Continuity mistake: After the train comes to a complete and lurching stop, the porter is shown being thrown forward into the bad guys as a lot of baggage falls all over the place. In the final fight scene as Ryback is entering the dining car, all the tables have all their place settings perfectly intact.
Under Siege 2 (1995)
Ending / spoiler
Directed by: Geoff Murphy
Starring: Steven Seagal, Katherine Heigl, Everett McGill, Eric Bogosian
Ryback kills Penn, in a gruesome fight in the Kitchen. The Porter takes over the helicopter, as the train is still headed towards the Nevada Petrol Express. Ryback saves his niece, and meets Dane. Dane tells him it's too late to stop him, and that stopping him is impossible. Ryback shoots the laptop, and Grazer One's control is fully restored. The Government employs the self destruct sequence just as Casey and his niece escape the train. The hostages all survive. The ending shot shows Casey and his niece, at his relative's grave, paying tribute to his brother.

Bobby Zachs: I shouldn't have got back on this fuckin' train.
Trivia: When the satellite destroys the fertiliser plant in China we see a 2 second shot of a steel tower collapsing into a ball of flames. This exact shot was used in one of Steven Segal's other films: On Deadly Ground.
Question: Were Travis Dane and Marcus Penn planning on killing all the mercenaries at the the end as well as the hostages? I kind of got that impression during Dane's speech towards the end.
Chosen answer: Dane's speech was for the benefit of the hostages, not mercs. (It could be assumed that they knew he was lying.) Near the end of the film, a helicopter appears the train and prompts the mercs to board. The pilot's announcement of the first pickup (who was actually the porter) as well as the pilot's reaction to the fight between the porter and the female merc indicates that he expected to pick all of them up.

Answer: I would say yes they where planning on killing some of the mercs. There is one fact that shows that. if they had plan on putting all the mercs into the copter, then the guys in the engine car should have know at x time get out and move back to get into the copter, giving the fact that they are still in the engine car when it hits the other train tells me they didn't know.
