Train to Busan Movie Group REACTION 

Jesus, that Little Girl deserves an Oscar, hearing her cry tears your soul apart!

It not being an American movie really does add to the survival aspect of the situation. Like you said, most Western zombie flicks have the survivors using guns which lower the threshold of the survival part. So whenever bad stuff happens and they need someone to do the usual "survivor doing stupid shit" trope, the "stupid" part tend to be ham up too much. Here, since no one have gun, even the smallest mistake will get them killed and that make the story feel more organic.

Honestly, her wanting to go to Busan saved her life. lol. if they stayed in Seoul she definitely would have turned. Busan, while a populous city, has a lot of natural defenses. It's surrounded by ocean and mountains, so that being their destination was what gave me more hope that if they made it there, that they would be okay. Love this movie

Also the zombies were trained by a choreographer named Jeon Young. He's why they moved so much like break dancers. It's cause they were. :)

This movie made me go from not liking the father to bawling my eyes out for him. Imo the best zombie movie ever (World war Z is close).

The sister giving up and not fighting to make it to the next rail car for safety always gets me. She's the one who was clearly kind and considerate seeing the better part of people for who they were. To see her observe what has become of the survivors and how selfish they behave and decide she didn't want to live anymore because of it, just pow.

Train to Busan deserves more attention, it really is above the average bar for zombie movies. You should also check out All Of Us Are Dead which is actually a short zombie tv show in Korea that mostly takes place in a school.

Oh no... a reaction to one of the most heartbreaking movies ever... I can't wait!

I HATE zombie movies, but when I watched this movie, I was blown away! Korea made me love a zombie movie 😅 Also, it made me go down a rabbit hole tracking down all of Gong Yoo's old stuff! The man hasn't changed a bit! In looks and acting! He's such a great actor❤

"Don mf'ing Lee" is Ma Dong-Seuk. To American audiences, he is best known for being part of the Marvel universe, playing Gilgamesh in the Eternals.

Seoul Station is an animated movie that I believe is the prequel to Train to Busan. Peninsula can be considered a sequel. I've seen them all. I highly recommend Seoul Station. I have cried to Train to Busan every single time Ive seen it now. The 2 Dads (both the asshole redeemed and the tough guy dad of unborn baby) their deaths make me cry so much.

Ma dong seok (don lee) is legitimately a really good tough guy. Hope he gets more roles.

Omg, that little girls screams and cries were gut wrenching to hear. I remember watching this and had to use two pillows to muffle my crying. But she definitely deserved that oscar

I Get Emotional Towards The Ending Every Damn Time… Like How Can You Not???… 🍿🎥🤷🏾‍♀️💯🥺😢

Also from what I understand , and correct me if I'm wrong , South Korea , has a pretty large homeless population, that has its own sort of political history and issues that go along with it. However I love the homeless man in the movie, he's a selfless and kind man, who sacrifices himself near the end so that the father daughter and pregnant woman can escape the zombies that are about to break through the glass. He is unassuming and comes off as crazy at first, however upon a second viewing it's very evident that he was just traumatized by what he's seen. It's very possible that his camp/where he lived was on the train platform where the infection started.

hopefully this reaction is a setup for you guys to watch "All of us are Dead" next, would be great :)

Man when comes to zombie movies like this one. I can't help be think it has to be fun being the actors and extras running around acting like a zombie with the makeup and stuff. Makes me hope that one day I could be a extra in a movie as one of the zombies.

1:48 It's weird, I've never hit a deer, but I've been hit by a deer twice! The first time I tried to avoid it by driving on the wrong side of the road. It hit my passenger door, left a a small dent and a tuft of fur between the door and front fender panel. The next time I was driving home at night and saw a buck charging toward the road, antlers down, and wound up hitting my car. Miraculously, there wasn't any paint chipped but there are two small dents where the antlers hit my car

Korea has a very “mind your business” mindset so that’s why literally nobody cared or paid any attention 😭

the discussion of the population size of south korea being a concern during an apocalypse made me realise that as an australian I’m actually so mfing safe- there’s 25 million people in 7.6 million km2 of land if you don’t know what to compare that to, the US is 331 million people in 9.1 million km2

So there’s an animated prequel called “Seoul Station” and that was amazing, and then the sequel “Peninsula” wasn’t the greatest but it had some great action so i’d still say give it a watch even if it’s on your own time. Speaking of political themes in Korean movies, a lot have to do with the class differences that the Korean society goes through, have a couple friends out there and if you think the difference in the rich vs the poor in America is bad WOOF is it something else out there, Parasite is a great example of the class difference explanation in Korean films

I love this movie. There’s not many that can get me to cry but this is definitely one of them. My favorite Zombie movie as well. That kid knows how to act and pull on your heartstrings.

this movie will always break my heart, that one fucking guy who dragged everybody down to save himself actually infuriated me. when he threw the high school girl, i had never been more angry, i remember being so upset that the high school couple didn’t make it because there was no reason for them not to.

