Goofs:

Continuity: During the start of the movie, the train only has one locomotive. While in the collision scene, the train clearly has three at least. This is because the editors spliced in footage from 'Runaway Train' ca. 1985 to cut down on production costs. The collision scene, and most of the shots of the train moving across the landscape are taken from that movie.

Movie Connections:

Edited from Runaway Train (1985)

Final Stand

A ok film but if it wasn't for Arnold Vosloo it wouldn't have been as good.

The film is OK. If it wasn't for Arnold Vosloo and the train scenes this film wouldn't have been a good one. Though I didn't think the nudity was needed but it seemed after that part the film really began. Vosloo put on a great performance and his Russian accent was really good. The other two villains were good and had big potential but the film never gave them a chance to be real bad guys. The music was really good and it could have been in a blockbuster film. Overall like I said the film after close to an hour or so the film really began after the nude scene with some good action especially the bald bad guy scene on top of the train. If you like Arnold Vosloo and train action then see this film soon!
