guys to be the bad guy.
And so was Jason Patrick.
It went to Matthew McConaughey, who went on to do contact and said John Bon Jovi, who passed.
Oh, that's the movie I want to see.
Yeah, I would love to have seen that.
Patrick Maldoon and Christian Slater.
Who's Patrick Maldoon?
Who even is?
Who is he to turn down speed?
Who even is Patrick Maldoon?
I'm going to find out right now.
Wait a second.
Because you're saying people who are like legitimately A-list people, and then you said a name that I've literally never heard.
All right, I'm looking at it right now.
Patrick Maldo is a pretend person.
He was in Starship Troopers
and Days of Our Lives.
He's a soap actor.
He's a soap actor.
Wow.
A soap opera actor turned this down.
Yes.
That's how bad this script is.
And Jason Patrick is.
Oh, he was on Melrose Place.
That was
his big fit.
That makes sense.
Yes.
So then Jason Patrick finally got it.
No one wanted to do this movie.
And so he kind of steps into a role that was written for Keanu Reeves, where I think that if you look at the movie, Keanu Reeves would have been trying to ask Sandra Bullock to marry him.
He would have been invested in their relationship already.
Instead of, when we meet these two, he's about to ask her to marry him, and we are actively rooting against him because we like Keanu Reeves so much.
And also, they appear to have a horrible relationship built upon lies.
Built upon a lie.
Well, first of all, she's been dating him for six months, doesn't know about this thing, and then they're like,
she doesn't know anything about him, and he's ready to ask her to marry him.
Yeah.
I mean, Jan DeBont says that he just rewrote the first scene to establish that that was it.
The movie is every otherwise it's unchanged?
It's unchanged.
Oh my god.
So it's, you know,
you know, so that that speaks volumes of why this movie is so fucking weird.
I wonder if Jeff Bridges would have.
No, no, he's dead in the first one.
Never mind.
Spoiler.
Sorry.
spoiler.
So basically, they get on the boat.
It's a fun cruise ship.
You know it because you meet every character you're going to see for the rest of the movie immediately.
Especially Dante.
Dante.
My name's Dante.
He says, my name's Dante like 800 times.
Last line is, remember, it's Dante.
I gotta say, too.
He says that.
Yes.
Dante's taking pictures the whole time from beginning to end.
Oh, yes.
And the ship is going down.
As he is in the process of dying,
he is taking pictures.
He's taking pictures.
And I thought for sure these pictures are going to come back and we're going to be
reveal clues that way and understand.
It would be like the sequence in Hangover at the end.
You spin me right,
baby.
Right, right.
And you see like all the golf clubs, William Dafoe.
I like to think that the guy playing Dante,
like that was his actor's process to hope that he would be remembered in the movie, which is not a bad idea if you're an actor.
He's not heard his name.
It's to constantly say your character name.
He's the only one.
So they meet Dante, then they meet this weird guy who's kind of like a concierge.
He's showing them to his room
like the bellhop guy.
The bellhop guy.
A comedian, Jeremy Hodson?
Maybe.
I don't have it in front of me right at the second, but yeah.
So he's like showing them, and then all of a sudden you meet the villain.
Within the first 10 minutes of the movie, you've met every main character.
And the villain is William Dafoe, who Jason Patrick immediately is like, this guy's up to something.
He knows it.
Yeah.
There is never a second on this enormous ship where they are not within 15 feet of Willem Dafoe.
No.
Like they are
behind everyone else we've met.
There are hundreds and hundreds of people, if not thousands, on this cruise ship, and they are constantly surrounded by the same eight people.
Well, it's also confusing because Willem Dafoe could have pulled all of this off and not gone out during the daytime hours.
Like he didn't have to do cruise time activities.
Yeah, yeah.
William Dafoe was out enjoying the ship at the bar.
Like he didn't need to leave the room.
You're right.
He was just scouting.
He was just
hung out with his leeches all afternoon.
Guys, the leeches.
The leeches, okay.
The leeches, I was, that also, I kept being like, okay, the leeches are gonna play a part in this, a bigger part in this, and they just don't.
Well, I mean, except to be like, there's a tub full of leeches at one point.
And I was like, that's and what Jason Patrick sees the leeches, he says, this is a very sick master.
This is a very sick puppy.
But you know, you know, it's so funny.
It's like, I feel like it was done, this movie was done in the era where the bad guys needed some quirk.
They couldn't just be bad.
So he was a bad guy who needed leeches that were sucking out the copper that he had been exposed to by working on computers.
It seems like as a villain, you need motivation.
Like every great actor that they approach probably are like, what's my motivation?
So, you know, unlike The Rock, which has Ed Harris as a villain where you're actually on his side because he's like going farther than you would, but you understand why.
Like, Willem Defoe is just a fucking insane person who happens to be.
Please explain what he wanted to do to do.
Well, he's worked on the computers for this ship, so he knows everything about it.
While he was working on the computers, he got sick.
He got sick, and they fired him.
Hence the leeches.
Okay, so they fired him,
which I don't think is legal.
Yeah, absolutely.
He could have pursued a legal course.
He got one.
Well, it was 1997.
No one was suing their companies back then.
Law didn't exist.
Yeah, this is before 9-11.
A lot of things changed.
But he basically was a computer expert who got exposed to too much copper from working on computers.