They should watch Seoul Station. It's the prequel to Train to Busan! It's also animated!

Ngl, I cried several times the first time I watched this movie, and it still tears me up, especially when those lovebirds turn...

Can confirm: YES DEER WILL HIT YOU. I had this happen to me as well in the mountains where I'm from in California 😂 shattered my window then trotted off. Deer are evil. City people have no clue.

The fact that you guys reacted to that movie is awesome, and the fact that you guys let yourselves get emotional in camera is even more awesome I really want you guys watching the sequel

I haven’t seen it but I heard that Peninsula wasn’t very good. There is an animated prequel to this movie though called Seoul Station. If you want some other great Korean zombie stuff, I’d really recommend watching the show Kingdom! Imagine political machinations amidst a zombie outbreak in Joseon (1500s what is now Korea). There are 2 seasons with 6 episodes each and a prequel movie called Kingdom Ashin of the North

"Train to Busan" delves into themes of classism, mob mentality, and the triumph of compassion over self-serving ego. The core group in the story is comprised of individuals who actively contribute to the well-being of the collective, in contrast to the self-centered COO businessman. Su-an represents innocence, Seok-woo transforms from an absentee father to a caregiver, Sang-hwa, a soon-to-be father, emerges as an inspiring team leader. Seong-keong, the pregnant wife, shields the group from zombies and assumes a leadership role among the tail group. Kevin (from "Parasite") embraces his girlfriend's affection and fights to reunite with her. Jin-hee, his girlfriend, offers hope for survival. The sacrifices of the elderly sisters temporarily safeguard the central leading group. Lastly, the homeless man proves to be an asset. He warns others about the undead, rescues the protagonist, and, as an unsung hero, sacrifices his life to save a pregnant woman and a child.

Internet: MAN DONT CRY. Me after watching lil girl and dad scene: FCK IT, IM CYING RIGHHT NOW.

A lot of Korean movies in general are really dark and rarely have happy stories or endings. My favorite is ‘I Saw the Devil’, one of my favorite movies of all time actually, that I highly recommend! Also the animated prequel for this movie Seoul Station is really good!

I never fail to cry at the end of this movie when the father dies. Best zombie movie ever made. 🥰 That place with the wrecked train wasn't actually Busan (which I think you may have figured out by the time the train actually stopped?). As the conductor said he was going to have to find another train in order to get them to Busan. The conductor also said that if he found a working train, he would pull it onto the left track. He wasn't leaving them behind. he was doing what he said and hoping others would follow.

10:18 if it's the same in my city, it's not that surprising that that man did not stop the woman from getting on the train. they're not really security personnel who are meant to stop suspicious-looking people from getting on, instead they're meant to help passengers get on and check to make sure that the train is safe to leave. when he saw the woman running towards him, he must've just thought it was a passenger who got some wounds tripping while rushing to catch the train and just let her on expecting the train attendants to take care of her during the ride.

Expected zombies......got emotions

Train to Busan is in my top 3 favorite movies. I'm glad you reacted to it. I personally didn't mind the sequel. Sadly, it's not as good as this. It just takes place in the same world, but it's its own movie. Also the Netflix Show "All Of Us Are Dead" draws a lot of inspiration from this, and I believe if you want more like Train to Busan, I recommend the show before the sequel movie.

I watched this movie a couple years ago during a heavy thunderstorm and it was one of the best experiences. It just fit together for some reason. Added to the stress.

Glad the daughter and pregnant lady lived, mad that both fathers died, and the random crazy guy too 😤

I highly recommend kingdom such an underrated korean zombie series and its in a period setting

You should watch All of Us Are Dead, a Korean zombie show that takes place in a school, instead of a train. It is newer and was a big hit when it came out.

KINGDOM is another good zombie korean drama. It only has 6 eps in S1 and another 6 in S2 then a somewhat stand-alone movie. Another unique zombies you'll encounter.

I’ve watched this movie like 3 times, so when this came on my fyp I was fairly confident I could get through the whole thing without crying, yeah I failed. This is my 4th watch now and I’ve cried like a baby every single time. Honestly this is my favorite zombie movie of all time.

