Jake Speed Reviews:
Jake Speed 
2009-03-02 - If you ever wanted to see a movie that comes straight from the headlines or a book you read for fun, then this is it! The movie is action packed but lots of fun. Our family once owned a Willy's Jeep Station Wagon less the upgrades shown in the movie! Jake Speed, what an original name for the main character! It is a movie similar to the Indiana Jones movies that became great box office attractions! One of the messages in the movie and all movies have a message is that regardless of how bad things get if you believe you can make them better, you can! Yes, when you are down you can get back on your feet and be back on top again! It is all up to you! I would recommend this movie strictly for entertainment but as you watch it you will find that it is also a fun movie! I say if you haven't seen it please do! You will be glad you did!
Entertaining Action Flick 
2009-01-28 - Being a big fan of both 80s movies and adventure series like The Destroyer, I'm surprised I only recently discovered this movie.
Wayne Crawford is Jake Speed, the hero in a series of action novels. Unlike Remo Williams and Mack Bolan, Jake Speed's books are based on his real adventures. If there's an easy way to solve a problem, Jake will look for a more exciting alternative. Makes for a better story.
It seems the story and locations may have been affected by a limited budget, but this is a well-written and fun story. Mark Snow did the soundtrack - finally on CD!
If you've ever enjoyed The Executioner, The Destroyer, or any of the action-adventure serials, buy this DVD. You'll find yourself watching it more than once.
Thumbs up!
2008-03-05 - This was a movie I loved when I was a teenager and had been looking for it for a long time. This was the first time I found it and am very happy with my purchase. I got it a day later than was expected but we had just had a bad snow storm the day before so the delay was understandable.
A great, goofy, fun adventure!
2007-09-19 - Jake Speed is a really fun and cute adventure movie, and with a great actor like John Hurt playing the bad guy, and a really cute Karen Kopins as the lead actress, it is a lot of fun, a cute and fun adventure with some good humor, and I recomend this to anyone who like a fun and funny action/adventure movie, or to those who like movies such as Shanghai Noon or Knight's, other Jackie Chan movies, Ice Pirates, and movies like this, and if you like these you will really enjoy Jake Speed!
i can't tell you why,but i have loved this movie from the first time i saw it
2006-05-22 - this is one of those movies i saw in the blind( knew nothing about it just sat down and watched it) and i was suprised at how much i liked it.
jake speed is a pulp fiction charter(like bond,mack bolan,and others.) when her sister is kidnapped a young woman does as her grandfather asks and calls jake speed,and what do you know,he's real and will help find her sister.
i know a very slim story but the cast makes the most and more of it to come up with this great spoof of pulp novels,action movies,and anything else it can think of. a great comedy,drama,action movie,and even a little romance thrown in. if you give it a chance i think you might like it.
