Runaway Train Montage

- Since my Ford V Ferrari video was blocked world-wide, I decided to give this 1985 action classic a go. It ended up being longer than I expected. Runaway Train starred Jon Voight and Eric Roberts as prison escapees that hop a train, only to have the engineer die. Rebecca De Mornay is also along for the ride as a crewmember and John P. Ryan as the obligatory evil prison Warden who will do whatever it takes to recapture his convicts. I dumped the synthesizer soundtrack that pretty much every action movie in the 80s used, and used tracks from Interstellar.
Which got this video blocked in Cuba, Iran, North Korea and Syria. Okay.
When will movie companies learn that the Dead Man Switch has nothing to do with the brakes, and kills the power, so the locomotive will just coast to a stop.

Easily the most emotional, and the BEST, montage I have ever seen in my life! You did a 100% perfect job of bringing this heartwrencher of a movie to it's proper place in moviedom. I don't cry much, but this had me on the verge of tears, watching the passion, the emotion, the quality, and the humanity that was encased in this montage. Kudos to you, sir!!!
Thanks. Glad you liked it. Share the link!
@@warrendubeau851 Awesome. This is one of the most vastly underrated movies ever. Where was Hans when this was made? Thank you!
I remember watching this movie and crying as a young boy. I couldn't have been older then 5 or 6
I agree. This montage is very well done. Kudos.
Agreed! What a shock ending this movie has! Oscar Mannheim, a Notorious Crook, ends up saving two precious lives near the end...and ends up taking a corrupt Cop with him, on his way to his demise.
To me, at the very last, he turns out to be a hero!
My father owned a VHS rental shop when I was 5, I could take home any movie I chose, Robocop, Terminator, Predator etc. One day I chose Runaway Train. I’m 38 now and still have this VHS with me. Watched it thousands of times. This isn’t just a movie to me, it’s a big part of my childhood. Amazing montage. Thank you
You gonna clean that spot
My mom was born when this movie was coming
You were watching this when you were five? Yikes.
People don't know what they've lost without watching this most powerful movie, indeed!
This movie is a masterpiece and will be watched forever.
This could probably be the most underrated movie in history. It mind blowing in its story, acting and cinematography.
Wow you made this perfectly anyone could watch this and get the whole point it was like watching it over again.
In my list of "Best movies ever." I watch this movie every few years, especially in Winter !
What are some other good ones on your list?
@@LightningVS Terminator2, The Taking of Pelham 123, both versions, Assault on Wall Street, James Bond, some Indianna Jones, Jurassic Park, Star Wars, etc. etc. etc
One of my favorite Jon Voit movie!!! 🍿 🎥
amazing movie
A masterpiece. A great movie, by the director, the photograpy, the comedians, the editing. The ending is tragical but amazing.
One way ticket to freedom, becomes a one way trip to hell, I truly love this movie
The most inspiring , emotional , action movie ever !
Wow the score from Interstellar works amazing with this! love both movies and the combination is very well done! Absolutely love this!
One of the most hardcore endings you'll ever see. The original music for the final scene is even more powerful.
Yes sad that the original music wasn’t played here at the end! (gloria - Vivaldi)That is one of the main point which Made this ending so unforgettable (with naturally the character of Jon Voight)
What a ending film, and what three-four years films and music, THE BEST.
1982-1986
Underrated movie
i agree
This is freakin' EPIC!!! I love Runaway Train and love Interstellar and can't think of a better combination! You sir definitively have special skills and are not afraid to use them. :o)
Thanks. I try. For some reason I just thought of combining the two. Check out my other videos here.
One of the greatest movies ever made. Beautiful cinematography, heart-pumping soundtrack, breathtaking story, realism as far as the eye can see, perfect acting and perfect casting, everything in this movie is perfect. Alongside Emperor Of The North, it has to be my favorite movie ever made. Nothing will ever top it.
I RUNAWAY TRAIN APROVE THIS MONTAGE
That train is easily the scariest machine in any movie. More than Christine or truck from Duel. Because it is fucking real.
Must the best editing I’ve seen to make a montage. Epic work. Well done.
This is simply amazing
Glad you liked it.
Amazing video! You made a great montage of one of the best train movies ever! Thank you so much for making this video! ❤
absolutely brilliant mashup .... brilliant .....
I saw this at the movies. This is a real classic!
To be real manny has balls of steel
In death, he finally found freedom
You have good understanding about life...