If you like these zombies and this movie, you might want to check out the series All Of Us Are Dead.

Hot take: Don Lee for live action Jimbei

Kingdom and All of Us Are Dead are must watch!!😬🙏

Fuck yes. Watched this after i saw squid game. This is a wonderful zombie movie, up there with WWZ

The "baseball kid" is actually the main lead in the Oscar winner kmovie parasite

He's in Eternals, but also The Royal Tailor, which is well worth a watch. :)

I love that you guys all cried at the end. Never underestimate how sexy that makes a guy look.

I love train to busan. its a movie that when watching the action scenes look sick and when there was the lull where there were no action scenes, you're on the edge of your seats in crazy anticipation of what's about to happen

What the hell? Have you ever seen the back of the man in the blue suit clearly after taking off his suit jacket? You can tell he is a muscular man at a glance.

This isn't "one of the better zombie movies of the last ten years." This is one of the best zombie movies of the entire history of the genre! (Yeah, I know I commented several months ago, too, but I'm going through old reactions because I can't remember which ones I've seen, lol)

Phenomenal movie!! My third favorite horror movie, and the only one to regularly make me cry

no matter how many times you watch this movie the emotions remain the same .... I always happen to cry my eyes out every time I watch this movie😭😭😭😭😭😭

19:19 'that bitch' is a mistranslation, grandma wasn't being petty by calling her daughter in law (or Soo-an) a bitch, it was such a bad translation job as s it follows the flow of what she's been saying how Soo-an only looks for her mom, etc., what she actually said was 'Rotten Bastards' to the zombies around her, probably as she was being attacked by them-

I agree with everyone else, All of Us Are Dead would be a better follow up to watch.

Deer and elk in the country are built different. My dad had an elk T-bone him too lol

That jerkoff dude is sadly how most people would probably be. Out to save their own skin which ironically sealed his fate in the end. Pennisula is cool. Not nearly as good I would say but worth the watch.

One thing I will praise Korean zombie movies for is that they generally go really physical with zombies.

Please chek out the k-drama Kingdom. It takes place in the 1600's and its about a prince trying to fond out whats happening to his father, the empror, while fighting accusations from his stepmom who wants her own son on the throne. Sense its in the 1600's theirs not alot of weapons to kill zombies.

The first and only movie I ever cried to, and not only that, but every time I watch I still cry anyways

Bitch I have never clicked so fast in my life lets fucking GOOOO! I love this movie!!

Yes. American fast food in Korea are 1000 times better than the native (to American) versions.

Never have I ever cried on a zombie movie until this came out geeze

Seeing how you guys enjoyed this, i think you would love All of Us are Dead. It is a korean drama revolving around a zombie apocalypse as well, but this time the characters are high school teens. An absolutely awesome show, and they've also just announced season 2

This movie is such a rare genre: Tearjerker Horror!

The Zombie actors put their all into the role my favorite thing of the movie.

I concur with everyone saying to check out All of Us Are Dead. DO NOT check out the Train to Busan sequel called Peninsula though. It’s got some pretty cool moments but it’s not a good movie overall lol

please consider reacting to all of us are dead as well! i feel like youd enjoy that zombie series as well great reaction as always, keep it up you guys are awesome

This movie is a MASTERPIECE. I don't know what else to say besides that. As for sequels and such - Peninsula isn't worth it. It's set after Train to Busan and isn't the best, especially compared to Train to Busan. The prequel Seoul Station is worth it, as is All Of Us Are Dead. Definitely check out more Korean movies, especially horror ones! Gonijam is another famous one!

I like the movies that are more realistic in a turn... People don't get full zombie makeup 5 seconds after a bite. If I really had to be pressed... I prefer our comedies over our "horror" when it comes to zombies. But this movie was awesome. 28 Days Later level of awesome acting from the zed crew.