Exposed to too much copper.
Yeah, which is exactly how computers work.
Which, by the way, is what pennies are made out of, which we carry around, exposing ourselves to constantly.
Well, you know, that's how Abraham Lincoln died.
So he wants revenge on the company that fired him, and the doctors gave him a couple years to live, but these leeches might give him a couple more years to live.
Because he wouldn't trade the leeches for all the doctors in the world, as he says.
Okay, okay.
So
he
revenge, though, is taking down the
diamond, which is the craziest part.
He wants to steal the diamonds that are on the boat.
Brought on the boat by passengers.
No, brought on the boat by passengers.
By the jewelry company.
Remember, they say, who wants a multi-million dollar show, blah, blah, blah.
Some jewelry company is on the boat and they are, remember, walking around with all those diamonds signed.
People are buying them for some weird customers.
Yeah, there's a crazy shot where one of the extras, like one of the women who's showing the jewelry, walks around with the jewelry on a tray.
And the women jump out of their seats.
It's like Oprah's favorites thing.
They stare at the jewelry that's on her.
It's strangest.
Which then
when the boat, they say abandoned ship, the jewelry company says, well, of course, I will leave the diamonds here on this ship.
And they get off the ship.
Yeah, they get off the ship.
You leave them there.
Well, I mean, look, again, it goes back to the diehard thing, too.
The villains are so cool, but all they want in the end is just a good score, some barrel bones or some diamonds.
But he wants the money to make him less sick or to not have it.
I think he just wants the money.
No, no, I think he just wants the money.
Even though he only has a couple years to live with the money.
He's going to live with the leeches.
He's just going to live it up.
I think he's going to go crazy in St.
Martin or wherever he goes.
Maybe he's going to buy more leeches.
Fine, but why does he have to after he does it?
Throw a big copper magnet to like suck the copper out of his body.
That's a great idea.

by the way the another just a couple weird things that jumped out at me before we get into the, I mean, the die-hard section of the movie.
Sandra Bullock is just casually watching Lolita while
I understand that at all.
Like
a long shot of Lolita is like playing.
And he's sick.
Yes, he's been puking in a champagne bucket.
She's watching Lolita on a boat.
There's another version of this movie which could have just starred Jason Patrick and the deaf
15-year-old girl.
And there would have been a...
Because remember the 15-year-old girl is like flirting with him from the from the word go.
Right.
There is a very lolita thing.
I was sexy that night.
Yeah.
When she leaves and gets separated.
Because for Adam.
Because it's all for Alex.
Yes.
And she's, so that's why she left.
She's trying to find him.
Well, Alex, no, your father goes, you look like a clown.
Get out of here.
She doesn't look like a clown.
She looks like a 12-year-old girl in a floral print dress.
Yeah, with a little more makeup than girls wearing.
And he sends her out.
He's like, get out of here, you cool.
Get out of here, deaf girl.
And the deaf girl.
He doesn't even bother to do it in sign language.
He just yells at her.
Well, everybody who signs in this movie also speaks exactly what they're saying.
Yeah, exactly.
I also want to point out that when she wakes up after watching Lolita and Jason Patrick is gone,
he's skeet shooting, and somehow she is woken up by the sound of his skeet shooting.
She has gotten such the worst cabin
on the boat that must be directed.
Right underneath the shotgun ribbon.
The bed in that cabin is not a full-size.
It's like a twin bed.
It's a twin bed that they're both sleeping on.
They're both sleeping on the bed.
That cabin looked like hell to me.
And it was, by the way, it was referred to as a sweet.
Sweet.
Guys, what can you expect on a suicide squad cop's salary?
That's true.
That's a good point.
And the other thing is, while he's ski shooting, who's watching him?
Willem Dafoe.
Just check.
Just like, oh, because they have to be in the same place at all times.
Oh, man.
Willem Dafoe, again,
have the way that he he could have gotten those diamonds got on the on the like the boats that left the boat and been fine
he could have done so many things he has a gun the entire movie and yet he's killing people by cutting the cords on the chains that are holding them like just like he's firing guns at the at the at the rope that's holding jason patrick to the ship like just fire the gun at jason patrick you're willing to murder everybody
rude goldberg contraction yeah like the moment where he like comes across Sandra Bullock and the captain guy, and they've got Jason Patrick tied to a rope, and Jason Patrick is underwater.
And he's like holding a gun on them, but then instead just flips a lever and hides.
And I was like, what are you doing?
Shoot those two people.
The only double-time.
And everything works out for you.
They let go of Jason Patrick.
He dies.
You kill them.
You have the diamonds.
Then you can fly.
But instead, he's like, I'm going to switch this liver.
And hope nobody notices me.
And hope that no, yeah, I'm going to hide over here.
I hope hope nobody notices me oh shoot they noticed me well crap I guess I'll take a hostage also by the way part of this movie relies on everyone being very easily able to get into the ship's cockpit everyone's able to walk right in there yeah there's no security in getting into that ship cockpit at any time william Willem Dafoe walks in As a drunk guy and they're like, oh, this drunk guy's up.
They give him a lot of latitude.
They let him hang out there for a good 20 minutes.
He falls on all the major controls.
He falls on all the major controls, puts all these different devices all over the central cockpit.