I love “hey man, you picked the train!” *Manny thinks about it for a second* “You’re right”. 😂
I always laugh at the scene where Rebecca De Mornay tells them "You sure picked the wrong train." and Manny just gives her the "Fuuuuuuuuuuuck Yooooooooouuuuu" death stare.
Poor Manny knew she was right.
Nicely done. You boiled the movie down to the essential story without leaving anything important behind.
I just watched the movie and because of the soundtrack change you made it made it so much better, even though I will say the synth in the 80s movies I love this movies synthesizer kinda creeped me out so I prefer this for sure, one of the greatest videos I've ever seen hands down
Glad you liked it. Like I've said before, the movie would have benefited greatly with a properly composed score. The end sequence with Manny riding the locomotive as it disappears into the fog of mythology while the Russian choir sings really stands out from the rest of the movie. Now imagine if the rest of the movie had that musical impact.
If you look at all the major characters, there is not one likeable person to be found. Manny is a career criminal who is nothing but trouble. Buck is a punk. Sara is a lazy employee who stole a nap on one of the locomotives. Warden Rankin is a martinet. Dispatcher Barstow is a douche. It helps make the movie more real. There is no stereotypical hero to save the day. You have a group of seriously flawed people who have to overcome an extremely difficult situation. This film should have won an Oscar, and Jon Voight should have won more than just a Golden Globe for best actor. Cannon Films cranked out a lot of dreck in the 1980s, but this was a masterpiece of scripting, acting, and filming. It is a classic, and one of my all-time favorite films.
This video is a work of art...
Brilliant.
Thanks!
@@warrendubeau851
You paid tribute to a great movie very well..
Props to the camera man for capturing all of this.
THATS SO FUNNY NO ONE HAS EVER MADE THAT JOKE IN EVERY TH-cam DISASTER VIDEO LOLOOOOOOOOOOOL
This movie I will remember always that the good guy doesn't always live bit brings his enemy down with him for the greater good of his friends that to me is a true hero. Jon Voight brought this character alive and I absolutely will love it forever
love this movie
Mannie was going out a Free man , while the warden was going out imprisoned.
The weird thing about it, was that, unbeknownst to Buck and Manny, they chose the Wrong Train...and at the worst time, too.
Manny:"There's my Limousine to Broadway".
Buck:"Why that one"?
Manny:"Because I want it"!
They sneak onboard that Train...just ahead of the Main Engineer, who ends up suffering a Massive Heart Attack, crawls out to the side railing of that Train, and then falls off the Train, dead as a doornail!
Manny and Buck eventually figure out that there's no one running the Train. Then, suddenly, one of the Horns on the Second Engine blows! Turns out that it's a Young Woman, who fell asleep, before the collision with the Eastbound Train, that took a very severe and direct hit, towards the back of it! She was definitely shocked awake by that! She makes it back to the back Engine, and runs into Manny and Buck. After some time, they manage, through a plan that she comes up with, to slow the Engines down.
I could go into the rest of the story, but I won't. We all know what happened. Manny ends up dying free!
Hot take:
The warden survived. He was inside the locomotive which offered him some crash protection as well as protection from the elements and his helicopter was following overhead the whole time. And even if they lost contact briefly, they were close.
@@michlo3393 hmmm... Interesting take , but I worked on hundreds of train wrecks. The reality would be more in favor of Mannie surviving due to the fact that he could have been thrown clear of the wreck. But it's always a possibility they both could have survived a high speed derailment, so long as it wasn't a collision .
@@WiIdbiII I guess it depends on what they crashed into. A simple bumper at the end of the track would have been survivable from inside the loco. If anything, Manny would be dead from hypothermia and frostbite before anyone could get to him.
I love this movie!!!!!!! So emotional and energetic. The actors are superb!!!!!!!!!
Nice editing of a well-edited film ...
Kudos to you for using Interstellar's soundtracks. Nicely done!!
Nice montage…great movie and actors!
MILLÒN GRACIAS POR ESTE VIDEO, TREMENDA OBRA DE ARTE , SE MERECE ESE HOMENAJE, GRAN PELÌCULA, DE LO MEJOR QUE DIÒ LOS 80`S, EEEESPECTACULAR !!!!!!!
Those heavy couplers are like a vice when the slack bunches down a hill. Manny’s fingers were squeezed off like a bunch grapes.
