When I watched "The Bullet Train" at a Japanese movie theater in 1975, I didn`t recognize that minitures of bullet trains were used in this footage. It`s quite amazing!
Taken out of context, if you know anything about the pressure drivers are under to stay on schedule over there, this clip feels like it could be just another day on Japan's rails. XD
Ordered the Blu-ray off the back of this clip and the original trailer - was not disappointed. I'm surprised that a 2h 30 movie could be this suspenseful and gripping the whole way through. Also, the miniatures are fantastic and the shots of the 0 Series are gorgeous.
CGI can very well compete with models if done right. But the Bullet Train movie with Brad Pitt, although based on a Japanese novel, was a film made by American filmmakers for an American audience, both of whom have zero clue about trains, consequently it was totally unrealistic (trains dashing through tight corners, people standing on top of the train next to the high-voltage catenary, trains occupying the same track with ATC apparently doing nothing, one train miraculously lifting up another and with no severe structural damage to itself, and so on and so forth).
@@DaneelroPerhaps the real question is: Did David Leitch, the director of Bullet Train, even wanted realism in the first place? Given the cartoonish and outlandish tone of the story and action, realism doesn't seem to bother him that much in the first place.

We shall all bow before the winner of this race to the bottom… Or maybe wait for Portugal and Italian entries. But I’m pretty sure someone stole the tracks to resell the scrap metal and nobody even noticed schedules got worse than they already were… Thanks neocapitalism, thanks the European Union, you sure can turn anything to sh1t better than a pig bowel movement …
At the time, the Japanese National Railways refused to cooperate in filming a Shinkansen explosion movie, and as a result miniatures were used in the filming. In Japan, when it comes to special effects, the image of Toho is strong, and its rival, Toei, was not very good at special effects.
I don't understand a whole lot of Japanese or know about trains or BulletTrains but I do know that you're not supposed come flying through a junction exchange at a million miles per hour lol
You'd certainly never guess that they used models rather than the real thing could you 😁 Actually, I presume it must have been made with at least some cooperation from Japan Rail, perhaps proving that they do have a sense of humour 😁
Trivia: The Japan National Railroad refused to cooperate with this film for understandable reasons. I assume that all the footage was shot without their permission.
So this is a film about a train that has to keep its speed below 80kph, and if its speed drops below 80 a bomb goes off? Should have been called The Train That Couldn't Slow Down!
............ A Japanese disaster film from the 1970's............. about a bullet train?........ This literally could have been a parody in a Mel Brooks film.
There was a device on the train, if It went under 80 kilometres per hour, it would explode. It’s similar to Speed, which is a film that came out later.
So after nearly dying in a fiery crash his next big concern is that he'll slow down too much and be late? That's Japan! (yeah, I know. I just don't care. Can't argue with the results, can you? Britain should do it too.)
When I watched "The Bullet Train" at a Japanese movie theater in 1975, I didn`t recognize that minitures of bullet trains were used in this footage. It`s quite amazing!
The care that went into those miniatures is quite amazing. Just look at the catenary wires. Must have been quite the project to build
i only noticed when it went over the switch
Yah it's very obvious on small screen like in 0:58 the trains are wigly
Practical effects and minimal CGI did look amazing. That's how 2001 Space Odyssey & First Star Wars Trilogy remain classic.
I look at model trains a lot so I immediately feel something is off during the Shinkansen footages
Taken out of context, if you know anything about the pressure drivers are under to stay on schedule over there, this clip feels like it could be just another day on Japan's rails. XD
Best comment hands down
That Series 0 Shinkansen looks gorgeous.
Indeed looks beautiful
I think it's the most beautiful train ever made and always will be.
many of these shots look like miniatures. wonderfully constructed miniatures.
@@wassuphomies263 they are
@@TiJayFLY i love them.
that train is over 60 years old and still looks futuristic and better than the newest trains in America
America has new trains? I thought they are all just diesel freight trains
So instead of complaining how miserable you are in the US why not move to Japan?
@@xzaber1373 im not american tho, i just like making fun of the US
@@drkreuzer670 What's the point of doing that? Anyway, I was asking the question from FalconsEye58094.
There is nothing wrong with wanting things in your own country to be better like it is elsewhere.
I think some of the 60s and 70s Japanese movies were seriously ahead of their time.
すごい、この映画見てなかったのを後悔するくらい当時の特撮合成技術がすごい。

Now I know where The Simpsons got its inspiration for the monorail episode... Right down to the uniforms and gloves...
1:21 "The lever you have pulled...”brakes”....is not in service. Please make a note of it. "
It would be nice if they referenced where the inspiration was from during the episode. Like a text box in the corner or a shoutout.