Your reactions were so honest,because I also cried real hard everytime I see this heartbreaking scene 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭

This movie had me fucked up when I first watched it, and the same again watching yall react

Train to Busan 2 doesn't exist just like how Pacific Rim 2 doesn't exist. We wish there was another movie for both :/ About your take about "What the politics behind this movie", to answer the question I refer to the sinking of the Korean cruise ship Sewol and how it was grossly mishandled by the government and the company. The antagonist in this movie that everyone hates that kills everyone off represents the Sewol's greedy corporation that didnt follow safety regulations that heavily contributed to the ship listing. The government essentially covered up and/or suppressed the media concerning the status of the sinking ship similar to the government in this movie telling everyone that everything is ok. The main character represents your everyday (Korean) guy. Working hard everyday for extended hours to essentially be successful in life. He starts off cut throat because well in Korea it very much is cut throat (tbf this is everywhere in the world though) but slowly regains his humanity representing your average person. Again, we all wish there was a Train to Busan 2. It doesn't exist. Trust me, don't watch that other "Train to Busan 2" movie. Again it doesn't exist, it's not cannon. Move along. Nothing to see here.

Yeap the ktx specifically is what we would call a bullet train, and does go about 300km. They're in the same category, but not the same, as the shinkansen.

if I'm not mistaken (I read somewhere), I think the director's original idea was for the old m$#cker to be the only survivor. (in fact, very smart commentary about society, how the most ruthless always get their way etc) but producers or test audience were SO mad about it that director had to change the end. Imagine that - I know I would have screamed at the movie if the director had decided to go in that direction...

I just looked it up and it sounds like it's the movie peninsula and the synopsis says it was made 4 years after the events in train to Busan.

I literally cryed while watching you guys react to it, thats how deep I ahve this movie in my heart, to me, this is the BEST zombie movie, hands down. Peninsula is more action packed, mor of a thriller in the sense of "welp, the apocalypse happened, what know?" in a different place, with a different cast. Korea has a TON of great movies to check out like this (I mean, Oldboy STILL breaks me and elevates me unwillingly, so yes, yes yes, yes, yes. Also I love the actor who played the asshole in the movie, he speaks of it with such a genuine smile like "I'm glad you hate him because I do to", a treasure.

This Train is Real in S.Korea. 부산행 열차는 실존하는 기차 맞습니다. 무궁화호와 KTX 두 가지가 있습니다.

the final scene made every one cry as the bgm hits the good 🥲

Another crazy korean movies you want? Then choose one between 'exit(2019)' and 'the wailing(2016)'

Movie suggestions for you guys, for 3 manly guys here's what you need : 1) The Raid Redemption (Part 1) MUST WATCH !! 2) The Raid Berandal (Part 2) 3) The Witch Subversion (Part 1). Korean movie 4) The Witch (Part 2) 5) My Way, korean movie based on true event, it's about war and brotherhood.

10:30 Yeah, he's waiting for any last minute people who want to get on.

One of the things i love about this film, is the improv of the weapons, since only 2 percent of the population has weapons like guns,if I remember correctly, please correctly if I'm wrong.😊

*Am I the only one currently still seeing reactions to this wonderful movie??* _Shit! I love it!!_ ❤️💜🔥

Sequel to this movie is called Peninsula! It gets you just as much as this movie. Theyre just more messed up in the second movie then they are in this one.

That's the best child actor/actress I've seen in a long while.

Since you loved this movie then you gotta watch the series “All of Us Are Dead”

India has its own version of Children's Day too, but it's celebrated on 14th November. :)

Damn you! This movie is so good and the only one that has me sobbing at the end. I didn't know there was a sequel.

Some other movies you might want to watch; “Dog Soldiers”, “The Girl With All the Gifts”, “Howl”(a passenger train with a werewolf stuck inside), “Crawl space” (from the 80’s), “Ther’s Something Wrong with the Children”,

This movie is truly amazing and I know another one you could watch, it's called the scouts survival guide against the zombie apocalypse I love it because it's comedic and really well made

"This deer's an L" Deer: *_Pardon?_*

Damn! I had the same thing happen with a deer but it was a buck. His antlers pierced my door but didn’t go all the way through thankfully 😅

Zom 100 and All Of Us Are Dead would def be fun watches for y'all, haven't seen Peninsula bc I've only really heard bad things and I don't think it's streaming anywhere in Australia anyways! Wouldn't want one of the greatest zombie movies of all time to be tainted, also!... Speaking of, cAn'T wAiT for the US remake they've been trynna get going for the past few years...

Did you guys watch the opening credits? The film company is Red Peter with a monkey icon. LOL

There is also a sort of prequel called Seoul Station

I'll say it here since no one is mentioning the 2nd movie it's Peninsula

31:32 that is not a bullet train, it was just an ordinary light railway. I don't think they can get inside a running bullet train in that one scene.

You have to watch ‘Seoul Station’ too. It’s an animation the side story of Train to Busan. You must be get a headache.

One of the best zombie movies IN THE WORLD, no cap. Loved your reactions!
