theres a European family on a train trip asking each other "has that American in the cabin next to us been talking to himself for the past 46 minutes straight?"

Oddly, he's on a North American train. At 29:46 you can make out the very North American Double-Door Plug-Door boxcars behind him -- likely Railbox or ex-Railbox. So he's on one of North America's elusive, sluggish, yet not totally useless trains!

not just limited to movies, the train sequence in Uncharted 2 is still one of the greatest set pieces ever

[@sopebarrofficial3557]

Agreed

[@pennyfarting]

Off the top of my head, Sly 2 and Hitman: World of Assassination also use trains to great effect. There's definitely something to be said for games that usually feature sandbox-style level design suddenly throwing in a level on a moving train, which condenses the action down to a constrained linear space and automatically demands that the player engage with the game in a more focused way. Oh, and there's the excellent train mystery in Paper Mario: The Thousand Year Door, of course.

[@SpoofyJ]

One of my favorite levels in an arcade game called Metal Slug X also happens to be a level entirely atop a train. Trains are great man!

[@IvanMosquito]

It’s probably what inspired the Mission Impossible Dead Reckoning finale. The intro to Rebel Nation is obviously lifted directly from Uncharted 3, after all

[@EinDose]

Pretty sure the Goldeneye game actually had a better train sequence than the Goldeneye movie did.

[@XOXFilmStudio]

Patrick did the ultimate director move and gave us footage of an American train in America with clearly American rolling stock visible in the background and claimed it was somewhere else in the world. Props.

[@Happymali10]

Probably a homage to How I met your Mother using footage of Australian Railroads for New York.

[@rasmusn.e.m1064]

I was wondering why it only said "pull up" on the thing with no other languages.

[@hefley4]

Yup. American coal-bathtub gondolas go by the window, followed by American-style boxcars flying by on a side track there, and when he is stopped a very Amtrak-looking passenger train roars by on the next track over. But, hey -- they are trains! Not complaining here!

[@MightyMurloc]

Thank you for acknowledging the Wallace and Gromit train sequence, still, in my eyes, the epitome of a BIG small scale scene.

[@eliasmochan]

he talks about it in detail in the video about geography, at the beggining of the Blue Flame Special series

[@GrandArchPriestOfTheAlgorithm]

This is why The US need to build out their train network again: For action scene. If not, you have to start setting movies in Switzerland, or Norway, where you also get nice scenery. And let’s be honest, movie studios can’t afford Norway, and not everything can be in Switzerland.

[@nickduma3049]

Back when the US had a proper transit network, we used to just crash trains together for fun. Think of the action we could have today!

[@michlo3393]

America has 140,000 miles of rail. Switzerland is the size of my livingroom. I'm not _tracking_ what you're getting at. The US has plenty of room for every action scene on a train imaginable.

[@thesalamanderking3475]

After seeing his Pirates movies, I’m fairly confident in saying that Gore Virbinski is one of the greatest action directors currently living. His action scenes are always full to the brim with moving set pieces, sight gags, and just tons of stuff going on overall, yet it all fits together seamlessly. He’s a master of his craft. Also, I thought ending the train crash montage with Sammy Fableman filming his model train crashing would have been both funny and thematically appropriate. Just something I thought of. ALSO ALSO I can’t wait for the miniature cities episode. I’ve been a massive fan of kaiju and tokusatsu cinema for my entire life and the intricate miniature cities have always been a highlight to me. Keep it up!

[@petarrakoc1416]

Sad that the studios aren’t throwing money at him. We are definetily missing his action in modern cinema.

[@liquiddiamondlipstik]

I feel like Verbinski could have been a successor to Spielberg. They both have such a great way of setting up suspenseful and spatially understandable action scenes. He's had too many failures and seems to rotate in and out of director jail. Oh and the Weather Man!

[@Boonehams]

This might be crazy to say, but I honestly think Mouse Hunt is Gore Verbinski's magnum opus.

[@trw1782]

Not really hot take to say 'currently living'; I would say he is one of the greatest action directors of all time. Heavy emphasis on the action part, but he still should be celebrated more for his work.

[@fennsk]

21:00 phenomenal use of a false Skip button.

[@sven4347]

I got a real ad break inside the fake ad break and was really confused about the skip button for a moment ^^

[@Nindroidgamer110]

The fact he spent like three minutes on Segal before even mentioning trains is not something I expected, but it made this essay all the more better for it.

[@eoincten]

27:16 Just to give credit where it's due, it was actually Geoff Zanelli, one of Hans Zimmer's assistants, who arranged that epic adaptation of the William Tell Overture (though Zimmer did compose the other themes that Zanelli wove into it).