And then later on, when Alex comes in, Fake Keanu comes in, he starts shooting at the cockpit stuff.
Sure, yeah.
No one's ever being taken into a room.
Or they're like, hey, man, stay away from this cockpit.
This stuff's kind of important.
Hey, Paul, did you have the clip of Willem Dafoe attacking the captain?
That's the one that I wanted to play.
Yeah, that has my favorite line in the thing.
That was what we just were playing because it's the one where
it has the swinging lamp.
Yeah, that's what I thought the clip was.
Yeah, yeah, I would love it.
I would love to see it.
Let's just try it again.
Captain Pollard, good evening.
How can you be running the ship if you're not on the bridge?
Who is running the ship?
Oh, yeah.
I am.
Bonus, who are you?
I spent a great many years developing computer systems for these cruise lines, including this baby.
And then I got tossed away.
What are you talking about?
That's what really infuriates me.
You don't even know what I'm talking about.
How dare you?
Okay.
Yeah.
So that is my favorite line, which is, that's what really infuriates me.
You don't even know what I'm talking about.
That's not the favorite line.
The favorite line is the captain saying, how dare you?
How dare he?
What?
Insinuate that someone doesn't know what he's talking talking about?
That's what this script, or this movie obviously does not have a script, and they improv'd all these scenes.
And it's there's so much bad improv going on to where people are trying to heighten things that should not be heightened.
Do you think during this scene, and I hate to cut to later in the movie, but when Sandra Bullock, like, sort of
Sandra Biloxi Blues drives away in a jet ski, like sort of figures out how to detach her jet ski from Willen Defoe's jet ski.
Yeah, which is basically she pulls the lever that says detach jet ski.
She pulls one lever, and then he calls after her, wait, you're my hostage!
You're my hostage.
In this scene, the sound you're hearing inexplicably is Willem Dafoe is
swinging a stationary lamp back and forth that it has like a range of about three feet, as if it is itself a threatening object to the captain.
And as long as the captain stays within, I mean further than three feet away from him, Willem Defoe's just moving a lamp.
He could have just turned around and walked walked away.
Just literally walked away.
I'm not going over there.
There's that drunk guy from last night.
Goodbye.
It's as if the swinging lamp is like the deadliest of weapons.
And it's hypnotizing him to him closer.
And it does in fact lead to his death.
It does.
He gets knocked off because he got too close.
Conceptually, though, the first movie is interesting because you have a bus, it's out of control, people on it, they could die.
You know, it's, it's...
There's inherent tension.
Exactly.
This one,
first of all, you're following the wrong character because she doesn't, she's not a hero.
She doesn't do anything.
She doesn't do anything.
She doesn't punch.
You always are ready for her to be like, when is she going to deliver the punch?
When is she going to do it?
She does take out the chainsaw.
She does use the chainsaw.
She uses the chainsaw.
With Dante's hall.
But she basically is like, I'm on vacation.
Oh, this is happening again.
She puts a bikini on very quickly.
Very quickly.
She's in a bikini and a sarong, like, immediately.
Oh, wait.
Purple sunglasses.
One of my favorite
clothing.
She's way too tan.
Which he's been shooting for a while.
One of my favorite moments in the movie is Jason Patrick goes down to work underneath the boat, and he's like in this wet white shirt, and he rips it off, and then he runs into another room.
And then immediately the next scene, he's putting on like a black shirt.
Clearly, he did not want to be shirtless for like the second section of this movie.
So like they don't justify where that shirt came from.
Like it wasn't like he went back to his room or anything like that.
Like he just found a random new clean shirt that he
in case of emergency shirtless break glass.
Just right out of the box.
Good nice tight shirt.
Good shirt.
The weird thing about this movie conceptually though too is that the stakes keep on changing but not necessarily heightening.
So it's like you think you're where the boat's headed toward
on this course.
No, at first towards the island.
The cliffs.
Oh yeah.
Over the cliffs and that's pretty bad, but then it's headed to a tanker, tanker, which is also pretty bad.
It's like there's no men on the tanker, by the way.
The movie is just traps.
The movie is a series of traps.
Jason Patrick has no reason to do anything he's doing.
They can get off the boat.
What does he care?
What does he care other than this guy is breaking the law?
He is putting so many people in danger.
No, so many people
floods the ship.
He floods the ship while a deaf girl is down below simply because this guy is breaking the law and he needs to be caught.
What do you you care?
Because he's on the suicide squad.
That's what they do.
They put their lives at risk.
Yeah, it makes and the action is so boring.
It seems so.
Shot in slow motion, too.
Oh my god,
when it would cut to slow motion during action sequences, I would be like, this is horrible.
Well, there's also, I do think they ran into a problem with shooting the action, which is that the boat, even at moving like 17.6 knots, is still moving at a pretty slow pace.
There's nothing to show.
It's not in the water.
Yeah, there's nothing to show you how scalable.
There's nothing to show scale.
Like if they were to show a dolphin and it whizzing by a dolphin, it was like, oh my god, that's a fast boat.
Like maybe you would get something.
Yes, but the other problem too is like they have, as the boat gets closer and closer to land, they're sort of hitting this resort town and there are all these other just, you know, water.
Which, by the way, nobody notices.
Right.
Yeah, nobody notices.
Nobody's looking directly.
