Runaway Train Montage 

Thanks. Glad you liked it. Share the link!

@@warrendubeau851 Awesome. This is one of the most vastly underrated movies ever. Where was Hans when this was made? Thank you!

I remember watching this movie and crying as a young boy. I couldn't have been older then 5 or 6

I agree. This montage is very well done. Kudos.

Agreed! What a shock ending this movie has! Oscar Mannheim, a Notorious Crook, ends up saving two precious lives near the end...and ends up taking a corrupt Cop with him, on his way to his demise. To me, at the very last, he turns out to be a hero!

You gonna clean that spot

My mom was born when this movie was coming

This could probably be the most underrated movie in history. It mind blowing in its story, acting and cinematography.

What are some other good ones on your list?

@@Coloreyze_Media Terminator2, The Taking of Pelham 123, both versions, Assault on Wall Street, James Bond, some Indianna Jones, Jurassic Park, Star Wars, etc. etc. etc

Yes sad that the original music wasn’t played here at the end! (gloria - Vivaldi)That is one of the main point which Made this ending so unforgettable (with naturally the character of Jon Voight)

i agree

You have good understanding about life...

The weird thing about it, was that, unbeknownst to Buck and Manny, they chose the Wrong Train...and at the worst time, too. Manny:"There's my Limousine to Broadway". Buck:"Why that one"? Manny:"Because I want it"! They sneak onboard that Train...just ahead of the Main Engineer, who ends up suffering a Massive Heart Attack, crawls out to the side railing of that Train, and then falls off the Train, dead as a doornail! Manny and Buck eventually figure out that there's no one running the Train. Then, suddenly, one of the Horns on the Second Engine blows! Turns out that it's a Young Woman, who fell asleep, before the collision with the Eastbound Train, that took a very severe and direct hit, towards the back of it! She was definitely shocked awake by that! She makes it back to the back Engine, and runs into Manny and Buck. After some time, they manage, through a plan that she comes up with, to slow the Engines down. I could go into the rest of the story, but I won't. We all know what happened. Manny ends up dying free!

Hot take: The warden survived. He was inside the locomotive which offered him some crash protection as well as protection from the elements and his helicopter was following overhead the whole time. And even if they lost contact briefly, they were close.

@@michlo3393 hmmm... Interesting take , but I worked on hundreds of train wrecks. The reality would be more in favor of Mannie surviving due to the fact that he could have been thrown clear of the wreck. But it's always a possibility they both could have survived a high speed derailment, so long as it wasn't a collision .

@@WiIdbiII I guess it depends on what they crashed into. A simple bumper at the end of the track would have been survivable from inside the loco. If anything, Manny would be dead from hypothermia and frostbite before anyone could get to him.

I kinda disagree but I respect your opinion

John P. Ryan. Always played a great villain.

John P. Ryan. He was also in "The Right Stuff."

I wish they had paid for a proper score for the movie. But in the 80s, producers always went for the synthesizer soundtrack because it was cheap. A well-done score can really make a movie. Sicario is one of the best movies I've seen in years, and the soundtrack blended so well with the visuals to complete the movie.

Thanks. I try. For some reason I just thought of combining the two. Check out my other videos here.

Glad you liked it.

I've seen several trailers that misrepresent their movie. The trailer for Drive made it look like a F&F knock-off, not a brooding character study. The trailer for Whiskey Tango Foxtrot made it look like a comedy, when it was a drama. The "Ballroom Blitz" trailer for Suicide Squad made it look like an action comedy. Then there's The Dictator, where the only funny scenes in the movie are in the trailer. I don't know why they do that, since you're turning away your target audience, and attracting a different audience that will hate your movie because it wasn't what they were expecting.

Abccbnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnmnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnmnnnmnmmmmmmmmmm Zzxzxxxcbbvvsaaasssszxcvbnnnnnnnnnnnnmmmmmmmmmmmmmnnmmmmmm AAAaaaaaaasaazSAAAAAAAASSASAAAAAAAAAAA SSWSSSSSSSDDDDDDDDDDDFFFFFFFFFFFFFFV Lp

Glad you liked it. Like I've said before, the movie would have benefited greatly with a properly composed score. The end sequence with Manny riding the locomotive as it disappears into the fog of mythology while the Russian choir sings really stands out from the rest of the movie. Now imagine if the rest of the movie had that musical impact.

