Smiley's a crazy poker buddy (as transcribed)

  • The 'they knew' bit is skipped because there is really one person, 'Smiley's a crazy poker buddy' as the transcript has it, which reads as Smiley's crazy poker buddy, really feeling it and ratcheted up, as if Antoine told him to go up two more levels and passed him some of the PCP, out of control.
  • The white kid in the driver's seat of the Volkswagen Beetle, apologizing, was really solid and is thought to be Fran Kranz, Joss Whedon's guy.
  • Denzel has no chance of landing in the overacting category, even though he draws out the diner scene and the two-gun scene feels like an Oscar play; the diner is the only case to make, since the character was not fully figured out and he is doing the Jay Pharoah version of Denzel with all the tics rather than just being Alonzo.

  • The film reportedly won Oscars for sound editing and sound mixing.
  • Reeves reportedly performed ninety percent of his stunts, including a secretly practiced Jaguar-to-bus jump that surprised the director. — Bill Simmons
  • The surprise-jump story is challenged as publicity exaggeration because a shot requires coordination; doing the jump itself remains believable.
  • Going under the bus is rejected as something Reeves did himself; even at five miles per hour, he could die.
  • An original script reportedly revealed Harry as the villain; the betrayal is enthusiastically welcomed as a remake possibility.
  • Joss Whedon is credited with script-doctor dialogue, including Gigantor.
  • Bullock reportedly learned to drive a bus and is praised as convincing behind the wheel.
  • River Phoenix’s death during filming reportedly led to easier scenes being scheduled while Reeves grieved. — Bill Simmons
  • The highway filming is placed on the 105 and 110 freeways. — Bill Simmons
  • Early visual effects reportedly supplied the freeway gap; footage of the actual stunt shows the bus collapsing on landing. — Bill Simmons
  • The bus jump reportedly was absent from the script until the director saw unfinished freeway and proposed it. — Bill Simmons
  • The practical jump reportedly rose twenty feet, traveled 109 feet, and overshot onto a camera. — Bill Simmons
