Keanu Reeves winks in A Reasonable Speed with Jimmy Kimmel

The Fast and Furious franchise is best known for its bombastic car chases, massive explosions and ridiculous stunts - but what if the drivers abided by the highway rules?

In a sketch for his late night show, Jimmy Kimmel - with guest Keanu Reeves - poke fun at Vin Diesel’s motor series by starring in A Reasonable Speed.

Produced by the "California Highway Patrol”, the fake trailer sees Reeves chasing down Kimmel in a luxury sports car while keeping to the speed limit and making sure to look both ways before crossing any junction.

“Slow down, 20 is plenty,” shouts Reeves as the comedian attempts to speed off. Watch below.

As the chase ‘heats’ up, the pair come to a speed bump which Kimmel races across, while the Speed actor can’t quite muster the courage to make it over.

If you’ve ever watched a Fast and Furious film you’ll appreciate how over the top absolutely everything is.

Keanu Reeves is promoting his film, the ‘erotic horror’ Knock Knock, released in UK cinemas in June.
