Hey, if anyone's looking for a good Japanese action movie to watch, I HIGHLY RECOMMEND the 1975 movie The Bullet Train, starring Ken Takakura and Sonny Chiba. Basically, it's about a terrorist group who's planted a bomb onboard a bullet train, and the bomb will go off if the train goes under 80 km/h (50 MPH). So yeah...it was Speed before there was Speed.