Best scene and music matching To be honest I have just mentioned some seconds ago to a friend that the score of Runaway Train matches scenes as well, as scenes in Interstellar. Apart from Conan the Destroyer these are the only films when I have a WHOA feeling because of the symbiosis of a film with its music.
I wish they had paid for a proper score for the movie. But in the 80s, producers always went for the synthesizer soundtrack because it was cheap. A well-done score can really make a movie. Sicario is one of the best movies I've seen in years, and the soundtrack blended so well with the visuals to complete the movie.
Exceptional movie and montage!
Thanks!

Thank you for making this montage, and I think Ronald Shank said it best.
You're welcome. Share the link.
Nice one. It's interesting when they made the trailer for this film they used the music Henry Mancini wrote for Lifeforce and cut it (at least in the version on the DVD release.) in a way that suggested the film was 'swashbuckling' action adventure, rather than an existentialist prison break film.
I've seen several trailers that misrepresent their movie. The trailer for Drive made it look like a F&F knock-off, not a brooding character study. The trailer for Whiskey Tango Foxtrot made it look like a comedy, when it was a drama. The "Ballroom Blitz" trailer for Suicide Squad made it look like an action comedy. Then there's The Dictator, where the only funny scenes in the movie are in the trailer.
I don't know why they do that, since you're turning away your target audience, and attracting a different audience that will hate your movie because it wasn't what they were expecting.

Your work is amazing! Thanks!
The prison warden played the interrogator in 1984....forgot his name..but a absolutely brilliant actor.
John P. Ryan. Always played a great villain.

My best movie .. always cry at the end...
This video is a keeper.. Very Epic well done 😎👍
Thanks!
Fantastic, congratulations, thanks.
You're gonna push that button and stop this train!
Have to say this was well done enjoyed it
Thanks. Glad you enjoyed it.
This is actually pretty cool.
Plot synopsis: Two convicts and four locomotives decides to run away, much fun were had.
Hola, me encantó...sinceramente...una..Obra..maestra...fantástica....unos escenarios increibles..😊
At 1:51 is that Kramer, Michael Richards? !?!? Holy 💩! 😮
3:34 is I favorite
3:34
Thats so sick riding a train into obvlivion! I would have still jumped, maybe hit soft snow!
But under that layer of soft snow is either solid rock, or frozen solid ground.
This is deep!! Watch closely and imagine the facts
Jon Voight should have gotten an Oscar.
Este film lo ví hace muchos años en compañía de mi madre , fue un Sábado por la noche. Cuando terminamos de verlo comentamos lo excelente de sus actuaciones y lo intensidad de las mismas.
Gran película dirigida por el soviético Andrei Konchalowski basada en una idea de Akira Kurosawa.
Bendiciones
11:22 Ranken thought he could intimidate his way out of that by yelling. So many people look at truth before tone of voice. Manny didn't fall for that kind of bull.
I was about to comment on how Manny uncoupling the lead unit should have dumped the air and caused the lead unit to stop, but then I remembered the brake shoes got burned off back in the yard so it wouldn't have mattered.
12:26-this was a familiar scene, if not the only scene from this movie I remember was Manny riding the locomotive with the cop handcuffed in the cabin.
5:32 everytime i hear this song all i can picture is my neighbor a former b17 gunner flying over germany and comming into contact with german BF109S
I used to read everything about the 8th Air Force I could find. It was absolutely terrifying. You had to tighten up formation when the 109s and 190s attacked, but that meant the 110s and Ju 88s would start firing volleys of rockets into the tightly packed formations. So they had to loosen up, which made them easier prey for the fighters. And this went on for hours.
I've had few encounters with luftwaffe vets in ct and one told me how he had a 2 hour dogfight in France
Revisited this movie yesterday since my teen days. Although captivating and well good cinematic, the very crude acting bothered me and still has again. However, the plot itself is entrancing as the train itself becomes a character on its own by looking sinister and all out destructive to anything on its path. The finale dissappointed me as a teen back then. At that age we might have some other expectations, but its finesse in the poetic sense is being valued at mature age. It has been an interesting rewatch I must say.
It was nominated for Academy Awards in Best Actor, Best Supporting Actor and Best Film Editing.
11:07 - 11:08 = the only real big flub in the film; that was a siding which was never used .... so it should NOT have had train tracks worn into the snow .... but you can see it does .... (from the previous takes, I assume) .....
