History Recap / FilmRerollSpeed

* IAmNotLeonardNimoy: Averted in the podcast itself, but its descrption -- as shown above -- lists the players as portraying Creator/KeanuReeves, Jeff Daniels and Creator/SandraBullock, not Jack, Harry and Annie. [[OriginalCastPrecedent (Granted, they ''do'' try to make impressions of the original actors.)]]

* PoesLaw: Jocelyn mentions that the first time she watched Film/{{Speed}}, she thought Creator/KeanuReeves did a great job parodying the classic ActionHero. Only later did she realise that no parody was intended on his part.

Starring Kara Strait[[note]] credited as “Pitr Strait” [[/note]] as "[[IAmNotLeonardNimoy Keanu Reeves]]," Jon Miller as "[[IAmNotLeonardNimoy Jeff Daniels]]," Jocelyn "Joz" Vammer as "[[IAmNotLeonardNimoy Sandra Bullock"]] and Paulo Quiros as the Dungeon Master.

* NiceJobBreakingItHero: Jack and Harry decide to disobey their orders and get the prisoners out of the elevator, [[WhatAnIdiot even though Payne had threatened to blow up the bomb if anyone tried to do that.]] He is true to his word, and five of the twelve prisoners end up dying because of our protagonists' actions.

-->'''Harry''': Hey, Jack, [[HoYay let's go into the bathroom, wet our shirts-]]
-->(Paulo and Joz begin laughing violently)
-->'''Kara''': [[SarcasmMode "Hey, Jack, let's go into the bathroom, suck each other's dicks]] ''[[SarcasmMode real]]'' [[SarcasmMode quick, just to release the tension..."]]

-->'''Jack''': [[SarcasmMode "Hey, Jack, let's go into the bathroom, suck each other's dicks]] ''[[SarcasmMode real]]'' [[SarcasmMode quick, just to release the tension..."]]

* OffTheRails: This is arguably ''the'' best example of Film Reroll doing this, as this campaign doesn't even get to the ''actual meat'' of the movie, as it only covers the ''prologue'' before it ends.

** For some reason, Payne has now only taken 12 people hostage, not 13.

* JustifiedTitle: While the title's original meaning no longer applies as the whole bus part never happens, [[SpeedRun it still fits the campaign due to its short length.]] It's not even an hour long -- which is far less than the actual film -- and that includes the pre-game introduction ''and'' the post-game discussion.

** For some reason, Payne has now only taken 12 people hostage, not 13. This might simply be an example of WritersCanNotDoMath.

* TooDumbToLive: The whole campaign gets [[OffTheRails irreparably derailed]] when Kara gets impatient with how long the situation with the elevator is taking and impulsively decides to enter despite ''both'' Paulo and Jon telling her to not do that. The second she does? [[NiceJobBreakingItHero the explosives are set off.]]

->''We play through Film/{{Speed}}! Pitr saves some lives. Jon goes to the bathroom to wet his shirt. Jocelyn waits for a bus.''

Episode 8 of Podcast/FilmReroll.

Two police officers - [[Creator/KeanuReeves Jack]] and [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jeff_Daniels Harry]] - have been sent on a mission to stop a terrorist who has trapped twelve hostages in an elevator and rigged it to explode. Can our heroes stop him without letting him blow them up or get away? And how will [[Creator/SandraBullock Annie]] - a seemingly normal woman who's just waiting for her bus - get involved in all of this?[[note]] [[NotHisSled As it turns out, not at all.]] [[/note]]

* AdaptedOut: Despite being a major character in the film, Annie never shows up, because Howard Payne is now defeated before her introduction. [[LampshadedTrope Lampshaded]] when, at the very end of the podcast, Jocelyn asks if she can roll to see if she gets on the bus or not.

* BittersweetEnding: The day has been saved, but the actions of our protagonists' accidentally led to the deaths of five innocent people, and they might get fired from their jobs for disobeying orders. Though it's also possible that they get to keep their jobs after all, since their actions led to Payne being stopped and arrested.

* IAmNotLeonardNimoy: Averted in the podcast itself, but its descrption - as shown above - lists Pitr Strait, Jon Miller and Jocelyn Vammer as playing Creator/KeanuReeves, Jeff Daniels and Creator/SandraBullock, not Jack, Harry and Annie.

* PoesLaw: Jocelyn mentions that the first time she watched Film/{{Speed}}, she thought Creator/KeanuReeves did a great job parodying the cassic ActionHero. Only later did she realise that no parody was intended on his part.

* RidiculouslyHumanRobot: After Jon Miller does a Creator/JeffGoldblum impression, the other players point out how both of them laugh like a robot that has been taught to laugh in binary code. [[HughMann Jon then points out that he, Jon Miller 1.27,]] [[SuspiciouslySpecificDenial is most definitely a human that enjoys human jokes.]] (According to the other players, [[LampshadeHanging he still has some bugs left,]] [[PsychoPrototype but at least he is better than Jon Miller 1.26,]] [[DisposableVagrant who killed many homeless people.]] [[NoodleIncident They don't talk about him.)]]
** [[HilariousInHindsight Ironically, Jon Miller would go on to play the Tin Man]] in their ''[[Film/TheWizardOfOz Wizard Of Oz]]'' campaign.

* SparedByTheAdaptation: Everyone Payne killed after the prologue, including Harry. [[InvokedTrope Invoked]] by Jon Miller, who made it his mission to live through the campaign.
** Also, Payne himself is simply knocked out and arrested, unlike the movie where he was decapitated.
* TakeAThirdOption: At one point, our heroes come to the conslusion that Payne must be hiding in the basement, before changing their mind and deciding that he is probably in an elevator. Turns out that he's hiding in an elevator... [[BreadEggsBreadedEggs currently located on the basement floor.]]

** Really, this happens to [[spoiler: every character originally introduced after the prologue.]]

* AdvertisedExtra: Jocelyn Vammer is credited as being part of the main cast, even though [[IAmNotLeonardNimoy "Sandra Bullock"]] [[spoiler: never actually appears in the campaign. She still makes some comments out of character, though.]]

* BittersweetEnding: [[spoiler: The day has been saved, but the actions of our protagonists' accidentally led to the deaths of five innocent people, and they might get fired from their jobs for disobeying orders. Though it's also possible that they get to keep their jobs after all, since their actions led to Payne being stopped and arrested.]]

* ChromosomeCasting: An unintentional side effect [[spoiler: of ending the story early. The only explicitly female character in the campaign is the unnamed lady who almost dies by falling through the elevator floor.]]
* DeathByAdaptation: In the movie, Jack and Harry [[spoiler: were able to save all of the hostages from the elevator.]] Here, [[spoiler: five of them don't make it out in time and end up falling to their death.]]

* ProlongedPrologue: ExaggeratedTrope. The prologue is long enough to fill a whole episode, [[spoiler: and it ends with the villain being captured, making it pointless to continue the story.]]

* SequelHook: Sort of. The group have said that in five years or so, they might make ''Speed 2'' [[spoiler: using the rest of the film's plot. Whether the actual [[Film/Speed2CruiseControl Speed 2]] will become ''Speed 3'' is unclear.]]

* SparedByTheAdaptation: [[spoiler: Everyone Payne killed after the prologue, including Harry. [[InvokedTrope Invoked]] by Jon Miller,]] who made it his mission to live through the campaign.
** [[spoiler: Also, Payne himself is simply knocked out and arrested, unlike the movie where he was decapitated.]]

* WeWillMeetAgain: Not outright quoted, but it is said that [[spoiler: Payne might return in a future campaign to get revenge on Jack.]]