The cruise liner is coming right at them.
Like, people literally, the boat, like the giant ass cruise liner is four feet away, and they're like, oh, shit, I should move my boat now.
Oh, I got to jump off my boat.
You know, even people on the boat don't notice either.
But no one is jumping off the boat.
That's the other thing that I
think to ever jump off the boat.
People are more willing to jump off the twin towers than they are willing to jump off this boat in this movie.
It's too soon.
It's way too soon.
But no, but I felt the same way.
Like, when they were getting close to land, it's like, oh, that's shallow now.
Just jump off.
Just jump off.
There are water skiers out there.
Time out, time out.
I think what they tried to establish was that if you jumped and or fell off the boat, you get sucked into the propeller.
Sure.
So that's why people weren't jumping off the boat.
That's my belief.
And they're just hoping for the best that they're going to crash into, you know what I mean?
I don't know, man.
What would you do?
What would I have done?
Yeah.
I would have tried to find Willem Dafoe and punched him in the nose and been like, oh, I would have flooded the ship.
Flooded the ship.
There also is a lifeboat that you see hanging from ropes that that you could very easily get onto yeah at any point and cut off the rope but they can't look they can't they can't get the the i mean you could fall i guess in the lifeboat yeah no i mean yeah but that's high cut up that high like cut off
it's gonna float you're a coward yeah you are a coward how about you cut the ropes and then you jump in the water and you hold on to it how about when the woman how about when the deaf girl's mother is like our daughter's still in there our daughter's still in there and she tries to climb out and by climbing out knocks the balance of the lifeboat off
two people fall out get sucked into the the propellers, and die.
And then her husband goes, don't worry, it's not your fault.
It's not your fault.
It is 100%
your fault.
It's no one's fault but hers.
And every time Sandra Bullock and Jason Patrick reunite, like, which happens frequently, right?
They'll have their separate adventures and they'll reunite.
I genuinely feel like he would rather punch her in the face than kiss her.
I feel like he hates her.
I want to talk about two other lines that were.
I feel like he as an actor hates Sandra Bullock as an actor.
You feel like irritation.
There's no chemistry between these two.
Yeah.
The two lines that I love that are so.
Well, you know what?
We should play a clip between Sandra Bullock and the second clip here between Sandra Bullock and Jason Patrick.
Yeah, I'm fine.
I'm fine.
I'm fine.
What's happening?
Why did the shift start up again?
Why don't you leave me upstairs?
I know you have a a situation.
What?
What?
Geiger's taking over the ship.
Geiger, I'm not looking at my golf game, Geiger.
Why would he do that?
I don't know.
Where is he?
What?
He's everywhere.
He's everywhere.
He's everywhere.
By the way, I want to point out that when
the guy who gives everyone who takes everyone's luggage to their cabins, he knocks on Willem Defoe's door.
He walks in and sees a computer.
And he immediately realizes that this guy is a villain.
Oh my god, a computer in a cabin, guys.
What is this guy up to?
Also, why is the bellhop doing the turndown service?
The bellhop is not the same.
Those are not his dudes.
We also talk about, like, just to talk for briefly about the technology in this movie.
All of the
fiber optic converters.
Fiber optic converter is amazing.
But they were computer, all of the computer prompts were English.
They were like, the computer would ask him time to initiate, and he would type in now.
Like,
everything was like conversational.
Instead of clicking
on something, there was no commands.
There was no, like, it was just speaking to me.
Everything was conversational.
It made everything the computer did was like warning, we have a problem.
There's a guy in India he's communicating with.
It made me so furious.
Every screen would say stuff that was like literally as if the computer was talking language to the typer.
My favorite line of the whole movie is Alex confronts William Dafoe and
start calling him William.
Willem.
And Willem
and Willem goes,
he has something in his hand.
He goes, it's not a gun.
It's a computer.
Yeah.
And
he's wearing basically a Nintendo power glove.
And then he's like, okay, I'm going to just go drown right now.
And then he types in like some people.
It has the answer.
And then the walls start shutting.
And then the door, he has instant access to close individual doors on the boat with the with the with the Super Nintendo controller that he has strapped to his arm.
By the way, at that moment, Jason Patrick, I don't know if you noticed this, but fires the gun at him, is willing to murder him at this point.
Immediately.
Immediately willing to murder him.
Should be willing to murder him.
Well, he hasn't done anything at this point.
The only thing that he knows is that this guy is interested in getting his golf clubs on the ship, and it's weird that he is not watching the golf game on the TV.
And he set up some fake fires on the ship.
That's all he's done.
He's made people abandon the ship and set up fake fires.
He is going to straight up murder this man.
There's one line that I wanted to point out, which was Willem Defoe says to Alex, he says,
I don't know what it's referring to, but he says, I'm a smart guy, Alex, and even I know that.
I'm pretty sure the line should be, I'm a dumb guy, and even I know that.
Like, if you're a smart guy,
like, no, Doy, I know that.
As a smart guy, like, no doi, we all know that.
I think you are right, Scott, that they did not have a script because there's lines that make, they're so weird.
There's one opening shot, like after people have been hurt on the ship, a guy comes over and goes, here are some more giant towels.
And just like, what's the
more giant towels?
Here are some more giant towels.
John Devont being like, okay, you come over, you say something.