[@Sidney_313]

Came here to give the same comment. Patrick, if you see this: Great video as usual - and if you're interested, give this great interview with Zanelli a look. He worked for roughly a year (!) on the score of the "Lone Ranger" finale. kzbin.info/www/bejne/aZ64lJSXqsaBqNU

[@JMJGETTY]

“Collateral” has one of favorite train scenes. The shot of Tom Cruise’s Vincent jumping onto a moving MTA, and the finale where we see a dead Vincent ride alone on the MTA continues to astound me.

[@StudioInkblot]

He might not consider that as counting as a train

[@WhiskyCanuck]

@@StudioInkblot Why not? It's a metro - just like one that's the setting for the final act in Speed which he mentions a couple of times (unless if I'm remembering that scene wrong). There are different classes (light/medium/heavy) passenger rail, but it's still all trains. An LRT or tram doesn't have the sense of power & "unstoppability" of larger trains, probably one reason they're not used in these big action scenes, but anything medium up would, I think.

[@thechroniclesofthesuperhob167]

while a metro service is slightly different from a train, it’s so similar that i don’t see why it wouldn’t be counted. great film, great scene.

[@nalbis]

i know we're talking movies, but i can't not mention uncharted 2 blew my mind when it came out

Out of all the train stunts I've seen in this episode, Sean Connery ducking in time so the bridge wouldnt kill him blew my mind the most. 😂

[@turbo1431]

I like how Patrick does a train movie video without assuming that all the railfans in his audience wouldn’t notice that he's on an Amtrak train in the United States. (Look at the background around 6:32 - those are North American auto rack cars, and then realize he's probably in an Amtrak roomette)

[@kludd28]

[@TheEndosymbiosis]

That's definitely a Viewliner II roomette.

[@kristofferrosvall8709]

[@TrueLegateDamar]

20:00 I'm suprised he didn't reference the bridge/tunnel-ducking parody scene from Top Secret where Omar Sharif and a Nazi are fighting on top of a train, but when Omar sees a bridge he ducks while the Nazi can't see it thus setting up a kill, but the Nazi just goes through the bridge unharmed and brushes dust off his uniform.

[@InfoGuyGaming]

I feel like Patrick is really starting to get into more video games with each episode. He's going to have so much fun if he gets to the Metal Gear Solid games.

[@__-vb3ht]

I can't believe you didn't mention one of the all time greatest train chase movies ever: Mad Max: Fury Road Yes. The war rig is a train. It goes forever in a straight line, people are jumping on it and off it, run on top of it, climb under it, the second trailer gets unhitched. Furiosa is the driver, Max the conductor in charge of security, Nux is the small boy in a newsboy cap shovelling coal, the wives are the passengers trying to take cover when fights break out. Also, George Miller, set the next Mad Max film on an actual train. Also, a ship. Pirate Max. Free ideas

[@T.E.S.S.]

he didn't mention it because it's not a train

[@joeytosi]

The Lone Ranger by Verbinski is an awesome movie that deserves way more praise than it gets. It's top notch filmmaking from tip to tail, anhas one of the most exciting train and chase sequences ever put to film. Can't understand why people didn't love the beautiful work of art.

[@AlexTimeExpress]

29:10 PWILLEMS ON JET LAG WHEN?

[@adithyakumar4990]

I am so happy that KILL was mentioned in the video. I am crying. I had literally recommended it in the first Trains video assuming you would not have come across it lmao

[@cartilagehead]

Patrick, I must take issue with your summary of The Polar Express. The train didn’t spin out on the frozen lake and then magically return to the tracks on the other side. The train driver and conductor drifted the train across the lake. The train was never out of control despite moving laterally across the ice.

[@thetalentof]

"Why do Submarine movies create the best tension" for the next segment perhaps? I feel like with Crimson Tide, Hunt for Red October, Das Boot, The Abyss, Hunter Killer, K-19 the Widowmaker, Black Sea, U-571 and Greyhound there's enough material for individual standout scenes of ultra-high tension to cover that genre in equally fascinating depth (no pun intended).

[@tom.m]

Seconded. But I have most of those on my shelf so I might be biased. There is definitely something special about sub movies.

