“So Speed: Tokyo Drift”: Fans troll as Netflix drops the trailer for Japanese film 'Bullet Train Explosion'

Shinji Higuchi's new film is about to be released on Netflix, based on a thrilling narrative about a bomb implant on a public transport which is triggered by the reduction of the train's speed beyond a certain level.. No, Keanu Reeves and Sandra Bullock's film Speed is not re-releasing on Netflix. It's a Japanese film called Bullet Train Explosion.

Yes, you read that right, Japan might be doing what the U.S did already but on a much bigger scale. A new trailer was recently released for the Japanese film Bullet Train Explosion, and the plot is eerily similar to the 1994 classic action thriller Speed.

In the movie Speed, an extortionist plants a bomb on a city bus to explode if the speed of the bus drops below 50 miles per hour. Japan decided to use the same plot but upped the thriller meter. Instead of the city bus, the main character of the film Bullet Train Explosion will be, well, a bullet train.

"Seeing the title and expecting a sequel to Bullet Train... That was a massive letdown"

User @Radioman1017 also added this funny comment,

"How do you say "Speed" in Japanese?"

Japan may be making a movie on an American concept, but one thing is worth anticipation by the audience: their execution of the action sequences. Taking a similar concept from somewhere is easy, but doing justice in execution is the real task. Japan will likely do wonders with that too.
