As a script doctor in Hollywood, it was often Whedons job to look at the screenplays that someone else had written, and make them better without getting credited for it. Speed is the first of those scripts that was made into a film with a good chance that youve actually heard of it. Although his work wasnt credited by 20th Century Fox on the final product, it has to be noted that that the writer who was, Graham Yost, freely admitted that Whedon wrote 98.9 percent of the dialogue. Perhaps being uncredited isnt all bad however, as the film led to Yost later being referred to in Hollywood as the Bus Guy.
Although it isnt known as a film he was involved with, Speed is one that everyone remembers fondly. Back in 2001 Whedon himself stated that it was one of the few movies Ive made that I actually like, but if you want praise from a more objective writer/director though, then that comes from Quentin Tarantino. The noted cinephile placed it on his list of top 20 favourite films, which, containing entries from all over the globe, makes Speeds appearance even more illustrious.