[@GuineaPigEveryday]

Fantastic list, all pretty solid and some amazing films, also Enemy Below, Run Silent Run Deep, Ice Station Zebra, The Wolf’s Call (more modern) also notable mentions. Ik ppl love Hunt for Red October but Crimson Tide honestly elevates itself beyond only the submarine genre with how great the writing is and the filmmaking. Ive never seen a sub film shot that same way, and its honestly just so incredibly suspenseful with a star-studded cast. Also Hans Zimmer, him and Tony Scott are a great pairing. Plus Denzel acting against Gene Hackman is just rivetting

[@EinDose]

May I put forward an honorary Submarine Movie in this lineup: Wrath of Kahn. Really a lot of Star Trek ship combat sequences found material in using submarine movie tropes in space, but Wrath of Kahn is probably the biggest.

[@JanTuts]

Probably because submarines are literally under constant pressure :P

[@nestorperena8629]

the train sequence in the lone ranger is just amazing in every aspect.

[@oneminutetomidknight]

[@ElJefe3126]

Thanks for the shoutout to Runaway Train, an underrated jewel.

[@isaiahwilliams2642]

Patrick, you could never talk enough about trains. They are, at least in our modern car-obsessed America, the most underrated staple in human culture, so seeing you talk about them in length is immensely gratifying. I'll take this opportunity to leave a comment for your Nebula video, "The General" is in fact based (very loosely) on a true event. In 1862, a group of Union spies snuck into Georgia with the intention of crippling the South by destroying one of their few crucial railroads. They hijacked a North-bound train (lead by the real life "General" locomotive) with the intention of tearing up track and burning down trestles. They were sabotaged by heavy rainfall and the persistent conductor of the "General" chasing them down, the raiders ran out of fuel and were subsequently captured. If you want to see a film that more accurately portrays the events, I highly recommend 1956's "The Great Locomotive Chase." I'll also leave this comment for the people who no doubt will take your Thomas joke at face value. Thomas works just like a real life locomotive. His anatomy (face aside), is exactly the same as a real life locomotive. Humans operate him and every other engine and wagon on Sodor exactly the same way they would in real life. The fact that they have faces and talk is almost inconsequential (in the classic seasons anyway). And one more thing, if you want to find some more obscure American train films, check out the books by Larry Jensen. "The Movie Railroads" and "Hollywood's Railroads Vol 1-3."

The one problem with train movies is that then you become subject to train nerds. And now if you'll allow me... "Patrick says he's still in Europe when he's clearly on board an Amtrak Viewliner sleeping car on the Northeast Corridor. I hope someone got fired for thay blunder."

[@OrangeAnon]

Came to the comments for this lmao, you can even see Amfleets passing by at one point, as well as very distinctively American freight cars

[@EinDose]

I kept waiting for Patrick to bring up the Goldeneye train scene, but in retrospect, I actually remember that scene less than the video game level it inspired, which is just an entire level of applying every single one of these lessons to a video game and producing one of the best parts of that game as a result.

[@carl.th.dreyer]

[@I.M._Carlisle]

Given how much Patrick loves trains in cinema, I hope he was able to see Infinity Train before Zaslav banished it to the shadow realm, or that he's been able to watch it through... perhaps less scrupulous means. It's basically got everything great train-based fiction needs: confined space, *very* unique cars, and some outside the car action scenes, and some light cosmic horror to go with it.

[@lgob7]

Trains rule. A Blue Flame Special *AND* more train-talk? Yes please! After a cray-cray week, I can finally sit down and watch this, and it certainly delivered! Thanks, Patrick!

[@letsplayfan8891]

Thanks! My no. 1 top recommendation is Runaway Train (1985), an absolute must-see and one of my favorite movies of all time. Of course, there is also something to be said about guilty pleasures such as Unstoppable (2010), Snowpiercer (2013), Avalanche Express (1979) and Silver Streak (1976).

[@Daneelro]

The Train tops even Runaway Train.

[@BRAMCRACK3R]

Thinking about one of my favorite video game levels. In Lost Planet 2 there is an extended train level where you go from car to car fighting soldiers on a train, then crossing onto another train. This next train you get on has a railway cannon that you use to kill a giant dune-like sandworm with cannon rounds you have to pick up and load into the gun manually. Did I mention this game is also co op.

[@benwasserman8223]

A high-speed vehicle with claustrophobic rooms inside and no way to change the direction? I guess trains are just built that way.

[@baconsarny-geddon8298]

Trains are also good for movies (especially action movies), because they make it easy to have it be super-clear where everything is. Most settings, like say an office block, or mall, or even a large ship, are fully 3d, where whatever goal or threat that the movie's focussed on, may be up, down, left, right, or forward or backward, which can be hard to communicate, in a movie. But a train, because it's linear, and everything is either in front of you, or behind you, it's much easier to make a nice, clear, easy to read action scene, where you always know "the hero needs to defuse the bomb, at the front of the train, left of screen". It's a nice, simple, contained space that everyone understands. It's not like houses or buildings or ships, where every one has a different layout, that you need to communicate to viewer.