It probably says, go refer to those giant towels.
John, are you sure you want me to say something about
the USA giant towels, then the camera will very quickly move to see somebody else.
Like, there are
whip pans in this movie that are just like jarring.
Well, nothing makes sense.
Even the oil tanker that they're going to be crashing into, they're watching TV or movies about boats crashing into boats.
Oh, yeah, when they're on the
TV.
Yeah, they're watching.
They have their TV sets.
to the ironic channel that you see in so many movies.
It's like somebody in
an airplane disaster movie, movie, like, oh, yeah, I'm just watching this DVD of airplanes blowing up.
I'm really bummed I didn't get to, like, I bet if there's a Yan Devont commentary, I bet it's amazing.
Oh, my God.
I don't, I think he stopped working.
Like, he only made like two more movies.
Well, he became like a DP.
He was a DP.
No, he was a DP.
And then he became a PDF.
He went back to it back to the Playboy.
Oh, really?
Yeah.
He's like Rennie Harlan.
Like, Jan Devont and Rennie Harlan are like, to me, the same person.
They would have given him anything.
Foreign
directors who made a big splash and then kind of like shit.
Their second movie is the worst.
Yeah.
Leonard Part 6 was a movie he directed.
Oh, what?
Didn't he do?
He couldn't direct.
He couldn't directly direct.
Oh, Cinematov.
Thank the Lord.
Yeah, as a director, he only directed six movies.
Well, he did Speed and Twister, which were successes.
Yes.
The haunting Lara Croft Tomb Raider, The Cradle of Life, and he's in right now pre-production on Five Minutes to Live.
Oh, boy.
So he's back.
He's back.
He's, let's all get auditions for him.
Oh, this is it.
Two men conducting a bank robbery inform the manager she'll be killed unless she makes a money transfer within five minutes.
Sounds like speed two in a bank.
Yeah.
Also, that's a really short period of time for a movie.
That should be like a fun here or die short.
The five minutes to live.
Maybe it is a fun here.
Maybe it doesn't say.
A 90-minute movie that takes place within five minutes.
All right, let's talk about this boat.
The big scene at the end.
The big scene at the end.
The only reason for this movie to exist.
The 10-minute.
Did anybody time it?
Yes, it is right right now.
It's so long.
It is an eternity.
It feels like an eternity.
I guessed 10 minutes.
I wrote 10 minutes.
I guess infinity.
Shun, you want to take how long it is?
I'd say about 12 minutes.
Okay.
Well, it is a five-minute time.
It is a five-minute scene when it starts crashing.
When I think it starts hitting the dock.
Oh, okay, but there's a lot of lead up to that.
There is a lot of lead up, but I, yeah, I, okay, yes.
When the boat, what we're talking about is when the boat smashes into land.
Right.
They direct the boat into like a little.
There's got to be five minutes before that where they're like, we're going to crash, though.
No, no, there is.
That's when they're hitting all the boats.
And by hitting the boats, they're slowing down in explanation.
And by the way, they're dropping the anchor for the first time.
This is actually.
That was a brand new idea.
Yeah.
Oh, hey, what if we drop this header?
Oh, wait a minute.
Drop the other one.
Oh,
drop both at the same time, you fucking idiot.
It suck.
This movie, it cost $25 million to do this sequence.
Just the sequence.
Just the sequence.
What?
$25 million.
It took six months to build this town that they crashed through.
They built 35 buildings.
And then the boat,
basically the boat, it's the whole front of the ship.
And then they CGI'd in the back of the ship.
Runs through the entire town like on a track.
Thousands of people must have died.
Yeah.
You know what I mean?
Like hundreds of people were killed if this was real.
If it was real, but that's the point is like every single time it crashes into anything, it's like an episode of the A-team.
You see someone jumping out of the way.
Yes.
You know, every cliche.
No one dies in the movie.
Every cliche you could possibly ever see in this final boat, they're like, people having sex.
And they're like, the open clothes sign.
Oh, yeah.
Open clothes.
The guy like flips a clothes sign to open, sees the boat, flips it back to close.
The guy who has a brand new car is like, my car.
Which, by the way, I have Kulop's sister's son staying with us, who's two years old, and he was running around during this movie.
And, you know, it was a pretty grim viewing.
None of us were laughing at anything.
The guy says, my car, and then then the anchor drops into his car.
And then the dog.
He bursts out laughing.
Like, it's the funniest thing he has ever seen.
And he doesn't really understand comedy or anything, but he just knew the cadence that that was a joke.
That's amazing.
And I believe that guy was
a cameo from the first movie.
Like, he, I think, had his car
also destroyed in the first movie, I think.
It seems like.
In the sequence, we also follow that little dog.
By the way,
he's also coming out of a 7-Eleven, which is like in this weird island.
Like, it's everything's like really rustic, and then it's like this weird, like, you know, when the 7-Eleven paid for that at all.
But yeah, that little dog who we watched try to escape pops up out of that car and makes it in the end.
Thank God.
But the guy's not excited.
He wasn't like my dog.
He was like, I don't think I was just my wife.
The mom and the son who are looking at an apartment with a real estate dealer and the boat.
The cruise liner
plows right
their prospective home.
Like, those those people are without a doubt dead.
Oh, they jumped out of the way.
Nope, they jumped out of the way.