Still a better movie than the recent Bullet Train one with Brad Pitt! CGI can never compete against real models!
Why are you comparing the two? Other than that they're both set on a bullet train, they don't have anything in common?
They're entirely different movies
CGI can very well compete with models if done right.

Bullet Train in 2022, is much better in terms of writing, comedy and the choice of incorpating Thomas the Tank Engine.
映画がフィクションだと理解できていない人がいるな。
そういう人のために映画の最後には「この物語はフィクションであり、登場人物。その他の名称は架空のもので実在のものとは何ら関係ありません」とでるんだけどな。
フィクションを見るならあなたの世界の新幹線と物語の中の新幹線が違うことくらい理解しようぜ。
ドラマや映画にのめり込むのは分かるけど、仮想と現実がごちゃごちゃになるのは変
There's a O series Bullet at York. It's enormous 😊
英国ヨークの博物館で新幹線🚅見て感動しました。子供の頃那珂川市の車両基地に自転車で見に行ってずらり並ぶ0系新幹線は壮観でした。1980年頃の出来事。
Still a lot more efficient and safe than the american railway system, thats for sure!
And more advanced even back in 1975 than the Australian rail system is today. 👍
Better than the Australian and American..
ミニチュア特撮のレベルが高い。東映すごい
I love the line :
Don't panic,
Try again .
I mean. What else are you gonna tell them? It's fine the bomb might kill some but you're going slow enough that it won't be too bad of a wreck?

Blimey that was close
Train Model Nice
on the TV in 460 and this picture looked great

The lever you have pulled, ‘BRAKES’, is not in service. Please make a note of it.
Looks great, probably should have shot the miniatures at high frame rate, when you play it back it adds mass
当時小学生で 劇場で見ました☺️
昨日アマプラのレンタルで見ました
If a train switched to the other track using the points at that speed, I'm pretty sure it would derail.
That was 1975 and Japan had bullet trains, my goodness. (bullet started in 1964).
The original "Speed".
Oglądałem ... ciekawy film
That's amazing. Did they use O scale or what?
In germany it happens all the time....and nearly with every train.😬
I don't understand a whole lot of Japanese or know about trains or BulletTrains but I do know that you're not supposed come flying through a junction exchange at a million miles per hour lol

Why do i have vibe from movie Speed. I guess Speed was made on this story, only instead of train, you have bus.
If one of the commentor hadn't mentioned it, I would've never guessed they were showing miniature models
"I call the big one Bitey" 😂
実際の鉄道では、正面衝突を防ぐ為に、ポイントは逆向きになっているから、
この映画のように、走りながら転線する事は出来ないんだよね（笑）
The Japanese version of Speed
Speed is the American version of The Bullet Train.
Seen this movie . Loved it as a rail enthusiast 😊
Шикарный фильм
0:23 - Yep those are definitely miniature models. Trains that run bullet train speeds cannot survive that track quality in 0:23
新幹線大爆破 の１番の見所場面と断言していいと思います😸
東映は国鉄と蜜月の関係だったのに（社長が鉄道省出身／この映画公開時には亡くなっている、監督の兄弟が国鉄の偉いさん）

They look like model trains
They are. They had to use them as, it would probably not be a good look if they really had an incident.
You'd certainly never guess that they used models rather than the real thing could you 😁 Actually, I presume it must have been made with at least some cooperation from Japan Rail, perhaps proving that they do have a sense of humour 😁
El tren más rápido de mi infancia

Never going to work in Railway network after this even in Mars .
It says conductor in the info, did something happen to the engineer/train operator?
What's up with this?
Is it that it'll explode if it goes under a certain speed?
YES
I refuse to believe that he couldnt have simply shut the train off after he man handled and tore that emergency brake all up
Speed activated bomb, he can’t drop below a certain speed.
Looks like old Indian movies ❤❤
this is a 1975 movie, its old
It's very important earthmatic. Mathematics ❤❤❤
So basically "Speed" movie but Japanese. And with trains, not buses
That not bullet train but that Airbus a320 that became train imposter
And I rather doubt that the track circuits would clear to allow the points to be moved *that* quickly after a train had passed 😰

(yeah, I know. I just don't care. Can't argue with the results, can you? Britain should do it too.)
This Shinkansen is equipped with a bomb that explodes if the train slows down, so it cannot slow down.
