‘Speed’Bill Simmons

Keanu Reeves - felt he benefited most, though notes Keanu was already a star; considers him possibly his favorite action star ever

‘Speed’Chris Ryan

Sandra Bullock - picks her as the winner, citing her ability to convincingly convey emotion and stress, making the movie work

‘Speed’Sean Fennessey

Did not clearly state a pick for who won the movie; engaged in comparing Keanu to other action stars (Stallone, Cruise) but no definitive personal pick given

‘About Last Night’Bill Simmons

Demi Moore — Demi (Moore)

‘About Last Night’Chris Ryan

Belushi

‘The Italian Job’Bill Simmons

Ed Norton - funniest performance to revisit

‘The Italian Job’Chris Ryan

Ed Norton and Charlize Theron, seeing them pre-superstardom

‘The Italian Job’Craig Horlbeck

The Mini Coopers (first inanimate object to win the movie)

‘The Karate Kid Part II’Bill Simmons

Agrees with Kyle, going with Peter Cetera; notes zero votes for Ralph Macchio

‘The Karate Kid Part II’Kyle Brandt

Peter Cetera (the 'Glory of Love' song/theme) - argues the song is what's remembered more than the movie itself

‘Obsession’Bill Simmons

Calls it a tie between Mia Goth (Indy/Curry) and MaXXXine/actress vs. director Osgood Perkins, comparing it to Sixth Sense debate; ultimately leans toward the actress (Indy) having a star-making moment like Scarlett Johansson in Lost in Translation, but says it's genuinely a tie between director and actress

‘Obsession’Craig Horlbeck

Frames it as 'who would you rather be' professionally; argues the actress's risk is higher since one bad movie could end her run, while the director could survive a couple bad films more easily, but ultimately credits the actress's performance as career-making