I was curious about those two because they're looking at an apartment in this resort town.
There's no father figure there.
I wanted to know about their stories.
Follow them.
Oh, and also, I want to point out that at one point, the ship knocks over a giant champagne bottle, and when it knocks it over, like champagne comes out of it.
Right.
As if they would make a giant sculpture of a champagne bottle.
And they're like, well, we got to fill this up.
We got to make this
seven like it's why aren't the young street toughs who live in this town like going and poking holes in this thing it's not like all water oh man oh i forgot about my favorite action sequence in the whole movie okay the turn the wheel sequence oh underwater turn the wheel the most boring action of all time basically jason patrick and this other guy dante
have to unscrew a wheel and they can only do it at 15 second intervals and they just keep on cutting back to them like turning it for like three turns and the other one comes out and turns it Then the other one comes out.
I wonder if Dante's camera got messed up.
You know, it was waterproof.
Oh, it was?
Oh, thank God.
Thank God.
Oh, thank goodness.
So the whole city is destroyed.
The ship stops.
It hits the bell on a church.
Everything is okay.
And the guy relatively okay.
Well, but first they plow into the city and the ship stops and we think everything's okay.
They would have killed so many people on the beach, let alone in every building they destroyed.
Oh, yeah.
The ship starts to fall over, too.
Oh, and that would have killed another 100,000 people, at least.
For sure.
And then they have to go back and basically Jason Patrick is like, jumps out the front window of the ship.
Which, by the way,
Willem Dafoe had left the ship on those dual jet skis that we all know and love
with Sandra Bullock probably three hours earlier.
Yes.
Jason Patrick jumps off this boat that's just crashed, gets into another boat, catches up with them in 90 seconds.
And he's like, I gotta find my girlfriend.
Time is pretty elastic in this movie, though.
Like, it's dinner time when the first when Willem Defoe, I think, starts the starts evacuating people, and then it's he goes on a walk through that ship, then they walk outside, and it's morning.
Yeah, it's like 11 a.m.
This is a dream.
The whole movie is
still walking.
That's true.
The whole movie is kind of just a dream.
It's like the movie is two hours and five minutes.
Yeah, it's a long time.
I lost my mind.
Wasn't this before before Titanic?
It was, yeah.
2007, I believe this was.
Which, you know,
sorry, not 97.
Titanic actually just, you know, shows you how a ship crashing, you can actually have tension because
there would be people drowning.
It was actually really good in telling you how people were going to die and be in peril in that movie.
Well, let's take a commercial break.
We'll be right back.

All right, so this movie, now we're in the final act here.
Wound to foes getaway.
Again, like now you're just like, when is this going to be over?
Like, what is this?
He also keeps taunting her about her vacation.
He's obsessed with the idea that she's on vacation because he says to her several times, enjoying your vacation?
Or he says, like,
how do you think your vacation is going to be different now that you're a hostage?
And he also says, you'll never get me, Spider-Man.
Do you think when he's first talking to her at the bar in that opening scene that that's what he was talking about?
Because I don't think we actually hear dialogue.
You're probably right.
She probably said, I'm on vacation.
Which, by the way, I don't mean to go back, but I feel like we skipped the worst dialogue in the movie.
Oh.
The
extended metaphor when he's about to ask her to marry him.
Where he's saying, can I order a la carte?
Well, no, you're going to have to order from the menu.
Well, what if I wanted to order something from you?
Well, it depends on what section you're sitting in.
How's the title?
You know, like,
am I going to get tipped?
How did they get lost in the middle of that?
Because it goes on forever.
I could not follow.
By the wind, everybody at the table is watching that.
Yeah.
And like, like listening.
Well, his final proposal, though, is no better.
When he says, do you want to wear this ring for a while?
And that's the worst
line I've ever heard.
By the way.
Props to whatever pants he was wearing because that ring.
That props to the pants.
That ring stayed securely in his
panties.
The entire movie.
He kind of shoves the ring in his pocket very early on.
He has been tossed out of windows.
He's been under the boat.
He's been fighting off diamonds.
I've never seen it.
It's not in a ring box.
It is in a ring.
No, it's a pouch.
It's just the ring.
It is in a pouch with like one clasp and open flash.
Which is not how, as a man who's proposed to a woman, you want to carry your ring.
Yeah, of course.
You want to be a little more sure of it.
Hey, you want to wear this for the rest of your life?
Or something?
No, do you want to wear this for a while?
Wow, wow.
And she goes, Do you want to shove this on your finger for a couple of weeks?
And she goes, for how long?
He goes, yeah, 50 years.
Like, that was his.
Like, We'll be dead.
She's a mummer.
That was probably.
What, you want us to die in?
He actively hates
to be married after we're dead.
He would rather, like, have his adventures than be with her or pretend that she's not.
She is in danger solely because of his actions.
She's in danger.
All they needed to do was get on the lifeboat.
Get on the boat.
Get on the lifeboat.
Get on that lifeboat.
And he's like, oh, wait a minute.
Something.
And she's like,
he's like, go over there.
Do that.
He literally throws her away like garbage.
Repeatedly.
Literally?
Literally.
Throws her away like garbage.
By the way, the only thing that they could really take from the first movie is that
famous line, which I'm going to butcher, but is that line that's like, you know, relationships that start in extreme circumstances don't work.
