Fun fact, their was also a GP38 that led the train. It led the train untill the crash scene, and then it was swapped out for a GP40-2. The 2 high hood GP7s weren't actually high hoods eathier, they were GP7U's that had plywood built up on the low hood and a piece of sheet metal covering the windshield
Genius. so realistic and has you on the edge of your seat...as intended.Jon Voight, Eric Roberts and Rebecca De Mornay are brilliant. The Russian director and 2nd director are very, very talented.
Great film! Great acting! Voight should have won an Oscar for this role! As sinister and evil as he is, he still demonstrates some humanity in his character.
OMG. Even if it was a stunt double. To be dragged underneath that train going at full speed just inches from the steel wheels is insane. Plus, with ice and snow making everything wet and slippery... no wonder those stunts in the movie kept you on the edge of your seat. They were real!
Have this 💎 on DVD,brillant movie with a great plot,cast and crew-all the lead actors were excellent and Eric Roberts deserved his nomination at the years awards Auckland New Zealand 2023
I was 6 years old when my cousin showed me this movie,an man was it a thriller looking forward of watching it again at 40 years old one of my favorite movies
Amazing to see inside the studio where theyve mocked up the faces of two locos coupled up with the moving track illusion underneath for Jon to act his scenes on....on film it all looks very convincing. A cracking movie. Big balls to the stunt guy strapped underneath a real train as it moves along at speed. One false move or a strap breaks its goodnight vienna......
Being that this movie was made in the 80s theirs no computer green screen or cgi crap to make a reality look like a fantasy this was all real and they worked hard to build a movie with pride and the stunts were dangerous because it was real 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻this is how real movie were made not like today
this is definitely the most under rated movie of the 80s
One of my favorite films. Under-rated, to be sure.
Before CGI was a thought, people. This is so cool yet terrifying.
Seeing Manny's fingers crushed and severed between the couplings like that still remains a painful-looking image.

CGI has it's place.. but I definitely miss seeing older films with the great stuntmen earning their pay cheques.
When he crushed his fingers between the couplers man that was brutal!!
Has to be the best runaway train movie ever made. Youre never left thinking oh thats so unreal.......love it and we all loved to hate Rankin!
Always wanted to see how they did the scene with Manny getting his fingers crushed by the couplers. Still one of my all-time favorite movies.
The coolest movie ever

Best single acting performance in movie history. MANNY! MANNY! MANNY!....(C,'mon, Riker, I'm right here!)