I remember seeing that in the theatre. The wheel tracks in the "unused siding" even went under the barricade for the tunnel.
@@warrendubeau851 I imagine they had to re build that wooden barricade a few times ... that would have been a pain ....
The man is without his hand engineer!
The music is on par🤘
Thanks. Synthesizer soundtracks were in every action movie from the 80s, and unfortunately, really dates them. I just wish they had spent a few bucks and paid a composer to write a proper score. I think that's why the end scene music stood out so much. The choir singing as Manny rides to oblivion really worked. I always liked the Interstellar soundtrack and thought it would really help the emotional impact scenes in this movie.
Moral of the story, Manny died a free man.
2:31: best line in the movie
the ultimate sacrifice...
This movie was actually better then the new "unstoppable " train movie
Good one
More, much more, to the story that what meets the eye and ear. It was a magic trick, a magic trick.
realistically at the end they would have stopped because the air supply in the brakes would engage for the anglecocks being open.
You left out the part where Barstow screams, "I'm The Devil!!!!"
"When will movie companies learn that the Dead Man Switch has nothing to do with the brakes, and kills the power, so the locomotive will just coast to a stop."
Not quite. The Alerter system on US railroads is nullified if the locomotive independent brake is actuated. That's how the 'Crazy Eights' runaway managed to breeze merrily through the Ohio countryside for more than 60 miles without an engineer, having burned out the brakes. Yes, it is possible. However, the Emergency Fuel Cutoff buttons on the engines under Multiple Unit Control in the movie should still have worked, which would have stopped them.
Maybe things are different in Canada. I've been told many times that the Dead Man Switch will kill the power to the wheels, and the train will just coast to a stop. Back in the 80s a friend of mine had a brother that was a Porter with VIA, and would describe the engine crews wandering around the yard during stops looking for rocks that were heavy enough to place on the throttle plate and nullify the Deadman Switch.
@@warrendubeau851Not a railway worker here, but I'm told CN and the major US Class One railroads use similar alerter systems. The dead man's switch may have been superseded owing to the unnecessary fatigue it would impart to an engineer (driver in UK parlance) needing to keep a foot down in one place for hours. Maybe the old locos in the movie did use that system.
I remember a scene in the 1970s comedy-drama Silver Streak, in which someone jams a tool box over the dead man's pedal, causing the train to run right through the station.
@@markuswx1322 Guys used to get around the deadman pedal by placing weights on the pedal. After the Hinton disaster, investigators discovered a lunch box was wedged into the pedal. One of the engine crew was sleeping in the back, and the one driving either fell asleep or had a heart attack and the freight train blew through a siding where it was supposed to stop and let a VIA passenger train go by. A lot of people died because of that one. In the 90s it was a button that had to be pressed every 15-20 seconds or so.
@@warrendubeau851 Absent newer systems like Positive Train Control, I believe the typical alerter system still consists of a button like that, or more precisely, a control input of any kind, most commonly the air horn, to prevent a power cutoff. Common practice with freight service is a bit different from passenger service in that when assembling cars in the yard the air hoses are not connected.
The scenario in Runaway Train is quite consistent here, a combination of a wide open (notch 8) throttle and a locomotive independent brake application. In the Crazy Eights incident the engineer deliberately dismounted the engine to align a switch, thinking he had applied enough braking to slow the train. In fact neither the train brake nor the dynamic brake was applied and the train was moving too fast for the engineer to remount. The locomotive independent brake simply burned out as the train accelerated.
never thought I'd see someone dr. Strangelove a train
Train 3010: our both coupler will crush your hand!
I love these engine's they hay have style about them ,they're mean looking locomotives ❤id live to ride with experienced engineerer in one flat out . 😅
Good editing
I'm damned sure Manny went out to 'Gloria'... Never forget this film but soundtrack made it epic....
Train 812: chill we will begin stopped ;)
Great Movie !
The warden wouldn’t have died if he didn’t board the train. Manny was dead anyway on that train I have no sympathy for the warden. His motivation was to bring back manny alive but on an even playing field manny came out on top
History epic movie wow a bad guy turns to a hero to save his friend if I'm right legend Jon
Can you explain why the coupler of the train pushed and squeesed man's hand?
And the man from the hand Begin hurted by the coupler of the train is screaming
Why the man's hand Begin hurted bu the coupler of the train?
12:00 is where it can make a man cry
That scene near the end with Manny on the train
Train 3010: yeah maybe you're right...
