"There is man who is trying to collect every single copy of the 1994 Keanu Reeves movie Speed on VHS. Seriously. It&amp;#039;s a news story that you seriously couldn&amp;#039;t make up. Ryan Beitz is attempting to find every copy of the action movie classic and currently has over 500 tapes in his collection.  Beitz has been profiled on Vice, giving his campaign a huge boost in support and alerting the film&amp;#039;s original screenwriter Graham Yost to his efforts. Speaking to Entertainment Weekly about Beitz&amp;#039;s efforts, the writer said: &amp;quot;I am going to see if I can dig up a copy or two to send to him. Other than world peace and ending hunger, I can think of no greater cause than what this one brave and visionary man has embarked upon.&amp;quot; Beitz has also launched a Kickstarter campaign to convert a van he has purchased into a replica of the bus from the movie. His campaigning has already raised an impressive $2,500.  The Kickstarter campaign explains: &amp;quot;After purchasing its very own bus in 2012, the World Speed Project now seeks to have it painted like the runaway bus in the film. &amp;quot;It is the goal of The World Speed Project\u00E2\u201E\u00A2 (WSP) to obtain every available VHS copy of the hit 1994 action/adventure film Speed, starring Keanu Reeves, Sandra Bullock, Dennis Hopper, Jeff Daniels, and Joe Morton. Currently, the collection is at over 500 copies (we haven&amp;#039;t counted in awhile; it&amp;#039;s boring). &amp;quot;To this end, the WSP purchased its very own bus in 2012 with the express purpose of converting our bus into a small scale replica of the bus in the film Speed.  &amp;quot;This bus will be used for a national tour wherein the WSP will display the collection at gallery showings, county fairs, DIY punk basement shows, collector&amp;#039;s conventions, and the like; as well as hunt for VHS copies hidden all over the U.S. and World.&amp;quot; Do you know what we really want to do now? Watch the movie Speed. "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
