Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
This is a direct remake of the 1975 Japanese hit 'The Bullet Train,' which beat 'Speed' to the high-speed bomb premise by nearly two decades.
Higuchi and Anno's post-Shin Godzilla collaboration continues here — notice the identical bureaucratic montages mocking government paralysis.
