: The majority of the train scene, especially the crash, came from the Gregory Peck movie "Old Gringo". They've wrecked that poor train in a least a half dozen made for TV movies after that film came out. With Lucas's bend to create new footage, this aways surprised me that he used stock footage, even though I don't know how he could have improved on it. Regards. Michaelson

Well, I'll be... I haven't seen that movie.

I saw a made-for-cable movie last night on TNT called Time Shifters where there was a subway car crash that looked very similar to one in the Snipes/Harrelson movie Money Train. I didn't know they did this sort of thing. I just chalked it up to deja vu, similar situation, similar effect. But now, I bet they just lifted it straight from the movie.

Thanks for the insight.