[@jonathaneilbeck2263]

I remember when Bob Chipman reviewed the Kenneth Branagh Death on the Nile and mentoined that trains are a big moving labyrinth.

[@FortressoftheSea]

Is Mad Max Fury Road an honorary train movie? I feel like the war rig is essentially just a train without the restraint of a track or the linear hallways, but I feel like a lot of aspects of trains still apply. Constant movement, the geography of combat including fighting on top of the train and climbing all over it. If not honorary, I think it takes a lot of inspiration from train movies.

[@tomassantiago8101]

1) Y'know, I really love Rear Window's core "mechanic" of a view out of a studio apartment permits us to glance into everything going on and getting the layout of a murder. And the way you're describing this Steven Seagal train movie reminds me of that in the best way. 2) This Thomas the Tank Engine thing sounds like that one awful 45 seconds in Nope. You know which scene I'm talking about.

[@sarathbabu1245]

The train sequence in GOAT is still one of the greatest set pieces ever/s

[@mikestoast]

Clearly in the Thomas the Tank Engine universe the train characters are structured similarly to the Cylon Raiders from BSG (2004) external hard parts, soft and squishy interiors. Thanks for the heads up that Every Frame A Painting is back, I had no idea.

[@jiggygrand]

It should be noted that the train scene in Predator 2 is Iconic as well. It was funny, chaotic, and showed the superiority of the predator who is mowing down gun toting passengers with ruthless efficiency. His ability is highlighted and immediately diffused when he saves Maria Conchita Alonso's pregnant character. Probably the most iconic scene in the film.

[@ItsTheFizz]

I'd argue Get Him To The Greek is far more cancelled than The Lone Ranger at this point...

Double thanks for mentioning The Polar Express scene, a sincerely intense scene, primarily because it's breaking all the rules set before. It's not quite a Christmas Classic, but establishing a direction of movement through so much of the film, and then having a single scene risking all of it? Genius.

The production of these video essays is incredible. Surprised HBO hasn't swept this up already

[@rolfklaus210]

Hi Patrick and Emma! Love Both of the Train Videos! I have always loved trains in movies, but in real life, Ive only ever had one train ride. And i was like 36 when it finally happened. I wanted to mention something that I'm sure you would've mentioned if you had known about it. In Michael Crighton's autobiographical book Travels, he has a whole section on the making of The Great Train Robbery. He talks about Sean Connery being an amazing athlete and could've played football. Anyways, during the scenes that Sean Connery is jumping from train car to train car, the train is supposed to be going at about 30mph so you can see decent movement, but its still safe to maneuver safely. Connery keeps complaining over the walkie that the train is going much too fast. Crighton walkies the train people. And they insist they are going 30mph. They keep shooting. Connery keeps complaining to find out how fast they are going. Crighton walkies the helicopter that's getting aerial shots, how fast they were flying to keep up. They were like 60 mph. They thought Connery was a mad man. Turns out the train was using an old system for finding out how fast they were going. I think it was called tacking. This is all from my memory of a book i read about 20 years ago, so i might've muffed a detail, but that's what I remember. Anywho, I'm a big fan. Always look forward to everything that comes out. Love you! -ROLFMAUL

I'll always remember 2 things about Under Siege 2: 1) it's the first film I ever saw by myself in a theatre. 2) There are two scenes where a bad guy is dropped from a great height to their death, only in both cases they hit something on the way down, abruptly choking off their bloodcurdling scream. Hilarious!

[@two_owls]

My favorite (honorary) train movie is Mad Max Fury Road. The War Rig is essentially a train, after all!

[@TheOnceAndFutureDoug]

Can't wait for Patrick's two upcoming videos on planes so he can complete his Planes, Trains and Automobiles hexalogy pun.

[@robertosorio7919]

Von Ryan's Express (1965) is one of my all time action - adventure train movies. They don't get on the train until the 2nd act, but then it becomes an amazing train escape movie with great performances by Frank Sinatra, Trevor Howard, and many others. 90% / 82% on the Rotten Tomatoes.

[@laurenloo]

rewatched the train sequence of anastasia after this & it really underscores how much you can do with trains in so little time. they manage to get through proximity induced romantic tension, forged document political panic, and a runaway train "fight" with demons all in like 7 minutes.

Great video (BLUE FLAME IS BACK!!!).
