Directed by: Tony Scott
Starring: Denzel Washington, Rosario Dawson, Chris Pine, Ethan Suplee
Continuity mistake: When Dewey and Gilleece are in the rail roller truck, the tailgate of the truck is clean with nothing on it. After the attempt to climb on 777 fails and the door gets smashed off, the tailgate suddenly has some kind of equipment either attached to or exposed off the tailgate in the middle.
Other mistake: In the scene immediately after the locomotives that were trying to slow 777 get derailed and blow up, the next scene immediately shows Colson in the cab of his train exclaiming about the explosion which he sees just over the tree tops. Impossible. Colson's train is still miles away on the head on collision course with 777, and Colson could not possibly see this explosion, let alone as if it was just around the bend.
Will: This is Will Colson, the conductor speaking; just to let you know we're gonna gonna run this bitch down.
Trivia: This was Tony Scott's final feature film before his death in 2012.
Question: Wouldn't it be easier if Stewart just attached his cab to 777 and any other qualified personnel with him just walked from Steward to 777 and took control of it, too easy perhaps? Or the welder could have someone with a BB gun in the back to shoot the famous "kill switch" next to fuel tank, instead of the cops trying to?
Answer: Put a man in the back of the truck with a broomstick and use it to push the fuel cut off switch as the truck drives alongside the train.
