Speedster

About This Movie

Speedster (1992) is this intriguing little gem that mixes the chaos of mistaken identities with a cheeky take on relationships. The plot revolves around Wallice, a television screenwriter, and Savannah, a young starlet, whose phone books get swapped. What unfolds is this whirlwind of comedic and sexual situations that, while it has a certain raunchiness, feels very much like a product of its time. The pacing doesn’t take itself too seriously, and you get a sense of spontaneity in the performances. The atmosphere is playful, almost mischievous, capturing that early '90s vibe. It's distinctive not just for its premise but also for how it embraces the absurdity of the characters' predicaments.

Speedster has had a mixed presence in the collector's market, often overshadowed by more mainstream titles from its era. It saw a limited VHS release, making original tapes relatively scarce—though some DVD releases have surfaced over the years. Despite its obscurity, it garners interest from those who appreciate niche comedies and the playful tone of early '90s films. Collectors often seek it out for its quirky premise and that unique snapshot of the era's cinematic style.