Thanks!

@@warrendubeau851 You paid tribute to a great movie very well..

It was nominated for Academy Awards in Best Actor, Best Supporting Actor and Best Film Editing.

Maybe things are different in Canada. I've been told many times that the Dead Man Switch will kill the power to the wheels, and the train will just coast to a stop. Back in the 80s a friend of mine had a brother that was a Porter with VIA, and would describe the engine crews wandering around the yard during stops looking for rocks that were heavy enough to place on the throttle plate and nullify the Deadman Switch.

@@warrendubeau851Not a railway worker here, but I'm told CN and the major US Class One railroads use similar alerter systems. The dead man's switch may have been superseded owing to the unnecessary fatigue it would impart to an engineer (driver in UK parlance) needing to keep a foot down in one place for hours. Maybe the old locos in the movie did use that system. I remember a scene in the 1970s comedy-drama Silver Streak, in which someone jams a tool box over the dead man's pedal, causing the train to run right through the station.

@@markuswx1322 Guys used to get around the deadman pedal by placing weights on the pedal. After the Hinton disaster, investigators discovered a lunch box was wedged into the pedal. One of the engine crew was sleeping in the back, and the one driving either fell asleep or had a heart attack and the freight train blew through a siding where it was supposed to stop and let a VIA passenger train go by. A lot of people died because of that one. In the 90s it was a button that had to be pressed every 15-20 seconds or so.

@@warrendubeau851 Absent newer systems like Positive Train Control, I believe the typical alerter system still consists of a button like that, or more precisely, a control input of any kind, most commonly the air horn, to prevent a power cutoff. Common practice with freight service is a bit different from passenger service in that when assembling cars in the yard the air hoses are not connected. The scenario in Runaway Train is quite consistent here, a combination of a wide open (notch 8) throttle and a locomotive independent brake application. In the Crazy Eights incident the engineer deliberately dismounted the engine to align a switch, thinking he had applied enough braking to slow the train. In fact neither the train brake nor the dynamic brake was applied and the train was moving too fast for the engineer to remount. The locomotive independent brake simply burned out as the train accelerated.

Thanks!

But under that layer of soft snow is either solid rock, or frozen solid ground.

Thanks.

I used to read everything about the 8th Air Force I could find. It was absolutely terrifying. You had to tighten up formation when the 109s and 190s attacked, but that meant the 110s and Ju 88s would start firing volleys of rockets into the tightly packed formations. So they had to loosen up, which made them easier prey for the fighters. And this went on for hours.

I've had few encounters with luftwaffe vets in ct and one told me how he had a 2 hour dogfight in France

Thanks. Synthesizer soundtracks were in every action movie from the 80s, and unfortunately, really dates them. I just wish they had spent a few bucks and paid a composer to write a proper score. I think that's why the end scene music stood out so much. The choir singing as Manny rides to oblivion really worked. I always liked the Interstellar soundtrack and thought it would really help the emotional impact scenes in this movie.

You're welcome. Share the link.

And underneath that few inches of soft snow is solid rock. Which you would be hitting at 60 MPH.

Thanks!

Thanks. Glad you enjoyed it.

This is only entertainment. It's funny how you hear Eric Roberts say, "I don't believe her bull****." That's right; all they had to do was hit the emergency fuel cut-off switch and or disconnect the cables and hoses, just like they did in the film, and the train would come to a stop providing that it wasn't on a hill.

Thanks!

The line is from Richard III. In nature a predator will sometimes show pity towards what it would usually prey upon. But Richard III is so cruel that he's worse than a beast, because he would never feel pity on anyone. It goes back to Manny's response after Rebecca De Mornay's character calls him an animal. He mocks her saying he's worse than an animal. He's human.

No Time For Caution

Ok thx btw I enjoyed this video hope you and ur family are alright

I wanted to include this scene, but the sequence was too long at almost 3 minutes. Just a choice between that speech and the confrontation scene between Manny and the hero-worshipping Buck where Manny crumbles and realizes that yeah, I'm not the hero, I'm the villain.

Runaway Train.
