3) Rush Hour

The above image may not look like anything special, but it introduces one of the most important features of Speed: the orchestral track “Rush Hour.” The core theme of the tune is a simple six-note composition that appears in most of the action scenes. Therefore, it plays during most of the movie, and is as much a part of what makes Speed great as its four-wheeled or two-legged stars. Every time it shows up, it’s like a commercial jingle that’s telling you “look at this/it’s awesome!” Toast with: A Bramble, the namesake of which will be stuck to you like “Rush Hour.”