They said it about four times in the middle of the day.
He says it to the deaf girl when she tells him that she loves him and will be 15 soon.
Which they, at the very beginning of this movie,
the fact that she broke up, the fact that she broke up with Keanu Reeves proves that to be true, but they keep saying it like it's a cute thing from the movie.
No, they don't work.
Yeah, obviously.
Didn't work.
Did not work.
That's a bummer for those of us who saw the first movie.
And we're rooting for them.
I've heard that Yan Debont is making a speed 3,
but the characters in it are Jason Patrick and the 15-year-old girl.
They are.
That shot when that girl takes off her jacket.
Talks slow, yeah.
Talks slow.
Is
so upsetting.
And the sequence when they first make eyes at each other from across the
cross dining room.
What do you want her to do?
Make ears?
No, guys, it's a meet cute.
Jason Patrick, a grown man, has a meet cute with a 14-year-old girl from across the room.
He is more interested in chatting with her via sign language than talking to the woman he's having sex with
who's sitting next to him.
It is absolutely disturbing.
And then when he saves the little girl,
she basically is like, I want to be with you.
Lolita is already in the mix.
Wow, we've already laid down some tracks.
Jan DeBont is like, the real couple in this is the girl.
Well, but his response, like you said, is not like that's not appropriate.
That's not possible.
It's just like these aren't the right circumstances right now.
Yeah, he's keeping it alive.
He doesn't want to say it's speed three.
Speed three.
It's Lolita.
It's on an airplane.
But the airplane is, it's a commuter jet, and it only has 30 minutes to get to where it's going.
And then the saddest death scene of all time.
Like William Wilhelm, Defoe,
Wilhelm, Defoe's plane gets stuck on like an antenna.
Which is impossible.
Yes, totally impossible.
It gets stuck on an antenna.
Defying the laws of physics and of man.
100%.
Gas comes out and it explodes and it explodes up a giant tank.
Nothing in this movie, everything explodes here in this movie.
Like, they hit a sailboat at one point, and the sailboat explodes into a fire.
It's a fucking sailboat.
Where was the gas?
But then
you cut to a raft where the people who own the sailboat are like successfully.
Don't worry, they're fine.
They're fine.
They're okay.
But yeah, so it's the worst.
Wait, wait, my favorite one of those.
When they're right, when they're the boat is screaming through the, the, like where all the little boats are and stuff, running over boats, and there's a dude on like jet skis or a wakeboard, rather.
A dude on a wakeboard is being towed, and the boat cuts across, cutting the boat and the guy off.
And you just see in slow motion as the guy on the wakeboard jumps up and like clang hits right into the side of the side of the boat of the cruise liner
useless action to it useless and it's also like how did you not see this cruise liner this close
no one everyone's on their vacation um obviously we did not like this movie hippies get the hippies that remember the hippies the hippie boat oh the hippie boat with the tie-dye guys peace can i just say gotta be messing with my headman can we talk about the very end of the movie the last shot of the movie sure uh sandra bullock is back with tim conway she's in her driver's test again And they can't resist adding one more joke because
she drives off, it fades out, and you hear crash
from a bus.
Ostensibly, she is dead.
Yes.
She's like, yeah, you hear that crash.
And other innocent people are dead.
Yes.
So obviously, we did not like this movie, but
some people did.
So it's now time for a second opinion.
These are reviews culled from Amazon, five-star reviews.
I want to point out that one person who really liked this movie is Roger Ebert.
Siskel and Ebert gave this.
The only critics of the world.
The only critics.
This movie has a 2% on Rotten Tomatoes.
Roger Ebert says, movies like this embrace goofiness with a sensual pleasure.
Sensual, hold on, Roger Ebert.
And so on a warm summer evening, do I.
Ew.
Did he finger someone to this movie?
Grosso.
Yeah, that was that movie's the finger to speed to Cookie's Girl.
All right, so these are some reviews from Amazon.
This is from S.
LeMay.
Honestly, this movie is amazing.
I'll keep it brief and honest.
Patrick, better than Reeves.
Defoe, better than Hopper.
Bullock, better than Bullock.
What?
Five stars.
Amazing.
That's a joke review.
That's good.
Well, wait, wait, wait.
To be fair, he might be saying that she was better than Jim J.
Bullock's performance at first speed.
In the one where he gets raped in the van.
Yes.
This is another one from Ronnie Clay.
Now, these are written back in the day.
These are not new ones.
Okay.
America, y'all stupid for not loving this movie.
Look up the word talent.
It's better than Titanic, I'll say.
Hold up.
And he goes, it was fun trying to see those two guys turn the cruise ship hard to the right so it wouldn't crash into the other ship.
No.
What was really exciting was the cruise ship wouldn't stop once it reached the beach, and it kept on crashing into buildings and wrecking little boats.
Five stars.
Oh, God.
I would like to follow up with that person now and be like, do you know that this is what you were doing in 1997?
And finally,
Hammy Bigfan writes.
Hammy Bigfan.
Dude, this movie rocks.
It's got everything.
Sandra Bullock and boats.
That is why this movie is awesome.
Those are the only two things.
It's got everything.
Sandra Bullock and boats.
Is there another movie that has Sandra Bullock and boats in it?
He must have been disappointed by Hope.
