. . .and the same for "Unstoppable," with the train balancing on one set of wheels. . .thought no one could have done it worse, but I stand corrected. . .ugh: From "Mission Impossible;" along with the crazy action, how does the train run with no overhead wires and the pantographs locked down? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AysV4mGh4fc https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Cho039BrHpg Which is crazier? Curving bullets, bullets striking each other in flight (and more than once!), or couplers that hold up half of a derailed train (for a while) that's hanging from a bridge? From "Wanted:" http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qD6IXIE0cok Well, from some other clips, the whole movie is over the top. . .and how much money do the studios spend on things like this? Sheesh. . . |

The Eurostar does operate via 3rd rail in some locations. But none is shown in the film. It's also against FRA regs to fly a helicopter inside a tunnel... ;) |
