It’s not unrealistic at all actually, the reason the independent is snapping the train back on is back the slack in the train is doing most of the work. The weight of the back end is pulling the train back on when slams the independent.
@@0638 No because your forgetting that gravity works in more than one way. First off the there is friction in the rails, that holding the wheels on. The wheels spinning creates a force that holds them on called centripetal force. And finally because the train is pulling and not pushing, there is slack in between each car. So when he applies the independent break is pulls that slack and then it springs back, pushing the train through the curve.
Yeah, even though its really unrealistic you kinda forget the unrealistic things cause you're so hooked! I mean even though ive watched it before, when the train full of kids is racing to the siding im still praying that it ends up safe even though i know it will. Absolute great movie.
@@amtrak706 Well that's your opinion that no one cares about. Yes its unrealistic, but who gives a shit dude, its hollywood. If you expect so much from them then maybe you shouldn't be watching movies in the first place.
I've watched this movie so many times, I stopped counting. It's a rare movie that seems to only get better and better with repeat viewings. And each time I know that train isn't going to fall, but due to how well this scene was shot, I'm still expecting it to fall.
Some people: "that Speed movie was awesome. I always wonder why they never made a sequel?" Me: " we don't talk about, discuss or entertain such notions. There never was a sequel and there never will be. End of!"
Indeed. They both trained with real train personnel to make sure their acting was correct when working with the train during their scenes in the movie.
The perfect representation of the old guard and the new. A reminder that the old is not always out of touch as supposed, and the new is not always resistant to learning from the past. It took both their skill sets to overcome, and a willingness to come together in crisis. It’s in the the fire that the worst of humanity is burned away and the best exposed for the world to see.
@@alexisthetigershark9383 loosely based off real events. In real life, they stopped the train by slowing it but there wasn’t some big chase scene to get to the front of the train like in the movie. But there are certain news clips from that day used in the movie
Actually 90% of this movie is really accurate. The only part that I disagree with is the speed that 1206 entered that switch at. As an engineer the average speed a train of that size would jump the switch at anything past 40. There is no way it went through it at 50+
@@Red_Bull2 , 90% Accurate ? Are you insane ? This is Totally Fake . The real train didn't get over 25mph and was stopped without incident or accident within a few miles
I saw another video of them filming... They really did this on a real rail road with the trains actually grinding the track and chasing it 10ft away with helicopters lol, whatever studio made this film is hardcore.
As much as this movie is a guilty pleasure of mine, I can't believe they were able to call this "based on a true story" when almost nothing that happened in his movie even resembles the real-life incident. -Nobody actually died, nor were any train cars or an engine destroyed. -There is no such thing as Stanton or the Stanton Curve, which is actually part of the Bellaire viaduct on a private rail line. -Adding to that, the real-life site used for the curve never had fuel tanks below the tracks because...common sense? If this movie just wrapped up like a usual action movie I would have no problem with it, but then they try to tell you what happened to the characters at the end of the movie as if they have real-life equivalents just seems really misleading.

The train would’ve 100% crashed. Because when it tilted as far as it did, there is no stopping it from tilting all the way over. Because the train would have already fallen to over when he hit the brakes.
@@WildFireGaming7 Wait so all he did was slam on the brakes to yank the whole train back on the rails... OMG MY LITTLE CHILD BRAIN GUESSED THAT BACK THEN 😂

Смотрю и смотрю этот фильм ,частенько, мне нравится все в этом фильме, многое удивляет, понятно другая страна, как все службы работают в связке , согласовано и игра актёров, бесподобна!
James was the run away and thomas was the 0ne to stop him! The color of the james represents the runaway train in this movie now thomas in this movie is blue witch he is stopping james witch is red!
They used General Electric AC4400CW locomotives from Canadian Pacific and Electro Motive Division SD40-2 locomotives from the Wheeling and Lake Erie Railroad for this movie. The GE Locomotives played 777 and 767 while the EMD locomotive played 1206.
2:35 Movie mistake: Half of 777's train is missing! 1206 isn't at the back of the train and 777 is pulling only 18 cars, even though the movie stated there were 39.
Lmao 3rd time watching this movie and I just noticed in the end how Ned switched clothes for the media lol he put on a suit in minutes lmao prob had it in the back of the truck 😂😂😂
You are what seperates those who do know (those who work in or are retired from the industry) and those that think they know (mostly kids, armchar professionals, foamers, etc).
Im a professional railfan and i want to ask you some questions, 1st question, if a train is moving can I spin the hand break on the freight cars like in the movie? 2nd question, what are all the breaks on the train? If you answered them then thank you.
I love this movie so much but I can’t help but find a few goofs that slipped in. Right at the end of this clip you can see an aerial shot of 777. If you look at the very back of the train, 1206 is nowhere to be seen. This is because the train was apparently never fully put together when filming, there would only be certain segments put together as most of the shots only end up showing one part of the train. The unfortunate case with this shot was that it was meant to show the full train. To the average viewer they probably wouldn’t even notice, one would really have to be paying attention.
This is controlled mayhem at its finest - so many cameras combined with trains and helicopters and having to direct all this in combination with safety is mind boggling especially the low altitude of the helicopters. Tony Scott always had a frenetic camera style with constant movement especially the fast closeups and tracking shots and sharp jump cuts and of course the panning camera on the train which amplifies it further. The poor editor must have had a field day on this movie. RIP Tony Scott - he committed suicide in 2011 by jumping off a bridge after this movie was made and apparently he was diagnosed with cancer. This was his last ever movie.

@@Red_Bull2 wouldn't it just deraill bc of how heavy the train is on its side
@@0638 No, the fraction and the speed would likely derail it, but the brake force can definitely hold it back.

No because the force of the independent on 1206 and the cars is strong enough to hold back 777’s weight.
Those shots of the trains are simply unbeatable. Whoever made this movie knew what they were doing.
I've seen some behind the scenes from this movie, honestly that's far more interesting and impressive than the movie itself.

Look it up, it was based off of the Ohio CSX 8888 incident in 2001
the word based means that the directors got inspiration from the real fact, not that they actually did the same that happened, also the fact of adding what happened to their lives is something very common in all tupíes of movies
basically the only thing it has in common was it was based on a runaway incident.
The San Bernardino train incident had a very similar curve and had the gas pipelines under it.
They never claimed that it was "based on a true story". The actual tagline is (correctly) "inspired by true events".
They used real trains for this guys
Edit: in this scene, they used 3 helicopters and the train didn’t nearly fall off the curve.
Jack Hromadka no shit
Omg! I loved this movie!!