The Lake House.
He loves it.
Hope Floats, right?
Or at least he was really upset by Hope Floats.
He's like, it seems like there should be Sandra Bullican somewhere.
There's the two things I love in this movie.
So those are some second opinions.

All right.
Now, would you even recommend anyone going to see this?
I don't know.
It's so long and so boring for long stretches of time that I would almost say no.
There is zero excitement in it.
I saw it opening day because I just saw every movie that came out back then.
And
I didn't remember any of it.
I watched this again with totally new eyes.
So there is not a single scene that is exciting.
I mean, nothing.
No, no.
Usually in a bad movie, there's one thing that you go, well, that was pretty cool.
Well, especially
an action movie.
Like, you would assume that at least some of the action will sell you on bad dialogue or bad whatever.
It's bloated.
It's bloated in every sense of it.
It's a waterlogged.
How about that?
Oh, water.
I'm taking over.
June, what do you say?
No?
I don't know.
I think it's kind of watchable.
It is long.
It's watchable in the sense of it's not like a b a, I guess, a boring movie.
I mean, I stopped it so many times that I was like, I fast-forwarded because I was like, this is like deadly.
Yeah, the actual, I don't know.
I would just be, I would say, if you want to watch it, just watch Speed One.
Yeah, Speed One's better.
Scott, this is a new feature we're going to do.
We'll see how this works.
What is your favorite bad summer movie?
Like a big blockbuster that you felt did not work?
Do you have any things?
That's really bad that I like?
Or yeah, bad that was like that, yeah, something you might recommend.
Like a Batman and Robin, a Wild, Wild West, anything like that that sticks out to you?
I love, you know, I love The Rock and Conair.
Those are actually like two really good ones to me.
I mean, Conair is not good.
No, Conair.
The Rock is technically a really good terror.
I really like The Rock.
The Rock is great.
Conair is great.
Conair is great while being terrible.
Yes.
I mean, it is like, I love that movie.
Back in the day when Mr.
Show was happening, we would go to
Mr.
Show.
We would go to movies.
Oh, we know how to do this guy, Mr.
Show, whatever.
We would go to movies dressed as whatever was happening in that movie.
So, Paul F.
Tompkins, John Matt, B.J.
Porter, and I went to see Conair dressed as convicts in prison jumpsuits.
That's amazing.
That's amazing.
Oh, man, Conair.
We should watch that.
That would be a fun one to talk about.
That's actually really good.
We have to get back to Nicolas Cage.
I'm a little worried.
It's been a while.
Vincent's got Talks in Cage.
Scott, you have a brand new show on IFC coming up, which I'm sure you started.
This is Friday at 10 p.m., Comedy Bang Bang.
This Friday, we have Zach Alfanakis in it, Will Forte, Andy Daly, Gillian Jacobs, myself, Reggie Watts.
But every Friday at 10, but I hope people watch it.
It's going to be great.
So if you like the podcast, you'll love the show.
And even if you hate the podcast, I think you'll still like the show.
Hey, look, yeah, you made it.
Look, I get it.
Yeah.
You're open to anybody liking the show.
Sure.
Yeah.
I understand.
Watch it.
Just watch it.
Decide whether you hate it or not, but just watch it.
Yeah, guys, watch it.
By all means, let me know if you hate it immediately.
Just to get on a message.
She's just going to tweet at you how much they dislike what you're doing.
What's the best thing about Twitter?
It's like everyone has your email.
All right, so definitely watch Comedy Bang Bang on IFC.
June, anything you'd like to talk about?
No.
What about Burning Love?
You're great in that.
Oh, I forgot.
Burning Love is a web series I did with Ken Marino, Janet Varney.
It comes out this weekend.
It comes out this Monday,
January 4th, January 4th, June 4th on yahoo.com.
Yeah, and burninglove.com as well.
Yes, I've seen it.
It's really funny.
It's really, really funny.
If you like The Bachelor and The Bachelorette, you will like this a lot.
Jason, you're still in the dictator.
I'm still in the dictator.
They have not cut me out.
When does that happen?
Because I'm waiting for you.
Three weeks in.
Three weeks in.
They're going to cut my part out completely.
Yeah, go see the dictator.
It's in theaters now.
I am on a movie that just came out on Friday on Video and Demand and in 75 movie theaters called Piranha 3 Double D.
I didn't know it came out.
Oh, this Friday.
Oh, I'm sorry.
I'm sorry.
So, Prime, if you wanted to see what happened to my character and how I became friends with Ving Rames in the sequel,
you have to wait till about 30 minutes into a 65-minute movie.
But you can watch it.
65-minute movie.
It's pretty short.
It's pretty short.
It's, I think, 70-something minutes all told.
And there's about 12 minutes of bloopers.
I do think that Piranha 3 Double D has one of the best lines in history spoken.
I will not give it to you, but you can watch it.
Said by Katrina Bowden from 30 Rock.
Will you do a podcast about that movie?
Do you think?
I feel like
I'm staying away from your own project.
I feel like I would get in trouble on some level if I did that.
I'm excited.
I'm going to get that VOD.
VOD.
It will not be in 3D, but there are plenty of boobs.
Plenty of boobs.
Plenty of boobs.
There you go.
I like at least three per person.
It's all like a total recall.
It's all three boobs.
