17) Tape Delay

Part of the reason Speed holds up so well is that its simplicity has helped to age-proof it. The relevant setting and tech haven’t changed all that much in two decades, so you could feasibly make the same movie today (please, don’t). The major exception is Jack’s solution to Payne’s surveillance, which relies on VHS tapes and a UHF signal. A remake would no doubt involve smart phones and hacked livestreams, so the inclusion of videotape and local broadcasts waves is what keeps Speed a product of the ‘90s. Toast with: An Old Fashioned.
